UN’s Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese: “I truly hope that people will stay calm, will not panic, and will remember that the international community is made of 193 states, and this is the time to give the US what it has been looking for – isolation!”

Op naar Trumpistan, een soort Smurfenland, waar alles wat Trump trumpt nog trumpiger moet worden door het trump te trumpen. … follows recent actions by Trump to rebrand existing institutions to include his name, Like the US Institute of Peace and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

So stupid. If you want Putin to stop, you need to hit him where it hurts. Ukraine. Humiliate him in Ukraine. apnews.com/projects/rus...

I love my two blackout drunk Minnesota sons

From a focus group of Gen Z Republicans. (www.city-journal.org/article/manh...) Tell me again about how Zohran Mamdani is the big threat to Jewish thriving in the US today.

I’ve seen many things in my life, but I’ve never seen a successful full-scale invasion that only manages to take 20% of a country in four years, without capturing any regional capital, and while controlling less land after four years than it did one month into the invasion

Funny animal videos no longer being trustworthy just fucking sucks all around. I love the wonder of animal behavior and what it says about the experience of being alive. It's because it happened in reality that it's so fun. It's not fun if it was just made up. There's no wonder there.

Spain’s first astronaut! Oh! I prefer the guillotine as the most rational option if social healing by murder is what is needed, but in the interest of stealth and speed we should sometimes be willing to compromise

Een wet om gezichtsbedekkende kleding te verbieden bij demonstraties is nu in internetconsultatie. Dat is al een slecht idee (en in strijd met internationaal recht) maar de wet gaat eigenlijk nog verder dan alleen een verbod. Hoe zit dat? 🧵Verbod op gezichtsbedekkende kleding

Wat is wijs en slim in de politiek? Dat is niet zomaar “ergens een goede spin op hebben”. Voor alle politiekjunkies, journalisten en spindokters, lees dit, met @rikpeels.bsky.social www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/...

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along

vanity fair knew exactly what it was doing

UK media outlets are guilty of censorship and genocide denial.

Our new golden age of free speech, where opposition to immigration enforcement can trigger a federal investigation

The brilliant people of @parapraxismag.bsky.social will have none of this AI business, and that's that.

Ik zou maar heel, heel ver bij deze enge domme mensen vandaan blijven, @robjetten.bsky.social @d66.nl

ROSALÍA's music is a powerful antidote for 58 year old, 87 percent white, 87 percent privileged cis het dom male shortsightedness and complacency. I hope.

Goh, nu blijkt dat de uiterst rechtse coalitie van PVV, VVD, NSC en BBB toch 1 resultaat tot stand heeft gebracht: na vijf jaar daling leven weer meer mensen in armoede! Zo meldt het CBS👇🏼 nos.nl/artikel/2594...

Trump ran on a promise that ICE would go after the “worst" criminals. But the real crime is in oligarchs taking $170b from your healthcare and food assistance to form a secret police force. Our country has defeated fascism before and it is time we fight to uphold our legacy.

“Qui se couche le cul qui pique, se reveille le doigt qui pue.” -- Héraclite

Het gemak waarmee het CDA de deur op een kier zet voor JA21 doet denken aan de bereidwilligheid van NSC om met de PVV in een kabinet te stappen. Hoe wil Bontenbal dat rijmen met zijn beroep op ‘fatsoen’? Radicaal-rechts laat zich niet temmen. Column @groene.nl. www.groene.nl/artikel/onde...

—I’ve been asked to baptise the King of Spain’s daughter —Infanta? —No, holy water as usual. Weird thing to ask honestly

German Foreign Minister says Zelensky’s Sunday meeting with Witkoff showed the U.S. delegation had clearly coordinated its position with Moscow in advance.

And then there’s the story about Alex Karp’s not-at-all-weird interview (for lack of a better word) with Oswald Mosley’s grandson for a senior position at Palantir.

ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl. Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist. They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed. Another horrific story. More details below.

@groenlinks-pvda.bsky.social moet nu aankondigen dat ze geen enkel wetsvoorstel van een rechts minderheidskabinet gaan steunen. Zo zetten ze nog een beetje druk.

Ahmed al Ahmed, 43, has been identified as the heroic civilian who disarmed one of the Sydney terrorists. He was shot twice by the second gunman firing from a bridge and is now undergoing surgery for his injuries.
