3rd consecutive day of the #A12 blockade. Hundreds of activists today, and more will follow the coming days.

Scientists again among A12 arrests. Why should the Dutch gov. stop its €37.5 billion subsidy to the fossil fuel industry? July 2023 was globally the hottest month on record. Many regions saw unlivable temperatures & droughts. "The evidence is clear: the time for action is now." #XR #A12 #klimaat #climateprotest #climatecrisis #StopFossielesubsidies

Scientist Rebellion are back on the A12, with @extinctionrebellionnl for a second day. We have published research, written letters, signed petitions. Direct action is our last resort to protest against the 37.5 billion euros per year of Dutch gov. subsidies to the fossil fuel industry. #XR #A12 #klimaat #climateprotest #climatecrisis #StopFossielesubsidies

That's what I still miss in our actual fight for #climateprotection : Our planet lives and deserves #respect like we do. Feeling #connected with the Earth helps on every level.
Why not counterbalance unpopular ways of protesting with other forms of action like dancing in the public sphere? For example, 2 backgrounds - one green nature, the other grey destruction area - for 2 different styles of dancing...

When you have a picture taken at a #ClimateProtest (with consent) and your face ends up in one of the big national newspapers’ website half a year later for a somewhat related opinion article 😬.

Somebody else should do something. Today's cartoon by Martyn Turner. More cartoons: https://cartoonmovement.com/search?query=&sort=created&order=desc

When a radical (sarcasm) environmental group, i.e. the #LetzteGeneration ("Last Generation"), whose single unreasonable demand (sarcasm) is to impose a speed limit on #German highways, is charged with forming a criminal organisation, hs their apartments raided by the police, their bank accounts seized, and their website shut down - there is truly no hope for meaningful #ClimateAction

Here is a DeepL translation of an article about this from taz (link to original article in German below)

"Raid against Last Generation: searches in 7 federal states -
For days it is heatedly discussed whether the last generation is a criminal organization. Now also the residents of Munich general public prosecutor's office sees this suspicion: It let seven accused ones from the climatic protest group and 15 dwellings search on Wednesday therefore in several Lands of the Federal Republic. Also two accounts were seized and a fortune arrest for funds of the group were imposed. The Last Generation website was also shut down in the course of the investigation.

The searched - 22 to 38 years old - accuse the general public prosecutor's office Munich of the formation or support of a criminal organization. For this purpose, they had initiated a fundraising campaign for the commission of crimes, which had brought in at least 1.4 million euros, according to the investigators. These funds were "predominantly also used for the commission of further crimes by the association".

Two of the defendants are also accused of trying to "sabotage" the oil pipeline from Trieste to Ingolstadt in April 2022. The searches took place in addition to Augsburg in Bavaria in Berlin, Hamburg, in the Hessian Fulda, in Magdeburg, Dresden and around Segeberg district (Schleswig-Holstein). According to the Attorney General's Office, the aim was also to find further evidence on the membership structure and financing of the Last Generation.

From investigation circles it was said that the actions of the group are to be seen as continued coercion. In addition, it was always the same people who committed crimes or called for them - even with the announcement that they would go to prison for it. All this gives rise to the suspicion of a superordinate organization and thus the formation of a criminal organization. At the same time, however, investigations are also being conducted against people who insult the Last Generation or drivers who assault them.

Nationwide searches already in December

For months, the public prosecutor's office in Neuruppin, Brandenburg, has been investigating the climate activists on suspicion of forming a criminal organization. Here, too, the group is accused of, for example, turning off valves at the refinery in Schwedt, as well as an occupation action at the Berlin airport. In December 2022, there were therefore already nationwide searches. In response, hundreds of supporters of the group had turned themselves in. The Potsdam Regional Court had recently confirmed the initial suspicion of a criminal organization.

In Berlin or Saxonia public prosecutor's offices had explained against it last, for them this initial suspicion does not lie so far. The Berlin prosecutor general's office, for example, found that the group's actions "are not directed toward the commission of sufficiently weighty criminal offenses." However, Berlin's Senator of Justice Felor Badenberg (non-partisan) recently declared that she would have the accusation re-examined.

The last generation, which protests with sticking actions on roads for a more consistent climatic policy, had recently no more actions in Bavaria organized, but their protest emphasis to Berlin shifted. Recently, however, the group had announced that they wanted to "expand their actions to the whole country again."

"In the #UK, when #climate #activists want to block a road, they sit down on it. When their fellow activists in #France want to do the same, they build a wall across one side, and set the other side on fire."

‘The End Of All', the final song of my EP 'Where The Line Is Drawn' from 2020, speaks of reaching the end of the line for humanity, our final defeat 🌑🔥 It seems certain that we will reach that point, but when? Soon! How soon? ⌛️ I believe that we can do better 💚 Do you? 🤠✌️

@YvanDutil what a unique set of research experiments! This is powerful and good news about citizen activism I didn’t expect to find shows a long tail positive result! #ClimateChange #Protest #Rally #ClimateProtest

Ridiculously high custodial sentences have been given by a judge using new sentencing laws (PCSC Act) in a JustStopOil protest case. Three years in prison for blocking a road for a day?! This is clearly the establishment system trying to set precedent in peaceful protest cases and to deter others from further dissent! https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/just-stop-oil-protesters-who-29777094 #Protest #Dissent #DirectAction #FightBack #JustStopOil #ClimateActivism #ClimateProtest #ClimateAction #FightTheEstablishment

“Official travel partner of…”
“Official clothing partner of…”
“Official drinks partner of…”

So is it now “official protest partner of…”, or <FatTony>”it would be a real shame if someone were to accidentally protest your event”<FatTony>

Isn’t it most effed up that climate protestors are called “terrorists” by some?

What is the terror those protestors are spreading?
Getting to/from work an hour late?
Interrupting your favorite sport?

None of this is harming you at all. You shouldn’t be terrified of that.

During the #Suffragette movement (after 1910), women would break windows to protest voting restrictions. Many of them used a small toffee hammer that they kept hidden inside their muffs and inside special discrete pockets they had sewn into their skirts. They would also use such pockets to hide rocks to throw at policemen.

However (and this is most relevant here), this #activism failed to achieve their goals, and in fact alienated public support for their cause, setting the movement back considerably.

“Deanna "Violet" Coco was last year handed a 15-month sentence with a non-parole period of eight months by a magistrate in the Local Court …

“During a successful appeal, District Court Judge Mark Williams today rejected the Crown's suggestion Ms Coco was a "danger to the community" due to her record of protest actions.

“He set aside the sentence and placed Ms Coco on a 12-month conditional release order, while convictions for two of her charges will remain.”
