If EU governments were serious about ending the abuse of spyware, they could simply adopt binding EU legislation, as recommended by @europarl.europa.eu #PEGA. The abuse of spyware is ongoing in the EU, and past abuse has been covered up. With tacit agreement of ALL national governments.

On the subject of people traveling to the US right about now: Fuck, if I were from another country and I didn't need to come, I sure as hell wouldn't, the current administration has made it clear traveling here isn't safe, and why not take them at their word, there's a whole world to visit

Germany did destroy itself almost a century ago. It wasn’t because it took in too many migrants. It was because it fell for arguments uncomfortably close to Vance’s.

Δεν πείσαμε σημαίνει έστω προσπαθήσαμε. Όταν κορυφαίος υπουργός σου λέει ότι «δεν μπορείς να πεις ότι δεν είναι ασφαλή γιατί δεν θα μπαίνει κόσμος», λες και κύρια ευθύνη ενός κράτους είναι τα έσοδα μιας εταιρείας, δεν έχεις προσπαθήσει και πολύ μάλλον.

Ukraine is Europe! We stand by Ukraine. We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor. Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

Remember: the televised punishment & humiliation meted out to Zelensky just now could be done to any NATO ally facing similar aggression. The sense of sneering hostility & contempt by Trump & Vance isn’t specific to Ukraine.

Next year, the EU will require cars to have buttons & dials -- not just touchscreens -- to get a top safety rating. This is a great move. Drivers can fiddle with knobs & buttons without taking their eyes off the road, but they can't do that with touchscreens. (Even better: Tesla will hate this)

The EU wasn’t formed to screw anyone. Quite the opposite. It was formed to maintain peace, to build respect among our nations, to create free and fair trade, and to strengthen our transatlantic friendship. As simple as that. 🇪🇺🇺🇸

If we look at the numbers,it’s obvious how enormous the contribution of the EU to Ukraine’s defense has been.To say that the EU helps Ukraine less than the USA is simply untrue The total aid allocated by Europe to Ukraine over the past 3 years surpasses the US– nearing almost €140 billion,—IFW

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

He's not a "kid." He's an adult, with an important govt job. The posts weren't "stupid." They were hatefully racist. His life isn't "ruined." He lost a job. Holding a govt employee accountable is not a "reward" for a journalist. The reporter doesn't get a cookie.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO
