‘Pathetic’ Europe has accepted colonisation by US, says Brussels expert

Europe must break away from US “colonisation”, argues the Brussels-based journalist Dave Keating. In an impassioned new book, Keating says it’s not just military dependence that runs against Europe’s interests.

Keep Big Tech Accountable!

Big Tech is trying to get away with breaking the rules - again.Google and Musk have already been held accountable, but now lobbyists are pushing to weaken the rules that protect our safety, privacy, and money online.We can’t let them succeed✍️ Add your voice and tell EU leaders: protect people’s safety, not billionaires’ profits!

@georgetakei Do the Ukrainian people now also have a deal for free weapons, like Trump wanted their minerals in exchange for helping them?

Trump doesn't even care about US soldiers who have fallen in war. My god, how stupid are the Americans who voted for him and some are even dumber than a rock for still supporting him.

So, like Venezuela, but a lot bloodier and costlier. Great. All for what?

When you hear them target any vulnerable community—immigrants, trans people, refugees—ask first why they're trying to distract and divide us. Don't fall for it.

Brilliant European women powered progress, but the credit did not always go to them.

Melitta Bentz invented the coffee filter. History called her a ‘housewife’.
Marthe Gautier found Down Syndrome’s extra chromosome. Her boss took the spotlight.
Maria Anna Mozart composed masterpieces. Wolfgang Amadeus’ name survived, hers vanished.
Janet Sobel pioneered drip painting. Jackson Pollock was the genius.

This International Women’s Day, let’s restore their stories and give the credit they deserve!

Early this year, the news broke that OpenAI’s president, Greg Brockman, donated $25m to Maga Inc, Donald Trump’s biggest Super Pac. This made him Trump’s largest donor of the last cycle. When Wired asked him to explain, Brockman said his donations were in service of OpenAI’s mission to benefit “humanity.”

@rbreich In the clip: ‘It's common sense.’ Sadly, I don't see any sign of that in the current US government. When you look at how ‘aggressive’ the US is treating its allies right now, what do you expect?
