If you are in the EU and you are pissed about them making stupid decisions like making >15% sulfuric acid illegal to possess without a permit and a "legitimate purpose", please take the time to fill out this consultation. Without strong pushback there is a real risk that doing chemistry will become even more difficult and legally risky when they expand the list of restricted substances. #chemistry #eu #chemiverse #EC #europeancomission

I want to puke.

FRONTEX* has published propaganda material about deportations. For kids. Happy families get deported by happy police officers. And there are nice activities included, like drawing your friends and family.

🤯

This orwellian piece is available in several languages (FR, DE, PT, ES, EN):

* Europe's border police force, responsible for thousands of deaths and human rights violations

Frontex poster about deportation for kids. Happy families go to the airport and make an exciting travel accompanied by happy officers. Yay! /s

A page from the activity book of the "toolbox for children in return".
Top: A smiling dark-skinned kid with long black hair receives a paper plane, there are speech-bubbles around her to be filled out with "wishes from your frinds".
Bottom: A smiling light-skinned kid with brown hair holds a letter in their hands. Besides is the title:
"Friends want to keep in contact with" and some space to write down names and contact details of your friends.
This is no sarcasm. The document is authentic. Fuck racist Frontex.

Based. Based post of the #European #Comission.

Єдине, що стало зрозумілим з виступу Урсули фон дер Ляєн, в #EU немає жодних планів протидії панмудізму, який розпочав цей #trump. Зустрілися "гєостратєгі", для повного натюрморту не вистачає ще одного — з #laptyekanda

А з іншого боку, коли згадуєш "правило ЖЕК-у", одразу заспокоюєшся. Нагадуємо це правило: "Якщо в ЖЕК-у працюють одні дебіли, чому ти вирішив, що в #EuropeanComission працюють таланти управління?"

Ante el ridículo que el PP y sus amigos nazis están protagonizando en la audiencia de Ribera, la mesa del Parlamento corta, por sistema, las intervenciones de quienes no están respetando el reglamento. Las respuestas de Ribera están siendo, todas, en clave europea.

The #EuropeanComission apparently recently cut €27 million in #freeSoftware funding. Ouch!

Why did this happen? Is it because Europeans voted hard-right? (which happened because young voters were afraid the left would not create enough jobs)

NGOs slap Commission with lawsuits over 2030 climate targets, ‘green’ shipping and aviation https://www.euractiv.com/section/energy-environment/news/ngos-slap-commission-with-lawsuits-over-2030-climate-targets-green-shipping-and-aviation/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #CANEurope #climatelitigation #EuropeanComission #GLAN

The EU_ "But it is not our fault that corrupt Sudanese Generals started a horrible civil war."

Fatin Abbas: "But I’m also angry at an international community—including the EU—which tacitly legitimized these known war criminals in the transition to democracy. Sudanese civil society warned from the beginning of the post-Bashir transition that neither Hemedti nor Burhan could be trusted or included in ruling. “No negotiation, no partnership, no legitimation” was the motto of civil society groups. But Hemedti and Burhan remained in place largely because the US, Britain, the EU and Middle Eastern powers validated them in the transition to democratic rule, a transition that the generals then proceeded to sabotage and destroy."

"I’m also incensed at Ursula von der Leyen and an EU leadership that is sending billions of Euros to autocratic regimes in North Africa and the Middle East—to Egypt, Tunisia and Libya—to crack down on desperate refugees fleeing war before they reach Europe. With the help of EU funds, refugees are being dumped in the desert to die of thirst and starvation. People are dying in Sudan and dying trying to get out."

Some good news:

“Today, the [European] Commission has informed #Meta of its preliminary findings that its “pay or consent” advertising model fails to comply with the Digital Markets Act (DMA). In the Commission's preliminary view, this binary choice forces users to consent to the combination of their personal data and fails to provide them a less personalised but equivalent version of Meta's social networks.” #EuropeanComission
