Verbijsterende afgang van minister Mariëlle Paul in interview met NOSjournaal over terugtrekken van dit plan⤵️ 1 dag na de verkiezingen. ”ik heb een andere afweging gemaakt”, zegt ze. Welke afweging dan? Was het niet een groot uitzendbureau dat enorm veel geld stortte in de VVD partijkas?

Landbouw veroorzaakt meer schade dan het opbrengt, zeggen nu ook onderzoekers van Deloitte in NRC. Het ligt niet aan de boeren, zegt een deskundige, het ligt aan de consumenten: die willen niet extra betalen voor duurzame oplossingen. Komt ook door rol supermarkten: www.roosvonk.nl/de-supermark...

Dat hoor je veel in Amerikaans weerbericht. Maar het verwijst dan naar omstandigheden, niet naar de engere betekenis die condities in het Nederlands heeft. Dus eigenlijk is dat een Anglicisme, dan toch? 2/2

Morgen ben ik in de Digitaalstaat @detaalstaat.bsky.social over mijn bsky berichten, oa deze. Nog een toevoeging: ik denk dat vooral het Amerikaans onze taal steeds meer beïnvloedt. Dit is een voorbeeld, maar wat denk je van bv het gebruik van “condities” door weermannen/-vrouwen. 1/2

"Yesilgöz, die erop blijft hameren dat 'de kiezer heeft gesproken'." De kiezer....

Twee Nederlandse pensioenfondsen (Metaal en Techniek PMT en Zorg en Welzijn PFZW) stemden tegen de 1000 miljard bonus voor Musk, meldt NOS Journaal. Die pensioenfondsen moeten überhaupt niet in Tesla beleggen en het voorbeeld van ABP volgen! bsky.app/profile/apol...

Zag net dat Volkskrant er ook over schreef. www.volkskrant.nl/politiek/rob...

De vorige keer dat D66 in zo’n positie zat was bij de formatie van Rutte4. Niet doen niet doen niet doen! dacht ik de hele tijd, en toen deed Kaag het toch. En het werd een RAMP. Laat @robjetten.bsky.social die fout alsjeblieft niet weer maken. Beloon VVD niet voor politieke spelletjes.

Net in het Radio 1 journaal; PFAS op onze gewassen via pesticiden. Verschrikkelijk idee; je raakt het niet meer kwijt uit je lichaam. En dat het Brussel niet lukt het te reguleren, door invloed lobby en verdeeldheid. Als we nou allemaal biologisch gaan eten! Goed voor onszelf + druk op de gifsector.

“Vraag buurtbewoners twee jaar na de onrust naar de noodopvang en ze halen hun schouders op. Sommigen vragen zich hardop af of de vluchtelingen niet alweer vertrokken zijn. ‘We hebben ons gek laten maken’. ‘Omdat iedereen elkaar op zat te jutten.’” archive.ph/fUgbI

Een deel van de Nederlandse economie draait op uitbuiting van deze mensen, ze hebben op papier rechten, maar als ze voor hun rechten opkomen worden ze zonder pardon ontslagen en op straat geflikkerd. Of zelfs fysiek mishandeld!

Mensen die erop stemmen denken dat het in hun voordeel is als andere groepen worden benadeeld. Ze snappen niet dat zij zelf ook een keer de minderheid zijn die kan worden uitgebuit. Met precies dezelfde achteloosheid en minachting waarmee Marielle Paul dat nu doet bij arbeidsmigranten. 2/2

The wording of this is highly unusual, and suggests that Justice Jackson is expecting the First Circuit to rule on a stay pending appeal (a longer pause of the district court's order) in the next few days. I'll have more to say about this in "One First" as soon as I can write it up.

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

Reporter: On the Walmart thanksgiving meal, it is cheaper but it also contains less Trump: I haven’t heard that. Who are you with? Reporter: NBC Trump: Fake news

Read about WHY Ketanji Brown Jackson stayed the SNAP order. Her move is probably the best solution for getting SNAP benefits approved quickly. open.substack.com/pub/stevevla...

They want you to leave your phones at home so you can’t take video of them. If you leave your phone at home, take a go-pro with you. Cameras out, America!

KBJ threaded the needle thanks to CA1’s unfinished business. -if she denied the admin stay, the full SCOTUS woulda stepped in to override her. -if she immediately referred the case to the full Court, they coulda dragged feet. -instead she boxed them in to act quickly once she does refer the case.

No ballistic evidence. No one hit. No injuries. No damage from gunfire. Local cops can’t find a “crime scene.” DHS claims shots were fired. I don’t believe them. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

ICE is completely out of control

“There is already four times as much solar capacity worldwide as analysts in 2010 forecast for 2035, and predictions of warming have fallen from 4°C to 2.6°C. But momentum is uneven.” www.ft.com/content/c406...

"Houston 'hub homes' program gave neighbors resilient power. Then EPA canceled Solar For All - The project was set to reach 30 more homes, until the Environmental Protection Agency in August canceled the $7 billion Solar for All program." apnews.com/article/disa...

ICE violently arrested a protester and pointed assault rifles at unarmed community members filming today in Little Village, Chicago.

I should also point out that historically these cuts have been a shell game as workers are replaced by consultants and temp agency workers at greater cost to government than the workers tossed out on the street

Those cheering on the massive job cuts in the public service need to realise that those displaced workers will be competing for the limited number of available private sector positions. This increased competition will result in lower wages for everyone.

There is zero excuse for police, in a free society, to wear a mask. Cowards

I cannot stress this enough: This wave of AI is not providing anything that we cannot do without. This doesn't even have the veneer of necessity that banking did. We can just let them fail. We can afford for this technology to hit setbacks and need to spend more time being evaluated. This is silly.

Trump promised to lower costs, but now he’s focused on finding shady ways to fund ICE and his $300 million ballroom.

Trump isn’t going to do anything to address ridiculous prices, but he will let you mortgage a house for 50 years! His banker buddies will LOVE that. A $400,000 house will cost you a million dollars over 50 years. What’s next, 10 year auto loans? 🤢

I am proud that my law firm is representing this amazing organization in this critical fight for the right to vote.

I know this is pedantic, but Kim Davis was not "jailed for refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses." She was jailed for contempt of court because she refused to follow a court order (she had stopped issuing all marriage licenses). NYT makes it sound like the Woke Police broke down her door.

All 31 far-right Moms for Liberty terrorists lost their 2025 election bids. Great news for what remains of our democracy.

Gavin Newsom’s rally in Texas today standing with Democrats fighting for fair maps and real representation. The battle for democracy doesn’t stop at state lines. He had a really great reception from the crowd! 👏👏 #DemocracyMatters #StandUp #Texas #USDemocracy #Pinks youtu.be/9KaMTnuXcFc?...

One of the women’s restrooms at Mar-a-Lago. Yes, it is carpeted.

He brags about how the Walmart Thanksgiving basket is cheaper than last year, and proof his economy is better than Biden's. It's a much smaller turkey, fewer and cheaper ingredients and doesn't even have a pecan pie in it any more. We have to make due with less while he parties like a rock star.

A Border Patrol agent cracking down on immigration in Chicago appeared to brag about shooting a woman he said assaulted him, according to text messages obtained by USA TODAY. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

ICE is inflicting a lifetime of trauma on families. And it’s being carried out in the name of the United States of America.

While many families spent the day in food lines or wondering where their next meal is coming from, Dozy Donnie had yet another one of his lavish decadent parties at his tacky resort. Maybe if he spent less time partying and late night shitposting, he'd stay awake during meetings. Just a thought.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

Crockett: When you go and you hit those booths come the midterms, think about which party decided that it was okay to literally be on vacation while people were going hungry in the streets of America.
