Martin Dermine of Pan Europe: “We show that 85% of the apples have multiple residues, and we don’t know if they are safe for consumption or not". If the same apples were sold as processed baby food, 93% of the samples would be banned.

Trump didn’t seek congressional OK before attacking Venezuela. We spoke with Sarah Burns @rittigers.bsky.social, who has spent years studying how presidents and Congress divide up the power to launch military action, and wrote a book on “The Politics of War Powers”.

Francis Hallé n'était pas seulement un immense chercheur en biologie végétale et un défenseur acharné des forêts et des arbres. C'était aussi un être humain d'une grande gentillesse et d'une grande humilité. Il savait écouter, partager et se mettre au service d'autrui. www.lemonde.fr/disparitions...

Putting greenhouse gas emissions numbers into context can be hard. The numbers are large, unfamiliar, and not intuitive. That's why Project Drawdown and a team at the University of San Francisco collaborated to create a new web tool -- Carbon in Context. www.carbonincontext.com

Putting the health-care system back together will take years. The WHO puts the cost at $7bn-8bn. In the meantime Gazans continue to suffer

"Addressing the ecological crisis is not apolitical, in the sense that steps towards sustainable and ecologically desirable futures will inevitably disrupt existing power structures and confront vested interests" Great to see this understanding finally seeping into the ecology research community

Farming exceptionalism: try doing this if you're protesting against a genocide or climate inaction!

The UK has been warmer than the historical 'norm' for many weeks now. And greenhouse gas emissions, thus also CO₂ concentration in the atmosphere, keep rising... bsky.app/profile/keel... istheukhotrightnow.com

At #EUAgriFoodDays, MEP Elsi Katainen reflects on the post-2027 CAP proposal and what it means for farm subsidies, and flags the upcoming review of the #UTP Directive (Unfair Trading Practices) as a key priority to ensure farmers get fair and remunerative prices from the market.

If Britons were to look at Spain, they would see a rapidly growing economy with a relaxed attitude to immigration—in both respects a sharp contrast to their own land. Yet the two share similarities

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

Yep. "…clear that fossil-fuel companies, and their adjacent organizations, are the primary lobbyists for CCUS subsidies and that these subsidies benefit fossil-fuel companies at the expense of both taxpayers and the future health of our planet" www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Dans l'histoire de la Ve République, aucun ministre de la Culture n'avait à ce point attaqué la presse, menacé les journalistes, intimidé des rédactions, tenté de faire taire des révélations. La combattre c'est combattre pour la survie même de la presse. Soutien à @thomas-legrand.bsky.social.

Larry Summers: "This is way beyond anything Nixon ever did ... this is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers, launching assaults on universities, launching assaults on law firms. This is really scary stuff."

It has been the honor of my life to serve as Commissioner of BLS alongside the many dedicated civil servants tasked with measuring a vast and dynamic economy. It is vital and important work and I thank them for their service to this nation.

The EU is struggling to sell its trade deal with the US as it becomes clear that many unresolved issues have been kicked down the road.

OPINION: Bringing Ukraine into the fold of the EU doesn’t mean bringing the war closer, it means pushing the bloc’s weight and financial power eastward to the actual front line.

As I just said on CNN, my father's parents were Nakba survivors. I don't want Israeli children to live in fear and I don't want Palestinian children to starve to death. There is nothing anyone could do to make me put nationalistic talking points above basic human rights.

The Roman fort of Trimontium lies in the central Scottish Borders. Agricola placed a lowland fort by the Eildon Hills. The fort was built for 1,000 men. It had two main periods of activity: first after Agricola’s invasion and second from AD 140 to c. AD 184. #RomanFortThursday

1/ The EU Commission proposes a budget 2028-2034 that is around €580bn higher than its precursor. The increase is a bit less enormous considering that NGEU repayments will already consume €168bn. However, there is still quite some additional spending in there, mainly going to the new Pillar II:

Huge congratulations, Saloni!

When we think about money flowing from richer to poorer countries, foreign aid is one of the first things that comes to mind. But another major channel receives far less attention in mainstream conversations: the money that migrants send back to their families or bring home after working abroad.

Use illegitimate power to provoke violence Use the violence as an excuse for greater state violence Provoke a more violent response And the cycle continues A pretty standard tactic for fascists

REVEALED: European fertiliser plants rely on US fracked gas. ⚠️“While fertiliser giant Yara markets ‘green solutions’, it is pioneering new frontiers for fracking & fossil fuels. 🚨"Our #foodsystem is becoming BigOil’s emergency escape hatch” says @rajpatel.org www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Fertilizer giant Yara's move to 'sustainable' ammonia relies on #fracked #gas harmful to Texan communities, @desmog.com investigation finds. They're calling it 'sustainable' but "simply propping up an inherently wasteful agricultural model, without touching the root problem," says @rajpatel.org
