Waiting for European leaders’ condemnation of US Defence Secretary Hegseth praising white supremacy at the D-day commemoration. For memory: D-Day was a milestone in defeating the Nazi ideology in Europe.

In June the EU proposed new rules to limit the continent’s reliance on US technology. Tougher regulation of Big Tech monopolies is missing from the discussion. WAF proposal for European sovereignty: BREAK UP BIG TECH

In June the EU agreed on new rules dubbed Deportation Regulation. The rules allow detention of migrants in offshore locations for unlimited periods of time. The new regime legitimises ICE-style cruelty &violence. Women Against Fascism’s counterproposal to solve the migration panic: deport fascists.

Frogs against fascism

Rainy edition of WAF Caff’ in Brussels only brought out more frogs. We are here to remind the EU not to co-opt fascism.

Women Against Fascism stand for democracy and human rights. We protest the normalisation of fascism in the EU, every first Tuesday of the month in front of the HQ of the European Commission in Brussels.

Every first Tuesday of the month, we meet at Schuman for WAF Caff to protest the collaborationist tendencies of the EU institutions.

Thousands protest in Spanish city Bilboa against fascism and imperialism on 31 January.

Vor der EU-Kommission in Brüssel haben wir #Google heute symbolisch zerschlagen. Der Konzern kontrolliert große Teile des Online-Werbemarkts und missbraucht seine #Monopolmacht seit Jahren. Das schadet Medien, Demokratie und uns allen. Nur eine Zerschlagung kann das Problem effektiv lösen.

When the going gets tough, the tough get going. It is understandable if you are feeling anxious and helpless, but you have more power than you think. Each of us can do something, and together we will have a Mighty Roar. Read my pep talk here: open.substack.com/pub/sophiein...

👏👏 @lobbycontrol.bsky.social for today's action calling for Break Up of Big Tech, starting with Google at the EU's Headquarters.

"Since at least 2014 we are watching a coup against democracy unfold. It is the combination of hybrid warfare, rise of the far-right, and tech coup. How long can Europe hold the line if we don’t take defending our democracy as serious as defending our territory?" defenddemocracy.eu/handsoff-our...

While the Trump administration loudly guts diversity and inclusion — a quieter rollback is underway at the EU. "This is not just a bureaucratic decision" "In the US we see how inclusion and diversity programs disappear one by one." h/t @marcangel-mep.bsky.social @europarl.europa.eu

Also shows that twitter is essential and global infrastructure; the US should not have permitted its sale into private hands. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to propose regulatory options when I’m on the mainstage of business day at 2:40pm #AIActionSummit

🇪🇺 To Engage or Not to Engage with the Far Right? 📘 With a changing political landscape marked by the influence of the far right, The Good Lobby has published a how-to guide aiming at to providing strategic support to civil society organisations. 🔗 Guide 👉 bit.ly/3BUFUDy 🎥 Webinar 👉 bit.ly/3Vn660w

Meta and X want the incoming Trump administration to hobble EU regulation. Here's our oped calling on @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu to resist obeying in advance — and to implement the EU's digital rules as they are written. www.techpolicy.press/metas-policy...

Ahead tonight’s livestream on Musk’s X with the neofascist AfD, a growing number of civil society organisations and academics are asking @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu : will you use the DSA to rein in hate and falsehoods and other abuses? docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Letter to @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu from prominent press freedom groups, citizen movements and professors: will you give assurances that @ec.europa.eu will enforce the DSA in the cases of X and Meta? Your failure to do so will incite more violence. docs.google.com/document/d/1...
