“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable”, zei John F. Kennedy.

Wel, we bevinden ons op een hellend vlak richting autocratie, waar het recht op (geweldloos) protest en een kritisch middenveld onder druk staan. Dat zou ons allemaal zorgen moeten baren.😦

what a headline

The liberalisation & austerity of #rail transport in #Europe. 🚆

Our expectations were: terrible.

And they have been met.

They said market competition makes services more performant, and true, they're currently especially performant in:
1) inaccessibility and
2) failure

(Yes I'm on a late train)

It all comes down to this!

A ground-breaking #EU law crucial to secure dignified lives and work places called the #CSDDD was voted in right before the 2024 elections.

Now, the EU's conservative forces want to destroy it already. On 21/10, elected representatives choose to stop or continue this way

EPIC PROTESTS IN #BRUSSELS AGAINST THE RIGHT-WING GOVERNMENT

The 4 km between North and South station were too short to fit the ~150000 people who said NO to #austerity NO to #growth at all costs. YES to #solidarity #compassion and #publicservices ✊🌹 LET'S GO!

#nationalestaking #grevenationale

Massive win in #cycling, where ongoing protests for months, culminating at #LaVuelta25, caused professional cycling team "Israel Premier Tech" to drop their ties with Israel and their Israeli co-owner.

Protest works. The united people have the power ✊🇵🇸🍉

#PremierTech #FreePalestine

We joined thousands on the streets of Brussels today for the #ClimateMarch, walking with our Belgian groups to say: let’s tip the balance! ⚖️

Listen to us, not big polluters.

For climate justice and a transition that puts #PeopleOverProfits.

About collapse: "The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born."(Gramsci, 1930)

So hope lies in *allowing* the new to be born!

💚 We deserve a thriving future.

Human rights and climate justice have always gone hand in hand. We must push the EU institutions to protect lives and the environment from climate change.

Not just in the EU, but everywhere!

Agree? Join Zia Ur Rehman today at Schuman at 18:30 💪

🚨 LIVE in MAASTRICHT

We're kicking off the #BackToTheFuture march!

We have come together with many others to make sure EU decisionmakers hear us all the way down in Brussels:

Protect people ➕ planet
Going backwards is not an option! We want protections for people, communities and environment

"It's not refugees, it's billionaires, oil and gas companies, press barons, and the politicians who serve them, who wreck this country. (...) [The far-right] profits from the poverty that weakens us, the racism that divides us, the climate crisis that threatens us." ✊

We stand with the Global Sumud Flotilla 🍉

The largest citizen flotilla in history is sailing to Gaza with food, medicine, and supplies. Israel threatened to seize it - but together we can be their shield.

Help watch over the flotilla & demand its safe passage👇

The final EU-Mercosur deal does nothing to stop free-trade from harming neither small-scale farmers nor Indigenous Peoples threatened by the expansion of agribusiness.

The splitting manoeuvre is an undemocratic hijacking of the long-standing opposition of several EU member states and parliaments.

Agree they are middling in WorldTour level. They rank 14th in the UCI list and 12th on PCS atm. But my post is aimed at a wider audience, any WT team is one of the biggest teams in that case, compared to cycling as a whole. But anyway not the most part of the post hehe :)

Groot respect voor de demonstranten die #LaVuelta25 verstoren !!

Wat gebeurt er? Een van de grootste deelnemende teams is "Israel Premier Tech", die schroomloos de Israëlische staat promoot voor een wereldwijd publiek.

De juiste vraagt begint op te duiken: moeten we hen uitsluiten? (Ja!)
🍉☮️

Massive respect for the protesters disrupting #LaVuelta25 !!

What's happening? One of the biggest teams is called "Israel Premier Tech" and is nothing less than promoting the Israeli state for worldwide spectators.

The right question starts being asked: should we kick the team out? (Yes!)

Our decryption of the new EU-US trade plans shows: Europe is about to give away environmental, health and safety protection.
