Indeed. I started a personal project to move away from all US corporate tech as much as possible. It's a pain for an individual; much, much harder for organizations, let alone governments. Lots of work to be done!

Hats off to Keir Starmer for meeting the moment. Message to all leaders hearing the “wake up call for Europe”—when you say this, you create much-needed leverage to make demands of the Trump White House, like enablers and continued military aid for Ukraine.

Ich fand und finde nicht alle Interpretationen von @timothysnyder.bsky.social plausibel, aber das trifft es schon sehr gut. Perspektiven aus den baltischen Ländern, Moldau und Polen sind jetzt besonders bedeutend.

Ich sehe eine sehr große Nachfrage nach EU-Fahnen kommen. Ich habe eine große, schön weithin sichtbare Fläche in Wien dafür. Wenn das kommt, lasse ich eine riesige EU-Fahne anfertigen und hänge sie dort auf.

This, so hard. As a historian, I cannot emphasize enough how people have taken for granted peace and rights that millions died to achieve - in wars, in labor strikes, in hunger strikes, in marches, in social movements…and we’re watching that sail away because people were never educated enough on WHY

Sorry, das wird ein bisschen länger, weil ich den Eindruck habe, viele begreifen die Dimension der Bedrohung noch immer nicht: Es geht bei einer von Rechtsextremisten (und korruptionsanfälligen Parteien) geführten Regierung nicht bloß um einen reaktionären Backlash, der... 1/

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Our beloved Canada is under threat. The threat comes from the president of the US—a convicted felon and known predator. But the threat is also being driven by the hate algorithms of oligarchs like Elon Musk….

"A new constitutional convention." Didn't have that in the books. Seems utterly plausible to me. And potentially utterly devastating as well. What tragedies will befall the world these next four years.
