notorious radical left communist rag says tax the rich

These two stories are somehow connected. Apparently, if you lobby tirelessly for more pollution & ecological wreckage, that’s exactly what you get.

"Avoiding ecological collapse is too big a responsibility to be outsourced to the invisible hand of the market,” warns our Head of EU @vincianebxl.bsky.social. We must stop cruelly caging animals in factory farms that poison the soil, pollute the water, & harm communities.

Yesterday, we joined thousands on the streets of Brussels for the #ClimateMarch 💚 Our message was clear: factory farming fuels the very climate chaos that harms communities, kills farmed animals, and threatens the sustainability of our food systems. It's time to #EndIt!

Great to see so many friends and colleagues at the Climate March today in Brussels 🌍🌳 #MarcheClimat

Farm visits are definitely a perk of my job at @ciwf.eu 💚

Symbolique assez forte : Le nombre de signataires contre la loi Duplomb a dépassé le nombre de voix du parti de Laurent Duplomb (LR) aux législatives de 2024 😇

L’Etat : «Si vous n’êtes pas contents votez » -Ignore le résultat des urnes «Vous n’avez qu’à vous mobiliser». -Réprime violemment la moindre manif «Il existe des outils de consultation» -Verrouille les sujets de referendum «Sinon prenez au moins la parole » -Se torche avec les pétitions

Je n’ai pas vu le film mais le roman graphique qui retrace l’enquête est édifiant 😳

9 in 10 Europeans believe fish should be protected at least to the same extent as other land animals. If you agree, email your MEP urging them to ensure the reform of the EU Animal Transport Regulation provides the highest welfare standards for aquatic animals⬇️ #RethinkFish buff.ly/DI87i4m

Cristal-clear exposé on ways the EU Common Agricultural Policy can be better leveraged to improve animal welfare by @fourpawsint.bsky.social

What could the #FutureOfFood look like? @eea.europa.eu used foresight to develop four contrasted imaginaries for a sustainable Europe in 2050, looking at how our food, energy and mobility systems and the built environment could evolve - and how each of these imaginaries could withstand major shocks.

📢 Join us and 570+ organisations from across the EU and beyond: call on MEPs to address unprecedented attacks on NGOs in the European Parliament and ensure that citizens’ voices are heard! 📄 Read our statement: eeb.org/library/civi... #StopAttackingNGOs

By delaying the revision of the Animal Welfare package time and time again, @ec.europa.eu is allowing this practice to continue. It’s time to deliver the proposals and ban it not only in photo exhibitions, but in real life.

“We discovered a way to produce the cheapest eggs in history, through giant industrial farms, but in doing so made our food supply highly vulnerable to disease. This leads to volatility in supply, and inflated prices when it goes wrong.“ unherd.com/2025/03/why-...

“There should be no European Citizens Initiative that has no answer and no follow-up from the Commission” said European Parliament’s VP Nicolae Stefanuta at the #ECIDay Time to #EndTheCageAge!

In Strasbourg tonight, looking forward to tomorrow’s discussion #endthecageage

Rare to see events in the European Parliament on a Friday, but this conversation organised by @iddri.bsky.social was worth joining as we are all waiting for the EU Vision

European Commission: Climate policies are source of red tape for farmers 🙄 Scientists: Global warming will cause major crop losses and drive food prices up in the EU. It’s the biggest security challenge of our time. metis.unibw.de/de/nike/

Higher animal welfare standards are not a burden, they "bring benefits to farmers and animals", said Animal Welfare Commissioner Oliver Varhelyi, stressing that the modernisation of #AnimalWelfare rules is an opportunity the @ec.europa.eu "cannot miss". #EndtheCageAge #DeliverTheProposal

"Stopping bird flu in its tracks, and preventing untold future pandemics, depends on regulating factory farming now" - Katrina Vandenheuvel for @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

“Business-as-usual is not an option” - the #StrategicDialogue consensus report made that clear. As part of EU Food Policy Coalition, we have some ideas on how to help @christophehansen.bsky.social turn recommendations into reality! Check out our letter: https://buff.ly/40wlj0l

Nice to see this event coming together!

The EU’s Court of Justice has decided to allow only some NGOs to join our landmark #EndTheCageAge legal case. Banning cages matters for animals, the environment, consumers protection & our democracy. Our reaction: www.ciwf.eu/media-and-ne...

The new Eurobarometer on CAP "confirms the findings of the 2023 Eurobarometer on animal welfare: consumers expect farming to be subject to high animal welfare standards," our Head of EU @vincianebxl.bsky.social told The Brussels Times. Read more ➡️https://bitly.cx/PVsC

Thanks SE, AT, DK, FI, DE & SI for saying it as it is: it's time for the @ec.europa.eu to present the long overdue proposals to review the EU animal welfare rules and ban cages as promised. This is what this #AGRIFISH Council meant for #AnimalWelfare: ciwf.eu/media-and-ne...

These platforms are essential to avoid further polarization of the debate, which is detrimental to everyone around the table. Great to see unity among stakeholders including @ciwfeu.bsky.social to call the Commission out on this one

🐖The EU Platform on Animal Welfare was due to meet today, but has been postponed until further notice. 🐔HSI/Europe joined forces with other NGOs, scientists & industry stakeholders to raise our serious concerns about this with @ec.europa.eu. 🐄Here's why ⬇️ animalhealtheurope.eu/resources/ne...

The European Parliament has officially confirmed the new @ec.europa.eu. 🧵
