This one is making the rounds.

But after a tense 🇪🇺 vs 🇺🇸 week it is needed.

Healthier, less poor, fairer, more equitable, safer.

🇪🇺 not perfect. But pretty good!

It’s time to seriously consider Free Cascadia or even a West coast exit. Not as something to happen right now but as a rallying point and as a nuclear option if things continue in the current direction. 30 years from now, we can’t still be attached to a fascist US.

Much respect to Mark Carney. His logic of risk mitigation applies to anti-Trump movements/people/areas within the US too. As much as possible, blue states need to ally themselves with Carney’s group of middle powers against the US federal government.

Today, the conservatives (EPP) passed a major piece of EU legislation with the far-right groups in the EU Parliament, marking the breakdown of the cordon sanitaire. The EPP, under Weber, has decided to sacrifice long-term principles and stability for short-term political gains.

This is going to get spun as a "thermostatic shift" chart, but it should be properly interpreted as a "information environment is broken" chart.

In 2024, voters didn't know what Trump would do, and so they shifted towards him based on vibes. Now they are finding out, and they hate it.
Nearly every county in Virginia has shifted blue in a massive statement against Donald Trump.

Getting noticed in France, I guess. As someone originally from the west coast, though, I will enjoy when I don’t have to think much about New York again.
Il est né en Ouganda, il est musulman, il est écologiste et authentiquement de gauche.

Et à 34 ans, Zohran Mamdani a défait le vieil establishment démocrate pour devenir le nouveau maire de New York.

Le rêve américain est finalement toujours vivant.

I hope we get enough of this kind of thing tonight to shut down the "Maybe we need to be a little more anti-trans, a little more sexist,a little more racist" crowd.
Huh. Muslim woman wins easily over white man for Virginia lieutenant governor.

This is definitely not original to me, but it occurs to me that a lot of the health scares and alternative medicine conspiracy theories indicates that many people are concerned about pollution and ’chemicals’ in their food/water And skeptical of corporations.

Also, I see the European Greens are trying to put a spotlight on the upcoming COP30 climate change conference. I admit to not really following those, but I’m curious to see if the attention means people start following this again.

For a better, more equal, and more democratic future, corporations need to be held accountable in European (and hopefully one day, American) courts for environmental and labor violations in their supply chains.

And I see this week, the European Socialists are sounding the alarm again on how counterproductive the weakening of corporate sustainability and accountability rules are essential.

Linking public service deprivation to immigration rather than to cuts & administrative burdens is a POLITICAL CHOICE

My research shows that “immigrants cutting the cue" framing was key part of far right’s rise in Europe 👇🏽

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.
