The image is a circular infographic with a title in bold black ‘Reasons why we need Gender Equality.’ It features a donut chart divided into four segments with different percentages but all with the same reason that is labelled "Because we are all equal". Each segment has a distinct colour: 35% in pink, 20% in lavender, 15% in yellow, 30% in purple. There is a European Commission logo in the bottom right corner. The background is textured purple.

Gender equality is gaining speed.

In the last five years, we’ve already:

✅ Strengthened equal pay
✅ Promoted women on boards
✅ Improved protections against violence

Twitter: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO) YouTube video by LastWeekTonight

John Oliver's Show covered what's happening with X/Twitter. How it's algorithms are designed to push right-wing content, and how people don't just get away with, but get paid for inciting violence and hate speech. His advice? Leave X.

A smartphone screen displaying a red 112 emergency call prompt above a numeric keypad; caption reads 'One number, anywhere in the EU' with a EU flag in the bottom-right corner.

Today is European 112 Day 🇪🇺

📞 112 is the single emergency number across the EU

It’s free, works for all emergencies, and in many countries, help is available in multiple languages.

One number. All emergencies.

The image features a cutout of a military drone and a ground-based military surveillance or targeting system with a camera or sensor. The background has a gradient from blue to green. The text on the image reads "PROTECT WHAT MATTERS." with a subheading "EUROPEAN DEFENCE." The European Union flag is also visible in the top right corner.

European security is evolving.

To protect our energy grids and public spaces, we propose a new Action Plan on drone security with €400 million in investments.

We’re establishing a new EU Counter-Drone Centre of Excellence and leveraging AI and 5G infrastructure to detect risks in real time.

I'm proud to say I've started a personal social media project, over on #Mastodon.
The plan: to study for the #EPSO exams and create content about it, spreading EU general knowledge and making learning more fun. #EPSOPrep

We are opening an investigation into Grok because we believe that X may have breached the DSA.

We have seen antisemitic content, non-consensual deepfakes of women, and child sexual abuse material.

In Europe, no company will make money by violating our fundamental rights.
