Women Against Fascism

Thousands protest in Spanish city Bilboa against fascism and imperialism on 31 January.

Vor der EU-Kommission in Brüssel haben wir #Google heute symbolisch zerschlagen. Der Konzern kontrolliert große Teile des Online-Werbemarkts und missbraucht seine #Monopolmacht seit Jahren. Das schadet Medien, Demokratie und uns allen. Nur eine Zerschlagung kann das Problem effektiv lösen.

A Mighty Roar Let's unleash our power and defend what is dear to us

When the going gets tough, the tough get going. It is understandable if you are feeling anxious and helpless, but you have more power than you think. Each of us can do something, and together we will have a Mighty Roar. Read my pep talk here: open.substack.com/pub/sophiein...

👏👏 @lobbycontrol.bsky.social for today's action calling for Break Up of Big Tech, starting with Google at the EU's Headquarters.

#HandsOFF our democracy — Defend Democracy Speech by Defend Democracy at the 'Hands Off Our Democracy' protest in front of the European Commission, urging to them defend our democracy and our Europe.

"Since at least 2014 we are watching a coup against democracy unfold. It is the combination of hybrid warfare, rise of the far-right, and tech coup.

How long can Europe hold the line if we don’t take defending our democracy as serious as defending our territory?"

While the Trump administration loudly guts diversity and inclusion — a quieter rollback is underway at the EU.

"This is not just a bureaucratic decision"

"In the US we see how inclusion and diversity programs disappear one by one."

Also shows that twitter is essential and global infrastructure; the US should not have permitted its sale into private hands.

Hopefully I’ll get a chance to propose regulatory options when I’m on the mainstage of business day at 2:40pm #AIActionSummit
