I like this piece a lot. #MAGA laugh at "pwning the libs", and shouting back with "but what about #democracy" won't move them. They need to be engaged by concepts they care about:

"De Niro also suggested it was key to reach out to #Trump’s supporters “with respect”. “They’re not stupid, and we must not condemn them for making a stupid choice … Let’s not talk about democracy. Democracy may be our holy grail, but to others it is just a word, a concept, and in their embrace of Trump, they’ve already turned their backs on it. Let’s talk about right and wrong. Let’s talk about humanity. Let’s talk about kindness. Security for our world. Safety for our families. Decency. Let’s welcome them back.”

And #democracy isn't undermined by the #microtargeting from #socialmedia - #Trump /Brexit/Romania etc

I usually oppose #AI generated posters, but this one... this one is amazing. Honestly.

#Europe stay strong! There is only #oneEurope. Fight for our #western #civilisation of #democracy!

City of Amsterdam takes important steps towards digital sovereignty:

digital sovereignty as condition in procurement;

open, independent, non-US software;
new social media and communication strategy

It's a nice thought, but does anyone think we'll have another real election?

Europe’s deepening “democratic recession”. This sounds ominous.

And the examples from places like Italy, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, Bulgaria etc in Liberties report covered in The Guardian are worrying.

Garry Kasparov: "If you don't stop a president from acting like a dictator, you'll soon have one. Trust me. A president cannot legally stop the spending of money or shut down activities & agencies established by Congress any more than he can spend or open new agencies himself." #democracy #politics

Look at these Canadians and Canadian retailers! They can't even give away US products for rebates due to customer boycotts, so now they've managed to rework their supply chain getting close to 0% US products.

You can, we can do this too, everywhere in the world. Boycott billionaires, boycott Trump, boycott disinformation.

#Trump is now going after the #Jan6 panel, claiming that #Biden’s pardons for its members are 'void.'

#Democracy in the #US is eroding fast.

Is it wrong to think
and also to hope
that we all in this world
should pull together?

To show
that we can all see
what is going on
and that we can all just
say no

No

Boycott #Amazon
Boycott #Google
Boycott #Meta
Boycott #Tesla

Only together can we break these shackles
that they have imposed on us and that we have been wearing for too long

We have this power
They have none over us

"Tens of thousands rallied in Budapest against Prime Minister Viktor Orban, supporting the Tisza party led by Peter Magyar. The opposition aims to end Orban's rule and align Hungary with a strong Europe":
