Dringend advies aan het kabinet: Zorg dat goedkope arbeid geen verdienmodel meer is

Please join me in congratulating Woman on her appointment

En het is niet zomaar een nieuw foefje, aldus de OpenAI-topman. Het is „een signaal van wat de toekomst van ChatGPT is: een verschuiving van volledig reactief naar in belangrijke mate proactief’’. Hoe de zelfstandig denkende mens met ruimte tot falen sluipenderdwijs wordt kall tgestellt. Doodeng.

Jongejongejonge: nog geen 3 doodzieke kinderen binnenhalen. De artsen en ziekenhuizen hier negeren… Ik schaam me diep voor wat we zijn geworden…

De Nederlandse publieke omroep: gezellig promotie maken voor het boek van een sadistische disfunctionele racist die nazi-gedachtegoed verkondigde over omvolking van Nederland door een linkse elite, precies de ideeën die de Noorse massamoordenaar en neonazi Breivik inspireerden.

President Trump and Congressional Republicans just shut down the government because they refused to stop your health care costs from rising. Let me be clear: Republicans are in charge of the White House, House, and Senate. This is their shutdown.

how stunning: a literature appeared out of thin air, under the guise of "just asking questions" and "just following the history" that happens to fully support Trump's authoritarian, white supremacist dreams. how fucking coincidental. how fucking surprising. who (everyone) could have predicted?

"The point will be to force the generals to applaud such statements, to broadcast that applause—and thereby to signal to all their troops, and to the American public, that the military brass is on board with Trump’s authoritarian agenda." www.thebulwark.com/p/remember-t...

Staffers claim Pete Hegseth is crumbling under the pressure and his mental state has reached new, frenzied heights after the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Hegseth is being described by staffers as “manic,” erupting into fits of rage and tumultuous tirades. www.thedailybeast.com/pentagon-aid...

I did it. I added some Keystone Cops music to this:

Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated. Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was “beneath the men and women of ICE.” This week, it’s back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.

EXCLUSIVE: “I am directing... Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists,” Trump wrote. A defense official called Trump’s claims “nonsense.”

This is the President explicitly threatening to withhold federal funds from New York City if voters elect a candidate he opposes. This is an unlawful attempt to coerce voters through federal financial threats and a textbook example of voter intimidation to influence the outcome of a local election.

"Bending over backwards to appease Trump for any reason — to protect yourself or your institution, to demonstrate your bipartisan apolitical bona fides, to secure a government deal — absolutely never ends well."

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

Dreigende burn-out: groot deel werkende mantelzorgers in de knel Een reden waarom veel mensen parttime werken omdat het anders niet te organiseren en vol te houden is. En daar wordt je dan t.o.v. fulltimers fiscaal op afgerekend. www.welingelichtekringen.nl//gezond/drei...

One person having the power to upend entire industries and economic sectors on a whim every day that puts companies out of business and workers out of jobs with no legislative input is an autocracy, regardless of whether that person initially acquired power through an election.

I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

"In Nazi Germany, transgender people were prosecuted, barred from public life, forcibly detransitioned, and imprisoned and killed in concentration camps." That is where Stephen Miller and Donald Trump are headed. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transge...

Terwijl dit soort stellingen niet een negatief gevolg bevatten. Waarom?

Wat mij opvalt aan het kieskompas is dat bij veel stellingen die een sociaal voorstel bevatten, er een voorbehoud gemaakt wordt dat mensen de rechtse hoek induwt. "[sociaal voorstel], ook al betekent dat....."

And there it is… Ukraine will receive JAS-39 Gripen! Better late than never, I guess. The fighter that was always by far the closest fit to the Ukrainian Air Force’s operational needs is at long last officially on its way (timeline TBC for obvious reasons). unn.ua/en/amp/minis...

Zo gaat het CIDI met journalisten om. Twijfel creëren. Dan maar direct een nieuwtje: SkyNews heeft mijn Maccabi video op verzoek van mijn advocaat in Londen moeten verwijderen van alle kanalen. #Maccabi #Israel

"I spoke to the governor, she was very nice," Trump said. "But I said, 'Well wait a minute, am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening? My people tell me different.' They are literally attacking and there are fires all over the place...it looks like terrible."

A reminder -- not that you need one -- of which party's electeds are routinely calling for political violence. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Has anyone collected the vile statements congressional Republicans have made calling for the murder, assault, deportation and/or imprisonment of their colleagues? Seems like there’s a lot of this coming straight from the GOP but the nation is more focused on ordinary liberals on social media.

From Nazi Germany to Trump’s America: why strongmen rely on women at home Take time to read this phenomenal essay by Adrienne Matei, which outlines the parallels between the subjugation of women in Nazi Germany, the Italian fascist regime & the Project 2025/MAGA movement.

Live from "war ravaged" Portland

Oh my goodness, giant puppets and happy music in the park downtown in Portland. Save us from all of this enjoyment… #warravagedportland

And Merriam-Webster spent 4 months sending emails with "What's the difference between socialism and fascism?" in the email subject. They tried. But I guess some people would never subscribe to a dictionary newsletter. I don't always open their emails but I do know the difference 😂

I visited an asylum centre (AZC) in south Holland today and honestly, it was the loveliest experience. Friendly staff; nice facilities; cheerful young residents from Eritrea, Somalia, Syria making guests injera, baklava and coffee. Just as far as you can imagine from stereotypes of violent thuggery.

Among the protesters in Times Square chanting "Free Palestine" during Netanyahu's speech was Rabbi Yitzchok Deutsch. "We are here to say he doesn't speak in our name. He is using our religion to justify his crimes," the rabbi said.

Good evening zelensky called assad a douchebag

Op rechts is na vorig weekend een felle strijd ontstaan om de fascistische stem. Men meent blijkbaar dat die gaat naar wie als eerste de rechtsstaat kan opblazen. BBB wil via een noodwet een asielstop doordrukken? De VVD gaat LGBTQ asielzoekers uitzetten naar een land waar ze de doodstraf krijgen!

Officially a tyrant: Trump announced Saturday that he will send troops to Portland, Oregon, and to immigration detention facilities around the country, authorizing “Full Force, if necessary” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
