Nooit meer is nu. Dodenherdenking #Alkmaar.

Waarom mag dit niet? Een papiertje met "Nooit meer is nu!", en niets meer dan dat? De macht is gewoon doodsbang voor de spiegel die wordt voorgehouden. Grote mooie woorden over het verzet toen, en terecht, maar het verzet nu wordt gecriminaliseerd. Wat betekent 4 mei dan nog?

Dit papiertje, nog geen 15 × 21 cm, mocht niet worden getoond tijdens de zogenaamde Nationale Dodenherdenking op de dam. Ik vind het Godgeklaagd, maar misschien is het wel wat Fréderike zegt: de machthebbers zijn zo bang dat ze zelfs geen papiertjes ter grootte van ‘n boodschappenlijstje toestaan.

Joden verwijderd van herdenking

Idioot, walgelijk, een laffe daad, te triest voor woorden, hoe diep kun je zinken? www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2026/...

Het zou van moed en realiteitszin hebben getuigd als de nationale herdenking was doorgegaan met een ‘besmeurd’ monument, als tastbare herinnering aan de belofte die politici stelselmatig naast zich neerleggen.

Ik ging ook even kijken #amsterdam #rijksmuseum #streetstories #amsterdamstreets #kings

Rutte on Trump: “This was a meeting between friends. Because we like each other. I really admire his leadership.”

Israel’s Channel 13 has set up a countdown clock in anticipation of Trump's deadline to wipe out Iran’s “civilization.”

But we're all walking in the night, now, on ground we don't know. When the day comes we may know where we are, or we may not.

Klopt. Spreek je dus gewoon 1x duidelijk uit over illegale oorlogsvoering, oorlogsmisdaden en (naderende) misdaden tegen de menselijkheid. Kun je verder z’n krankzinnige posts negeren.

Walgelijk.

Early stroll. That wooden owl has been on that windowsill for decades. The edge of the moon at the border of a cloud. Brakelights briefly bloody a bus shelter. Untranslatable birdsong. The stroll’s familiarity/unfamiliarity.

Morning all. Day Trippers, Aberystwyth, 1985. Photographer Colin Thomas.

Early stroll. The sky, the thoughtful sky. A moon has grown in a cemetery tree. A silhouette waits in a shelter for the bus. Sudden memory of dropping a jar of honey on my foot. Streetlights go out in sequence as I pass them.

Paula White compares Trump to Jesus during event with faith leaders: "You were betrayed and arrested and falsely accused. It's a familiar pattern that our Lord and Savior showed us. Because of His resurrection, you rose up."

Early stroll. The sky’s bright confidence. This pear I’m eating is really sweet. That broken plate has memories of wholeness. A fallen piece of paper with the word NOT on it. Someone waits for a late bus.

Again, leaders of other countries don’t talk this way. The glee with which our current leaders talk about killing people is not normal, and nor is their lack of concern for who exactly we’re killing. American bombs incinerated 100 kids in Minab. Were those the “right people”?

Trump admits the US committed several war crimes by sinking an Iranian ship and leaving survivors to drown for fun. "I said, 'Why don't we just capture the ship? We could use it. Why did we sink them?' He said, 'It's more fun to sink them.' They like sinking them better."

He had grown up in a country run by politicians who sent the pilots to man the bombers to kill the babies to make the world safe for children to grow up in.

Lightning book recommendation round! What was the last really good book you read? What was the vibe of it? Mine was Barbara Pym, An Unsuitable Attachment. Clergymen, spinsters, libraries, repressed sexuality, and a very sharp eye observing it all.
