A judge has ruled the Trump admin can move forward in deporting Mahmoud Khalil, a permanent US resident currently languishing in a detention centre despite having committed no crime beside speaking out for Palestinians rights. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

'om dreiging' ??? Algemeen Hollands en Algemeen Vlaams drijven verder uit elkaar

This particularly has given me the impression that the circle around trump wants to sink developing economies mainly in Africa and Asia to force them into subjugation. A neocolonial project?

A bunch of people cán stop the stupid decisions, they actively choose not to

Hong Kong and Belarus can tell you that if that government receives enough foreign support that's not enough

“Hey, ignore the markets” - every CNBC-type jerkoff whose entire professional life until January 20, 2025 at 12:01 PM revolved around whether the stock market was up or down

The main checks on Trump and Musk aren’t coming from a compliant Republican Congress but from the courts and Trump’s own sensitivity to reactions from markets and the public.

Zó geweldig dat er dubbel zo veel treinen zijn tussen Brussel en Rotterdam... Zo handig bij een incident, dan kan je gewoon de volgende nemen... Oh wacht nee, mag niet, want ik verschillend ticket met prijsverschil... En daarvoor is een ic naar Antwerpen gesneuveld 🙄 dank u @sncb-nmbs.bsky.social

De Franstalige nieuwszender LN24 kan blijkbaar, 5 jaar na de lancering, niet langer op eigen benen staan. Concurrent RTBF wordt erbij geroepen voor een deal... Best apart.

I can be as critical as anyone of the government's occasionally muddled message on growth but Look! At! This! Chart!! Anything they've done pales next to this GIGANTIC UNFORCED ERROR COMMITTED IN 2016! (fagpacket maths follows) on.ft.com/4hzyvbJ

Congratulations to Mike Johnson for trying to pressure the House Ethics Committee into burying a report that found the then-nominee for attorney general had engaged in sexual activity with a minor. Party of Family Values, am I right?

Zondag (gisteren) in de parels van West-Brabant met @tbrd.bsky.social

A lot of US institutions seem to be dysfunctional... This is extremely weak

What I don't get about Threads, is that is just becoming a sleeker version of Instagram... Just integrate it already!

Pretty sad really... I think much of this could have been avoided if Tumblr was still alive

Tbh, being on Bluesky really makes me realize how on Twitter I constantly got tweets from the same 10-20 accounts, some of which I did not even follow. Here the voices are much more scattered... Interesting but chaotic

"Don't be mistaken: We're not here to normalize Donald Trump," Joe says after having done just that. "Obey in advance.

Wow, the #BlueSky app access to my phone's photo library is so much smoother and faster than when I used the twitter app, a real improvement

Google is withdrawing from the political ad market in the EU, blaming a lack of precision in the definition of a "political ad" in new EU regulations that come into force next year. This leaves Meta as an effective monopolist in the market. blog.google/around-the-g...

Don't comply with Russian censorship!

It really is amazing just how big a difference institutions can make to our politics. Here's the effective number of seat-winning parties in New Zealand before and after it switched to a mixed-member proportional system

So glad Garland spent so much capital on restoring norms. It’s like washing all of your china before they let in the bull.

For now, BlueSky feels very anglocentric. Most of Europe doesn't seem to have made the switch (yet?) Where is #EUSky? 🇪🇺

A year ago, Azerbaijan ethnically cleansed 100,000 Armenians. Today it is hosting the world climate summit (COP29). When there are no consequences - these things will happen again and again and again.

With each thing I hear out of the Trump transition office, it’s hard to shake the feeling that the people who voted for him have killed their own country. The latest is a gutting of environmental protection. Pollution that affects poor communities will be allowed to run rampant.

The most predictable thing ever really...

Anyone know a cool political discord server I could join? DMs are open

The entire campaign was Trump going "I am going to screw you over" and voters going "he doesn't mean it." Meanwhile, Harris was saying, "I am going to help you" and they all went, "she doesn't mean it." No fucking idea how you win elections or run a country like this.

Eh, could be much worse ig

Yes because it is a cult.

the fact that multiple newspapers are altering their coverage of the election based on fear of reprisal from one candidate is, in fact, a Giant Fucking Story

Like many Twitter exiles to Bluesky, @mikemakowsky.bsky.social feels there’s something lacking. He voices my thoughts better than I could: https://buff.ly/3BQbqBX

Trump is directly communicating with Netanyahu to prevent an Israeli-Hamas ceasefire because he thinks it will help Kamala, PBS News reports.

the attacks on Ella Emhoff (as well as Lin Yu-ting and Imane Khalif) are part of what trans people have correctly warned about for a long time: the rise in transphobia will target cis women too.

I know it's whiny, but the thing I liked most about the Other Social Network is that almost all the communities I wanted to follow were present on one platform. Now it starts to fragment, any other platform feels one-sided. I miss the old days...

I think I have to skeet to get an invite
