Happy Yeltsin Supermarket Day! 🥳 36 years ago, the USSR's leader realised his regime didn't lose the Cold War because of superior central planning on the side of the West, but because of the economic affluence only free markets and global trade can provide. 😎

With the #ESFLAwards, we celebrate collective accomplishments, but also the individual leaders who stood out and inspired others through their work for liberty in their countries and beyond. 🏆 An example of such inspiring leadership is Blazej Szkudlarek, our Leader of the Year for 2025.

Across Europe, 35 Students For Liberty chapters are spreading the ideas of liberty. 🏆 This year in the #ESFLAwards, the title of the Group of the Year goes to Spanish Students For Liberty!

If you were one who refrained from publicly speculating about the politics of the Utah assassin before a likely suspect was in custody, and in particular refrained from stoking anger at persons of any one viewpoint or faction, congratulations. Yours was the smart move.

Core to the values of classical liberalism is the dignity and autonomy of all individuals. The government should not be in the way of anyone's peaceful pursuit of happiness.

The final #throwback to this year's Ukrainian Renaissance, this time to the last conference day on Sunday, July 6. 😊

Last weekend, our Czech team joined the #PraguePride. 🏳️‍🌈 Equality before the law and tolerance for all lifestyle choices that impose no harm on others are among the core principles of classical liberalism.

⚫️ 17 years ago today, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Georgia, and to this day occupies 20% of its territory. The war has since become informational, with false narrative from Kremlin diluting the facts about the invasion. Know the facts. Don't be a propaganda victim. #StandWithGeorgia

Markets respond positively to economic stability which makes planning easier for individuals and businesses. When statistics on essential market indicators turn from facts to vibes, decisions become harder as trust in what otherwise would be vital economic signals erodes.

Another #ThrowbackThursday to this year's Ukrainian Renaissance conference - this time to the second day on Saturday, July 5.

Tariffs don't help the economy in the long term. Minimum wage hikes don't decrease inequality. Central planning in money doesn't produce economic stability. Prohibition doesn't eliminate drug-related deaths.

This was a fun panel. I started my talk with, "I'm not an economist or an international trade expert, but I do know about the right's ideology and political psychology, and Trump's tariffs aren't really about economics, but about ideology and psychology. And they're even stupider than you imagine."

Want to learn more about tariffs, and the political movement movement that is cheering for them? We have you covered! At LibertyCon, we covered just that with Pavel Potuzak, @aaronrosspowell.com, Rob Armstrong, and @reemibrahim.bsky.social: www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5Ys...

Karl Popper, one of 20th century's great liberal thinkers, was born on this day in 1902. His book, The Open Society and Its Enemies, is an undisputable classic, and today is the best day to delve into his works! 🥳
