‘I went to a protected bird-spotting place and we were hiding in a hut to photograph birds further away. However, this baby wagtail wasn’t too impressed by our large lenses.’
The Bavarian capital of Munich has attracted surfers for decades, in spite of the fact that it's hundreds of miles from the coast. How? The Eisbach wave, which sits on the edge of the Eisbach river. TheWorld.org's Rebecca Rosman dove into how the wave was created, and what it's like to surf it.
Host 2 mandatory meetings in #Germany and #Norway. Require attendance of Prime Minister or President only. Make a rule if you miss both meetings and you’re out. 🪬🙏
there is an historical reason for germany to support israel:
germany aka formerly known as west germany has never reviewed its tight collaboration with apartheid south africa
when most other countries had already turned their back on apartheid south africa, it was west germany which breached every embargo and did business with the apartheid regime
given the current situation in palestine, germany is forced to deal with the lie underpinning its very existence: that germany allegedly has learned from its nazi past, and that germany thus has become a democratic, anti-racist country
Tragic to see #Germany descend into #fascism again, from their robust defence of the #Genocide to their totalitarian criminalisation of peaceful environmental protestors.
We really need to stop buying into the argument that #ClimateActivists are "radical" or "destructive". The opposite is true: the nature of the protests have been peaceful and, on the whole, pretty tame.
The idea that, say, sitting on a road is "radical", "extreme" and "criminal" came from a bunch of #FossilFuel aligned think tanks, parroted by the media.
Reject them.
The framing needs to be: Fossil fuel companies are radical, extreme, criminal.
"Five members of #LetzteGeneration have been charged with “forming a criminal organisation”, ... under section 129 of the German criminal code. It is believed to be the first time the law has been applied to a non-violent protest group.
“This charge is meant for mafia and organised crime. This charge criminalises every act of support towards the group Letzte Generation. This creates an immense chilling effect on all #climate protests in #Germany.”
