I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends. It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

This lady was the Steve Jobs of the Online Death Threat Industry for like 10 years. Not to be a dick, but fucking spare me.

"Waarom willen mensen eindeloos vermaakt worden? Omdat ze nergens blijvend houvast vinden, er geen dragende ideeën meer zijn om je leven vorm te geven". Mooi stuk!

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

Weet u nog? Wist hij blijkbaar ook niks van, hè?

@aoc at the rally for Mamdani Sunday in NYC. “This city was built by the Irish escaping famine, Italians fleeing fascism, Black Americans fleeing slavery and Jim Crow, Latinos seeking a better life, Native people standing for themselves, Asian Americans coming together…” So good!! 🔥

Just kill someone at Center Parcs

One of the better photographs depicting modernity, I'd say:

Op 2 november om 16.00 uur gaat Ad van Nieuwpoort in zijn serie Duinzichtgesprekken in gesprek met essayist @basheijne.bsky.social over de uitslag #TK2025. Heijne schreef een boeiend essay over de Atheense staatsman Perikles en zijn lessen voor de democratie. Adres: Van Hogenhoucklaan 89, Den Haag

29 oktober: stem vóór de democratie.

Giant copy of the Constitution being carried down Pennsylvania Avenue.

Our authoritarianism is run on clichés borrowed from the Eastern Europe of twenty years ago. Paid protestors, disloyal cities, evil Soros, vast conspiracies — it was all tiresome then and there, and now it’s pathetic.

In de politiek kunnen we giga van mening verschillen, maar feiten moeten leidend zijn. Wanneer er voor de ander geen feiten bestaan, verliest de waarheid. Wanneer de waarheid verliest, verliest de democratie. Daarom trekken wij een een grens.

🔥 Finally an EU leader says it out loud: “We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies.”

We believe healthcare is a right for every American. But starting today, millions of people will be notified that they are being priced out of their insurance thanks to Republican policies. Enough is enough. The GOP may shut down the government, but we will stand tall for YOU.

Here’s my cliff notes summary of Pete Hegseth’s big military address today

Briljant. Kijk ook even naar Jimmy Stewart van gisteren. youtu.be/_GXNJ3V9lzg?...

“Drawing lines around protected speech can be tricky. But in this case, there’s a clear standard any honest Republican could accept: Nobody should be pursued or punished by the government for saying the kinds of things Kirk himself said. Here’s a list.” www.thebulwark.com/p/charlie-ki...

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

A nation that metabolizes as "normal" the fact that red-pilled, conspiracy-obsessed ideologues with zero qualifications and zero concern for empirical reality are running the country, is a nation that doesn't have much of a future ahead of it as either a democracy or a remotely prosperous place.

GOOD TWEET. GOOD MOOD. FIGHT.

“This period in American life will not last forever, and when it’s over the world will remember who had the courage to speak out”

"Choose the harder right instead of the easier wrong".

Got a funky idea: Norway should join the EU and insist on joining in the same enlargement round as Ukraine. That would tip the scales as even Hungary wouldn’t oppose Norway’s membership. 🇳🇴🇺🇦🇪🇺 But first, the EU needs to get over the fish

If you thought that Europe humiliated itself at the NATO summit, check this out. It’s a very weird video posted by the official White House account. We’re in the creepiest timeline

brilliant

Even the Russians are mocking Trump’s disaster of a parade. This one’s going to sting.🤣

Trump wil regime change in Europa, ook in Nederland Mijn column in @nrc.nl www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/...

Exclusive pictures of the judges that have ruled against Trump on his trade tariffs

Dit clipje van Ruslands belangrijkste TV commentator zegt alles:

Mostly because of the smartphone, most people are getting dumber. How can individuals resist the trend? I've charted seven intellectual habits of very intelligent thinkers. We can all become more intelligent by adopting these on.ft.com/3SDKwTj

🧵 This is a perfect example of how disordered discourse reshapes democratic politics, not by policy failure, but by the performative targeting of identity. Let’s unpack what’s happening.

Millions of Romanians are celebrating tonight nationwide. This is what democracy looks like, despite Russia's insane manipulation campaign and army of influencer-propagandists, the people saw right through the bullshit and made the right call for their future. Romania is undefeated. 🇷🇴🇪🇺

Running after Trump’s moving goalposts is a fool’s errand. What Europe needs to focus on is capability, not percentage of GDP

The new Pope didn't tweet once in 2024. In 2025, he's posted 5 times, in which he: - Criticized JD Vance's views on Catholicism and Jesus - Posted an article opposing Trump's immigration policies - Retweeted twice about the Pope's health - Retweeted a criticism of Trump & Bukele's laughter at KAG.

Incredible that this is what we need to deal with. Is no reality sacred?

FLEXPORT: “.. In the 3 weeks since the tariffs took effect, ocean container bookings from China to the United States are down over 60% industry wide.” #SummerOfScarcity 🇺🇸

Really need journalists to push back on this bullshit. When they say this, just ask them point blank: "Are you saying that because one Latino man committed a murder, another Latino man deserves a life sentence? Do you think all Latino men interchangeable?"
