Never thought my first day as a Policy Officer in Brussels would start with hands-on garden work in Austria — but here we are. So rewarding to see tangible results (a rare treat in everyday EU politics, haha). Excited to join @arche-noah.bsky.social & advocate for seed diversity!

Binnen weniger Tage wird also Mahrer von den Ultrarechten in der ÖVP abmontiert, wird ein Babler-Sturz prophezeit und werden Kern-Comeback-Fantasien geschürt. Cui bono, my friends? Wollen wirklich alle krisengeilen vermögenssteuerbefreiten Medienzampanos in diesem Land einen rechtsextremen Kanzler?

Kopenhagen nicht mehr sozialdemokratisch ist wie Wien nicht mehr sozialdemokratisch.

Ich habe es von Anfang an gesagt und mir den Mund fusselig geredet: der dänische Weg ist nicht nur inhaltlich, sondern vor allem strategisch falsch.
Es war klar, dass es so kommt.
The Danish party that inspired Labour’s hardline immigration policy is on course to lose Copenhagen for the first time in more than a hundred years.

Among the reasons cited: fatigue and frustration with its hardline immigration policy.
Centre-left tipped to lose Copenhagen for first time in electoral history

Democracy shouldn’t buffer. The European Parliament’s plenary video player is so unusable it ends up being antidemocratic.

France's recognition of Palestinian statehood is irrelevant for the time being. We need to focus on the suffering in Gaza, the brutal rhetoric of Israeli leaders, the passivity of the West. That's what matters. Not whether France is the 149th (!) state recognising Palestine.

Climate mitigation and adaptation measures are not costs. They are investments.

The true costs occur when mitigation fails and adaptation is too slow so we suffer from continually worsening extreme weather events like heatwaves and floods.

Invest now to reduce costs in future.
