Maatschappelijke organisaties beknotten. Tegen de wens van de Kamer in. PVV-beleid wat gewoon wordt doorgezet. Tekenend voor een tijd waarin onze democratie steeds meer onder druk staat. Tegenmacht is hard nodig. Een zelfverzekerde overheid is niet bang voor kritiek.

Het lukt de publieke omroep maar niet om de Trump-regering te benoemen als een grondwet-ondermijnend autoritair regime dat uitgaat van onderdrukking bevolking, landroof, racisme, omkoping op ongekende schaal, dealen met dictators en het schofferen van eeuwenlange diplomatieke partners. Het heult.

Unprecedented presidency-ending corruption for anyone from Truman to Obama.

Never forget that without Trump, these are people who would never have been within a million miles of any job that carries serious responsibilities - and they know it.

Renee Good's family is accusing federal immigration officers of killing the Minneapolis mother of three as she attempted to follow agents' instructions, and have now hired the same law firm that represented George Floyd's family to press for answers and accountability.

You're willing to drag the world into deadly turmoil when your only reason for being in power it to avoid jail.

In Minneapolis, Minnesota, activists are taking matters into their own hands by following ICE goons both on foot and in vehicles.

This is incredible: 81% of working class and 83% of young voters have seen video of Renee Good's killing, per new data I've obtained. Majority of working class disapproves of ICE enforcement. ICE brutality is breaking through big time. Some thoughts on this here: newrepublic.com/article/2052...

His 6 month old stopped breathing! HIS SIX MONTH OLD STOPPED BREATHING! A father was getting his kids out of the neighborhood because it was unsafe & ICE threw flash bangs & tear gas at his car with children & a baby inside! His 6 month old stopped breathing & all the children were hospitalized!

After ICE agents shot people in Minneapolis tonight, a crowd faced them down and eventually chased them away, despite federal mercenaries and police shooting a tremendous amount of tear gas. ICE agents abandoned vehicles in the area, containing IDs, paperwork, license plates, and operational plans.

"Republicans are divided over whether federal immigration officers should try harder to avoid hurting people following the fatal shooting of a community activist during an immigration raid," according to a Reuters/Ipsos survey.

Op onderwijs, zorg en sociale zekerheid staan forse bezuinigingen gepland. We zien geen plannen om die terug te draaien. Wél het voorstel om bankiers een dikkere bonus te geven. Bizarre prioriteiten van de nieuwe coalitie.👇🏼

This must be the “freedom” and “small government” the GOP talk about: Unaccountable federal agents terrorizing neighborhoods and attacking cars full of children as they try to escape.

What too many people refuse to admit is while they search around frantically for signs that Trump will help Ukraine, what has really happened is that Trump has protected Putin while the Russians have criminally attacked Ukrainian civilian life. This foolishness must stop now.

Please watch this and tell me again that the ICE raids in Minnesota are a matter of immigration. My god.

All for the toddler

The time to do it is now, <before> he invades our closest allies. The mere fact he’s threatening it is hundreds of miles past Nixon’s crimes. Do your job already.

Experts have sounded the climate alarm after discovering that global temperatures are accelerating faster than predicted.

Craig: "In my district, 2 days ago a special ed teacher pulled into her school parking lot, her windows were smashed, she was taken & detained for 12 hours. I've never seen such an out of control agency. That's why as soon as I leave, I'm joining a group to file articles of impeachment against Noem"

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

🤯Dikkere bonussen voor bankiers en tegelijkertijd miljarden bezuinigingen op zorg en sociale zekerheid?! Niks geleerd van de financiële crisis. De aankomende coalitie versoepelt bonuswetgeving, volgens de VVD pas een eerste stap… Alles voor de rijken en ieder voor zich. ⤵️

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

A group of Epstein survivors just formally demanded that the DOJ Inspector General open an investigation into how the heavily redacted Epstein files were released. They’re demanding action now to release the files and we stand with them.

Trump-propaganda bij kritiekloze VVD-ja knikkers (Dilan Yesilgoz doet het letterlijk) club WNL. Amerika kan gewoon militaire basissen bouwen naar gelieve in Groenland. Sterker nog; die hadden ze al. Het is totale quatsch om hiervoor het land te annexeren. Een pure, grove, schadelijke leugen.

Slovakia’s new government under Robert Fico is undermining European unity by cutting military aid to #Ukraine, echoing russian narratives, and aligning with Viktor Orbán. This stance abandons #EU values - solidarity, democracy, and rule of law - at a pivotal time.
