English paper-pieced hexagons of red and orange fabric flowers with yellow-patterned centers attached to each other with white-on-white on fabric. A few of the flowers are not yet attached. The fabric is wrinkled because. A laptop keyboard and black ball of fluff is in the background. The fluff is my cat, she wasn’t interested in modeling today.

A cheerful way to spend this chilly mud-season day. At this rate, this quilt will take probably 12 years to finish. Maybe by then this field of rainbow flowers will only be a rainbow, and not need to be a sign to others

No doubt about the double-standard!

* It may be harder to find the info in English but there are longterm connections shown between the Heritage Foundation and Friedrich Merz, same #EPP party-group who also will not act to loose his #AfD far right partners in Germany. #oligarchpoliticians

Orbán wird ausgebuht, poltert = #Merz

Journalisten der #hvg erinnern sich an Zeichen des Endes der Sowjetunion = Regime nicht mehr haltbar.

Opponent Péter Magyar arbeitet und stimmt unterdessen getreu der #EPP u. Manfred Weber mit Orbán und Rechtsaussen im EU Parlament

PS: the worst aspect is that Péter Magyar is part of the same #EPP and acts in line with Manfred Weber, working and voting together with Orbán and the #AfD in the EU Parlament. #oligarchpolitics

= We need an EU EuroMaidan

Don't ask "EU", ask Manfred Weber, the German Bavarian chief of the "Christian Conservative" #EPP who keep working & voting with Orbán and all Far-Right parties, since together they have the majority. They do the work of Putin and Trump, just like oligarch politicians did and do in Ukraine.

Loved stitching up this #epp pincushion today. Gotta use up all the Philip Jacobs scraps! KFC scraps are why I *started* epp. 😸 #quilting www.etsy.com/listing/8268... #englishpaperpiecing #quilting #sewing #handsewing #handmade

MEPs back plans for ‘return hubs’, raising fears of ‘human rights black holes’ European parliament votes in favour of sending refused asylum seekers to offshore hubs, in ‘historic setback for refugee rights’

People with no right to stay in the EU could be detained for up to two years or sent to offshore centres under plans voted for by the EP on Thursday - Alliance of #EPP (CDU) and #AfD MEPs, a further cooperation of Centrists with the #FarRight www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m... #FriedhelmMerz

2. Just like the entire EPP, I'm afraid that Merz, doing Trump's bidding, has even less interest in acting against Orbán or the AfD, on the contrary, they keep collaborating and voting together, rather than ban them #ManfredWeber #EPP #PeterMagyar ⬇️ @danielfreund.bsky.social @hofreiter.bsky.social

Conservative Party in Britain, the VVD in the Netherlands, the Christian Democrats in Belgium… when are they finally going to learn?
The #EPP should fire Weber out of self-protection, if not they commit political suicide and hand their votes to the far right.

We strongly condemn this action by the #EPP, which comes in a broader context that has been developing over the last years. We therefore call for EPP MEPs to stop adopting far-right positions and positions contrary to #EU values.

The fire wall in the EUParliament is quite different from that in Germany. In 🇩🇪, the #AfD is the strongest opposition party. At #EU level, all three far-right groups combined (including the AfD) account for just a quarter of the seats. So, no compelling reason for #EPP to work with the far right.

Surprise, surprise!

"Leaked communications have revealed that the centre-right European People's Party #EPP, the largest group in the #EuropeanParliament, has cooperated more closely with #far-right parties than previously known." #CDU #AfD

Venäjän tarkoitus on ollut hidastaa vihreää siirtymää länsimaissa ja kehittyvissä. #Trump ja republikaanit sekä Israel ovat #Putin hyödyllisiä idiootteja. Euroopassa populistiset konservatiivipuolueet kuten #Persut ja #Ruotsidemokraatit. EU:ssa #ECR, EP, ESN jopa #EPP
