If only politicians read some political science. Or newspapers.
After more than 10 years of “the Danish Model”, nativism is hegemonic in the country, the far right polls near level highs again, and the Social Democrats lost Copenhagen and poll at historic low.

European Social Democrats should look at the facts, not the myths!

To be noted that this statement seems illegal under EU law. The Presidents of Commission and European Council can speak only in EU name, presenting the position approved by the Council (i.e.Member States). And we can safely assume this statement was never approved.
If this is the public statement then imagine what was being said in private channels. The drafting of this is so careful, the signatures so universal, you don’t have to be a diplomat to read between the lines.

When anyone asks me for a fast example of how global neoliberalism is structurally racist, I share Larry Summers’ famous memo describing Africa as “under polluted” and of “little marginal utility” as grounds for shipping toxic waste to the continent

Corporations are incompatible with a society that values humanity, the marginal tax rate on income over $500k should be 90%, and tax should be levied on total wealth over $1 million

These taxes should be used to fund health, education, public transport, and other pro-social public services
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Historic. Commentators making parallels with early 1930s accommodation with Nazis. Long story short: conservatives combine with far right and neofascists to pass legislation. The vote was about business supply chains but will be remembered as another waypoint on the EU's lurch rightwards.

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.

Frontex confirme que les garde-côtes tunisiens chassent les boat-people jusque dans les eaux libyennes pour les
brutaliser. L'agence européenne paraît désapprouver ces violences, alors qu'elle en est la principale bénéficiaire : les garde-côtes🇹🇳 sont des supplétifs de l'UE financés par l'UE.
#Frontex bestätigt, dass die "Küstenwache" aus #Tunesien mit drei Patrouillenschiffen Migrant*innen bis in Libyens SAR-Zone jagt, ihr Boot mit äußerst gefährlichen Manövern stoppt, die Insassen misshandelt.
Die Truppe und ihr #MRCC werden von der EU unterstützt.

Relying on LLMs to get your diploma and is similar to forging PhD research for boosting your political career in Germany

You think it creates shortcuts and notability for getting the top job. But as you are only interested in the CV line, you don't learn anything.

And one day, you are exposed.

Le scuole non sono un talk show dove viene imposto un pluralismo d'accatto perché se parla uno deve parlare anche un altro. Dov'è finita l'autonomia scolastica? Perché docenti e dirigenti non si ribellano ai diktat di un ministro reazionario?

✊ From the late 19th century, socialist movements adopted the raised fist as a symbol of unity and strength.

One of the first depictions was by Hungarian artist Mihály Biró in 1912. His image of a fist emerging from factories toward parliament in Budapest visualised the power of collective action.

Gabriele Nunziati, cronista a Bruxelles, ha perso il lavoro per una domanda su Israele. La portavoce della Commissione l’aveva definita «interessante». L’agenzia Nova l’ha giudicata «sbagliata» e ha interrotto la collaborazione.
Fare domande oggi è rischio.
