I'm struck by this clip of former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz saying Holocaust education has backfired in part because people Palestinians as victims: "They think the lesson of the Holocaust is…you fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people."

The image displays an excerpt from an official document. Under the heading "The following items are withdrawn:", item 68 is listed under the category "Justice and Home Affairs". The item refers to the "Regulation to prevent and combat child sexual abuse", specifically regarding the "Partial mandate for negotiations with the European Parliament". To the right, the document reference number 15318/25 and the code ENFOPOL are visible.

🇪🇺EU governments are removing #ChatControl from today's COREPER agenda because a majority has not yet been reached. For the reasons, see this leaked cable, especially regarding Spain's demand: https://www.patrick-breyer.de/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/LEWP-Meeting_12-November-2025.pdf

🇪🇺EU #ChatControl is NOT defeated yet! In an open letter top scientists warn the new proposal still poses "high risks" with flawed 'voluntary' AI mass scanning & invasive age checks. Italy & Poland have reservations, too […]

FT article segment that reads: "Jara, who joined the far-left party when she was 14, has described herself as “the candidate of the country’s centre-left coalition . . . not the candidate of the Communist party”. Her campaign pledges have been moderate, including a promise to maintain fiscal discipline while ruling out tax cuts and to pursue the gangs by tackling money laundering. “She is not proposing anything radical at all,” said Patricio Navia, a Chilean analyst and professor at New York University. “The problem is she’s a life-long meat eater running as a vegan, and that some are concerned about that.” "

Jara is the face of the centre-left coalition, rather than of the communist party specifically

the "communist" candidate is very much a centre-left moderate if you actually look into it

Kast is a trump wannabe, however

fortress Europe is very much entrenched too, to the point EU has been supporting slavery in Libya to fuck with migrants, this isn't just the work of the far right (though far right and liberal aren't necessarily opposed either, see the PVV for example)

Important update Thanks to the sheer volume of citizens raising their voices in opposition, the Danish Presidency has been forced to update its Chat Control compromise text to include the following recital:
 "(17a) Nothing in this Regulation should be understood as imposing any detection obligations on providers." 
 The final proposal 15318/25 containing recital 17a is now heading for Coreper (Committee of Permanent Representations). Once approved, the position formally adopted by Council will thus exclude mandatory scanning. Council is expected to officially adopt its position the 18th or 19th. We should then expect trilogue to commence. Next steps While this presents a “quick fix” in response to public pressure that legally is not a good solution, it is a much better position than before and one that can be worked with. The multiple flaws and inconsistencies that remain (e.g. mandatory age verification effectively outlawing anonymous communication and planned “voluntary” mass scanning) can be amended during trilogue with the European Parliament. While Danish Minister of Justice and Chief Architect of Chat Control Peter Hummelgaard, and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, are likely to attempt an expedited process, a deal is unlikely to be reached in December. They will likely try to complete the deal in Q1 of 2026. As negotiations commence, contact your MEPs and let them know how you would like them to vote and protect your codified rights to privacy.

The image shows a short excerpt of text from the latest Council draft regulation on "Chat Control". The text reads: "(17a) Nothing in this Regulation should be understood as imposing any detection obligations on providers."

🇪🇺✅ SUCCESS: We've prevented mandatory #ChatControl through the back door!🎉 A big win & THANKS to everyone! 🙏

But ⚠️: Anonymity-breaking age checks & "voluntary" mass scanning are still planned. The fight continues next year!

A cat poster in the style of a mid-century soviet propaganda poster. A grey and white cat in work overalls has his arms outstretched kneading a large pillow shaped clump of dough. Behind him is another cat that holds a bowl of baked biscuits. They stand in front of a huge red flag behind which is a graphic of rows of conveyor belts of biscuits in a biscuit factory. There is a logo for the "International Union of Biscuit Makers" and bold text at the bottom which reads "The Kneads of the People Come First - Full Bellies! - Food For All!" In smaller type various credits.

A cat poster in the style of a old-timey propaganda poster. The poster is divided into four vertical segments: 4 hours of work, 4 hours napping, 8 hours sleeping, and 8 hours "whatevs". The segments have illustrations of cats working, sleeping, etc. At bottom is the slogan "Control Productive Time and Reclaim the Day!"

A cat poster in the style of a propaganda poster. A cat stands in the foreground in fishing garb holding a metal dish filled with freshly caught fish and other seafood. In the background are socks and fishing boats. Cats work on the docks, boats, and in the radio tower. The poster is mostly blue but a bright yellow sunrise colour forms a halo around the head of the foreground cat. Text at top reads "Sustainable - Healthy - Delicious, Fish In Your Dish" and at bottom reads "Caught by the brave workers of the fishercat union." An international Fishercat Union logo is in the bottom left.

A cat poster in the style of a late 20th century, soviet propaganda poster. It is colourful and illustrated in a kind of abstract cartoon tyle. A large, black beast dog with eight legs, an industrial city for a body, a face spewing pollution, and maw full of jagged teeth is prevented from moving forward by a large, red cat. The cat stands firm with its arm out putting it weight against the dogs nose preventing it from moving forward. Behind the cat is a forest and green tech infrastructure. Text at top reads "Comrades! Let's urgently transform the old economic ways to preserve and nurture the planet we live and breathe by." Signed "N.NUN24".

What happened today? Behind closed doors, the Law Enforcement Working Party group approved the revised Danish Chat Control compromise with broad support. While mandatory scanning had officially been dropped, Article 4 of the new text reframes and reintroduces it by obliging providers of e-mail, chat, and messenger services to take “all appropriate risk mitigation measures”. This effectively forces providers to scan all messages, including private, end-to-end encrypted content. The same article outlaws anonymous communication by requiring every citizen to verify their age before accessing a service, kneecapping whistleblowers, journalists, political activists, and people seeking help who depend on anonymity. Article 6 further imposes a digital house arrest and would ban minors from installing software which comes with a significant risk of grooming, such as WhatsApp, Instagram, and online games like Roblox. What happens next? The legislation now moves to the Coreper (Committee of Permanent Representations) for approval. Without major political objections, the Council will formally adopt its position. At this stage, both the Council and Commission unite in imposing mass surveillance on all 450 million citizens of the European Union and we enter a rushed trilogue. Unfortunately, while the mandate of the European Parliament does not suffer from the same flaws, the Parliament is traditionally known for giving in. What now? We raise our voices. Louder.

‘I don’t want anyone to suffer like I did’: the intersex campaigners fighting to limit surgery on children What should be done about the small proportion of babies born with genitals that are neither typically male nor typically female? Many of those affected believe parents and doctors are often too quick...

These are some quite heartbreaking stories and, as Holly Greenberry-Pullen comments in the piece, really illustrates the perverse absurdity of deeming trans teens to young to even get blockers but being fine with intersex kids getting horrifically drastic full-on bodily surgery as *toddlers*.

is this a trick question?

not just western, but correct.

He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

the EU managed to turn into a far-right superstate by having the right constantly complain about how the EU will turn into a communist superstate if they don't take power

and of course, the only ethical solution is to decide on whether to use consensus democracy by using consensus democracy

I'm really confused, I've been running through Albania's new gender equality law and I haven't been able to find any clause mandating evil that Balkan legal changes usually have

I feel like the European people do not care enough about ChatControl or even know about it… if feels dystopian.
PLEASE educate yourself on it!!
At our recent victory we were warned this is not over and it’s not!!
STOP CHAT CONTROL!!! Protect privacy of all!!!
This is unacceptable behavior!!

they're basically just rewording the old proposal to get it past old politicians better

so to get EU approval you just need to try and pass blatantly corrupt laws, then take them back, got it

famously only caused American deaths

just call him a rootless cosmopolitan and save my time reading a wall of trash

most of these laws are coming from people who think the real danger to kids are the queers and not nearby abusers, so they'd probably love that

surely groups like the PFLP advocating for a one-state solution count and the person you're responding to is either extremely unaware or is being malicious

probably about the same level of propaganda effectiveness as the Castro candy bit
