  If #Spain had been led by the #PP, the attack on the border in #Ceuta would have prompted an outpouring of solidarity from right-wing #EU leaders. Instead, because Spain is lead by a left-wing government, all we got was pathetic political point-scoring and lies about a threat to #Schengen The reaction of some #EU countries was a shameful abandonment of EU solidarity at a time when it was most needed. #EUpol #Espana

  US before: what if we arm the Taliban to fight the Soviets? US now: what if we give a brutal theocracy everything it needs to build nukes so it can fight another brutal theocracy. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jul/23/what-is-the-us-saudi-arabia-nuclear-power-deal-explained

  Just watched the finale of #StarCity (the #ForAllMankind spin-off) and damn, if it isn't the best piece of television this year, I don't know what is. Literally gave me goosebumps.

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@Tutanota/116889735116919744 This is not accurate. Chat control 1 has not passed. It still requires approval from the Council. It is currently unclear whether they will approve the parliament version (which was amended today to ban scanning of encrypted messages), or push for more negotiations, meaning another vote will be required in Parliament. #ChatControl

  It's always the same with the far-right: Freedom of Speech, but only for us! Far-right French mayor causes outrage after cancelling play about migrant. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jul/02/far-right-french-mayor-florian-azema-bans-staging-of-passeport-play-about-migrant

  The good news: @europeansleeper's Night Train from Prague to Brussels was comfy. I got a good continuous 5 hours sleep, and the train is sold out and completely full. Bad news: @db Netz did not properly register the train path and reserve the track so we are now two hours late. This service has been running for two years, now. #trains #NightTrain #sleeper #couchette #europeansleeper

  I am exhausted by the moronic behaviour of western academics who say nothing about Russia's bombing and murder of tens of the thousands of civilians, but scream the moment Ukraine fights back ‘Morale bombing’ Moscow is not justified | Ukraine | The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jun/25/morale-bombing-moscow-is-not-justified

  What #Ukraine is doing in #Crimea now is beyond incredible. They have systemically hit refineries and fuel transport infrastructure. They have hit all the bridges entering Crimea from Southern Ukraine. They have hit all the ferries transporting goods in and out of Crimea. And today they hit the air defences that protect the Kerch Bridge. They are making Crimea intenable for the Russians, and isolating Russian Units in Occupied Ukraine. #RussiaUkraineWar

  RE: https://eupolicy.social/@jmaris/116752775146906929 I take it back. I just had an argument in the airport with a British man who insisted EU border controls exist to "punish" the UK. When I reminded him that you have to be in the European Union to enjoy the benefits of it, he shouted "do you think I'm stupid". I declined to answer for obvious reasons. #brexit

  RE: https://mstdn.social/@pravda/116752251602718523 I visited the Pechersk Lavra in 2024. It is one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited. I hope they can save the numerous works of art inside and the building. It stood in Kyiv before Russia even existed. This is yet another attempt to destroy Ukrainian culture and identity. #Ukraine #Kyiv #Lavra #Russia #EUpol #RussiaUkraineWar #UNESCO

  The US markets: *are massively overinflated and irrational in deciding company value* Economists: wow, there is a big bubble and the stock market is inflated. The US markets: *adds spaceX inflating the bubble even more* This will end poorly #Economy #SpaceX #USpol #Musk

  The chairman of the German far-right party #AfD was seen leaving the Russian embassy in Prague. How can a party that are so clearly controlled by #Russia be allowed to continue to operate? #AFDverbot now! https://denikn.cz/2092589/hvezda-nemecke-afd-se-objevila-na-ruske-ambasade-v-praze/?rtm_source=follow_authors&rtm_medium=email&rtm_campaign=mnt-email.author.article.new-11.06.2026-23&rtm_content=173791

  Years of fear-mongering about what the #Mercosur deal would mean for our food supply, and then reality hits: when Brazilian meat doesn't meet our standards, we don't import it. #EUpol

  In the small town of "La Flèche", whose far right mayor recently removed the European flag from the town hall, activists plastered the front of the town hall in European flags on Europe day. #EUpol #EU

  Schuman Metro Station is my favourite in Brussels. It has a train track (and station) running straight through it diagonally on a viaduct, Natural light, and EU flags.

  RE: https://eupolicy.social/@jmaris/116542203416348512 We chose Europe because there is a "we": a collective identity that remains hidden from us until we come together, but becomes irreversibly evident when we do. That "we" is our greatest strength. 🇪🇺 #EUpol #EuropeDay

  @paranormal_distribution@fosstodon.org @EUCommission The reason they didn't post it is because the report you cite is not from the European Commission. Please learn to read before throwing accusations around.

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@benroyce/116538946427999752 This post so perfectly summarises my feelings on this issue. As someone who has worked as a lawmaker, I fear we spend far too much time demonising reasonable people who we can work and compromise with, and not enough time fighting the people who are really a threat.

  @paranormal_distribution@fosstodon.org We are 100% on the same page about that! This report is clearly politically motivated.

  On Europe Day, I wanted to write about the experience that made the European Project so important to me, and why I think it's our greatest strength in the challenging world we live in.

  Side point on #ChatControl: When I worked on the law in the European Parliament, in the face of questionably legal, and highly problematic behavior by DG HOME, I prepared a whitepaper on why it was such a terrible Idea. As it is in the public interest, I have decided to make that white paper public. https://jmaris.me/chatcontrol_issues.pdf
