Russia's invasion of Ukraine is threatening food security worldwide.

20 million tons of grain are currently blocked in Ukrainian silos by Putin's war.

The EU is mobilising on all fronts to increase global food security and counteract the emerging food crisis.

'The Ukrainian flag symbolises the most common Ukrainian landscape: a yellow field of grain under a blue sky.

It is atrocious to see that deliberately Putin is blocking the wheat supply of the world.'

Genius hack!

A privacy conference sponsored by Google and Meta is like a healthcare conference sponsored by Phillip Morris or a climate change conference sponsored by ExxonMobil. In other words, it is bullshit.

Business-as-usual is a death march, it's not about "the environment" - we are heading for the horror of social collapse. Scientists around the world know this. Some from #ScientistRebellion have been arrested 8 times since @IPCC_CH@twitter.com report. Now or never, we need more. #JustStopOil

Good overview of the Belgian gov's data retention proposal, forcing platforms to provide metadata to authorities. This is important as it would result in a ban of those that don't - or can't - like Signal. As this proposal could spread to other EU member states, it needs to be fought at every turn, before it is too late https://edri.org/our-work/belgium-wants-to-ban-signal-a-harbinger-of-european-policy-to-come/
