Ik schrijf voor het schoolkrantje nu meer dan twee jaar over de terreur van de christelijk-conservatieve VSP. Als dit moslims waren geweest, waren er Kamervragen gesteld, had iedereen het er in de talkshows over gehad. Maar het zijn witte jongens, dus niemand geeft een fuck.

interesting parallel between Brexit and Maga: both fundamentally underestimate their country's dependence on the goodwill of its allies, because the very realization of that dependency contradicts their fantasies of omnipotence.

Remember that there is a legitimately elected president of Venezuela: Edmundo Gonzalez. He won the election in 2024.

Prima. De schaamte is volkomen verdwenen bij racisten, die door sociale media geen idee meer lijken te hebben dat discriminatie bij wet verboden is. Burgers moeten, bij gebreke van afdoende overheidshandelen, onderling zorgen dat schaamte en consequenties weer normaal worden.

I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

Column | Feiten over asielmigratie dreigen zinloos te worden Doen feiten er nog toe? Of wordt de publieke opinie definitief bepaald door percepties, selectief versterkt door (sociale) media? Ik begon hier aanvankelijk welgemoed aan een stukje over de berg aan m...

β€˜Criminaliteit onder asielmigranten, blijkt uit onderzoek, is een probleem van een kleine minderheid. En het is niet groter dan onder de autochtone bevolking. Uit de registraties blijkt dat 97 procent van asielmigranten door de politie β€˜nooit’ van een misdrijf is verdacht’

A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS. He was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump, with his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump Administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness, and with the Golden Age of America upon us, perhaps like never before. May Rob and Michele rest in peace!

A flow chart shows 17.4 million leave voters in 2016, vs 16.1m remain. In 2025, 5 million of those people have died, and 3 million new voters have come of age.

The result (plus some people changing their mind) is 19.8 million voters now back rejoin, versus just 11.7 million wanting to stay out.

#HandsOFF our democracy β€” Defend Democracy Speech by Defend Democracy at the 'Hands Off Our Democracy' protest in front of the European Commission, urging to them defend our democracy and our Europe.

"Since at least 2014 we are watching a coup against democracy unfold. It is the combination of hybrid warfare, rise of the far-right, and tech coup.

How long can Europe hold the line if we don’t take defending our democracy as serious as defending our territory?"

Trump Administration Live Updates: Pentagon Accepts $130 Million Donation to Help Pay Troops During Shutdown

The amount is meaningless β€” less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.

Authoritarianism Feels Surprisingly Normalβ€”Until It Doesn’t Life in Venezuela was deceptively mundane. Then everything collapsed.

"Living through the rise of a dictatorship just means inhabiting a space that is gradually shrinking. There’s no point in resisting, not at first. You just make do with whatever breathing room you still haveβ€”until you lose that too."
