French MEP Raphaël Glucksmann suggests that the U.S. should return the Statue of Liberty:

“We’re going to say to the Americans who have chosen to side with the tyrants: ‘Give [it back.] We gave it to you as a gift, but apparently you despise it. So it will be just fine here at home.”

The world has changed and Europe must strengthen itself. We sent 9 concrete demands to national leaders ahead of the summit on Thursday to achieve that goal.

The worst thing is that we've been saying this for years that we would be alone if there were to be a second Trump term, but leaders are just waking up now...
Selection of German headlines this morning:

“It’s now the law of the jungle”

“The former leading power of the West can no longer be relied upon.”

“Now it's up to the Europeans”

“The worst case is now the new normal”

“The free world needs a new leader”

Nearly half of the world’s habitable land is used for agriculture.

Of this global agricultural land, 80% is used for livestock, despite meat and dairy making up a much smaller share of the world's protein and calories.

Can I just say how stupid it is for a sociological institution to do this.

Sociology of all departments should consider the impacts of gender dynamics related to individuals and broader society.

It’s one of the basis of sociology!
The British Sociological Association @britsoci.bsky.social have removed replaced "gender" with "sex" in their member equality survey, and erased the "non-binary" response option entirely.

Love to see the professional body of sociology echoing Donald Trump.

Eden Knight was an incredible person who meant so much to so many of us. Her story, and the story of what evil and powerful men did to her, deserves to be heard. It demands to be heard.

So please watch this documentary. Please share it with your loved ones.

Pendant sa 1ère année, la zone basses-émissions de Bradford (GB) a fait économiser au service national de santé 37000€ par mois en soins de santé. Pas seulement pour les gens qui vivent dans la zone. La LEZ est l'outil le + efficace contre la pollution de l'air 💪 www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Bradford clean air zone saves NHS over £30,000 a month in first year
After one year of the zone, which is the second largest in England, GP visits for respiratory illnesses were down by a quarter

LGBTQIA minors make up 40% of the endangered minor runaway population. They are 120% more likely to be unhoused. They are also uniquely at risk for exploitation and trafficking.

This is breathtakingly evil.
New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

Le système de véhicules de société est une plaie pour la mobilité belge. Source d'inégalités, d'embouteillages et de SUVisation, il est nécessaire d'y mettre fin.

L'électrification du parc était un moindre mal. Il est dommage de voir cette transition ralentie en #Belgique.

What we need to do is to make Elon seem as pathetic as possible and build European alternatives for Tiktok insta Google etc. No more foreign interference.
America’s closest democratic allies might soon find that they have to choose between their alliance with the U.S. and their ability to run their own elections without the pressure of aggressive outside manipulation, Anne Applebaum argues.
Can Europe Stop Elon Musk?
He and other tech oligarchs are making it impossible to conduct free and fair elections anywhere.
