EC issues a statement strongly condemning the US decision to impose travel restrictions on five Europeans, including former Commissioner Thierry Breton. https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/statement_25_3160

I have donated €100 to @hateaid today, but there are also many others (see e.g. https://edri.org/about-us/our-network/ or https://noyb.eu) that will come under more and more pressure by the US in the next year(s).

@randahl @hadon Why don't Thierry Breton and Sarah B. Rogers have Mastodon accounts‽ It's maddening that they post to X about creating European platforms and not to the Fediverse.

@cybette happy holidays to you 2 hope you enjoy them.

The GOP is standing at ground zero of a political hydrogen bomb that is going to fire at the end of the year when the ACA health care subsidies expire. It will be like nothing else they have ever experienced.

@lauren I'm old enough to have been in high school during the Nixon administration and thought he was as bad as a president could get. Making Nixon look good, as Trump has indeed done, is quite the achievement.

@catsalad How can I maintenance my car next

@allisforall @ElliesSurviving that's interesting and not what I would have excepted, thank you. I couldn't find any similar statistics for the UK stratifying vegans by income, I was basing the assumption that percentage would corelate with income on the fact that 15% of UK households are struggling to afford food at all https://foodfoundation.org.uk/news/latest-food-insecurity-tracker-shows-seven-million-adults-going-hungry and it's pretty much impossible to support a vegan diet if you can't access fresh food, on the fact that cost and access is the main reason people

That sort of re-arrangement is what Russia and China are wishing for, though 😐 So, we have to be careful.
Yes, for now we should do without them, but once the regime changes, we should help them rebuild their democracy (they will need us 😐 )

@futurebird the message itself is simple.
Alas, the execution can be difficult so many people ignore it, bending their religion. @axolotl

In what way optimal?

REMEMBER: Assume EVERYTHING the Trump administration says publicly is a LIE, absent solid, third-party evidence to the contrary.

Swedish activist Greta Thunberg was released from custody after being arrested on Tuesday in London at a pro-Palestine protest for holding “I support the Palestine Action prisoners. I oppose genocide” sign.

My traditional winter solstice read used to be 'The Dark Is Rising' by Susan Cooper.

Coincidentally, this year I've chosen to reread 'Hogfather' and am really enjoying the change :)

I do appreciate the US state department strengthening my case here with their sanctions on former EU officials & other supporters of EU digital safety acts just now: https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/you-can-no-longer-base-your-government-and-society-on-us-clouds/
