R to @PES_CoR: This is a breach of the #subsidiarity principle, as enshrined in the Lisbon Treaty.

The @PES_CoR cannot remain passive without using all instruments to defend this principle.

#Subsidiarity without #solidarity is fragmentation: a thousand instances each guarding their own place, with no shared obligation or collaboration, with no place to maintain the commons that is the network itself. This is exactly what we see in the fediverse right now: sure there are a lot of servers, but the #collaboration between instances on things like #moderation is virtually nonexistent.”

FR#164 – The Pope on Defederation

This week, the Catholic Church wrote one of the better diagnoses of why decentralised social networks keep struggling.

Critical: DC4EU strengthens existing governance, doesn't bypass it.

DG-EAC maintains responsibility for primary, secondary, and tertiary education credential schemas. DG-EMPL oversees VET and adult education. National authorities retain competency within their jurisdictions.

The multi-level governance approach ensures European-level coordination for interoperability whilst respecting subsidiarity principles established in founding treaties.

A government "shutdown" an example of the failure of representative democracy. We are witnessing the unravelling, globally, of domination systems. The majority of us are already developing what could come next.   The challenge is identifying how we can work together we can then exit our silos, organisational & individual, and work together in developing a new ecological (planetary)
civilisation. It will happen, we can influence how it comes about through #unityindiversity & planetary citizenship.
If you have a better idea I'd like to hear. We spend too much time glancing at problems we need to examin possible solutions.

"California doesn’t wait for Washington anymore. Neither does New York. Or Illinois. They’re building functioning governmental systems that operate independently of federal authority."

It's good to see states using their own powers, rather than relying on Washington, DC. Shame it's a result of the foolish and often thuggish policies of the second Trump Administration.

It’s Time for Americans to Start Talking About “Soft Secession”

Blue states are finally learning what red states have known all along: you don’t need federal permission to govern.

The Existentialist Republic
Deudney (2007: Ch. 6) rejects contentions that a world government must be built on a hierarchical model, sword at the ready to enforce global peace. Instead, and turning in part to the US founding for his model he posits a system of semi-autonomous republics coexisting within an overarching federal structure, with extensive separation of coercive and other powers at various levels of government.

Link in this post to Manchester Evening News coverage of the #DevolutionWhitePaper and Burnham's comments.
At least this will correct some of the incoherence of the present multiple arrangements but the move to shire unitaries is big mistake IMO.

In drug development, Pharma bankrolls the trial scientists, medical journal, regulator, doctors - & every minor stage in between.

This ‘end-to-end narrative containment’ is the business-politics-media model that also underpins ocean pollution, market crashes & permanent #war.

We don't get out of any of those things without reforming #governance.

There is much wisdom in the Principle of Subsidiarity. See, e.g., Thomas C. Behr, #SocialJustice and #Subsidiarity. This is a key principle of the social doctrine of the Catholic Church. #ConcordianEconomics offers the opportunity of an automatic application of this principle
