Ride the bus. Take the train. Do your part. But make Big Oil do theirs. Yes, individual choices matter. The UN says switching from cars to public transport can cut an individual’s emissions significantly.

Historic droughts. Rivers too low to sail. Crops failing. Forests burning. 🌍 While this happens, Big Tech is racing to build ever-bigger data centres. Europe is racing along, with little talk about the real cost to our bills, our water and our communities.

Wildfires are forcing people from their homes across Europe, destroying forests, livelihoods and communities. And these disasters are no longer rare. Climate change is making wildfires more intense, while floods and extreme heat are putting more people at risk too.

Victory! 🐙💙 Together we stopped Nueva Pescanova's octopus farm in the Canary Islands. The project is dead. Next stop: banning octopus farming for good: go.wemove.eu/ban-octopus-...

Last week, the European Parliament has voted to move the digital euro forward. Europe is now one step closer to giving people another way of paying digitally - one not controlled by private banks or US credit card giants like Mastercard.

No one trying to protect the ocean should end up polluting it without knowing. Most of us try to make better choices when we shop. But if companies can slap "reef safe" on a sunscreen bottle without proving it, how are consumers supposed to know what's actually better for marine life?

Gianni Infantino gave Donald Trump a made-up FIFA Peace Prize. He repeatedly embraced Trump’s political agenda. And after Trump called him about a red card shown to a US player, the suspension was lifted. FIFA says Infantino did not influence the decision. Of course.

Too hot to work should not be normal. As we face another summer of dangerous heat, millions of workers are still left without a clear legal maximum workplace temperature. Right now, there is no maximum temperature for workplaces in the UK and large parts of the EU.

On Monday, EU foreign ministers will decide whether to keep rewarding Israel with trade or start imposing consequences. Journalists’ questions can shape what ministers are forced to answer. We’ve listed key questions that deserve answers. Choose one, or write your own, and comment it.

What needs to happen before we realise how dangerous pesticides can be? Parents like Isabelle, Florence and Franck came to Brussels to tell MEPs what happened to their families after years of pesticide spraying near their homes.

According to Politico Europe, staff at the European Commission’s HQ were told the air-cooling system would be shut down on floors 1 to 7 during the Brussels heatwave.

Across Europe, thousands of huge data centres are being planned and built. They need enormous amounts of electricity and water to run, and without strong rules, they could put even more pressure on our grids, our climate, and our bills.

The EU is negotiating a new “Enhanced Border Security Partnership” with the US to keep visa-free travel to the US. The price? Opening the door to access to national databases, including biometric data like fingerprints and facial images.

Volkswagen built its reputation making cars. Now it could help build parts linked to Israel’s war machine. Volkswagen is in talks over a deal that could see its Osnabrück factory used to produce components for Israel’s Iron Dome system. The deal is not final yet.

Yesterday, we asked you to leave a birthday message for Kaja Kallas. Hundreds of you did. Some asked her to speak up for Gaza. Others asked her to keep landmines banned. Many asked her to choose courage over silence. So we turned your messages into a birthday card. Today, we're sending it.

Yesterday, we lit up Brussels with a message that our EU leaders, meeting today to discuss our digital future, can’t ignore: FIGHT FOR US, NOT FOR TRUMP'S BILLIONAIRES. Sign the petition: go.wemove.eu/FightForUS_B...

Today, they voted to bring ICE-style deportation politics to Europe. They voted for a law that will allow children to be detained. And then they celebrated by chanting: "Send them back." A chant about human beings. About families. About children.

🎂 Tomorrow is Kaja Kallas' birthday. @kajakallas.bsky.social is one of the most influential people in European politics. As the EU's top diplomat, she helps shape Europe's response to some of the most urgent questions facing our continent.

Right now, someone could read your messages, watch through your camera or track you. All without you knowing. This isn't science fiction. Across Europe, powerful spyware has been used against journalists, activists and people who dared to challenge those in power.

173 major companies and trade associations declared €382 million in annual EU lobbying spend, with Big Tech, banking, energy, chemicals and agri-business at the top. This matters because lobbying shapes the rules that affect our data, food, health, environment, jobs and rights.

In the occupied West Bank, Israeli settlers are escalating attacks against Palestinians, burning crops, destroying property and driving families from their homes. Now even European governments are running out of excuses. France says more sanctions against Israeli settlers could be coming. Good.

Massive Attack turned the warning into a performance. Now we need to turn it into pressure. Palantir, a US spy-tech company tied to wars and mass surveillance, is quietly worming its way into our hospitals, our police, and our public services.

Help the EU buy landmines. Don’t worry, they won’t ask you first. They’ll just call it “security” and pay for it with your taxes. This year, Croatia was finally declared mine-free after spending nearly 30 years clearing landmines left behind by war. And now Europe risks going backwards.

Parts of Europe are being hit by an unusually early heatwave, with record-breaking May temperatures reported in the UK, France and Spain. One reason is a heat dome, a weather pattern where high pressure traps hot air over an area, like a lid on a pot.

Volkswagen was born under Nazi Germany and became part of its war machine. Now, one of its factories could start producing weapons for Israel.

Your phone breaks. You buy another. Companies profit. You pay. It’s not your fault - it’s by design. Across Europe, products are made to be replaced, not to last. TVs slow down. Vacuum cleaners break. Earbuds suddenly fail. And every time, we’re pushed to buy again.

Elon Musk doesn’t just want to own the platform. He wants to fight the rules meant to protect us from it. France is now investigating X over alleged algorithm abuse, data fraud, deepfakes and AI harms.

Want to protect the people you love? Read this 👇 Right now, a little-known EU agency is working behind closed doors, shaping the rules that will decide whether toxic “forever chemicals” stay in our everyday products… or are finally banned.

Palantir, the US surveillance company that builds killer robots and tools used by ICE to deport people, just launched a 239 dollar chore coat. It already sold out. They called it "not political." But the chore coat has a history.

If Trump talks like this on camera, imagine what he’s saying behind closed doors. Trump and Netanyahu’s attacks on Iran are not just another foreign policy headline. They risk dragging millions of people into a wider war, while European leaders hesitate, calculate, and look away.
