@MiaMarkTwo Well, the parents of German boomers also voted for the racist too 😨

Our most-shared post today was about this alarming exchange.
It captures one of the main reasons we created #LeaveX: to protect democracy from political manipulation and disinformation promoted by tech billionaires through platforms they control.
This is not only about the US. The attack on democracy is global, and the tech oligarchs are gaining ground.
How can we bring democrats together and turn concern into *effective action*?
@CordonBleu la campagna fu annunciata il 26-09-2025: "la Banca fa advocacy con parlamentari italiani e europei affinché risolvano la questione alla radice, chiedendo che venga definita a livello europeo un’azione strutturale che garantisca agli operatori finanziari europei la possibilità di operare liberi da vincoli arbitrari decisi da governi extraeuropei." Fosse vero, dopo 1 anno direbbero quali parlamentari sono stati contattati, cosa è stato proposto e come hanno risposto.

@seachanger Very interested to hear what you think of it!
I’ve been going back and forth over getting an Android of some flavor to install Graphene on, or getting a Pinephone and going full glitchy mobile Linux… but I’m open to considering anything that isn’t Google or Apple.

We told Grandpa, who was too old to drive safely, that his granddaughter, who had just had a baby, really needed a car and was especially attached to HIS car, but was too embarrassed to ask for it. He gave up the keys right away.
the problem with youth unemployment in the UK keeps being framed as the fault of young people. the employers who are, en masse, refusing to hire anyone without years of experience are somehow being given a pass on this - as on everything else. really, Labour should be reframing the social contract as including a duty on companies - all companies - to hire and train people with no experience
it's just numbers. when a million people are trying to fill ten thousand jobs, 99% of them will not be successful, and chastising them ever more harshly for their failures is just fucking pointless.
