Forget Greenland, #Ireland is the European island the U.S. already owns.
And when it comes to #BigTech, Dublin is Trump’s Trojan horse.
High time for a centralised #EU agency to police all European tech laws, including the #GDPR, #DMA, #DSA.

"How long can Europe hold the line if we don’t take defending our democracy as serious as defending our territory?"
#Democracy won't defend itself - we must.
With Trump, Putin and techbros teaming up, it is time we stand up to defend democracy while we still can.
Thanks to all who joined today's #HandsOFF Our Democracy protest in #Brussels!
