In the last decades, the world has made fantastic progress against extreme poverty. In 1990, 2.3 billion people lived in extreme poverty. Since then, the number of extremely poor people has declined by 1.5 *billion* people. 🧵

I'm a left-leaning person and I've voted the Green Party since my first vote. From both sides, but mainly from the right, I frequently see harsh criticism about the German Public Broadcasting (ÖRR), which is funded by the population. This is a German reportage about Diversity of Opinion in the ÖRR:

Femicides worldwide are one of humanities most shameful and tragic problems. Especially in South Africa, this seems to be a huge problem. This is why more and more people worldwide demand more protection for women in South Africa and around the globe. www.unwomen.org/en/news-stor...

Indeed. This has to stop! Israel has the right to exist, but so does Palestine. Peace is the only way forward. There has been too much violence. A dialogue has to happen and compromises will be required. Two neighboring countries, voluntarily coexisting in peace. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Climate protection is expensive, but too little climate protection is more expensive! Every Euro that EU member states spend on climate protection will avoid a multiple of the follow-up costs for the economy, according to an analysis based on peer-reviewed sources. www.tagesschau.de/wissen/klima...

Gamers (I am!) are an important target group for right-wing extremists (I am clearly not!). To scientist @mstuerenburg.bsky.social the gaming-scene acts as kind of a 'weather vane', often displaying phenomena before they are felt in wider society. rp-online.de/digitales/ga...

I love good news! 🏳️‍🌈🫶 edition.cnn.com/2025/11/10/p...

It’s one thing to have different environmental/health priorities for your foundation, it’s quite another to have been bankrolling one of the primary sources of bullshit on the topic.

It's hard to convey my disgust & moral outrage at Trump & Rubio for killing hundreds of thousands My team at Duke has spent almost a decade studying the pros & cons of health aid, which has undoubtedly saved millions of live but has down sides. We have a policy paper out soon on the topic. 1/n

Recognizing or stopping a genocide before it happens? This recent study shows a possible path towards this most important goal. www.eurekalert.org/news-release...

Just saw this on reddit. It's not mentioned in the video, but this technology will definitely reduce unintended animal deaths in open field agriculture! I bet it still has problems but it's a cool idea! www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0Aq...

Stop vacuuming spiders!🕷️ Yes, they'll DIE and no, they won't be able to escape. If they survive the first impact, they'll die horribly in a place without prey, water or enough air. Spiders are amazing creatures helping us with pests we don't want in our homes. Just relocate them and LET THEM LIVE!🫶

With the atrocities happening in Sudan, it's worth remembering this about the region: 'Many scholars consider the violence in Darfur to be the result of the region being one of the first "climate change conflicts" given the rising tensions over land and water resources between ethnic groups.'

Have a great World Vegan Day, y'all! 🥬 In places where it's possible, not consuming animal products means less suffering. 🙏 Our world is in dire need of more empathy and less cruelty. Veganism can also help restoring our over-exploited earth, since the production of plants requires less land! 👍

Very interesting and important paper: "It constitutes what we might call scientific mimicry. This means that climate deniers reject the authority of the scientific community, but copy its language, form and visual aesthetics in order to gain credibility." www.gu.se/en/news/clim...

🥳🎉 “This is a major step forward. It’s a relief to see the Court recognise... that new oil and gas fields threaten our most basic human rights. Requiring governments to assess the global #climate consequences of oil &gas combustion before approving new fossil projects is common sense,& long overdue"

After decades of criminalization, last year, Germany has finally legalized #Cannabis. This does not stop conservative politicians, members of police unions or uninformed doctors to rant about the law. They try their hardest to reverse it, in order to hunt and stigmatize innocent people again. 🖕 🥦🍃

To me, Jamie XX and Four Tet are the GOATs. If you don't know them and enjoy electronic music, you gotta give them a try! Let them take you through a magical, musical journey. 🌄 Headphones recommended. 🎧 Lift off! 🚀👩‍🚀 Jamie XX: www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0Gp...

Public opposition against wind energy should always ring some alarm bells and it's worth taking a closer look. @simonoxfphys.com once again uncovers dirty fossil fuel money and bogus lawsuits against clean energy, orchestrated by deceptive fossil fuel front groups. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OBl...

I keep hearing Fake-News about Germany still being 'occupied' by the United States of America. That's wrong! Germany is fully sovereign since the 3rd of October 1990 after signing the Two Plus Four Agreement. US military is stationed because of NATO, not occupation! germania.diplo.de/ru-de/258006...

Is the German media landscape racist? According to this study, it sadly is, and often unintentionally. www.dw.com/en/german-me...

Today, the @wmo-global.bsky.social issued a stark warning for our future: current CO₂ and other greenhouse gases are at their highest level ever, with the sharpest rise in 2024, mainly due to the burning of fossil fuels and wildfires. #ClimateCatastrophe www.tagesschau.de/wissen/klima...

I'm currently reading lots of criticism about María Corina Machado. I don't know a lot about her, but it should be noted that her rival, Nicolás Maduro is a far-left dictator, in power since decades, who likely rigs his elections. It's not hard to understand her anti-communist, pro-capitalist views.

Donald Trump is a loser.

The current German government wants to forbid the prescription of #cannabis via telehealth and the shipment of medicinal cannabis. This would force many patients in rural areas back to the black market because of: * backwards thinking or unaware doctors * regional foiling of legal Cannabis Clubs

The EU decided on one of the most cringe regulations ever. It's not final,but plant-based alternatives to animal foods won't be allowed to be called "burger", "sausage", etc. anymore. It's not about the consumers, it's about protecting profits of the cruel meat industry. www.focus.de/finanzen/eu-...

Very insightful article about the recent death of rock climber Balin Miller, including some life-saving lessons that one can apply to all kinds of dangerous situations. andykirkpatrick.substack.com/p/the-kill-p...

Bullshit. Our best weapons against climate change is mandating the necessary emissions cuts and ending fossil fuel driven corruption

On Wednesday, the EU-parliament will vote on the 'issue' of food naming in the context of replacement products for animal-based foods. According to consumer advocates, there isn't any issue or confusion tho, it's just expensive lobby work by the meat industry. 😠 www.tagesschau.de/wirtschaft/v...

The concluding paragraph of #ScienceUnderSiege (www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/micha...)

This has to be one of the most important books of our time. @timothysnyder.bsky.social teaches us through historical analysis and accounts, alongside a beautiful and haunting illustration by Nora Krug, how not to fall into the traps of those embracing tyranny and authoritarianism.

There’s nothing traditional about a “tradwife”, writes Victoria Bateman. “Women have always been at the heart of the economy, doing everything from building pyramids to mining coal and brewing beer.”

Women in power are incredibly important and change the world for the greater good of humanity. Congratulations to the honourable @albaerbock.bsky.social on her new role as President of the General Assembly. 🕊️🫶 www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qfm...

It's depressing that often when you look up an animal online, the first results you find are ways to eat it.

Humanity must stop burning fossil fuels as quickly as possible, while safeguarding a just and efficient global transition. Human-caused climate change is very expensive and very dangerous! Great and important video by @pbs.org featuring @hausfath.bsky.social 👍 www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMf3...

Dear @hendrikstreeck.bsky.social the rising abuse of cannabis prescriptions could have easily been avoided, if the promised specialist shops ("Fachgeschäfte") would be there already. Please encourage your party to take this important step towards consumers health. www.swissinfo.ch/eng/demograp....

Women's rights are under siege all around the world, often with the help of religions! In Turkey the state religious authority pushes for sermons that interpret the Quran in a very strict way. This prepares the public for a push towards the denial of women's rights. www.tagesschau.de/ausland/euro...

They have lost their minds.🧠 It's horrific to see the cacophony of anti-trans rhetoric from the far-right creeping into and influencing the public.📣 It's always some minority they bash on, instead of focusing on real problems like climate change or wealth inequality.🤦‍♂️ www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-...
