focus on why change is needed—and how it can make things better for everyone.

and together with a huge dose of patience, let's continue putting a fight for the values that ultimately matter.

real change starts with listening and finding common ground.

don't defend the status quo, or the institutions, but definitely do defend values.

freedom. democracy. diversity. collaboration.

because institutions can fail (and are failing), but values can unite.

pause. listen. show empathy.

focus on understanding, not just winning the argument.

be humble. be respectful. don’t humiliate.

it’s not about proving you know more, that time will vindicate you, or that others are foolish for not agreeing with you

and if they can’t, then the other person must be dumb, not worth following, not worth talking to.

and so, polarisation grows.

but changing minds doesn’t work like that.

pro or anti-trump, everyone wants to win the argument, to feel validated.

(and i put myself first there)

people want to end the discussion with themselves on top—being more knowledgeable, more socially committed, more pure in their intentions.

since trump's inauguration, every conversation i've had—whether with family or friends—starts from a place of raw emotion.

excitement, triumph, and relief on one side;

anger, frustration, and anxiety on the other.

The #EUolifant wants to make a #EUtop100 starter pack of most interesting and knowledgeable people to follow on EU matters.

Still a bit biased to the 🇳🇱 so make it more 🇪🇺 😀. It’s up to you!

PS: No lawmakers

is it politically motivated? absolutely.

is it a risky move that could backfire in europe? most likely.

but here’s the thing: it’s a normal business decision—adapt, acknowledge, propose.

now it’s up to shareholders and users to decide if they continue supporting this direction.

a ceo...

...addressing a global regulatory concern that has worsened in the last few years, despite the measures that have been taken.

...acknowledging what hasn’t worked (the fact-checking system)

...being transparent about the trade-offs

...and offering a new solution

but also...

i hope you enjoy this first video!

if you have your own take, feel free to share it below.

or if there’s a story you’d like me to cover, let me know in the comments.

and no, it’s not sponsored by Meta—just like the videos recorded with my iPhone weren't sponsored by Apple.

as someone juggling a full-time job and creating content, i’ve found a way to keep it low effort and high impact, here's how:

i’m using my new Meta's smart glasses, so you can literally see what i see whilst listen to what I say in good quality.

how you frame your policy topics really matters.

the current regulation of online political advertising is hurting good-faith actors, and Google's decision to stop political advertising in its platform is another example.

here's why

habemus european commissioners @ec.europa.eu !

in spain, the #hearings were a highly political process, kinda like the approval of an actual gov minister, so that more people know how we actually have a say on the eu's top jobs, and why it matters.

welcome to everyone and let's get to work!

people who peaked on #x #twitter - none of them are here.

so, hi to the new cool guys in town 👋

new here, the campaignplaybook says hi to bluesky

some will get too excited about this - yet this dissatisfaction cycle will keep feeding itself as more extreme parties will only bring more chaos (see trump appointees).

how to stop this cycle? 🤷‍♂️ i read you for inspiration

these are good times to be in political opposition in a developed country, and the trend will continue probably in germany, spain, and, worryingly, france?

🇺🇸 the party in power has lost three elections in a row, something that didn’t happen since the 1800s .
