"Europa moet zsm digitaal autonoom worden. NextCloud wordt al gebruikt door defensieorganisaties. De marktenwet moet het makkelijker maken voor Europese alternatieven om de strijd aan te gaan met Big Tech. NL maakte honderden mln over naar Microsoft & Google ipv te investeren in een Europese cloud."

When a Swedish minister gets this sassy, it means that they’re furious.

And rightly so. It’s amazing that the small ones have punched so far above their weight, but inexcusable that the bigger ones haven’t followed suit. There simply are capacity limits for the small ones.
Nordic countries paying most for Ukraine ‘not sustainable,’ Swedish foreign minister says
The EU must seize Russia’s frozen assets, Maria Malmer Stenergard believes, because any other solution would be unfair to Ukraine’s biggest backers.

We don’t need another delegation of European leaders flying off to Washington to kiss Trump’s ring now. We need them to get on the train to Kyiv and stand shoulder to shoulder with Zelenskyy.

German taxpayers are handing BMW €273m to once again attempt to push hydrogen-powered cars, when battery prices have once again dropped >50% in the past ~18 month and CATL is on its 5th-gen LFP battery.

CATL, BYD et al must be laughing all the way to the bank.

Sigh.

Amazing
Tweet: @vexwerewolf Right-wingers literally straight-up admitting "it's harder to discredit the left because the left is almost always telling the truth" Scott Jennings @Lum 21h um, yes, that's really a problem Show this thread 9 paints • 12 hrs The problem with left-leaning media is they're intrinsically more strict with their propaganda to only using verifiable sources so it's really hard to poke holes in their ideology and arguments in comparison to a lot of low quality rightwing content. That makes attacking their points with fact checkers not very effective unless the fact checkers use misinformation tactics as well. In essence people on the right have to work harder and more creatively to push their agendas as statistics and studies frustratingly arent usually on our side.

Every European state that tries to convince Ukraine that they should accept a security guarantee that falls short of NATO and relies on the world of Donald Trump--should be required to leave NATO and take the exact same "guarantee".
We can then see how much worth it really has.

Europe must provide whatever it is that the Ukrainian forces need to pull off these tricks, and to fight off the invader in general. In huge amounts and for as long as it takes.

Zonder ideologische duiding en richting, is de NAVO stuurloos. We steunen Oekraïne ook juist vanuit morele overtuiging. Die overtuiging sijpelt weg bij de VS en maakt dat de NAVO simpelweg een verlengstuk van de MAGA-beweging wordt. Daarom is het tijd voor plan B.

15+ years old, but still VERY relevent — and if we had acted 15 years ago, the “better world” we’d be creating would be a LOT better & easier to reach. There are real consequences we’re just starting to see to not heeding this cartoon a lot sooner.

Even worse if we don’t heed it now. #ClimateCrisis

There's no place for institutional finance in rental markets. It's a predatory extraction machine that robs the poor and middle.

But one thing I'd add: we should stop calling these people "investors". They don't "invest". They buy up and milk existing assets. 🧵
