WEBINAR: The EU is quietly reshaping how laws are made. Omnibus legislation, once an exception, risks becoming the norm, with less public consultations, fewer impact assessments, and reduced public scrutiny. Through a new Call for Evidence on “Better Regulation,” the Commission proposes formalising these practices in the name of competitiveness and volatile geopolitical environment. Join The Good Lobby to unpack what’s at stake, and how civil society, experts, and policymakers can respond, before the consultation deadline on February 4. Register: thegoodlobby.eu/are-omnibus-la…

Dignity, security, respect—every worker deserves them. No exceptions. The ILO works for #DecentWork because human rights should not be compromised.

Solidarity with our colleagues from @eduint who were blocked from entering Palestine, detained and interrogated, and forcibly returned to Jordan while travelling as part of a high-level delegation invited by the General Union of Palestinian Teachers. The ITUC reaffirms its solidarity with Palestinian workers and their unions and calls for respect for human and trade union rights and international law. 👉 Read the full statement from Education International: ei-ie.org/en/item/32007

As EU leaders scramble to prepare a retaliation package against the US, they’re overlooking Europe’s strongest card: Withdrawing the 10 omnibus deregulation packages and instead doubling down on enforcement and export of Europe’s regulatory standards. That’s the case I make in today’s @FT giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/ac… What’s your take: should Europe abandon deregulation as its Trump response?

🚨BREAKING: Parliament is going to debate the petition Calling for a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics & democracy on 9 February. This is why it’s so important👇

Human rights aren’t abstract—they’re the essentials we rely on every day: safety, dignity, equality and justice. Human rights are our everyday essentials, let’s keep them strong. #OurEverydayRights

Donc si on suit bien, tandis que les femmes et autres mandataires du #MR se mobilisaient pour brouiller le message et tenter de décrédibiliser de la nouvelle figure médiatique de la FGTB (qui se trouve être une féministe dénonçant les orientations violentes avec les femmes du gouvernement De Wever) la majorité #Arizona décidait un durcissement supplémentaire du taux #cohabitant, ce statut appauvrissant surtout des femmes. lesoir.be/722884/article…

⚡Large-scale attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure have left people without electricity and heating. The Ukrainian Red Cross with @SESU_UA & partners (@IFRC, EU, @StateDept), is delivering generators to critical facilities & hot meals to those most in need. #HumanitarianAid

When work includes fair contracts & benefits, people can plan, participate & belong. Langanani’s path shows how social and labour protection restores stability and dignity, not only for him but for the team he leads. #ThisIsSocialJustice

Spahn redet die NATO um Kopf und Kragen und fällt Merz in den Rücken. Die Sicherheit in der Arktis und von Grönland ist ein NATO-Thema. Trump stellt keine Fragen sondern versucht, Dänemark und Grönland zu erpressen. Das ist NICHT „nachvollziehbar“.

If you have any doubt that Farage is the British pro-consul for Trump’s Dark Empire, read this story about the rehabilitated Putin stooge Manafort

The @LemkinInstitute is deeply alarmed and saddened by the state-sanctioned murder of Renee Nicole Good, 37, on 7 January 2026 by an Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minneapolis, Minnesota. We extend our deepest condolences to the Good family and condemn state violence against civilians in all its forms. Renee Good’s murder stands as a warning to all Americans that even minor acts of resistance can now be punished with lethal force by government agents. The Trump Administration’s immediate and coordinated response in support of Jonathan Ross is a very clear message: Even if you are white, we have the power to kill you when you do not silently allow us to harm your neighbors, and there is nothing you can do about it. Citizenship means very little within the current administration’s understanding of power. We believe that Ms. Good’s murder, and the subsequent attempts by the U.S. government to characterize it as a legitimate response to “domestic terrorism” that enjoys “absolute immunity,” are a watershed moment in the Trump Administration’s relationship to the U.S. body politic and the U.S. Constitution. The White House has essentially set itself up as the enemy of the American people and has declared war on them and on the promise of the U.S. Constitution, particularly the core belief expressed in the Declaration of Independence that all human beings are “created equal” and “endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” The Trump Administration appears to be radicalizing quickly now with President Trump threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act and send troops to Minnesota. It is very important to remain disciplined and not engage with its attempts to instigate a bloodbath. The Lemkin Institute urges the beleaguered American people to  stay unified in the face of this abuse of power, demonstrate solidarity with their neighbors, and continue to bear witness to state crimes. Diligently keep recording the truth, loudly express dissent, and work to protect our immigrant communities and the integrity of our Constitutional order. The world and history are watching as we near a point of no return in this Administration’s march towards dictatorship and genocide. Read the full statement: bit.ly/ReneeGoodState…
