Another amazing experience at the @eurliberalforum.bsky.social flagship event, Techno-Politics. Great panels, great discussion, and a fantastic organization. I had the privilege to give a small contribution focusing on how to use digital tools to improve and protect political debate online. #Europe

In my “office”, at the @europarl.europa.eu (for a day). What an amazing place 🫠 😊🤗! It is always a fantastic experience to be in the democratic house of the #EuropeanUnion.

AÍ ESTÁ! Não é Ronaldo ser ganancioso, totalmente a mando da Casa Real Saudita. Ou que o Presidente dos #USA seja um criminoso adjudicado, ordinário, ignorante, e autoritário. O PROBLEMA é a nossa inveja! Não com o Alberto. Os abismos do Alberto não são brutais. O Alberto não tem dores. #Portugal

Um dos itens na 'bucket list' de momentos históricos que vivi intensamente (à distância): "Sniper alley" em Sarajevo. Algumas paredes continuam crivadas de balas. Lembro-me do horror de ver as imagens das atrocidades dos sérvios contra os habitantes. Uma (pequena) homenagem às vítimas.

Summer2026. Stephen Miller tells ICE to do something horrific. People take to the streets. Army is deployed. Riots ensues. Trump uses the Insurrection Act. Republicans in Congress "trust the President". Elections are cancelled. @ec.europa.eu does and says nothing. #USA stops being a full democracy.
