With @stefanmakesthings.bsky.social at the 40th anniversary party of the Trut, where we met 18 years ago ❤️

Disco De Trut bestaat 40 jaar, en dit zijn de queer vrijwilligers en gasten die dat mogelijk maken: ‘Na al die jaren is het nog steeds een natte, vieze feestgrot’

Remember how I said I have it written into my foreign-language contracts that my work has to be translated by an actual human? This shit is why. Those book translations are gonna suck. They'll save money putting out books that are going to be painful to read. That's not a great long-term strategy.

The U.S. is giving dying mall vibes. I can't explain it, but you know I'm right.

Omg maar ECHT. Door de hetero’s hebben we nu de meilandjes en Geer en Goor

people have often pointed out that his awfulness is part of his appeal to the hardcore base, and this is true but his support has always extended outside that base, and a lot of people have made bargain of sorts: tolerate it in exchange for his power when that bargain fails, so does he

“No less an authority than the United Kingdom’s former Prime Minister, Liz Truss” That’s a real sentence that someone wrote, which made it into Trump’s legal filing.

“Miller declared that “our legacy, back to Athens, Rome, Philadelphia, Monticello,” is under threat from assorted “enemies” who want to keep us in “darkness.” Among the enemies hell-bent on dragging us back into civilizational darkness are immigrants from the 3rd World and their globalist allies. “

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites. The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

Horrified by the terrorist attack in Australia targeting Jewish people celebrating the first night of Hanukkah. Antisemitism has no place in this world. As so many light their candles tonight, we’ll come together to pray for a future where the light will triumph over darkness.

Fact check: correct

"Will you nanny, cleaner or builder have to leave the UK?" Reminds me of what @nialloconghaile.bsky.social said about UK often thinking Europeans only exist "to serve the drinks". FYI @vramosbis.bsky.social

De vicepremier die even tweet dat "de boodschap van Paarse Vrijdag" is veranderd om kinderen aan te praten dat ze misschien wel trans zijn, en die retweet dat "genderlessen op de basisschool" te ver gaan

Nanninga’s tweets worden vergeven want "satire”. Tegelijkertijd is remigratie en het omvolkingsdenken geen reden is om JA21 uit te sluiten. Het laat zien dat veel mensen fascisme of nazisme pas herkennen wanneer men in SS-uniformen rondloopt en er een hakenkruis boven het partijkantoor wappert.

Het idee dat we een minister zouden kunnen krijgen die het begrip dobbern***rs bezigde. Waar zijn Jetten en Bontenbal in hemelsnaam mee bezig?

It's been 25 years since a blatantly corrupt SCOTUS decision changed the world. We may never know who actually won, because they made sure we could never find out. Imagine how different the world would be today.

Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control. All-seeing surveillance systems don’t make us safer. They are in direct opposition to our civil liberties. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Asylum continues to be out of reach for trans Americans hoping to emigrate, but YSK that for NL specifically, there is another route: The Dutch-American Friendship Treaty (DAFT) allows Americans to establish residency provided they bring a new business to NL and maintain it for 2-5 yrs.

Minneapolis also decided to block ICE in with their vehicles.

All travelers from ESTA countries (yes the ones on visa waiver programs) will have to disclose 5 years of social media + huge amounts of personal data to enter the US now. All US academic associations should now meet outside the US if we want to meet our international colleagues.

Sounds about right daft.amsterdam

"We can't allow fact checkers into the country" is late-stage USSR shit, real end-of-empire stuff

The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.

It's largely lost today because we've allowed constitutional law to become the exclusive preserve of lawyers, but the original idea of written constitutionalism was partly one of public education, publicity, & (proto-)democracy—people should be able to read & come to know the law which binds them

“judges”

The reasons for the 14th Amendment are unambiguous.

What an unbelievable Honor to have been recognized for my accomplishments and to get the Prize for Immigration Law Firm of the Year in the Netherlands - 2026! 2026 will be a year of great Challenges and my firm has already been recognized for doing a Great Job is meeting them. I am very humbled.

What an interesting coincidence.

the birthright clause was not just written to wipe dred scott off of the books, it was written to repudiate the *idea* behind dred scott, you might say the larger *ideological project* of dred scott. and the whole of section 1 of the 14th amendment is a constitutional statement of political equality

Elon Musk and his Russian friends call for the abolishment of the EU

There's so much more to her story, which is why we reached out to her two years ago and got her to agree to work with us on her memoirs, detailing her life as a drag queen, a trailblazing trans woman and a total glamour bomb

BREAKING: cert. was just granted in our @democracydefendersfund.org case to defend birthright citizenship We and our wonderful coalition incl. ACLU, LULAC & more have won at every level & we have a strong case at SCOTUS as well We are fighting for the babies, their parents--& the Constitution!

Prison rape is wrong. Jokes about prison rape are wrong. Eliminating protections against prison rape is wrong. If another country sentenced a criminal to be raped, we'd consider it a crime against humanity. BUT A large segment of Americans regard prison rape as a de facto part of the sentence.

Wat een blamage voor alle advocaten die afhankelijk zijn van #BaseNet . Dit was de dag dat ik juist een enorme inhaalslag wilde maken, maar ik kan niet eens mails sturen.

De aanval op de NPO past in BBB’s bruine bocht: een partij die ooit een brug wilde slaan tussen boeren en burgers neemt nu gretig het uiterst rechtse repertoire over en zaagt daarmee aan het fundament van de onafhankelijke informatievoorziening.

An additional of the many problems with this idea is that it has already been held to violate the First Amendment to force someone to submit a written renunciation of foreign citizenship or to deem someone to have renounced their U.S. citizenship by inaction. We've already been through this!

‘Politici en opiniemakers die problemen opblazen met ‘nieuws’ van bedenkelijke herkomst, uit rancune of om de massa in de armen van extreemrechts te drijven, zijn niet te goeder trouw. Hun oproep aan links om rechts te worden dient derhalve genegeerd te worden.’

In American universities, private political groups can get you put on administrative leave for failing an essay that has no citations if the essay mentions the bible.

Very hard for immigrants to violate an oath to defend thee constitutional but Musk’s ignoring of the law and constitution with DOGE might actually qualify
