I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired. If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

genuinely says so much about what twitter has become that the biggest rightwing grift accounts pushing US fascist narratives aren’t real people and not even close to the united states

😢

For the 2nd consecutive evening, drones were spotted over Volkel air base in the Netherlands, Secretary of Defence Gijs Tuinman told national TV on Sunday. 'We detected them and deployed measures', he said. He provided no further details. nieuws.nl/politiek/tui...

OMG!!! The last two #F1 races are going to be a spectacle.

Airspace above #EindhovenAirport in the south of the #Netherlands is currently closed to all air traffic. Passenger aircraft are being diverted to Brussels and Cologne. Yesterday, Dutch Airforce had to deploy defenses against drones over a nearby military airport.

X has changed their policy and now you can see where the accounts are based. Here’s an “influencer from Texas”

The #Dutch air force deployed defenses against #drones over a military air base. The drones disappeared and were unfortunately not identified.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com. We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans. washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

I’ve been in a room with Putin. He calls Ukrainians “Russians with accents.” His real fear isn’t NATO expansion, it’s democracy expansion. It shatters his entire argument for dictatorship at home. Because if Ukrainians embrace freedom, Russians may demand the same.

ABOUT TIME!!!

Ukraine would permanently give up its territories. Russia would be granted amnesty for its war crimes. Terrifying, isn't it? But this isn't a nightmare or some fringe conspiracy. It's written, plainly, coldly, in a proposed peace plan from the Trump team.

Rewarding a dictator-aggressor always leads to another war. One that is usually even worse.

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution. Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

Trump trying to change the conversation about his relationship with a notorious pedophile by suggesting a group of Democrats should be hung is next level disgraceful.

It’s quaint, I know, but the President of the United States calling for the hanging of Democratic service members for saying that no one should follow an illegal order should inspire a conversation about the 25th Amendment.

Does anyone have the video of people standing up for the journalist that the president of the United States called a pig? Or asking ‘Did you just call her Piggy?’

"I have met some very bad people....none as bad as trump. Not one decent cell in his body..so yes - dangerous." Jeffrey Epstein 2017

turns out the emails we should have been reading in 2016 were from the NYT

Jeffrey Epstein to Lawrence Summers (both of whom are very bad people): “i have met some very bad people , none as bad as trump. not one decent cell in his body. so yes- dangerous”

A visual metaphor for the moment.

After his defeat in the general elections in the Netherlands, Wilders, leader of the far right PVV, complains that ballots have disappeared and that results have been rigged. This is the characteristic behaviour of a Trumpian liar who cannot accept his loss. He should stop whining. #LoserWilders

Posted by the perpetually online full-time social media troll who holds the title of Vice President of the United States.

Dutch rightwing politician Wilders accuses, without evidence, election offices in the #Netherlands of possible electoral fraude after his party lost many seats yesterday in the #DutchElections. Like Trump, he exposes himself as a sore loser after the surprising win of the centre-left liberal D66.

"It is up to us, a new generation, to carry our European flag with pride. We are a beacon of freedom and human dignity in a world on fire. Europe is the most beautiful place on earth" Rob Jetten, incoming Dutch PM, is a national leader speaking as a European; let’s hope he will also act as such

Netanyahu keeps bombing his way out of court. Probably a coincidence.

In the very last 'poll of polls' in #TheNetherlands the center/center left parties take around 50% of the vote, the right/ultra right around 41%. Rest is mostly leftwing. But 35 % of voters have not made a final decision. Tomorrow: #DutchElections

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

No Kings Day message to Trump: Other than your coterie of ass-kissers, nobody likes you.

New in PN: No Kings was a huge success. Just look at Trump's response. "Calling this movement 'No Kings' turns out to have been a stroke of genius, because Trump’s response was to essentially say *Yeah, I’m the king — and because I’m the king, I can poop on people!*"

Great sign!

Misschien, heel misschien, vonden we zorg al die tijd al wel gewoon superbelangrijk en hadden de journalisten dat niet goed door omdat ze als een kip zonder kop achter Geert aan holden

The Dutch intelligence services are sharing less information with the United States and working more closely with European partners, AIVD director Erik Akerboom and MIVD director Peter Reesink have told the Volkskrant in a joint interview.

Trump posting a video of himself dropping a huge shit on America is probably the most accurate public statement he has ever made.
