A look back on the previous Hungarian administration's anti-Ukraine disinformation campaign shows the jump from legitimate criticism of Ukraine’s language law to siding with the Russians in their information operations without the slightest hesitation.https://t.co/gpKiODAiEp

Automation looms especially large for workers with no union and no job security; degraded working conditions and poor pay are already here, not in the future.

The #US failure in #Iran exposes the limits of power. But it also shows a deeper loss of moral and leadership capital that may be harder to recover.

[Dave Keating @DaveKeating]

Excellent piece in The Guardian today by @AlemannoEU on the self-defeating deregulation fever being imposed right now by EU leaders (particularly #Merzoni, implemented unquestioningly by 🇪🇺President @VonDerLeyen).

The problem with the EU is not in Brussels. It is in the national capitals who block completion of the EU single market because of self interest and short term thinking.

'Brussels bureaucracy' becomes the easiest scapegoat for such spineless leaders who don't want to take the tough decisions that would solve the fragmentation problems that are actually to blame for Europe's relative economic struggles.

Austria-Hungary's First World War was not the death rattle of a doomed empire. It was a period of state transformation which shaped the nations that replaced it.

https://t.co/pHoR90vS41

Progressives must address the key issues shaping the Mediterranean region and the European Union’s approach to the region. 🇪🇺

#CallToEurope will examine the geopolitical shifts affecting the region, including the urgent need for a just peace process that leads to a fair and sustainable solution between Palestine and Israel, as well as the responsibility of the European Union to actively condemn Israel’s illegal violations of international law and uphold the protection of Palestinian rights.
🕊️

Participants will also reflect on the broader regional implications of the United States and Israel’s illegal war against #Iran and Lebanon, and the wider destabilising impacts on the Mediterranean region, as well as the democratisation struggles in North Africa. 🌍

With speakers including:
🔸 @FedericaMog, former Vice-President, European Commission & former High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, EEAS (2014–2019); former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Italy (2014)
🔸@MavridesCostas MEP, S&D Group

Trump’s predecessors managed violence with a mix of publicity and concealment. Trump’s approach is to bring the brutality into the open—and dare people to get used to it.
