My entire X timeline is anti-EU posts from people I don't follow.

Even if I change it from 'for you' to 'following', it switches back to 'for you' each time I open the site.

X is being weaponised against the EU. And unfortunately X is still the public square for European journalists & politicians.

Gaza used to have twelve higher-education institutions. Over the last two years, Israel partly or totally destroyed every one of them in its campaign to crush Palestinian public life and ruin its chances of recovery.

Around half of San Francisco is without power right now and something like 1/3rd of intersections I drove through had waymos stopped in the middle of them making a dangerous situation even worse.

Do not let Waymo into your city.

At the HHS announcement yesterday announcing proposed rules to ban GAC, they said trans people are "at the root of the evils we face" and are "a hatred for nature as God designed it and for life as it was meant to be lived.”

Just in case you thought it was about concerns for proper healthcare.

123 vs 24. Fox hunting remains legal.
I’ll just note that this in no way reflects public opinion, which is massively against this barbaric relic gifted to us by our colonisers, nor I suspect the opinion of the TDs if they were being honest with themselves.

Scandalously the Dáil has just voted 73-71 to continue to force many women to travel abroad for abortions by refusing to reinstate Bríd Smith's Bill to scrap the three day waiting period.

The vast majority of FF and FG TDs voted against women's right to choose. Shame on them.

@zeteo.com Compare and contrast Donald Trump's response to Rob Reiner's murder with Biden and Harris's responses to Charlie Kirk's murder.

There is no 'both sides'. Just one side - Trump - that is cruel, sociopathic, unhinged.
