janhoglund<p>“Part of Trump’s fight with the Supreme Court is an attempt to demonstrate dominance…, but institutions, as well as the courts, are standing up to him.

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"The thing about Europe is that it lacks an absolutist attachment to free speech. See how judges in Romania and France derailed the careers of hard-right politicians, who have convinced themselves (with little evidence) that it was their ideology rather than their lawbreaking that got them in trouble. Yet to many Europeans the idea that free expression is under threat seems odd. Europeans can say almost anything they want, both in theory and in practice. Europe’s universities never became hotbeds of speech-policing by one breed of culture warrior or the other. You can express a controversial view on any European campus (outside Hungary, at least) without fear of losing your tenure or your grant. No detention centres await foreign students who hold the wrong views on Gaza; news outfits are not sued for interviewing opposition politicians. Law firms are not compelled to kow-tow to presidents as penance for having worked for their political foes.<br>(...)<br>The thing about Europe is that it is like an open-air museum, yesterday’s continent. Is its model even sustainable? A good question—one that presupposes the European model is worth defending. It is a place blessed with walkable cities, long life expectancies and vaccinated kids who do not need to be trained to dodge school shooters. Charlemagne’s realm is a place of many flaws, lots of them enduring. But in their own plodding way, Europeans have created a place where they are guaranteed rights to what others yearn for: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."</p><p><a href="https://www.economist.com/europe/2025/04/10/the-thing-about-europe-its-the-actual-land-of-the-free-now" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">economist.com/europe/2025/04/1</span><span class="invisible">0/the-thing-about-europe-its-the-actual-land-of-the-free-now</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Europe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Europe</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/FreeSpeech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeSpeech</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/FreedomOfSpeech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreedomOfSpeech</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/QualityOfLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>QualityOfLife</span></a></p>

Kalvin Carefour Johnny<p>I'm sure those people in the category you mentioned will be offended and will try to befriend me, telling me everything to brainwash me into following their identity or ideologies. I had one friend like that. They played the victim and wanted me to vote for ******n *******l. I'm glad I didn't. At that time, I was a novice in politics and I voted for anyone except what my friend requested, ******n *******l. For many reasons, I couldn't be myself with that friend; since then, we have drifted apart and are no longer friends.
