I'm so angry at ourselves for our historical failure. After Georgia, Crimea, and Donbas, we have not prepared anything that would have really deterred Putin.

How could Brussels name a policy that's so closely linked with its potential for political legitimacy among a new generation of #climate activists a freaking "taxonomy"? h/t @MehreenKhn

New political parties like @VoltEuropa and @DiEM_25 are battling to lay claim to the mantle of progressive Europe. This is a good thing.

Volt is shocked that the co-founder of @DiEM_25 and Progressive International has compared the EU to a regime. The EU is a democratic political and economic union of 28 states. We acknowledge that it's imperfect, and thus we want to reform it, but the EU isn't a regime. #VoteVolt

@JenniferMerode The "fraudsters had, over time, been shifting their operations to the UK. This happened despite OLAF having repeatedly alerted the UK authorities to the need to take action ... " Are British even investigating? Were there bribes?

A wealthy Brussels suburb is ready to sue #Brussels to reverse ban on cars in city's most important park because the suburb doesn't want cars. Huh? What fresh petrolhead hell is this? #Uccle should for lobby for park & ride, buses, metros instead. #boisdelacambre @Fridays4future

Nice from @PaulNemitz on journalists giving orientation not just information in age of #infodemia . AKA, if someone says it's raining & another says it's dry it's not your job to quote them both. Your job is to look out the fucking window & find out which is true. #euinfluencer
