It's going to be morbidly funny when all the media outlets and special interest groups demanding mass censorship legislation to "protect children" suddenly find themselves buried in frivolous lawsuits and jailed.

It's good to see that the European Commission is launching an investigation against X under the DSA.
X is a platform that is not addressing sytemic risks and spread of illegal content, includng child abuse materials and sexual images. Due to this, the platform should be investigated and punished accordingly as it is clear that X intentionally allowed the dissemination and generation of fake sexual images of women and children.

Sorry for the confusion and inconvenience.

Reminder to people in #Europe and #Canada that there are a lot of #transgender and #disabled people in the US who could use your help right now. There are a few #charities which are going to need some heavy funding over the next couple years (the Trevor Project and ACLU come to mind), and we also have a #MutualAid hashtag right here on Fedi. Please also consider that servers in the US, like this one, are talking about relocating to a safer country, which may change our financials.
If, per chance, you'd like to help a particular transgender disabled moderator who may need to relocate in the next year, my KoFi is at...

A useful #WTFistheCouncil reminder I usually have to skip due to character limits or not wanting to scare off normies too much. It's not just our national governments who'd prefer to keep us ignorant about how the #EU works (though they're the biggest culprit), journalists, lobbyists, and a lot of MEPs benefit from it as well.

Antonio Costa [President of the European Council, former Secretary-General of the Portuguese Socialist Party]:
"Budapest must stop importing gas and oil from Russia: it is the best way to hasten the end of the war," accusing Viktor Orbán of being primarily responsible for the "20% of supplies" that the EU pays for to Russia.

To EU leaders: Stop the pilgrimage to Mar-a-Lago.
Appeasement fails when the counterpart views compromise as weakness. The US made its choice. Now Europe must make ours.
We demand:
1. Reciprocity: Meet pressure with leverage.
2. Dignity: Build power, not validation.
3. Autonomy: Secure our own defense.
We are 450 million citizens. Act like a superpower.

The "Solo Savior" narrative coming from Trump regarding WWII is exhausting.
He completely erases the heroism of the British (🇬🇧 🇨🇦 🇦🇺 🇳🇿 🇮🇳 🇿🇦), who stood alone in the darkest hour. They paid an unimaginable price in blood to hold the line long before the US decided to enter the fray. Churchill didn't negotiate; he endured so that freedom could survive.
It is deeply tragic how quickly the US is transforming into a volatile and contemptuous rogue state.

World Health Organization (WHO): World Polio Day: vaccination remains key to keeping #Europe polio free
Polio #vaccination coverage for the European Region as a whole decreased in 2024 compared to previous years, leaving over 450 000 babies unprotected.
A variant poliovirus, type 2, has been detected through routine surveillance of wastewater systems in 6 countries in the Region (Finland, Germany, Israel, Poland, Spain and the United Kingdom) since September 2024, with the most recent positive sample found in September 2025 in Germany.
Thanks to sufficient vaccination coverage in the affected areas, there has been no evidence of community transmission of this virus nor any cases of paralytic #polio in any of these countries to date
🇩🇪🇮🇹 Germany and Italy on Friday backed an organization dedicated to fighting hybrid threats and #disinformation, weeks after the United States exited it and called it “wasteful.”
Strike the Bully!
Trump backs down when the stock market is melting down. Like his u-turn on Greenland.
"The markets’ decline offers a plausible explanation. Trump’s retreat on trade after his “liberation day” coincided with a market freefall and China’s refusal to back down, ready to retaliate tit for tat in the trade war.
The markets reacted negatively because Europe signalled it would not be a pushover once again."
