Europäische Bürgerinitiative - Tax The Rich
Mit dieser Initiative wird die Europäische Kommission aufgefordert, eine europäische Steuer auf große Vermögen einzuführen. Diese Steuer würde eine neue Eigenmittelquelle der Union darstellen, deren Einnahmen es ermöglichen würden, die europäische Politik des ökologischen und sozialen Übergangs sowie der Entwicklungszusammenarbeit in Kofinanzierung mit den Mitgliedstaaten auszuweiten und zu verstetigen. Dieser Beitrag wäre für den Kampf gegen den Klimawandel und die Bekämpfung von Ungleichheiten bestimmt und würde eine gerechtere Beteiligung der europäischen Bürger an diesen Zielen ermöglichen...

“A Strong Man for Troubled Times”
78-year-old, 34-count convicted felon and adjudicated rapist Donald Trump was rallying some White Christian Nationalists (at Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA, so I think the description fits) to vote for him, and let it slip out:The former president urged attendees at the faith-themed event to vote — “Vote early. Vote absentee. Vote on Election Day. I don’t care how, but you have to get out and vote,” he said — and promised that in four years, “we’ll have it fixed so good you’re not going to have to vote.”
This is not his first rodeo. He’s said this a few times now, and never explains it, and more alarmingly, the press moves on and doesn’t ask about it. Here it is in context:Trump: You have to get out and vote. You won’t have to do it anymore. Four years, it will be fixed, it will be fine. You won’t have to vote anymore.. In four years, you won’t have to vote again. pic.twitter.com/DBGcBr3Wht

The modern Olympics started in 1896, founded by Pierre de Coubertin, a French aristocrat. He had conflicting motives. On one hand, his idea for a global sports competition stemmed from anxieties about French masculinity following a war defeat. He saw sports as a way to masculinize French men.

Gatherings of tens of thousands of Vice President Harris’ supporters are raising millions of dollars for her campaign — and it’s happening on Zoom.🔎 Zoom in: On Thursday night, a “White Women: Answer the Call” Zoom event organized by activist Shannon Watts was attended by 200,000 participants and raised over $8.5 million, according to organizers.
- Why it matters: It’s a new era of virtual rallies. These online events are cheaper to organize, easier to attend, and will be powerful tools for fundraising and voter outreach this fall, Axios’ Jacob Knutson writes.
👀 What’s next: The virtual blitz continues. Harris is set to give a virtual address at a Gen Z summit hosted by Voters of Tomorrow this afternoon.
- That came after two Zoom calls — hosted by Win With Black Women and Win With Black Men — earlier in the week, which together saw well over 300,000 attendees and brought in millions.
- The group White Dudes for Harris will hold a Zoom call Monday night.
In the days since Vice President Kamala Harris launched her presidential bid, more than 170,000 volunteers have joined her cause, her campaign says.
