German assembly was a great success. Thanks to Frankfurt and great to meet so many nice people. Will try to spread the love and gain some momentum for the trinity of communications (I just made that up): mastodon, diem cafe and diem-connect. also, exepct some transparency and possibility to colaborate on policy papers. whooooooooooooooooooooo

“Women, I will let you in on a male secret. Men know that constantly self-proclaiming male 'feminists' are often predatory sleaze bags … they are viewed to be sex traitors.“—Julian Assange, DiEM25 Advisory Panel

“I am utterly a feminist in my disposition.”—Yanis Varoufakis, DiEM25 Coordinating Collective

These two statements are incompatible. DiEM members have a right to know where DiEM stands on this.

@Lea @Wessel_Dublin @Marjoline
Yes, a big thanks to Wessel for organising this and the next one on Tuesday. I encourage everyone to participate. Waiting for the real DiEM Cafe (please help @adamnewby on github.com/e3713/diemcafe, I cannot). The DiEM25 Cafe in Brussels last month was awesome, too much on the plate to talk but awesome. IRL or online, it is always too short. Maybe the cure is more often then 😉 . Glad to have met you Lea and Marjoline. And Wessel in Brussels and last night again.

So @Marjoline from DiEM25 extracted the English bits from last year’s Tegenlicht program on Smart Cities. Thank you so much! :)

@Wessel_Dublin @pedrojuan Yes, indeed...
@pedrojuan Trial!

Watch an somewhat altered Christian Lindner, head of the German FDP - which seeks to become one of the three most powerful parties in the Bundestag this September & is campaigning with slogans like "Digital first, Bedenken (roughly: reflections) second".

I'm not quite sure if I like it but I couldn't resist posting it :-)

Hey all!

The School of Political Hope in Cologne is opening its doors for the first time on September 21st!

Sadly their platform is on FB, but hopefully this will change in the future :-)

Most of the entries are in German, but do have a look at this part in English:

Schule der politischen Hoffnung

The School of Political Hope is a place of community building and knowledge gathering. It is open to all who no longer want to feel politically powerless and alone, but instead want to unlearn...

Does anyone know how one could get past the blockage of Discord by the Tor browser?

(I'm aware of the fact that Tor has a reason for blocking Discord but I've got to ask nonetheless.)

Cheers,

Lea.

The Internet of People: next steps

Our policies will be developed independently in a new not-for-profit dedicated to the purpose with input from DiEM25 (& implemented in DiEM’s 7th pillar).

It will also have input from (and the legitimacy of) a panel of respected experts in the field of ethical tech and be open to input & adoption by any progressive political movement should they choose to get involved.
