De BBB neemt al de hele week alles en iedereen de maat over de situatie in Iran. De EU zou volgens hen stil blijven, linkse partijen zouden niet snel, en niet hard genoeg reageren. Vandaag was er eindelijk een debat over de situatie in Iran. BBB was zo’n beetje als enige partij afwezig.

3 months ago. Things didn't change. Now here we are.

I am calling for a complete and total boycott of the Mercator projection in all news stories about Greenland until every member of the American public has seen this

Egypt sugar workers block trucks, expand protests over pay and job security

Op Schouwen Duiveland komen jaarlijks meer dan 5 miljoen toeristen. Ook is er een noodopvang voor 250 asielzoekers. Volgens de plaatselijke VVD heeft Schouwen Duiveland met die 250 asielzoekers 'de maximale draagkracht' bereikt; een te grote impact op voorzieningen en het dagelijkse leven.

As I mentioned on this morning's DSR Daily...this is an excellent column from @edwardluce.bsky.social underscoring a global trend that no American should be comfortable with...that is 100% result of the Trumpian chaos that has consumed Washington, DC.

Irony is dead, came back to life, died again, and is now shambling across the world looking for brains to devour

Updated my friend in Gaza: "My city is safe right now. But Minneapolis has just shut down its schools after the federal secret police began raiding them. It is a conflict between federal authorities, who are fascist, and local ones, assaulted because they are liberal."

For more context and historical background, check out my two previous @uisweden.bsky.social reports on Russian Middle East policy: • “Russia in the Middle East,” www.ui.se/globalassets... • “From Cold War to Civil War: 75 Years of Russian-Syrian Relations” www.ui.se/butiken/uis-....

Ik was even aan het slapen. Opent soc. media en zie dat het alles nog hetzelfde is.

Reminder, voor wie het nodig heeft: Sociale huurders zijn niet het probleem. Het tekort aan betaalbare (huur)woningen wel.

Ah. Cos-player gets again some TV time on Fox.

Nobody surprised.

Everyone has had a manager like this

A world viewed as if it is a theatre of gaming. Full of sound and fury. Served by all-powerful idiots.

The remarkable thing here isn't the universal revulsion. Its that two large parties - Reform and the Conservatives - are trying to maintain stances favoured by around 0-1% of the public. Polling like this also suggests that whenever Labour does develop enough backbone to act, there's no going back

(En een sneer tegen de witte wijn slippende grachtengordelelite ook nog even ertussenin gerommeld)

Fortunately there are people as Cynthia Miller-Idriss that provides us guidance through the dark and frightening times we now live in.

Voor de weerliefhebbers - vandaag mooi fenomeen: "rokende sneeuw". Zag het vandaag op meerdere plekken, bijvoorbeeld tegen bosranden waar nog sneeuwvelden liggen. Oorzaak: bijzondere combi van sneeuw met zeer hoge luchttemperaturen (+8,5C!) waardoor veel waterdamp boven de koude sneeuw condenseert.

Heel goed. Krankzinnig en amateuristisch dat het Zelfbenoemde Redelijke Midden enerzijds een linkse partij buiten de coalitie-onderhandelingen laat omdat de extreemrechtse VVD ze niet hun democratisch mandaat wil geven, maar anderzijds wel hun fiat wil en medewerking eist voor hun neoliberale beleid

Dit is zo alarmerend. Liever dat kansloze ‘soevereinen’ met hun chemtrails de biezen pakken, dan dat 2e of 3e generatie Nederlanders zich niet welkom voelen in hun eigen land. Weggepest door uiterstrechtse tokkies, terwijl ‘centrumrechts’ de ogen dichtkneep en stiekem aanmoedigde.

Excellent instructional video pass it on

Why does she hate Palestinians so much, that she jumps to make these baseless accusations?

Rechts-nationalistische partijen zijn géén ‘gezonde correcties op ons politieke systeem’, ze zijn blaasbalgen die de onvrede verder aanwakkeren en extreme denkbeelden normaliseren.

Well this all looks fine

As anti-regime demonstrations fill the streets of Iran, the day may be nearing when the exiled heir of the country's last shah Reza Pahlavi returns. He has told us how Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei could be overthrown.

"When the judge read him his rights, Pittman said, “Jesus Christ is Lord.”" When will moderate white Christians stand up and denounce the extremists in their community?

.@gideonrachman is right. This would be the flex. Europe has cards to play. But will it choose to play them?
