Clean air is one of the EU’s quietest achievements: public health, science, regulation, and collective responsibility working in the background.

Sometimes, the strongest proof that policy matters is not drama.

It is the ordinary miracle of breathing safely.

@REA And in these days, we have to fight for the freedom and independence of both! BTW, a clickable link for the projects in the gif in a post would be helpful! (Links in Gifs are not clickable and blind people don't find the names in your alt text)

Exactly today you shouldn't boost or write about Trump but about the #nokings #protests - to give *them* a voice! https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/mar/28/no-kings-protests-trump

BTW, on Bsky you get the first images/videos, Mastodon is not so much on that topic.

Thank you #Italy! 💐 Still no end results but it seems that democracy has won over the referendum. Meloni had tried to endanger the constitution https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2026/mar/23/local-eu-elections-slovenia-italy-france-latest-updates-news?CMP=share_btn_url&page=with%3Ablock-69c15e678f08c1f048b002f3#block-69c15e678f08c1f048b002f3

And: "Sky TG24 reported that a number of demonstrations calling for Meloni’s resignation (don’t count on it) were expected to take place across Italy this afternoon, including in Rome, Milan, Naples, Turin and Bologna."

Resistance protesters gathered outside the ICE detention facility in Burlington, Massachusetts, protesting against ICE cruelty and standing up for the dignity and rights of immigrant communities.

We stand with our fellow #BlueCrew members holding the line in Burlington, Massachusetts.

Drop ✊ and keep sending strength to everyone standing up for justice and humanity.

🚨 Outrage in Tennessee: lawmakers have introduced a bill that would allow women who have abortions to be charged with murder and face the death penalty. 😡

This is not justice it’s cruelty disguised as law.
When reproductive rights are treated as crimes, democracy fails.
BlueCrew, we must speak out for bodily autonomy and human rights.

Trump claims he’s transferring $10 billion in U.S. taxpayer dollars to his so-called “Board of Peace” a private entity he created for his own enrichment.

Don’t forget he said he’d invest America’s taxpayer dollars in America while President Biden was sending aid to Ukraine to defend democracy. Turns out, Trump only invests in himself.

#BlueCrew #ProudBlue #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #trumpLiesMatter #TruthMatters #DemocracyMatters

Rep. James Talarico said it best: “The only minority destroying America is the billionaires.”

Hard to argue with that and even harder to ignore the truth. 💙✊

JB Pritzker: “Donald Trump is a danger to the future of our country and our democracy. I helped to build a Holocaust museum. Authoritarians don’t go away. They get more powerful if you don’t stand up to them early.”

Repost if you agree with Governor JB Pritzker. Standing up to authoritarians starts now. 💙✊

BREAKING: British police have arrested former U.K. ambassador to the U.S., Peter Mandelson, in a misconduct probe tied to his connection with Jeffrey Epstein. Investigators say files suggest he shared sensitive government info with Epstein about 15 years ago.

No one is above the law not here, not anywhere. 💙✊

Rep. Ro Khanna: What bothers me is that Trump's DOJ is not even willing to investigate. They should, of course, prosecute people involved. We will not restore trust in this country if people believe a few rich and powerful people are above the law

Thank you for calling it out and standing with every American who believes in justice for all. 💙✊

Thank you, Governor Gavin Newsom , for the reminder.

Trump took hard-earned money straight from working families and the American people. It’s time for accountability and time for him to pay up. 💙✊

🚨 Another one wakes up! A 3-time Trump voter just called into CSPAN saying he’s done with Trump and all his lies.

We told them and we’re still warning them. Glad some are waking up, because truth always wins in the end. 💙✊

BlueCrew community: What does election integrity really mean to you, and how should leaders respond when they lose?

#BlueCrew #ProudBlue #ElectionIntegrity #DemocracyMatters #CivicDiscussion #StayInformed #PoliticalDialogue

This is fact. This entire administration from the Liar-in-Chief on down is filled with corruption. Trump even nominated Charles Kushner, a man convicted of 18 felonies, to be his Ambassador to France and Monaco. Crime families shouldn’t run a democracy. 💙

#BlueCrew #ProudBlue #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #TruthMatters #DemocracyMatters

This is spot on! 🎯 The hypocrisy is staggering MAGA will excuse anything as long as it comes from their “chosen one.” Truth still matters, and accountability still matters. 💙✊

Two days ago, the “peace monks” completed their 108-day walk from Texas to Washington, D.C.🌞
The sun came out and so did countless people tired of the ugliness and division.

NOW: “They’ve declared a war!” — crowds erupt outside the Stonewall Inn after Trump ordered the Pride flag removed in NYC. 🌈

“We don’t need permission from elected officials — we’ll raise it ourselves.”

At 51, Karen Stollon drove two hours in the freezing cold to hear Barack Obama speak. That day changed her life — she found purpose in community, volunteering in Iowa, bringing meals, and knocking on doors through snowstorms. Now 70, she still carries that dream: hope isn’t passive, it’s something we create every day. 💙

An excellent analytic comparison between resistance to ICE now, and resistance in Boston to The Fugitive Slave Act 175 years ago.

This is one of a 3 part series Mark.

I would note this, from https://AwarenessWheel.com workbook:

Note:

• Force & Falsify - overly used by administration, ICE, DOJ, and some key, formerly “journalistic outlets”

• Flee & Flounder - could be seen as what the unaware do in response to the above, to no one’s benefit.

Seek Awareness.
Share Awareness.
Work Together.

Jon Ossoff just delivered what every #BlueCrew needs to hear truth, courage, and compassion in the face of Trump’s cruelty.

Rob Reiner spoke the truth when it mattered most. Democracy is fragile, and silence is never neutral. His voice, courage, and commitment to freedom will endure. He’ll be missed. 🕊️

"Do we have a government OF the people, FOR the people, and BY the people? Or is ours a government of the Christians, for the Christians, and by the Christians?
That is our battle. Right now, America is in a desperate fight against Christian nationalism, a political theology that is an existential threat to our republic." ~ Andrew L. Seidel

I’ve been so deep in prepping the launch of my rebranded cloud services this past week that I completely missed most of the news… and wow.

How is it even possible that the U.S. is sliding into full-on authoritarianism—and it’s just happening, business as usual? Shutting down independent news outlets, canceling TV shows that don’t align, and no real uproar?

It’s surreal.
Anyway, back to debugging… I guess. 😶‍🌫️
