vicgrinberg, Get into the car in the morning and drive through France into Belgium on the way to the Netherlands. And the only sign of change of country is a sign along the road that I almost missed. Nobody checked our (German) IDs and we did not need a passport.
Living in the #EU, we tend to take it for granted that we can easily cross borders. But it's an wonder, an achievement, something worth fighting for.

Whew! <wipes worried sweat from brow> That's a relief because most articles I read said the outcome would be far right gaining control.
Lazarou, @GottaLaff the Oligarch Media will be pushing the notion that Fascism is ascendant and inevitable.
The fight is very much still on, despite their bias

rysiek, More than twelve years ago I was invited by @LaQuadrature to come to the Europarlament to help stop ACTA:
https://rys.io/en/65.htmlThis was the first time I got a chance to directly talk to MEPs to try change their minds on an issue I cared deeply about. It was not the last.
I've done a lot of activism, on both EU and national level. My experience with the European Parliament remains the best.
It really matters who we send there. And we do have a say on that.
Go vote. 🇪🇺
AdamBishop, 🇪🇺 Today, if you are EU citizen, please go out to vote. Vote for yourself, vote for the community, and please go out and vote for us "Europeans" disenfranchised by Brexit 🙏

christianschwaegerl, German Back in November 2023, I wrote about the looming backlash in environmental politics in the EU for Yale E360. Now the Union and its parties are entering the decisive phase of this struggle, both with the ongoing elections, which will result in a new parliament and commission, and with the imminent decision of the Council of member states about the #NatureRestorationLaw https://e360.yale.edu/features/europe-environment-backlash #EU #Euelection #Europe #climate
lil_meow_meow, German That the German Fidesz started openly denying the climate crisis by fighting the Green Deal - which falls short on every single measure anyway - was visible from space as soon as they lost the GE in 2021.
christianschwaegerl, Here‘s the state of affairs regarding #NatureRestorationLaw in German https://www.riffreporter.de/de/umwelt/renaturierungsgesetz-eu-biodiversitaet-naturschutz-umweltpolitik
tagesschau, German Ist die Europäische Union undemokratisch?

Nonilex, #MAGA marks #DDay anniversary w/vote to defund #NATO
#Trump's #AmericaFirst movement could lead… #Europe to seek #nuclear weapons
Today is the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landing at #Normandy, #France, where ~160k #Allied troops pulled off the largest invasion by sea in history. From that point on #America was in charge of #AlliedForces & it was the beginning of the end of #WWII
Nonilex, Donald #Trump had no idea about the #historical significance of the term "#AmericaFirst" when he first started saying it, believing erroneously that he'd thought up the slogan himself even though he'd no doubt heard it somewhere during his 77 yrs. Before the US entered the war the #AmericaFirstCommittee was the name of the #RightWing #isolationist movement & many of its members also happened to be just a little bit taken w/that #strongman fella from Germany.
iuculano, My take is a little different, @Nonilex
#DonaldTrump knew EXACTLY what the historical significance of the term "#AmericaFirst" was the moment he started saying it, knowing FULL WELL the #AmericaFirstCommittee was the name of the #RightWing #isolationist movement. He is one of those that happen to be more than just a little bit taken w/ that #strongman fella from Germany.
mina, Many people don't care to vote in European elections, because they think, it doesn't matter, but this is far from true.
European laws, be it on environmental or social standards, consumer protections, privacy and more affect every person in the #EU (and to a degree: beyond) and the parliament, our directly elected representatives, plays a central role in the institutional process.
Please go and vote! Fascists and "fascists with some manners" (conservatives) will!

gabrielesvelto, Depending on which #EU country you are in, the #elections have started, or will start very soon. I can't stress how important they are. Not only because we're facing off with far-right groups funded and propped by foreign regimes, but also because our future's at stake and yet our share of the vote is small.
At 43, I don't consider myself young anymore, I'm a grown ass adult, and yet there's more electors in the EU who are older than me than those who are younger than me.
gabrielesvelto, Regardless of their political affiliation those people don't necessarily have the same priorities that I have, and certainly don't have the same priorities of people in their 20s. But it's our future they're deciding about, and our children's future.
So if you're young you must go and vote, or your future will be decided by people who'd rather keep driving a hulking SUV than preventing mass extinction and widespread misery.
tomhengl, @gabrielesvelto how grotesque is this: all those xenophobic, genetic-race-nationalists, anti-EU political movements applying for EU parlament (so they can destroy it from inside?). Because the biggest problems of our continent is: immigration (asylum seekers), islam and low fertility? It reveals how deeply conservative and primitive European continent is. Anyway, European Union is a noble project, maybe the best thing that happened since the Renaissance.
KimPerales, Many people in Europe are better informed about US politics than Americans. They understand the peril of 2nd term for TFG. NATO alliances would be shattered, much of Ukraine -handed over to Putin...

skykiss, As expected, the House Reps who want defund #NATO include much of the pack who supported Trump's coup in 2020. Nearly half the sitting Reps with Congressional Insurrection Index rankings voted today to destroy our alliances (colored in ss below, which shows post-Jan 6 scores).
skykiss, I found the nazis in our congress.
darnell, It is easy to dismiss #MarjorieTaylorGreene as crazy, but this crazy lady has tremendous influence within the #GOP (which is scary).
She wants the #UnitedStates 🇺🇸 out of #NATO, & if #DonaldTrump is re-elected, you will have numerous #Republicans backing an updated version of this bill.

tine_schreibt, German Die #AfD und andere #rechte Parteien in der #EU würden gern #Abtreibung verbieten. Denn #schwanger und #barfuß mögen #Nazis ihre #Frauen* am liebsten.

hanse_mina, #Nato is developing multiple “land corridors” to rush #US troops and armour to the front lines in the event of a major European ground war with #Russia.
American soldiers would land at one of five ports and be channelled along pre-planned logistical routes to confront a possible attack by #Moscow.

Lazarou, @hanse_mina rather than deal with Climate Change, Russia is forcing us to deal with them instead, I will curse that nation forever...
VikingChieftain, The reduction of Russia's CO2 emissions has been largely driven by Ukraine.
