Euhm @demorgen.be. Vooruit is wel niet origineel in deze ...

Already looking forward now to @politico.eu diving into the buddy-buddy relationship De Wever curated with Russia during his time as mayor in Antwerp. www.euractiv.com/news/belgium...

Sanchez is correct in refusing to allow the US to use joint military bases to carry out their war crimes against the people of Iran. He demonstrates real spine here, and models leadership to the rest of Europe.

Good news: Scientists were wrong about how bad sea level rise is. Bad news: It’s even worse than we thought.

"The Greens are now the most popular party in all age categories under 50. Some 49% of 18-24 year olds would back the Greens, as well as 27% of 25 to 49-year-olds - the top choice." (Yougov-Poll)

After US strikes took out multiple layers of the Iranian regime ... ... I can't stop thinking about Hegseth's move last year of bringing the entire military brass together at one location. 🤯

Vier foto's. Eén vraag. Van wie is de openbare ruimte? #Antwerpen

'Pompeii' is Gaza ... 😓 And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love Grey clouds roll over the hills bringing darkness from above And if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like you've been here before? How am I gonna be an optimist about this? #Bastille #freePalestine

The incoherent ramblings of tyrants have long echoed through the halls of the U.N., but this neverending brain dump of factless junk is unrivaled. How anyone can giggle at this train wreck is beyond me. Walk out, for crying out loud. We’re so utterly f’ed.

These are the times I miss Christopher Hitchens the most. He'd cut through all the bs and noise that's being generated with I'll intent eloquently and without hesition.

Randomly thinking about this news from a couple months ago. edition.cnn.com/2025/06/04/u...

Kristi Noem komt naar de Antwerpse haven. De Wever en Van Doesburg ontvangen haar hoogstpersoonlijk. Hopelijk zijn de ordediensten op de hoogte en krijgen de viervoeters van het korps een dagje vrij.

Deze passage in @demorgen.be zegt alles over de krampachtige wanhoop waarmee Eeckhout zijn cynisch narratief probeert te zetten. Er zijn gvd bomen gekapt op 50 meter van Almaci's voordeur. En Vanden Berghe is fractieleider in de Antwerpse gemeenteraad. Gimme a f'ing break.

International Court of Justice ruling: „countries have a legal obligation to limit the emissions of planet-heating greenhouse gases and provide restitution if their specific actions caused harm.“ www.nytimes.com/2025/07/23/c...

Justice Sonia Sotomayor on Thursday night urged the legal profession to toughen up. "If you’re not used to fighting, and losing battles, then don’t become a lawyer," she said. Her remarks came against the backdrop of immense stress on lawyers from the Trump administration.

Olé! #habemus

Such an impressive tribute. Would be amazing if this initiative gained recognition in other countries as well. #heldenvanhetverzet www.brusselstimes.com/1566376/form...

Says the guy making a big deal about the autopen ...

No exaggeration, deep sea mining could cause the massive collapse of the entire deep sea ecosystem and food chain. This is an existential risk to every person on this planet. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/c...

"A survey of more than 500 political scientists finds that the vast majority think the United States is moving swiftly from liberal democracy toward some form of authoritarianism." www.npr.org/2025/04/22/n...

So powerful. youtube.com/watch?v=cXR5...

Bezuinigen op NMBS en verwachten dat ze een nieuw station opendoen gaat niet samen. Al tig keer waarschuwen we met Groen voor het verkeersinfarct dat er zit aan te komen in Antwerpen. Hoog tijd voor een noodplan. Zie ook: www.groenantwerpen.be/rampplan?fbc...

His weird relationship to the word 'Groceries' already told you Trump basically lost touch with normal society decades ago. His description of the reaction to a economic meltdown as 'yippie' tells you when. Early 70's ...

So Trump is basically forcing the world to chose between a stable autocratic economic super power or the unstable version of it a.k.a. the U.S. Tough call, Mr. stable genius.

I'm not sure that's the takeaway here, Mr. Rennison. 🤦‍♂️ #tarrifs

My heart goes out to all those CEO's who moved their entire supply chain to the U.S. last night.

Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do. T. Snyder

1) Do something autocratic 2) Wait to see how people react 3) If they don't push back hard enough, carry on 4) If they do push back hard enough, "pause" it 5) Illegally consolidate more power 6) Repeat

The only upside about seeing the markets crash, is that we see the numbers. We see the graphs. We see the effects of Trump's decisions. Where are the graphs for the fight against poverty, hunger or disease? Where are the graphs showing the damage to our climate? The impact on public service? ...

Spectacular view of 100,000 people attending the #HandsOff march in NYC

Anyone still in denial? Anyone still sane washing? Anyone still convinced 'it's gonna be alright'?

In 2025 is het je regeringsleider die beslist wie er gearresteerd wordt (of niet) … of het nu Trump of BDW is. Het is het duimpje van de keizer waarmee wordt beslist.

Verblind door 'de kant van het licht'.

Piffer, De Decker, Scarponi, Rebellin, Kämna, Buck-Gramcko, Briese, Augenstein, Gentzik, Kessler, Boos, Van Dam, Evenepoel, Le Mouel, Richardson, Moschetti, Gillett, Rhodes, Yaxley, Dombrowski, … En komt tom Boonen beweren dat Speed-elecs gevaarlijk zijn dan wagens … gimme a break en do better.

Feels like someone just spend the afternoon rolling 3D20.

How do authoritarian regimes arrest people? In plain clothes. In unmarked cars. With no justification or identification. This scene from 'I'm still here' echoes history to today and eerily resembles the ICE scenes coming from the USA ... youtu.be/mtXCWXkgCFg?...

Signalgate turned out to be the perfect illustration of Roy Cohn's three rules. Number 1: attack, attack, attack. Number 2: admit nothing and deny everything. Number 3: no matter what happens, you claim victory and never admit defeat Everything we see is this in action. Don't obey, and you're out.

What a read. Such a disgrace that those most vulnerable are gonna be once again the ones to bear the burden. Trump and DOGE Propel V.A. Mental Health System Into Turmoil www.nytimes.com/2025/03/22/u...

Turns out that the whole counter-slogan "All Lives Matter" was nothing more than a gratuitous, empty ploy to stoke political fires. Who could have guessed... "Musk Said No One Has Died Since Aid Was Cut. That Isn’t True." www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Onwaarschijnlijk: wat een geluk dat er niemand op dat fietspad was. Hier is een ramp op het nippertje vermeden. Er moeten zo snel mogelijk maatregelen genomen worden om zulke risico’s te vermijden www.gva.be/regio/antwer...

Don't think I've heard someone describe the tremendous impact of the gutting of US AID. On so many levels barbaric, stupid and villainous. Atul Gawande on Elon Musk’s “Surgery with a Chainsaw”. #thePoliticalSceneTheNewYorker podcastaddict.com/the-politica...

Zo ergerlijk dat deze historische vondst bejubeld en misbruikt wordt om de grote archeologische meerwaarde van de Oosterweel-graafwerken te claimen ... Het erfgoed wordt wel afgebroken en dus is het voor altijd verloren. Alle documentatie ten spijt. pers.antwerpen.be/archeologen-...

Wereldwijd zijn er weinig regio's zo verdicht en verhard als Vlaanderen, maar deze federale regering komt weer niet verder dan natuurgebied op te offeren voor militaire installaties. Het gekir van De Crem en Francken spreekt boekdelen. www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/20...

De ontkenning van de financiële situatie rond #Oosterweel begint hallucinante proporties aan te nemen. Bijna zoals klimaatontkenners, wetenschappers opzij schuiven, zijn het hier zowel politici als actiegroepen die totaal het daglicht ontkennen. De gevolgen gaan niet te overzien zijn …

Twee cijfers uit het Rekenhofrapport zeggen alles: 17 miljard euro extra rente, af te betalen door volgende generaties. En 35 miljard euro tolinkomsten, uit de lucht gegrepen. Oosterweel is een financiële nachtmerrie, maar volgens de minister "robuust". 'There are no Americans in Baghdad!'

Factory reset was like the first thing I did ... #chromecast

Such an achievement by 'Helden van het Verzet' to give this story international attention. Happy for Dany, touched that these letters gain wide recognition now. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

We really need a way to filter out all these stand-up comedy 'movies' on @letterboxd.social. Such cluttter! There I said it. #rantoff #letterboxd
