Your daily reminder that #FossilFuelsFundFascists Why is the EU giving a free pass to a Greek oligarch to keep shipping LNG from fascist Russia??? Fossil export $$ directly fund Moscow’s genocidal war against our ally Ukraine! 🇺🇦 #MakeRussiaSmallAgain

B4Ukraine@b4ukraine.org · 2w ago

The EU deserves credit for its 21st sanctions package—but it also contains one dangerous exemption. A Greek carve-out allows shipping magnate George Prokopiou's Dynagas to continue transporting Russian LNG to third countries. This exemption must be allowed to expire—not become a permanent loophole.

AND why is anyone still investing in Tesla or any other of Apartheid Clyde’s BS firms???

Thursday, July 30. Just a horrible day in ICE flights. At least 79 flights on 29 planes. At least 21 removal flights, of which at least 4 were likely third-country removals. ICE flights hit every continent except Australia and Antarctica in one day.

Facts which BCI, AIMCo, CPPIB and other pension fund investment managers in Canada seem not to understand. They are doubling down on fossil fuels while downplaying the impacts of climate change on their future financial viability. 🔥🌍🔥
