Every part of the lily plant is deadly to cats - even drinking water that lilies were sitting in can kill them. Other popular spring flowers like tulips and daffodils can also make them very sick, but there are plenty of beautiful and safe alternatives.

We need to accelerate the energy transition, decouple ourselves from an unreliable US and regulate the tech giants so that they have to take responsibility for their products and the harms they do as well as profiting from the benefits they provide. Yes best time was 10 years ago, 2nd best is now.

“It is not hard to imagine Kavanaugh writing a concurring opinion in this case where he votes to strike down the executive order, then helpfully suggests other ways to attack birthright citizenship.”

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

My speech at the Amsterdam No Kings rally last weekend. On Dutch and American declarations of independence and unfinished business: time for the Third Reconstruction

Etwas Hoffnung aus Ungarn Bei einer Wahlkampfveranstaltung der Kröte begannen die Menschen unerwartet „Ruszkik haza“ (Russen nach Hause) zu skandieren. Das ist der Slogan des Aufstands in Ungarn im Jahr 1956, der von der Sowjets brutal niedergeschlagen wurde.

De optimismedwang van dit minderheidskabinet is problematisch, vindt columnist @nadiabouras.bsky.social. Die houding van ‘stop met zeuren en ga samenwerken’ moet namelijk kritische geluiden smoren. ‘Maar wij gaan niet zwijgen.’

Ouch. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Glad to see good use of our @globalcit.bsky.social data on the regulation of birthright citizenship around the world 🌎 Better title: US-style automatic birthright citizenship is very common throughout the Americas, but uncommon elsewhere.

Veldbonen doen alles goed, toch staan ze nauwelijks op het menu. Wie reanimeert de veldboon? Peulvruchten verloren hun plek op de akker en het bord. Nederlandse ‘eiwitboeren’ proberen de teelt nieuw leven in te blazen. De veldboon is gezond, gunstig voor het klimaat en een goed ingrediënt. Van...

This week, Brexit finally killed our family business. We cleared out our warehouse, handed back the keys, paid the final bills and said goodbye to our last employee. What was once a thriving firm died a slow, sad death, all thanks to Farage, Johnson and the gullible idiots they conned. 1/18

Also who gives a shit what other countries do. In this country we fought a civil war about slavery that turned into a war for emancipation, and birthright citizenship is part of the project of making emancipation meaningful, so like, it matters that we do have this HERE. We need this here.

Raging Trump showed up at the court to watch most of his arguments in this case fall flat before the conservative justices. As @stevevladeck.bsky.social tells me, this underscores "how likely he is to lose it." newrepublic.com/article/2084...

Wat een losers, ON was er zo op gebrand demonstranten te ownen dat ze het niet eens hoorden toen ik ze diste (je hoort mijn stem in de achtergrond daar op het einde) ongehoordnederland.tv/nieuws/anti-...

I do think that those lawyers and law professors who tried to fabricate a historical or legal case against birthright citizenship should be socially and professionally ostracized for their shocking cynicism and intellectual dishonesty as well as for their bald hostility to pluralist American values.

Ik keek naar #NachtdierenUSA. Ik ben nog steeds 'flabbergasted'. Mijn hemel, wat #Raven van Dorst uit de meest uiteenlopende mensen krijgt. Door te luisteren, door zichzelf bloot te geven, open te stellen. Zó goed! Hartstikke goed begin van een serie die ik hartstikke ga volgen. Aanrader, mensen!

Gisteren, tijdens mijn toespraak op de No Kings-manifestatie op het Museumplein wees ik op een aanwezige verslaggever van Ongehoord Nederland en zei ik “the fascists have their own TV network and they’re here trying to get sound bites from you that will make you look stupid”, waarop die snel vertrok

Helemaal eens met @rockandvulcan.bsky.social , maar hij hoeft niet naar het internationale recht te verwijzen. Het recht op gezinshereniging met een ongehuwde partner is verankerd in de bepalingen van het (reguliere) Nederlandse vreemdelingenrecht, al sinds eind jaren 70.

“Trump ruined bad taste”

Sandra Wong, the great granddaughter of Wong Kim Ark, is preparing to march at the #NoKings Rally in San Francisco. Today is the 128th Anniversary of the SCOTUS decision affirming birthright citizenship.

Wat een ijzersterke column van Eva Peek over Thomas Erdbrink, en de schade die hij berokkent voor de rest van het journaille. En Thomas zich maar verbazen waarom hij in Rusland zo vrij zijn werk kon doen. Maar waarom zouden de Russen een nuttige idioot lastig vallen? www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2026/...

Yup, I first heard this claim from an Australian potential client who was in my office for a consult about six weeks ago— so I googled it and the only sources I could find were clickbait websites, nothing about it on the website of the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade

Julius Caesar introduced a coin with his name, image, and the title DICT PERPETVO; dictator for life. It was created in February of 44 B.C. and stopped being minted in March of 44 B.C., for some reason.

Might be the greatest opening paragraph of anything ever.

3,300 passengers travel through LaGuardia every hour, every day, every year. 29 million total. Running that airport with a single ATC in charge of both sky and ground traffic is inexcusable and if the shortage is that bad then we need to shut some airports down

Trump thought he could control the war in Iran. Three weeks in, it’s clear he can’t. Allies have their own agendas, the objectives are unclear, and the political pressure is mounting. History tells us what happens when leaders walk into traps they cannot escape.

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

Knappe analyse van een werkelijk krankzinnig wetsvoorstel :

“Barack Obama, Joe Biden and Trump alike [have] presided over the fastest growth in economic inequality and anti-democratic concentration of power in history while doubling down on a domestic police state and imperial violence.”
