NEW UPDATES, PLEASE SHARE my article about Jeffrey Sachs at @inved.bsky.social Find a compilation of his most self explaining quotes and appearances, it is not only about what he says, but also about WHERE he says it. inved.eu/insight/the-...

He negotiated the vast majority of a peace deal, except for the peace and the deal

If you're still trying to figure it out after a decade that might be a clue....

He's completely incompetent, even apart from being deranged.

Closer to truth than the BS spread by Trump!

"there is evidence that the profound corruption and intellectual and organizational poverty of the Trump administration has percolated down to the military"

In de afgelopen 23 jaar om het ff scherper te stellen zat er maar 1 (één) linkse politica op asiel, Nehabat Albayrak, daarvoor en daarna uitsluitend (radicaal-)rechtse partijen. Waarom zouden partijen en politici van die partijen die al 25 jaar falen dan nu écht, maar dan ook écht asiel 'oplossen'?

The separation from reality in the Republican Party today - vaccines are poison; Iran can be conquered; January 6th was staged by Democrats - should really really worry people. These folks just aren’t fit to govern anymore.

Europe is hands down the best continent to live on.

"there is evidence that the profound corruption and intellectual and organizational poverty of the Trump administration has percolated down to the military"

"The DOD is not telling Congress the truth. These losses are weakening #US international force posture ( #China is celebrating). These losses could mean that the US has the wrong force mix (though the DOD seems to be ignoring this." #Iran

Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket for free and share its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4a7l1TR

This is the administration of 'coincidences'...🤥

"Thank you for your attention to this matter" 🤣

NEW: I've filed a claim with Todd Blanche for compensation from the $1.776B slush fund for the unlawful investigation by the government into my podcast in August 2019. I'm seeking $8.647 million in compensation for weaponized lawfare - the equivalent of punitive damages, lost pay and retirement.

"stupid on stilts" "tyranny" "absurd" That's what Republican Senator Thom Tillis calls the new Trump DOJ $1.8B slush fund. Now what’s stopping the rest of the GOP?

Nou dit weer...😠

This is the administration of 'coincidences'...🤥

Effective tax rate paid by Jeff Bezos from 2014 to 2018: 0.98% Effective 2025 federal tax rate paid by Amazon: 1.4% Typical tax rate paid by the average American: 14.5% Just thought I should point that out.

Have you been injured? #slushfund

Europe should not be running after Putin. It should be maximising the military & economic pressure on him. Every initiative to “reopen formal channels” will be seen by Putin as a sign of European weakness, & will encourage him to keep fighting.

5/5 Zelfs tijdens deze oorlog sinds 2014 heb ik weinig nieuwsgierigheid kunnen ontdekken. Terwijl 🇺🇦 uitermate geschikt is voor een human interest docu met rondreis. Aan de universiteit in Kyiv wordt Nederlands gedoceerd, een raket trof het leslokaal. De pers had geen interesse.

NEW: The judge has weighed in on the $1.7 slush fund. I promised an update when she did. Please share widely.

Even Trump appointees know how disgustingly corrupt this is, and it still has not received 10% of the coverage and attention it deserves as media moves on to other things.

Waarom zijn het eigenlijk “azc-rellen”, Nederlandse pers? Zijn het “Joodse-rellen” als Joden worden aamgevallen? Waarom noemen we de rellen hier naar het slachtoffer en niet naar de daders?

It’s a continuing pattern now: prosecutors around the world examining files released by the Trump DOJ say they find evidence of serious crimes. The DOJ insists there’s nothing to see there, and refuses even the most routine cooperation. By the way,

As Moscow burns, remember those who fretted about nuclear escalation because Ukr struck an antiradar system. Remember also the Biden admin in 2022 fell for the manipulation that Ru will existentially defend the Ukr territories it included in its constitution. Ukr’s allies should‘ve listened to Ukr.

Aanwakkeren van onvrede Polariseren Zaaien van haat Hij is er best goed in.

I was brought up in Belfast during The Troubles, I was in Sarajevo during the siege, I work with colleagues in Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Russia & Ukraine and I’ve spent time with displaced people on the Russian/Georgian border. I know what happens when populists are enabled to spread hatred 👇

Deze opmerking van @lisawesterveld.bsky.social spookt me al een paar dagen door m'n hoofd. Ik kan er niks aan veranderen, maar het vat wel samen wat er mis is met de vaderlandse politiek.

We hoeven niet ver te zoeken naar het mannenprobleem, ze staan allemaal pontificaal en luid brullend op beeld.

Not to be outdone by Ireland, The Netherlands has just picked TikTok, Meta and Uber's lawyer as the new head of the Dutch Privacy Authority. Well done everyone. For shame. nltimes.nl/2026/05/13/l...

I quoted the Virginia Constitution and Republicans are losing their minds.🤯 Jonathan Turley suggested I am a "radical" and "Jacobian" for literally quoting the Virginia Constitution's Bill of Rights.😂

"Taxpayers are footing a whopping $1 billion bill for Trump's ballroom. Your budget cuts the National Park Service by $1 billion. If you put this $1 billion towards our national parks instead of Trump's ballroom, that would benefit every single American."

The corruption is beyond anything we have ever seen.

"Geen van de verdachten komt uit Loosdrecht."

And Xi will tell Trump what a great President he is!🤔

He knows he should be in jail. We all know.

What has me worried — what we all need to focus on — is that something important in our democracy broke last week, and we are only beginning to see the fallout. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

Maar extreemrechts geweld en terreur worden nu gebagatelliseerd, vergoelijkt of simpelweg ontkend. Zelfs Jetten komt niet verder dan: ‘we begrijpen de zorgen, maar geweld is onacceptabel.’ Alsof dit om wat maatschappelijke frustratie gaat, en niet om georganiseerde intimidatie en politiek geweld.

It's not just that the FBI director is acting like a spoiled child; he keeps repeating the dumb lie that Van Hollen was "drinking margaritas with a felon" when he visited Kilmar Abrego Garcia. As a reminder, it was a stunt from the El Salvador regime, who put sugar-rimmed glasses on the table.

Trump campaigned on bringing down the cost of living "starting on day one," and then: started a trade war; deported much of the farm workforce, bombed Iran, allowed healthcare subsidies to expire, cut food assistance, ran an interest-rate boosting deficit, and attacked fed independence.

Ik moest nog terugkomen op de column van @schimmelpenninck.bsky.social die een lans brak voor Erdbrinks docu. Toen hij hem als 'te empathisch' omschreef brak m'n klomp.🧵👇

The dementia tester doesn't even grasp basics. When Biden won in 2020, Trump was President. Then Biden was in charge, but Trump won in 2024. bsky.app/profile/meid...

Wat zo “gevaarlijk” (misschien een beetje een zware term) aan De Telegraaf is, is dat het serieuze journalistiek combineert met radicaalrechtse bagger. Daardoor krijgt die bagger ook legitimiteit, omdat die onder de banner van een ogenschijnlijk serieus journalistiek medium wordt uitgebracht.

Woestmakend. Een bomaanslag. Op een opvanglocatie. Voor minderjarige asielzoekers. Voor kinderen dus. Van 15-16 jaar. Zonder hun ouders. Jongens en meisjes. Die er nog geeneens wonen. En van wie de aanslagplegers dus nog geeneens weten wie ze zijn. Het zijn kinderen.
