We urge the Parliament of #Slovakia to reject a proposed constitutional amendment package that would ban adoption by same-sex couples, severely restrict children’s access to comprehensive sexuality education, and make legal gender recognition virtually impossible.

[Likely unpopular opinion following Commission v. Malta (citizenship)] Being very attached to academic freedom and regardless of the desired outcome, I’m increasingly irritated by scholars who fail to acknowledge the hands that feed them—or the vocabulary used. 1/4

🔥 This judgment undoubtedly constitutes a landmark ruling. Its significance lies not only in the outcome—which, contrary to Advocate General Collins’s Opinion— finds Malta in breach of EU law, but also in several important aspects of the Court’s reasoning. 1/6

How can we get people to fly less?
Flying is bad for the climate, but many people find it hard to resist cheap tickets to tropical beaches. Yannick van den Berg researched what solution European law can provide.

NEW Why Donald Trump is not really "transactional" but anti-transactional A contract lawyer's perspective on how Trump uses deals and deal-making By me Personal blog: davidallengreen.com/2025/02/why-... Substack: emptycity.substack.com/p/why-donald...
There is nothing inherently weak in this anti-transactional approach: and indeed it has proved successful for Trump, both politically and commercially.

And, yes, he does deploy the rhetoric of “the deal”.

But this only makes him transactional in the same way an atheist going on about “God” makes them a Christian. There is instead a positive disbelief in the words and concepts being used.

And so each supposed agreement with Trump is a mere marker for the next use (and abuse) of leverage: few if any transactions will ever be transacted. Things will move on, there will be new exertions of power, and new things demanded.
