🇦🇲 Dear Nikol Pashynian, congratulations on your electoral victory. The spirit of the Velvet Revolution you led in 2018 is alive and well. We deeply value our partnership with a democratic Armenia that is drawing ever closer to Europe. Armenia can count on us.

Russia lost the election in Armenia, which is good news for the whole world

🧵 Thread: Does the internet threaten democracy? I argue that it does in my latest piece in Science: doi.org/10.1126/scie... Here's the short version. 1/9 1/10

I spoke with PM Pashinyan about Russia’s recent restrictions targeting Armenia. This is nothing short of economic coercion, and it is unacceptable. Europe stands firmly with Armenia. We are preparing a support package. Read-out ↓ link.europa.eu/7k7tXH

Russia's biggest battle right now is Armenia. Russia has already lost elections in Romania, Moldova, and Hungary, and is now losing in Armenia. If it loses Armenia, Georgia will likely be next. Turkey is watching closely. Russia is now doing everything it can to pull Armenia back into its orbit⤵️

Trump's special envoy to Greenland came to Nuuk with the stated goal of "making new friends". It does not seem to be going particularly well. Nobody wants to speak with him, the Greenlandic politicians unanimously call him disrespectful, and on day two he is quarreling with the Danish press.

👀No, Denmark is not withdrawing from EU, WHO and other international organisations. The Danish fact-checking organisation @tjekdet.dk has investigated and debunked the false rumours ⬇️

On Greenland, most people worldwide (including in the US) agree more with Greenland/Denmark's position than with the US position. See the 2026 Democracy Perception Index dashboard here: www.niradata.com/dpi

This wild document is the basis for the State Department's decision to cancel the visas and green cards of tech researchers who study the social media platforms and of tech regulators who enforce privacy and transparency laws. Disclosed to us last night in @thecoalition.bsky.social v. Rubio.

All because Trump lied about the 2020 election.

The world's richest men 'have clearly left the world of consequences behind. They float in a sensory-deprivation tank the size of the planet, in which their actions are only ever judged by themselves.' www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

Extremely normal and fine for a company to put this in a public statement

Pope Leo XIV is not only the shepherd of the Roman Catholic flock across the globe, but a symbol of moral courage and clarity in a time where such compasses are increasingly needed.   His voice is one that Europeans of all faiths - and none - listen to, appreciate and respect.

Hardly surprising that the same industry seems to be making an effort to limit the visibility of information about their own environmental impact/emissions in their LLMs. www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etud...

Hungary proved in practice that Trump+Vance (and Putin) are toxic, yes. But Greenland marked the point where it could no longer be ignored that the actions of Trump's USA collide with the interests of (European) sovereign nations.

Hungarians celebrated the landslide defeat of Orban by singing "We Are the Champions" out in the streets

'Hungary shows that when mainstream democratic forces get their act together, they can win. That lesson should resonate across Europe. It might even strike home in the United States.'

Literally biblical.

Ma este Európa szíve erősebben dobog Magyarországon. Europe’s heart is beating stronger in Hungary tonight.

Apparently, the support from Trump, JD Vance and Putin didn’t resonate with the people of Hungary, for some reason

New syllabus extension just dropped: #ContraAI🤖 #GenAI #highereducation #teaching (by Joep Schuurkes)

With Hungarian elections on the horizon, EU leaders are finally recognizing that this is not simple veto politics, but a sustained strategy of undermining—and instrumentalizing—European integration in ways that benefit both Putin and Trump. Long overdue.

Intelligence agencies of Orbán’s government have been secretly using Webloc, a mass surveillance tool that tracks hundreds of millions of people via smartphone advertising data, making Hungary the first confirmed EU country to deploy in likely violation of GDPR vsquare.org/orban-spying...

👏 Must-read - looking forward to the presentation today!
