De belastingkorting van dit kabinet aan buitenlandse aandeelhouders blijkt nog veel groter te zijn dan eerder gedacht:

€2,2 miljard per jaar!

GroenLinks-PvdA wil deze sluiproute in de dividendbelasting zo snel mogelijk dichten & het geld teruggeven aan de Nederlandse belastingbetaler.

🇳🇱💶 Taxing share buybacks would generate at least 2.2 billion euros per year in the Netherlands, our new research reveals.

⚠️ The state is missing out on vital funds, but there are clear reasons why it maintains this loophole.

The world’s largest meat producer, JBS, avoided paying up to $442 million in taxes between 2019 and 2022. Their tactics have poised them for global dominance, but at what cost?

Het is dat ze geen watermeloen-button droegen, anders werd dit misschien wel antisemitisch genoemd.

“Illinois governor says we’re provoking actions that are unlawful,” Miller said on CNN. “If I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice sleepy Southern town, is anyone gonna riot?”

NEW RESEARCH: our @somoamsterdam.bsky.social investigation reveals ExxonMobil has been a driving force behind the gutting of the EU’s landmark supply chain law #CSDDD.

Exxon’s goal? “Withdrawal or substantial modifications” – in other words, killing the CSDDD.

I can't stop thinking about 1 sentence in today's UN report regarding Israel's genocide in Gaza. "Israeli security forces shot at & killed civilians, including children who were holding makeshift white flags. Some children, including toddlers, were shot in the head by snipers.”

Nothing to add.

We strongly condemn the US sanctions against Palestinian human rights organisations: ‎Al-Haq‎, Al Mezan, and the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights.

Our Palestinian partner organisations are targeted because of their key role in accountability efforts, including at the ICC.

We will be back in court tomorrow demanding an end to the Dutch state’s role in enabling Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza and its unlawful military occupation and colonisation of Palestinian land.

Europe learned to love American gas. This is how Trump wrecks it. Backroom deals, embassy contacts and brown liquor built a booming export trade. Now, the lobbyist who saw it all says the U.S. president’s dalliances with Vladimir Putin are an incoming “aste…

Palestinian children have been killed at a rate of more than one child per hour during Israel's war in Gaza.

“A whole classroom of children killed every day for nearly two years,” UNICEF’s executive director said.

Here are some of their stories: wapo.st/3UCiAjn

Israel’s food points are not just death traps – they’re an alibi for the starvation of Gaza | Alex de Waal We saw famine in Biafra and Ethiopia. In the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’s ‘aid distribution system’ we see an attempt to destroy a whole society, says academic and writer Alex de Waal

“The social breakdown that we are witnessing, the degrading of human beings, is not a byproduct of the harm that Israel is inflicting. That’s the central element of the crime: destroying Palestinian society.”

People in #Gaza, including UNRWA colleagues, are fainting due to severe hunger. They are being starved.

Meanwhile, just a few kilometers away from Gaza supermarkets and shops are loaded with food and other goods.

Lift the siege.

Allow UNRWA to bring in food and medicines.

Bijzonder goede reportage van De Marker over het AZC-protest in Helmond.

Een artiest moet het land ontvluchten, omdat de fractievoorzitter van de @vvdonline.bsky.social, in navolging van extreemrechtse opiniemakers, zijn leven in gevaar bracht met leugens en verdachtmakingen.

Wat een land. Wat een verschrikkelijke nachtmerrie.

Dit is ronduit schandalig. Ledenwerving voor een aan de VVD-gelieerde omroep, vermomd als journalistiek. Een innige verstrengeling van partij- en omroepbelangen waar Berlusconi jaloers op zou zijn geweest. Dit is geen publieke omroep meer, dit is politieke propaganda. Corrupte bende!

EU weighs 'Israel' trade deal as leaked war crimes report hits hard A leaked 2024 EU report published by EUobserver accuses "Israel" of war crimes in Gaza, citing mass killings and starvation tactics.

Dear Commission President @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu

A report for the @ec.europa.eu on the situation in Gaza has been published @euobserver.com Other media report on it english.almayadeen.net/news/politic...

Will Commission draw conclusion that art 2 of EU-Israel Association agreement is violated?

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government.

But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes.

Where is the outrage over that?

Plannen Hermans helpen industrie, maar kans op halen klimaatdoel lijkt klein Duidelijk is dat het ministerie denkt zo'n 10 megaton CO2-uitstoot te kunnen besparen. Het is de vraag of dat genoeg is voor het wettelijke klimaatdoel.

Dit kabinet – en minister Hermans voorop – kiest stelselmatig voor de duurste, meest tijdrovende en lastigst uitvoerbare vormen van energie: kernenergie en CCS + fossiel 🧵👇
