As scientists and @SciRebFr , we are calling for a mobilization against the extreme right through voting, collective commitment, direct action, and collective organization. 🧵

In 🇫🇷, several hundred scientists are calling for a mobilization against the fascist Rassemblement National through voting & collective commitment. RN is indeed an extreme right-wing party like any other, and it represents a real danger to democracy.

Just before the early parliamentary elections, it is important to take a stand and point out the threat posed by the Rassemblement National coming to power. Our opinion piece is currently being circulating through various media and collecting large support.

🚨There are currently 4 people on unlimited hunger strike against climate breakdown in Germany. They are demanding nothing more than an honest government statement by the German Chancellor which states three scientific facts.


1/5taz.de/Klima-Hungerst…
1 The continued existence of human civilization is extremely endangered by the climate catastrophe.
2 There is no longer any remaining CO2 budget: there are already hundreds of tons too much CO2 in the air.
3 We have to radically change course now, even if it is years late.

📢In a press conference today, they announced they will undergo one week of re-feeding to give time to the German Chancellor to meet for a discussion. They did this also to respond to the accusation of blackmailing the Government.

Did you know that targeting inequalities is among the best climate policies? Let us explain! 🧵

1/8
The continuous CO2 emissions are leading to a rise in temperature, with heat waves, floods, and other natural disasters as a consequence. The parasitic growth we are taught to worship is impossible to maintain within the planetary boundaries.
2/8
Degrowth means rethinking which industries are needed and how we want to distribute available resources. We envision this to be a democratic process supported by citizen's assemblies.

Doctor Hugo Raguet, French scientist in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, will go on trial on March 5th in Munich for three non-violent direct actions in Scientist Rebellion's United Against Climate Failure campaign along with several other scientists #ScientistsOnTrial Image
Hugo was one of the scientists who glued scientific papers on the windows of car dealers and blocked a road in Munich, demanding transport decarbonization, and proposing speed limits on autobahns and a public transport ticket at 9€. #UniteAgainstClimateFailure
During the action, Hugo beseeched onlookers and the public to listen to the science and consider the consequences of continuing on the path of business as usual: the collapse of society and widespread humanitarian crises. The scientists further urged the public to act with them.

👩‍🎓 The students targeted for peacefully protesting against the @TotalEnergies led @EACOP_ project now confront the threat of 1yr imprisonment. The heavy-handed response from authorities highlights the urgent need to protect environmental defenders. #JusticeForUganda (3/10)

GENOCIDE: PRESENT TENSE
On this day in 1945, the Soviet Union's Red Army liberated the Auschwitz Concentration Camp. The atrocities carried out in Auschwitz, and in other Nazi camps, included mass execution in gas chambers; forced hard labor and perverse human experiments.
1/x 🧵 Image
The anniversary of the camp's liberation is used to commemorate the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust as well as the millions of other minority groups who were targeted during this campaign of genocide.
2/x
Nazi doctors carried out barbaric human experiments on children and adults alike. In one experiment victims were exposed to extreme cold and then thrown into boiling water to investigate reheating. Victims often died as a result or faced lifelong injuries and disfigurement.
