2025 : une année très « fiscale », mais pas très « justice fiscale »
Le nouveau gouvernement a d’ores et déjà fixé des orientations inquiétantes, en se donnant comme objectif prioritaire la réduction des déficits publics, tant pour l’État que pour la Sécurité sociale.Attac France
🗣️ Aux orientations austéritaires réaffirmées par le gouvernement Bayrou, nous opposons l’impératif de #justicefiscale pour financer les urgences sociales et climatiques.
Pour donner plus de force à notre combat, adhérez ou ré-adhérez à Attac en 2025 ! 🔥

US #ClimateDenial group working with European far-right parties

That ^^^ is a collaboration with Europe's far right.
Meanwhile,
"The centre-right #EPP had already launched a campaign to reverse key Green Deal legislation like tougher car emissions standards.
Now the group has doubled down on its deregulation agenda, describing regulations on corporate sustainability reporting and due diligence, and a related border carbon tax and EU green investment rulebook as “excessive and burdensome”."

Infiltrating the European parliament:
"For the past two years, representatives of the [US] thinktank have been working with MEPs and have spoken in the European parliament to campaign against bills, including the nature restoration law.
They have sought to cast doubt on established #climate science, and connected climate-sceptic MEPs from Poland, Hungary and Austria to help coordinate campaigns against proposed environmental laws."

Bigger, badder DDoSes are flooding the Internet. Dismal IoT security is largely to blame.
arstechnica.com/security/2025/…
I think companies that create shitty IOT products should be held liable for botnet attacks.
Then again that is going to be difficult in practice as most companies reside in china.
Maybe a EU trade standard could help here? Idk.
