Whoa- this is the most fantastic pedagogical tool I’ve encountered in as long as I can remember (which is a helluva high bar, considering who I live with).

I’m so excited to have my 6yo play with it! And you all should too.

Parliamo del programma di cui ha davvero bisogno l’Italia: l'unico futuro nazionale possibile è progressista, europeo e libero, che allarghi i diritti invece di restringerli! 💜🇪🇺

On September 16, Ursula von der Leyen will deliver #SOTEU 🇪🇺, but national party politics increasingly trump European interest.

Let's take back the agenda. One million citizens can mass-file Citizen Initiatives.

ECIs have forced action on water as a public good, on access to safe abortion, and more. They work, but only if we are a million.

Volt is preparing a series of them. Sign up now at https://t.co/Ht80X0degk to know when they launch.

First goal: 10,000 by the end of the month.

The President called the decision not to follow it with a new European Convention for Treaty reform “a grave mistake” and urged Europe to resume a serious and courageous reflection.

Più lo schermo è grande, più la trama fa paura.
Incendi devastanti, carceri strapiene, sanità al collasso, salari al palo, morti sul lavoro, siccità: non è L’Odissea di Nolan, è l’Italia di oggi.
Ti va di cambiare le cose con noi?

Il caso di Elena Tuniz mostra cosa non funziona nel Codice della strada di Salvini: una semplice traccia di THC può bastare ad aprire un procedimento, anche senza prove di alterazione alla guida.
La Consulta ha dovuto correggere la norma.
Ora va riscritta!

Rob Jetten quoted Margaret Thatcher (or Destiny's child 🤷‍♂️) if he would vote for the new EU budget. "Nein. Non. No" was his answer

Sabato, #CCCP, Einaudi e la sua visione moderata della tassa di successione: un bel 33% che in 3 generazioni riportasse allo Stato il valore ereditato. Poi uno dice che 'sto paese non è mai stato governato dai comunisti! (spoiler: no, sennò oltre che a dirlo lo facevano)

Is the EU in decline?

Two men. Same job, same age, same company: Amazon.

One earns more. He's also the one more likely to die young. He's the American.

How the EU works:

Commission proposals

VS

Real legislative outcome

[Alberto Alemanno 🇪🇺 @alemannoEU]

Lobbying spending has more than doubled (!) in the EU since 2020.

And it's paying off: the von der Leyen 2 Commission, with the support of a right-wing majority in the European Parliament, has embarked on the biggest rollback of EU standards in history - from digital, consumer and food rights to environment and climate protection. The Commission has already delivered 10 omnibus deregulation packages - single proposals bundling multiple rollbacks, designed to minimise scrutiny.

New data from @corporateeurope and @lobbycontrol puts hard numbers on what many suspected: the top 173 industry lobbyists now spend €381.75 million annually on influencing EU institutions. Tech giants alone account for €73M. Energy majors: €52M. Chemicals and agribusiness: €46.5M.

This further injection of corporate money is set to deepen the power asymmetry between corporate interests and the general interest across public health, consumer protection, digital rights and climate action.

EU deregulation bypasses both the procedural safeguards meant to keep power accountable (no public consultation, no impact assessments) and the substantive Treaty standards meant to ensure high levels of consumer, environmental, and public health protection.

The EU deregulation agenda is set to backfire, as lower standards of protection hit people and reinforce foreign domination over our individual and collective life.

Di politica capisco poco. Di dati qualcosina di più. Così, invece di discutere di chi ha ragione, ho provato a capire come si comporta il dibattito politico su X. Il solito format: raccolgo i dati, lancio i miei agenti, gli do qualche formula, qualche vincolo e un obiettivo preciso. In questo caso: capire chi viene difeso, chi viene attaccato e quali idee spingono davvero le persone a esporsi.

Rama says that if it were not Jared Kushner, Albanians would not care. I think the opposite is true. Kushner is the reason the world is looking, but he is not the reason Albanians are angry.
