😮‍💨 Another #SOTEU, more praise for Europe’s firefighters. But applause won’t staff fire stations, provide the right equipment or make the job safer. @politico.eu and @ziaweise.bsky.social spoke to firefighters about what they actually need: resources, not praise. 🔗👇 www.politico.eu/article/give...

Activists turned the EU Commission HQ in Brussels into Trump Tower, protesting the EU's willingness to give President Trump what he wants EU politicians rip up EU nature and privacy laws to please Trump, promise to buy US oil and gas, and overlook breaches of international law #ResistTrumpsAgenda
Activists project a golden facade and the words “TRUMP TOWER” onto the European Commission headquarters in Brussels, mimicking one of President Trump’s skyscrapers, with a Greenpeace message urging EU leaders meeting today to stop capitulating to his demands. The Greenpeace Belgium activists were protesting the EU’s continued dependence on the US for oil and gas imports, the removal of protections for the environment, public health and privacy, and the lack of resistance to the US’s breaches of international law.

In 2016, a freak storm wiped out the entire strawberry crop on Hugues Falys’ farm in Hainaut province, western Belgium.  Falys now wants those responsible for the climate crisis to pay for the damage — and he’s chosen as his target one of the world’s biggest oil companies: TotalEnergies.
