9 Nov is called Germany's Schicksalstag, Day of Fate. It's the day of the Kaiser's abdication (1918), Hitler's Munich Putsch (1923), the Nazis' "Kristallnacht" pogrom (1938), the fall of the Berlin Wall (1989). A good day to remember that democracy should'nt be taken for granted.
I really hope this is true.

All 27 European Union members would welcome the UK rejoining the bloc, the president of Cyprus has said, describing the possibility as a “win-win situation”.

I’m fed up with certain politicians saying we need to “respect” the result of the 2016 Brexit referendum.
A decision by a narrow majority 10yrs ago that turned out to be a disaster does not have to be respected.
If a democracy cannot change its mind it ceases to be a democracy.
What a bad idea.
If they ever rejoin, it needs to be WITHOUT opt-outs.
EXCLUSIVE: Brussels would be flexible on letting Britain stay out of the euro and the Schengen area if it applied to rejoin the EU, two EU officials have told POLITICO.

Es scheint sich in Deutschland eine Parallelgesellschaft gebildet zu haben, in der es normalisiert ist, Menschen aufgrund ihres Namens zu verurteilen.
Wieso diese Art von Rassismus auch nur annähernd salonfähig ist, wird sich mir nie erschließen.
Formats like this where teams race across Europe through different checkpoints towards a specific finish line make me a bit upset there's no easier access to European railways (yet). One ticket, all trains. Why is this not a thing yet?

Gabriel Attal is a bright star on the political horizon of France. 💪
Nos grands-parents ont fait le marché commun, nos parents la monnaie commune. À notre génération de faire les États-Unis d'Europe.
Pour investir ensemble dans les défis de demain et devenir l'économie la plus forte au monde.

Next up: EU offers US statehood to Puerto Rico.
BREAKING: US reportedly offers Ukraine EU membership if they drop NATO bid
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Reported US proposal per The Economist would see Ukraine get an EU membership path & investment package for dropping NATO bid. The US cannot offer or guarantee EU membership - that requires unanimous EU approval. No agreement announced.

Proud that there is no death penalty in Europe and that no one can even propose the madness of broadcasting it live. #Hegseth

I assume those in the UK who still support Brexit will have no fear of another referendum because now the British people have seen the reality of leaving the EU they will overwhelmingly support Brexit.
Surely that's right?
David Zühlke (Draco) 🇺🇦🇪🇺 retweeted
Our reasonable conditions for the UK to rejoin the EU:
- Make tabloid editors recite the Act of Contrition on TV
- Drive on the right side of the road
- Revoke pub privileges for Brexiteers
- Adopt the €
- Add Kaja Kallas to the line of succession to the throne

No one alive can argue for Brexit, no one can name a single Brexit benefit, not a single one. No one can say that a functioning democracy is forbidden to change its mind.
