Oh man, if Europeans think what the US is doing to Ukraine is bad (and it is), wait till they hear what they’ve been doing to Palestine. Wait, what? They already knew? They didn’t give a shit? Worse?… They were (are) complicit?

No, say it ain’t so! But European Values™…

My goodness… the more you know.

"We won't forget those who fell next to us" From a Ukrainian Defender posted today.

As traitors Trump/Vance actions slaughter hundreds of Defenders of Freedom. The #potus is a Kremlin agent.

Who will speak up for these Ukrainians?

Portugal joins to Sweden and other countries in a chain to boycott USA and promote european alternatives.
This is "I choose Europe" or "Escolho a Europa" website created by portuguese people with many categories.

Ditch US Big Tech and choose better European tools!

What are your favorites?

In summary:

Let's get rid of the United States once and for all!

Do you need an #European e-reader and tablet?

The reMarkable is a very serious European alternative created by a Norwegian startup.

To avoid temptations, if you don't need one, don't visit their website or watch their videos, otherwise you may end up buying one, as we did. We love it but it's not cheap, as they only produce it in small quantities.

The reMarkable is an E Ink writing tablet designed for reading documents and textbooks, sketching, and taking notes. It's designed to feel like writing on paper.

What we like the most:

- you can read #ebooks or documents in various formats, including pdf. It's like a Kindle. And you can make notes in your ebooks, for example.

- it REALLY feels like you're writing and sketching on paper. It's impressively well done

- there are many of different templates you can use and download on the internet

- you can write notes by hand and convert them into digital text. It can even translate your handwritten text into another language

- you can also automatically save your files in the cloud and in your computer.

If you're interested, you can find more information on their website, which is full of useful tips.

Do you have any too? We'd love to know what you think!

Welcome to All Europeans!

We will post and boost content to encourage people to replace their non-EU products and services with European, #selfhosted or open source alternatives.

Tag us if you want to recommend something!

If you're a EU company, follow us and we'll follow you back and share your product with the community.

Start buying European products to boycott bully countries and foreign monopolies.

Or maybe you just want to boost the local economy?

Buying European products has many benefits, including supporting local entrepreneurs, creating jobs, and increasing money circulation within your country or neighbour country.

It's also more environmentally friendly!

When the local economy is strong, everyone benefits.
