European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced on Friday that the EU–Mercosur trade agreement will be provisionally applied before full ratification – a measure already backed by EU countries last month.

Well, this is what organizing looks like: (interesting!) “Building the Collective(s) – Tools for an Antifascist Future.” www.2dh5.nl

This is exactly the plan. Create the objective over the US long standing red line; "Don't touch our boats." Note: I'm not saying it's a good plan.

I wish these were bells of freedom, not alarm bells of betrayal, announcing repetition, referring to another spring. I wish these were bells of justice, not treason, announcing courage, not cowardness, for freedom, is a precious thing. #nature #writing #booksky #geopolitics #spring #freedom

“The Greens’ convincing win gives the leftwing party its first ever northern seat. More importantly, however, it gives progressive voters a clear signal that they do not have to vote Labour to beat Reform–a signal that could prove catastrophic for the government” www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

That's right. In the name of nothing..., "Look at it -- it is a horrifying spectacle of monstrous, bloody madness in the name of NOTHING. And an even more staggering testament to extraordinary Ukrainian heroism standing against this titanic monster."

Why do I feel like we've been here before?

We should all be allowed to freely move around, like the river in this frame. It is insane to think that water stops running at borders, on orders of the ones who fear the unknown. Just watch the water flow and share its riches, and stop digging ditches for those who have less. Confess, to generous.

Not so random post in terms of timing. #ImpartialPoints youtu.be/VuVVR56A5VU?...

Four barrel organs are playing the Ukrainian national anthem all day long in front of the Russian embassy in The Hague. Fuck yeah.

Darth Putin is supposed to be a parody account. Except..., it's not, because of reality. I would highly recommend to become a follower. It helps.

WIP: "We can keep trying to neutralize the poison that humanity carries within itself, hoping for a better result, but the outcome will always be the same as long as the antidote remains a secret." (Not using the Booksky or writing hashtags that only seem to lead to fake/insincere engagement).

WTAF, bsky.app/profile/ns.nl !? This isn't the time to be naive about anything. Consider adjusting your advertising policies.

International tourism to the U.S. has experienced a significant downturn in 2025-2026, with forecasts indicating a 4.2% to 8.2% drop in foreign visitors and a loss of approximately $12.5 billion in revenue. Experts attribute the decline to strict immigration policies, entry bans, and trade rhetoric.

Well, at least FORTE10 is making itself useful.

Hi, Bluesky. How persistent some reed species are. Simply refusing to make their appearance insignificant, no matter the season. Even though their designated river of existence doesn't always provide what they need to survive, let alone shine.

#Hydrogen is key to climate-neutral energy—but safe storage & transport remain major challenges. A team led by USTB & MPI-SusMat developed a new stainless steel resistant to corrosion & hydrogen embrittlement, published in Science Advances. #H2News fcw.sh/60Y3E7

WIP 6th novel: "As long as the world runs on the principle of who has more and who has less, there will be no end to division, only endless beginnings leading towards the end." (title reveal soon) #writing #amwriting #booksky

Hate to see him go knowing about the downwards spiral. Rip, sir.

The Russian economy “is stuck in what might be described as negative equilibrium”, writes Alexandra Prokopenko. It is “holding itself together while steadily destroying its own future capacity”

The Netherlands energy preparedness in 2026, people. (And of course.., a lot of red tape)

Goodmorning, Bluesky. Everything humanity has given value to, has no value to sustain life. Everything that has value to sustain life, does.

This is awesome!

Mm. Interesting.

Am I the only one who would like to be active anywhere, at anytime, but realizes that creation means sacrifices and compromises? www.tiktok.com/@mo_polis/vi...

"Over a decade ago, Sudan was split along the arteries of oil. Today, the lines of division and blood money flow along gold veins." "Gold has been the paramount resource used by both warring parties to fuel and sustain this conflict." #Sudan #UAE #Canada #Mining #FossilFuels #Genocide #Military

Good Morning, Bluesky. And then, suddenly, there was a dusting of powdery snow. Beautiful and soft, a stark contrast to the color of the leaves of the tree that wouldn't have survived here ten years ago, but is now blooming. A cover-up that should be exposed to the elements of reality.

No lies, just the ugly truth in every single word of this speech. 🧵 Respect.

Unpopular opinion; I still think this is wrong. Educate them on the dangers, lies and fake news. (Daily) The internet and social media platforms aren't going anywhere and by the time the young adults are old enough to use it, it will hit them hard, which will have devastating consequences.

BREAKING: Britain’s High Court rules that the government’s decision to outlawed the protest group Palestine Action as a terrorist organization was unlawful.

This is just great...,

When your research might be able to change things. Excellent job!

I did not expect to see this in the WSJ: "Reducing reliance on fossil fuels looks like Europe’s best shot at saving its domestic manufacturing and stopping other governments from pushing it around" Agreed!

The insanity of not appointing Boekholt-O’Sullivan to Defense..., 🤦‍♀️

I wrote this short piece for my Substack a while back. In retrospect, it was a good starting point for the new novel I'm currently writing. 👀 mopolis.substack.com/p/empathy

The best hope of forcing Putin to stop his genocidal invasion is to push Russia toward bankruptcy. The $12 trillion partnership deal that is reportedly being negotiated with the US is the exact opposite

This is where I live.
