De humanitaire crisis in Gaza vraagt actie. Israël sloopt vandaag letterlijk het hoofdkantoor vd VN-organisatie voor Palestijnen. UNRWA is de ruggengraat van hulp, zeker nu andere hulporganisaties geen toegang krijgen Hopelijk steunt de Kamer mijn motie om UNRWA juist nu te steunen nos.nl/l/2598939

Banken mogen straks hogere bonussen uitdelen. Dat is het allereerste dat de nieuwe coalitie van D66, CDA en VVD regelt. Niet meer woningen, geen stikstofwet, geen plan om t leven betaalbaar maken. Nee, ze komend met een wetswijziging voor bankiers die in geen enkel verkiezingsprogramma stond.

Sorry, but this is not just distraction sauce. Trump is fixated. Let's not impose a rational actor model on a guy who is clearly psychotic and sociopathic. He admitted to the NYT this is psychological--he feels better owning stuff, since he hasn't faced any costs (thanks to SCOTUS), why not.

Just to be clear: the President is single-handedly dragging America to economic crisis and war with our closest allies. And why? To conquer an overseas territory that we have no claim to, have never had a claim to, and already have military bases on. Oh, and because he didn’t get a prize.

i think this MLK day the thing to focus on is the strategic focus and tactical brilliance of the civil rights movement and the way it was laser focused on a set of achievable goals

Given the open racism and rampant racial profiling by ICE, maybe this will be the first MLK Day in recent history where Republicans do *not* trot out the Only MLK Quote They Know

Trump wil levenslang baas zijn van een alternatieve VN-Veiligheidsraad

Nieuwe uitspraak van de rechter: informatie over gebruikte bestrijdingsmiddelen moet openbaar zijn. Omwonenden, wetenschappers en belangengroepen kunnen gegevens nu deze opvragen. Dit is een grote stap voorwaarts in de transparantie van de landbouw. metenweten.nl/page/spuitge...

This is pure, unabashed bigotry. If a politician said this about any other faith, they would rightfully be run out of their party. But this kind of despicable anti-Muslim rhetoric is so normalized that a sitting Senator uses it without consequence. A stain on our Congress.

Very lovely pictures in this article about #Valentino

It's true: "In 1943, Norwegian author Knut Hamsun went to Nazi Germany and met with Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels. After returning to Norway, he sent his Nobel medal to Goebbels as a gesture of thanks for the meeting. Goebbels was honoured by the gift." What an extarordinary precedent.

“A pastor here is also director of the field office for ICE… so someone teaching people about God is out there overseeing ICE agents. How dare you.” Twin cities protestors disrupt a church service at an ICE field office director’s church. (H/T @bygeorgiafort.bsky.social )

Incredibly emotional to hear my poem has been turned into a song of resistance and is being sung in Minneapolis right now. Please do not give up.

I wrote this poem as an homage to Baldwin and to hear it being sung across the world or read in protests has been my own guiding light of hope.

Deploying essentially all of your available resources to terrorize one city at a time, in a very large country with many big cities scattered across a continent, is not a sound strategy for regime consolidation.

I've heard rumors that Philadelphia is next for the ICE invasion after Minneapolis. Maybe I'm wrong, but 1) More than 11% of all ICE agents are in Minneapolis, and they've utterly failed to pacify the city. 2) Philly is 5x the size of Minneapolis. 3) "Minnesota nice" is a thing. We don't have that.

ICE surveillance sweeps up activists, organizers, journalists, family members, and entire communities. When the government buys access to location data and online histories, everyone’s rights are at risk. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

of NATO. So if they would try to land there, they would have to fight the entirety of NATO as a result. So all the "security" claims from Trump, no surprise, are lies. It's the resources. And that's also why he would go after Canada next. Also for the resources. He needs to be stopped. Now.

Assuming Trump would take Greenland by force, he would do that for the resources. Not for defense, because with the 1951 defense agreement, which Denmark signed, the US could easily expand their military base for that purpose. Greenland is also not open to "Russia" or "China". It is already part

he can't keep getting away with this

Every time the Trump regime uses the words "funded protesters" and "outside agitators" news outlets need to cut to this photo from last week. ICE has invaded these communities. Outside agitators don't show up in their fucking bathrobes.

A joke for the history buffs: Germany’s satirical newspaper @der-postillon.com titles: “Vienna Academy of the Arts offers Trump admission as a student — They don’t want to get blamed again“

Trade agreements with Trump are worthless. Meaningless. If he hits a bad golf shot he will jump in his cart, grab his phone, and fire off a post revoking one, or changing one. It looks like that may finally be starting to sink in, although China seems to have known it all along.

The first thing Virginia Spanberger did after being sworn in as Governor of Virginia was repeal Youngkin’s executive order requiring state and local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE. This is the kind of leadership Democratic governors nationwide should be emulating.
