Global food prices just hit their highest level since 2023 (source: FAO).

Big Ag is turning that shock into a cash grab, using “food security” fears to demand deregulation and subsidies.

It's time to back local, ecological farming that actually keeps food affordable for people.

Es ist uns eine Ehre: HateAid wird heute mit dem Günter-Wallraff-Preis ausgezeichnet! Ein starkes Zeichen dafür, dass Pressefreiheit auch im Netz gegen Gewalt und Desinformation verteidigt werden muss. Und ein Reminder, dass wir alle auf freie Berichterstattung von Journalist*innen angewiesen sind.

Ihr könnt die Preisverleihung im Rahmen des 10. Kölner Forums für Journalismuskritik live im Stream von Deutschlandfunk verfolgen: https://www.deutschlandfunk.de/forum-journalismuskritik-jubilaeumsausgabe-2026-102.html

What do electric buses do at night? They help balance the grid.

First Bus in Glasgow: "By flexing when buses are charged, the depots can increase demand at times when there is excess renewable energy on the system, particularly wind power in Scotland, and reduce demand during peak periods. This helps reduce the need to curtail renewable generation and supports a more efficient, flexible energy network."

When the #GlobalSumudFlotilla was intercepted in international waters, leaving ships disabled, people left adrift and hundreds detained, our crew stepped up.

While our friends at Open Arms returned to open sea to rescue those left adrift, the Greenpeace Ships crew supported the remaining ships, repaired engines and solar panels, restored communication lines, and ensured medics have what they need to keep going.

This is what movement solidarity looks like: taking care of each other.

Together we demand:

🔴​ The immediate and safe return of Saif and Thiago.

🔴​ Safe passage for the Global Sumud Flotilla.

🔴​ An end to the illegal siege of Gaza.

Stand with us. Demand diplomatic pressure on Israel from your government today.

Outraged by Russian strikes across #Ukraine yesterday and ongoing, which killed at least 27 and injured over 100 civilians in Zaporizhzha, Kramatorsk, Dnipro and other cities. My thoughts are with the victims. This suffering must stop and perpetrators be held criminally accountable.
Es gibt Städte, in denen sterben keine Menschen mehr im Straßenverkehr. Und es gibt Berlin.
Regelmäßig halten wir Mahnwachen für getötete Fußgänger*innen und Radfahrer*innen. 🖤
Wir wollen, dass sich das endlich ändert! Möglich ist es.

Finnland hat kaum Verkehrstote, Deutschland mehr als sieben pro Tag. Kann man daraus lernen?

Ein Jahr lang keine Verkehrstoten in Helsinki. Sind Tempo 30, harte Strafen für Raser und starke Infrastruktur die Lösung auch in Deutschland?

Google Chrome 'silently' downloads 4GB AI model to your device without permission, report claims — researcher says practice may violate EU law, waste thousands of kilowatts of energy

The integration would even reinstall itself if removed
