The European Parliament’s @EP_Justice #LIBE Committee had a golden opportunity in the #MediaFreedomAct to ban use of spyware against journalists. Instead it has legalised it! Not good enough. Allowing its use against anybody is outrageous enough, but against journalists is🤯🤯🤯! https://t.co/JoMtOYM5EU

Friends, I'm running for the #EuropeanParliament! You didn't expect that? Then guess with whom... with @dieLinke! Why I, a movement ecologist without party membership, am drawn to Brussels and why we have to revive the German Left Party? Let me explain: https://t.co/yG9yTgBjLx

We joined activists today at the EU-CELAC counter-summit calling for trade justice.
We remind political leaders gathering this week in Brussels about their duty to protect the planet and its people.

#OTD 1936, a fascist coup began against democracy in Spain.
Today, we remember those who - from all over the world - came together in International Brigades to defend freedom & solidarity.
Their courage still inspires us to continue the fight for a better world.

Wealth concentration stems mostly from family inheritance, financial speculation, rent &amp; resource expropriation, tax dodging and building enough political clout to ensure market power.
It's a scandal.

As well as exacerbating inequality, such tax wars do nothing for the real economy &amp; end up biting us all in the ass.
