Full room and standing ovation for Timothy Snyder in Brussels tonight.
Resistance needs to work collectively and develop a positive notion of freedom.
Europe should avoid the US tech race to the bottom. So-called “innovation” makes us dumber!

The era of hybrid warfare:
Poland successfully warded off a massive Russian cyberattack on its powergrid over Christmas.

I've had a couple of (white, privileged) friends say that nothing can be done about authoritarianism.
They say:
"Why give out red cards if ICE will just kick down the door anyway?"
"ICE will be at polling places and they're going to steal the election."
So, I'm looking for book recommendations or other sources on community organizing. I want to combat the doomerism and future-tripping.

We zitten in een digitale noodsituatie, wanneer nemen we die eens serieus?
De macht van Amerikaanse Big Tech in combinatie met de 'veiligheidsstrategie' van het Trump regime vraagt om een andere, strategische kijk op technologie.

This week, Europe must choose:
Whether the EU remains a geopolitical object, or chooses to become a subject that shapes its own future.

The US is not just Europe’s unwilling ally, but an adversary steeped in far-right ideology, writes prof Cas Mudde.
The Trump regime "believes that its national security is best served by the destruction of liberal democracy in Europe."

Honoured to interview MEP @alexandrageese - #1 of the "Ten to watch" in #POLITICO28 - about the European Democracy Shield.
While it acknowledges the systemic risk European democracy faces, the Shield falls short of addressing its root causes.
