A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, the health care we can access and, now, the information we receive.

This is what oligarchy looks like.

Today is the day American consumers return to the mall like turtles returning to the place of their birth.

"Much of the moral panic over “cancel culture” – which animated Musk to buy Twitter in the first place – is a reaction to the fact that traditionally marginalized groups gained technological means to affect the political debate."

It was with immense pride that I addressed the people of Romania today.

At a very symbolic time, I had one message:

RT @PES_PSE: We regret the decision to keep #Bulgaria & #Romania out of #Schengen.
We are disappointed by this outcome, as is our Commissioner @ylvajohansson_eu - the same way Bulgarian & Romanian citizens are.
And we agree with her: we will continue working for 🇧🇬 & 🇷🇴 to join Schengen asap

I’ve been saying this for years.

Boost and fav if you agree!

The world has recently become less democratic.

Many more people have democratic rights than in the past. Some of this progress has recently been reversed.

Russia must pay for its horrific crimes.

We will work with the ICC and help set up a specialised court to try Russia’s crimes.

With our partners, we will make sure that Russia pays for the devastation it caused, with the frozen funds of oligarchs and assets of its central bank
