Enshitification
People who live in the West and praise horrific anti-Western regimes that brutalise their own people, no matter if far-right or far-left, do so because they want to brutalise you. Always remember that.
Big day for European democracy. A chance to stand up for womenβs access to safe abortion.
My Voice My Choice is the most successful Citizensβ Initiative yet: 1.2 million signed and countless volunteers made it happen.

Over to you, Commission. Show Europeans that their voices are heard!
Hey yall this is your chance to show the trans community you really are an ally and you're not just saying it for brownie points!!
-Do not support ANY of this
-JK Rowling has said on numerous occasions that her income goes DIRECTLY into anti-trans legislation in the UK
-Seriously. NONE. Of it.
Donald Trump sends out Valentineβs Day cards with a heart around Greenland.
That kind of emotional manipulation should raise a lot of red and white flags.

De Belgische democratie is aan vernieuwing toe. Wees erbij en bespreek samen hoe het beter kan!
We are opening an investigation into Grok because we believe that X may have breached the DSA.
We have seen antisemitic content, non-consensual deepfakes of women, and child sexual abuse material.
In Europe, no company will make money by violating our fundamental rights.

The EU should urgently reconsider its law enforcement cooperation with DHS, FBI, DOJ. No more data sharing, no more access to EU data bases, no more extraditions until respect for the law and fundamental rights has been restored.
Greenland, weβre with you! πͺπΊ π¬π±
Trump destroying NATO faster than Russia could dream of.
Today, citizens answered louder than threats.
In Copenhagen, the Greenlandic community and many Danes marched together. In Nuuk, Greenland itself sent an even stronger signal.
Trump is niets anders dan een imperialistisch roofdier dat chanteert, bedreigt en neemt. Een duidelijke en verenigde tegenreactie van Europa is nodig. Nu niet meer vanuit angst maar vanuit kracht.
Met dreiging uit het oosten en het westen is het hoogste tijd voor een Verenigde Staten van EuropaπͺπΊ
Greenland update:
πΉTrump threatens tariffs on countries that don't support Greenland takeover
πΉThe EU is preparing a response that includes evicting the US from EU bases and cutting trade ties
πΉCanada warns Trump that Greenland ownership isn't his decision
Unbelievable.π€―
Wat doen we als de VS Groenland willen aanvallen en inlijven?
We zorgen dat de kosten die de VS betaalt voor het innemen van Groenland, hoger zijn dan de potentiΓ«le baten.
Ik schreef een opiniestuk voor @bnr.nl over hoe we onze Europese kracht in moeten zetten om dit scenario te voorkomen.
Here is the alternative text (alt text) for the image, designed to be descriptive and accessible: Alt Text: A promotional graphic for the Portuguese newspaper Expresso and the political party Volt. At the top, the Expresso logo is displayed in white text on a blue background. Below, a photo features Andi Shehu (Volt Italia) and InΓͺs Bravo Figueiredo (Volt Portugal) smiling against a white background. Under their photo, a large quote on a purple background reads: βWe continue to act as if the U.S. is always the adult in the room. These are old reflexes of transatlantic loyalty which are rapidly becoming dangerous.β At the bottom, there is a green button that says βREAD THE FULL ARTICLEβ and the Volt party logo.
"We must learn to live in a world where the U.S. is drifting toward ideological alignment with autocracies like China and Russia."

After having slept through all of the wake up calls so far, maybe this one will jolt Europe out of its state of denial? Instead of wasting time on bootlicking, Europe needs to turbo boost its integration and de-risk from the US asap.
The Polish government has asked the EU to take action against TikTok over a series of videos showing AI-generated young women calling for Poland to leave the EU.
"There is no doubt this is Russian disinformation," says the government's spokesman.

The Kyiv Independent has a detailed read out of European leaders' call with President Zelenskyy in the "Berlin format" on 27th December.
On the topic of Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, Danish PM Mette Frederiksen said "Volodymyr β please be careful. For your sake and for the sake of Europe."
Yes in Belgium
Our democracy is under attack. We have to defend it!

It is unacceptable that Russian espionage exists within the EU, and even more so that we donβt get to the bottom of it. We must secure the right of inquiry to address for the European Parliament to investigate interferences in our democracy.
Russian invasion of Ukraine is the logical consequence of the unpunished invasion of Georgia.
Russian βinvasion of Europe will be the inevitable result of Impunity in Ukraine, if allowed.
D-Day for Europe to shore up Ukraine funding.
As EU leaders huddle in Brussels, Stephen Paduano and I analyse the reparations loan in a new piece.
This is not only a "There Is No Alternative" (TINA) momentβbut the financial and legal risks are also manageable.

BEFORE TOMORROW
It would be good if this book would be read before tomorrow on both sides of Atlantic!
The Convention establishing the International Compensation Commission for Ukraine was signed in The Hague today.
The international mechanism for securing reparations for Ukraine consists of three components:
- Register of Damages (RD4U) β to document and catalogue
Hardly a surprise. Any βagreementβ with Trump is just the start of attempts to extort more, as his various tariffs on Canada & Mexico have shown. In that respect, his approach to negotiations is similar to Putinβs. Deals are essentially worthless.
These are the guys who keep waving the English flag and claiming to be patriots.
Yet theyβd side with their countryβs enemy, Russia, in a war
79% of Europeans support a common defence policy. Thatβs a strong, united call for a safer, more sovereign Europe. In a world of growing threats, we need less fragmentation and more cooperation. A true European Defence Union is not a dream β itβs a democratic demand.

the current administrationβs planπ€‘
Key points from President Zelenskyy's press conference today:
-The U.S. peace plan has been reduced to 20 points. The United States seeks compromises, but none exist when it comes to territory
- Ukraine has no rightβunder its Constitution, international law, or moral lawβto surrender territory
