JD Vance just said: “Stopping funding for Ukraine is one of the things I’m proudest we’ve done in this administration.” What a disgusting statement. I was just in Kharkiv and saw the damage that Russian missiles and drones inflict. If Ukraine received more US interceptors, it could save more lives.

There is a notable absentee from this list. And it ranks even lower than a country that was responsible for two world wars.

Nederland importeert de helft van de kalveren uit het buitenland. 90% van het vlees gaat naar het buitenland. Wij mogen de problemen houden: mest, antibiotica, en dierenwelzijn. De winst gaat naar een Quote 500-ondernemer. Aan alle kanten oneerlijk.

As a former US Capitol Police officer, I’m disgusted by this. As a current local detective, I’m disgusted by this. As a future criminal attorney, I’m disgusted by this. As an American, I’m terrified by this.

The United States is in an unprecedented crisis. A convicted criminal has attained the presidency. And he has decided that a crime is not a crime if it is committed on his behalf.

It started with a blank world map, a witty experiment in which researchers asked Americans to point out Iran by placing a dot. The result was not geography, but a starry sky of mistakes: thousands of specks that wandered off across continents and islands. www.historischnieuwsblad.nl/veel-amerika...

Rehabilitation of the Dandelion! No other plant in the Netherlands attracts as many bee species: 107. In early spring, when nothing else is blooming, it is simply there. Meadow bird chicks that have just hatched depend on the insects that are drawn to dandelions. No dandelion, no insect, no chick.

Onder een Israëlische wet, die het parlement deze week aannam, kunnen Palestijnen worden geëxecuteerd. De Israëlische regering laat daarmee zien waar ze voor staat: genocidaal geweld tegen Palestijnen als systeem, niet als uitspatting.

Witte Pijn Schinkel: "Door te benadrukken dat ‘draagvlak’ belangrijk is. Dat zijn codewoorden voor ‘witte mensen’. Witte woede levert stemmen op: de electorale strategie is in feite het aanwijzen van mensen die slechter af zijn, zodat witte mannen hun eigen uitbuiting nog bereid zijn te incasseren"

Prachtige en rake typeringen door de gasten over Sonja Barend bij 'n ingelaste #PauwendeWit. Leeftijdgenoot Hanneke Groenteman is daarin ijzersterk. Ik kijk en luister er met 'n brok in de keel naar, omdat die kwalificaties je doen beseffen dat 'n voor televisie unieke persoonlijkheid is gestorven.
