Joanie ✔️😉If you feel helpless against the fossil fuel destruction, join us in Lützerath from January 12th.
Thousands of people are joining forces: we will block this machine and defeat the coal mafia.
Lützerath is under attack.
The coal industry wants to destroy the village of Lützerath: they are trying to evacuate the brave, pacifists activists who are holding grounds to protect our future.
Follow @[email protected] for live reporting.
The "coal mafia" has arrived.
Annihilation of nature and life has started at @[email protected]
This is not a dystopia.
This is Germany, in 2023.
Today is DayX #TagX
This is not a dystopian movie.
This is the "coal mafia" destroying our future in #Luetzerath. 🇩🇪
Thousands of people are joining the Resistance against the destruction of #Luetzerath by a coal company!
Today in #Lützerath hundreds of people came to oppose the coal mining industry.
The crowd managed to get a bagger to stop.
Thousands more people will join in the coming days ✊
The "agents of coal" are attacking peaceful protectors of the climate.
It is, indeed, a blunt phrasing, but it reflects, according to the locals, how the "coal mafia" has control over the entire region, from politicians to local authorities.
Peaceful protesters are trying to prevent the emissions of 280.000.000 Tons of CO2 in Lützerath.
German authorities respond with torture.
In 2018, German authorities wasted Millions of euros of public money to evict the forest of Hambach, on behalf of a coal company.
It failed.
The police operation was later ruled illegal in court.
The exact same thing is happening, again, in #Lützerath
<< Coal company RWE controls the entire region, we call them "the coal mafia" >> once told me a local elderly.
The city of Essen has received 17,200,000 euros from RWE, in 2021 alone.

The coal industry needs Police brutality, in order to increase their CO2 emissions.

LuapViolent repression is *required* by the coal industry to keep expanding coal mines.
📹 Climate activists are being loaded in a truck provided by the fossil fuel giant RWE.
The Nazi regime made coal mining "a national priority", back in 1937.
Today, the law from the Third Reich era still allows coal companies to seize land and expropriate people of #Luetzerath.

Anti-corruption laws seem inefficient in Germany:
The city of Essen received 17,200,000 euros from coal company RWE in 2021.
The Mayor @[email protected] himself works for RWE.
Believe it or not, this is legal.💰🤯
This picture from @[email protected] says it all.

Brave activists are still resisting the police eviction around the clock.
They use monopods, tunnels, ziplines and treehouses to slow down the destruction. ✊💛
The 280,000,000 Tons of coal under #Lutzerath must stay in the ground.
Join us on Saturday for the big action !
Join us in #Lützerath tomorrow with @[email protected] to protest and oppose coal mining.
The largest coal mine of Europe is only:
40 minutes from Köln
2h from Amsterdam
2h from Brussels
5h from Paris
How far are you ? 👉 https://goo.gl/maps/kB4gf7HZeyz3v6bu8

These scenes of destruction are not from Ukraine.
This is happening in Germany.
For coal mining.
In 2023.
Greta Thunberg on Twitter
“Climate strike week 230. We are currently in Lützerath, a German village threatened to be demolished for an expansion of a coal mine. People have been resisting for years. Join us here at 12 or a local protest tomorrow to demand that #LützerathBleibt !#ClimateStrike”
Approaching #Lützerath
Later, 35.000 joined the protest to defend #Luetzerathbleibt
You could see people coming, all the way to the horizon.
The amount of public money wasted to serve the interests of the coal industry is colossal.
This is how our taxes are spent.
To protect coal mining.
Welcome to 2023.

Theo Watson@Joanie amazing!! Almost comical. Mud / earth helping where it can.
benni@Joanie lol. what?!
Mike Tyka@Joanie lol. Instant Internet classic.
lotus eater boi@Joanie love to see a self-own from the pigs
Jonathan Granskog@Joanie so hilarious, why are the police so useless in the mud? But I'm glad they are. Benny hill theme song would fit it.

dernkat@Joanie great thread and thank you for documenting it! #luetzerath
*This video shows a long line of police in riot gear, the ones in the foreground are trapped in the mud. A mage in a hooded red robe walks around them while they struggle to stand and fall over in a comedic fashion, and wads of mud are flung at them.

CapritiaJH@Joanie Hi, I'm impressed by the coverage of the German coalmine protests! But -- the https://mastodon.art/@PleaseCaption@botsin.space is pointing out your images don't have alt text tags for blind and low-vision people who use screen readers. Doesn't need to be extensive -- just the same information a sighted person would gather in a glance. You can add them by using 'Delete & re-draft' -- the image doesn't lose context or boosts if you do that.

Misha@Joanie Yes, the church in the picture is not in #Lutzerath but that doesn't make it any less sad:
@MishaVelthuis Yes I know, it's only a few hundred meters from #lutzerath (same mine, same edge) i was on the ruins today and it broke my heart again.
axios@Joanie When it comes to the real actions to combat #climatechange , germens are on a whole different level of hypocrisy.
