First time ever in Austria that a nightly low above 20°C was registered above 1700 m altitude! From this thread: bsky.app/profile/marc...

What can we do against the rise of the hateful, anti-democratic far-right? Stay informed, speak out, support democratic parties and humanitarian organizations, vote! And more here:

This one must have involved long-range weapons.

Good thread on the attempts to frame what happened in The Hague using a story of two groups (supported by @nieuws.nos.nl ): ordinary far-right, anti-immigrant citizens and nasty, riot-seeking hooligans, joining in later. There weren't. All part of the same demonstration. bsky.app/profile/sans...

Good evening 2!

Good evening!

First time ever in Austria that a temperature over 25°C was registered above 1900 m altitude! And it's second half of September.

Nooit één kritisch woord over gehits van o.a. de beweging waar je mee samenwerkt. Nooit zelfkritiek. Nee, vermanende woorden over de noodzaak van 'verbinden' bewaar je uitgerekend voor... de leider van een partij waarvan het bureau net met politiek geweld is aangevallen. Geen spatje solidariteit ook

Steady progress towards the Russian border in the Sumy region.

🔥 Ukrainian intelligence drones destroy three Russian Mi-8 helicopters and radar in Crimea

The day after Dutch parliament voted to get Antifa activists earmarked as 'terrorist organization', copying Trump, the Fa side shows its colors at an anti-immigrant rally in The Hague: windows smashed at D66 (liberal) party office, violence against police. nos.nl/l/2583298

It's almost midnight, 20 September, in central the Netherlands, 52 degrees North. And it's over 20°C (68F). Doesn't feel right.

Republican representative - the one claiming Haitian immigrants eat pets - now tries to censor Bluesky.

Trump attacks 1A, demands opponents be prosecuted without legal basis, imposes tariffs and visa fees. All very bad, all unpopular, all divide parts of Trump’s base. What should Dems do? Some of us: Dunno, attack Trump? Dem leaders: Could we have a meeting, sir? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/u...

In a less insane time, if it was discovered that the President of the United States said this privately to their AG, it would’ve triggered an all-encompassing, impeachable corruption scandal. Here, Trump is saying it publicly and it’s just another Saturday.

🔥 Ukraine's Security Service and Special Forces strike Russian oil pumping stations with drones

Schriftelijke vragen ingediend over de aangenomen motie om ‘antifa’ te bestempelen als een terroristische organisatie.

While Trump is attacking the free press with all possible means, Dutch public news site @nos writes that he's "successfully reigning in American media"...

Czech President Petr Pavel calls for shooting down Russian planes violating NATO airspace. "This is extremely irresponsible behavior," he said, stressing that such violations warrant defense action. "Russia must understand its mistake," adding that NATO must stand firm against aggression.

Berichtgeving van de NOS over de rellen in Den Haag bekeken. In de dan bijna 20 berichten viel niet één keer het woord ‘extreem-rechts’. Wel: demonstranten, relschoppers, voetbalhooligans. Eh, Prinsenvlaggen, Hitlergroet, anti-semitisch gebral, aanval op D66-pand, belagen Binnenhof? Schande, NOS!

Good afternoon!

Slight panic among Trump's billionaire supporters. $100,000 per H-1B visa would amount to roughly a billion for Bezos alone.

NPR: “Regarding Antifa…” TRUMP: “Who are you with?” NPR: “NPR.” TRUMP: “You’re still here? Won’t be for long… does Antifa have anything to do with your network?”

Trump releases video of a 3rd boat blown up in international waters. He again claims it was a drug boat and the 3 killed were gang members. And again we’ll all just have to take his word for it. taskandpurpose.com/news/us-thir...

On the request to government by a (slim) majority in Dutch parliament to label antifascist activists ('Antifa', not an existing organization) as terrorists, following Trump. Supported by NATO SG Rutte's VVD.

Russia attacked the Ukrainian people with over 600 drones and missiles last night.

Turns out official Trump regime inflation is a lot lower than what people experience.
