EU Member States are serious about protecting the International Criminal Court and a world governed by international law. In The Hague, I met ICC President Tomoko Akane to convey the EU’s strong support for the Court, its judges, and their work.

The ICC is the cornerstone of the international criminal justice system. It prosecutes individuals responsible for the most serious crimes under international law.

Update: #US now offically impose new sanctions on the #ICC. The ICC refers in a statement to the sanctions as an "assault on the rule of law and the very foundations of the international legal order". The moral disgrace of the US' actions is unprecedented. www.reuters.com/world/us-imp...

No One Gives A Fuck About October 7 No one cares. They used to, but then Israel spent three years showing the world why October 7 happened in the first place. After witnessing the cruelty and savagery of the state of Israel, people get it now. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/no-one-giv...

Dobro vedeti v luči odobritve v Sloveniji, ki izgleda bolj politična, kot temelječa na testih. "If FSD is as safe as Tesla says, the fix is simple. Publish the European customer data, let RDW release its test results, and let independent researchers check the work." electrek.co/2026/10/08/t...

Member states egoism is why we can't have nice things. Germany is a particularly frequent offender. "Berlin refused to give up local supervision of its stock exchange behemoth Deutsche Börse over fears of job losses and ceding power to a bloc-wide entity"

🚨🚨 @coe.int of Europe said yesterday that the #US formally notified it that it would leave the Group of States against Corruption, or #GRECO. Only two other countries have left GRECO before — #Russia and #Belarus. The fall of the #US on the world scene is striking. apnews.com/article/trum...

EU lawmakers have called for the Commission to forbid European firms and banks from applying U.S. sanctions, as Washington weighs sanctioning the International Criminal Court over its actions on Israel.

Israel has succesfully defended itself from most of the buildings in Gaza. In the other hand, sattelites are probably antisemitic.

This is important. More such initiatives across Europe please! 💪🇪🇺 Strategic autonomy in support of international law and human rights. itsfoss.com/news/netherl...

13 EU states want a 12-month pause on new laws, citing red tape - bsky.app/profile/huet... 💡 Better idea: Regulations instead of Directives. Directives mean 27 national implementations. Regulations apply directly EU-wide. Copy-paste-done. For competitive Single Market and 28th regime.

Če vas kdo vpraša, kaj dobimo od #RTVSLO za ta dnar... Precej impresivno, v bistvu.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

This is insanity. Irish Presidency's draft text of amendments to the GDPR allows training & operation of any AI without safeguards & tough legal basis (under "legitimate interest" a company claims what it is doing is OK. Up to you to find out and challenge in court). This is a free pass for US Tech.

The two sides want to move as close as legally possible without Canada becoming an EU member. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is expected to unveil the initiative on September 16 with Carney addressing the European Parliament the following day. 2/2

Also, as a Jewish person, I’m quite frankly burnt out by the Israeli govt’s shameless and relentless conflation of Jews and Israel Yes, there are legions of antisemites who will always try and disguise their antisemitism as criticism of Israel - they are awful What’s also true, is the…

The US will now side with Morocco as a strategic partner. And a joint Israel-Morocco military base near Ceuta and a joint US-Morocco military base on the border with Western Sahara. 2/2
