“‘Surely it is a violation of the sovereignty of Italy for Germany to transport vast numbers of illegal #immigrants to Italian soil?‘ [Musk] went on. Has invasion vibes . . . ‘“ Only 5-10% of migrants are brought to Italy by NGOs but, on the point of principle - German-funded NGOs bringing #migrants to Italy, if #Italy lets them go on to #Germany, Germany insists on sending them back under Dublin agreement - Musk‘s point on #migration is 100% valid.

“Admitting the one-time breadbasket of the Soviet Union to the EU’s single market would make #Ukraine the biggest beneficiary of the EU’s agricultural subsidies, forcing an overhaul of the Common Agricultural Policy. Then there are bigger questions including over the costs of reconstruction, regional aid and the need to reform the EU’s internal processes.

In all of these debates, the #EU's existing member states stand to lose power and money to Ukraine.“ https://www.politico.eu/article/ukraine-grain-poland-hungary-slovakia-diplomacy-world-trade-organisation-european-union-sue/

“UK MP Angela Eagle, who was a joint winner of the 1976 British Girls' Under-18 #chess championship, said: ‘There is no physical advantage in chess unless you believe men are inherently more able to play than women - I spent my chess career being told women's brains were smaller than men's and we shouldn't even be playing. This ban on [#trans players] is ridiculous and offensive to women’.” https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-66538328

“[T]he main threat to women comes overwhelmingly from men, not from #trans women, who should not be penalised for the actions of predatory men. As a result, trans women and non-binary people are being excluded from single-sex spaces, putting them at a greatly increased risk of violence.

#Transgender people are far more likely to be survivors of sexual assault than perpetrators.” https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jun/18/there-is-so-much-more-for-us-to-worry-about-than-men-masquerading-as-women-to-access-single-sex-spaces

#Finland #education Kids are taught #criticalthinking from an early age to help resist the flood of #fakenews and #conspiracytheories: “In art classes, pupils analyse images from advertising and discuss deep-fake videos. In history, they compare Allied and Nazi wartime propaganda. In maths, they discuss the use of algorithms and abuse of statistics. In language lessons, they discover how words can be manipulated, how they can mislead and be used to sow division.“ https://liveapp.inews.co.uk/2023/05/24/how-finnish-schools-teach-every-child-to-spot-fake-news-and-what-the-uk-could-learn/content.html
