Goede keuze @volkskrant.nl β€” academisch marginaal, maar politiek radikaal!

Terrorizing marginalized populations to create (social) media content is the perfect capture of Trump 2.0.

β€œMending the Line” is a powerful drama about a wounded soldier who is taught to fly fish by an old veteran as part of his therapy. Based on a real story, it is exceptional in terms of the action, cinematography, and scenery. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

β€œWidow’s Game” (2025) is a movie about a police investigation into murder and manipulation. Based on a real story, it does a good job at letting the bizarre story take center stage. πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Έ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

In β€œMercy for None” a former mobster comes back to revenge the murder of his brother and takes down the whole organization. Over the top but entertaining for the first 4 episodes β€” still, by the 6th you no longer care who or how many he kills. πŸ‡°πŸ‡· ⭐️⭐️

β€œAbducted at an HBCU: A Black Girl Missing” (2025) is a short drama-thriller about a student who gets abducted by a loverboy who runs a trafficking ring and a student advisor desperate to find her. Based on true stories, which makes it even more depressing. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ ⭐️⭐️⭐️

β€œThe 355” (2022) is a very well-made action movie set across the globe that has a feminist twist. While story is not remarkable, the group of leading women are. And I’m also a sucker for people speaking their own languages. Overall, very entertaining. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Some movie reviews again. It’s getting harder, as Netflix US makes more and more shitty stuff that is all the same β€” whatever country it is made in. 🧡

Migration and sexist or sexual violence: is there a correlation? The argument that immigration has a negative impact on public safety has become a running theme in public debate, and it goes hand in hand with the old stereotype of violence against β€œour” women.

The answer is β€œNO” and should have been in the title of this otherwise excellent @voxeurop.bsky.social article.

β€œgiven equivalent demographic and socio-economic characteristics, immigrants are no more likely than native-born people to commit a crime.”

Ja, ook legale uiterst-rechtse opvattingen!

Het is aan liberaal-democratic he fans om hun opvattingen te uiten.

Voetbalclub SC Cambuur roept fans op Nederlandse vlag thuis te laten: ‘Heeft politieke lading gekregen’ Voetbal: Na de moord op de 17-jarige Lisa in Amsterdam, halverwege augustus, toonden voetbalsupporters door stadions in het hele land de Nederlandse vlag. Dat kreeg al snel een extreemrechtse connotat...

Als je een afspiegeling van de hele samenleving wil zijn, dan ontmoedig je geen (legale) politieke opvattingen, maar sta je ze toe in je stadion!

This advertisement, aimed at law enforcement personnel to leave β€œsancionary cities” and join ICE, is running at several breaks of the Texas-Florida football game on ESPN in my area. One even explicitly targeted Atlanta law enforcement personnel.

I just saw this 2 minute (!) ad at the half-time break of a Ligue 1 game on Bein Sports. 🀯

Allegedly, more than 1 million people have taken this free propaganda course.

Yet another reason why public education should be free β€” or, at the very least, affordable to everyone!

Yes, a massive network of churches, a large union network, well-funded NGOs….

We focus way too much on what politicians say ,or allegedly believe, rather than what they actually do.

Alleged β€œbeliefs” are also often used to justify illiberal and undemocratic policies and rhetoric.

In terms of political relevance, there is a clear hierarchy between what politicians:

DO (crucial)

SAY (important)

BELIEVE (irrelevant) *

* if it is unrelated to the other two.

If it walks like…

Does it really matter if Babis doesn’t believe that he says if he has been campaigning on far-right issues and aligning with far-right parties for years?

SPD rejected a coalition with ANO? Or did they say something vague as "result means we have to rethink etc etc"

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte calls the U.S. a "perfect democracy" on Dutch tv. 🀦

Mark Rutte wouldn't recognize a "perfect democracy" if it hit him in the face. Or care much about it, given his long career of weakening liberal democracy in the Netherlands.

ANO did much better than predicted, SPD slightly worse.

Turnout was high (68.6%), again showing that high turnout is no longer a problem for the far right.

Looks like the gang is back together... πŸ˜”
