Goed van ze! Het is de hoogste tijd om selectief te zijn en om onze eigen normen te hanteren.

Thinking of the other important woman, Mary Magdalene.

- Het Pentagon start een onderzoek naar Democratisch senator Mark Kelly na zijn oproep aan militairen om illegale bevelen te weigeren. Minister Hegseth dreigt hem in actieve dienst te herstellen om hem zo te kunnen berechten voor een krijgsraad.

We wish this to be true.

‘Marktdenken zit digitale veiligheid in de weg’ Te lang heeft de Nederlandse overheid bij veel problemen gedacht: de markt lost het wel op, zegt informaticus Ilyaz Nasrullah. Daarmee snijdt zij zichzelf nu in de vingers.

Zo zoetjesaan wordt het unverfroren marktdenken echt een probleem. Een ideologische verblinding die niet in ons belang is. www.trouw.nl/politiek/mar...

En dat allemaal vanwege de keizerlijke ambities van een dwerg.

Gender-based violence has no place in a free and equal society.
No woman or girl should have to live in fear.

On International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, we call for an end to all forms of violence and affirm the right for every women to live in safety and dignity.

Last year, the EU adopted its first-ever law to fight violence against women and domestic violence.

But this is not the end of the story.

Tonight, Europe shines orange as a reminder of our responsibility:

To ensure every woman can live without fear.

The US demands on European digital ruling are blackmail. Europe should never bow .
Tariffs work both sides so no panic.

The 28-points plan is an extortion. The 'demands' came from Dmitriev, Putin's mouthpiece.
Fortunately Ukraine and its allies in Europe quickly saw that.

Good for her.

Russian Unreality and American Weakness Notes from a bizarre moment of diplomatic history

We are in a bizarre moment of diplomatic history. The purported "peace plan" that appeared a few days ago beings in Russian unreality and American weakness. Demanding everything of Ukraine and nothing of Russia, its purpose is imperialism and profiteering.

If course they do.
More sanctions until they give up.

It
does
not
work.

It's wishful thinking.

Is ook wel lastig met zo'n hoofddeksel.

ICE kidnapped a 17-year-old U.S. citizen named Christian Jimenez. Jimenez, a high school senior born in Newberg, Oregon, was driving on his school’s lunch break when ICE/CBP agents stopped his car, smashed his window, and abducted him on November 21, 2025.

Author of leaked BBC memo tells MPs broadcaster ‘not institutionally biased’ – latest updates Michael Prescott tells select committee ‘there was no ideology at play’ when he wrote memo

Geen sprake van
een 'blamage' voor de BBC.
Nu zegt auteur van de gelekte memo dat de BBC niet 'institutioneel bevooroordeeld is'.

De fuzz rond de Panorama video over Trump was dan ook zwaar overdreven.

True. The needs described by Rogers are being abused. E.g. there is a need for comfort, ease.
Vance Packard once described how consumers were lured.
Now things are forced upon us. The power of citizens is being a consumer.
Thinking of plastics.

It's more than that. Corporations abuse human's psychological needs by creating ever more stuff that aren't basic at all. They make humans enslaved to their products without giving them a real choice.
Unregulated capitalism leads to corporatocracy. That's where we now are.

Spraakmakers: both-sideism doet meer kwaad dan goed tenzij je debunkt wat niet klopt.

Onderzoek: vrouwen-bedrijfsleven-lager salaris dan mannen.
Beller: bij ons in zorg niet want cao. Programma sluit.
Maar anecdotische gevallen kunnen dat onderzoek niet ontkrachten!

Putin and Trump/Vance must stop targeting Zelenskyy.
He is representing the Ukrainian people and the majority rejects the 28-points 'peace plan'made by Kirill Dmitriev and Donald Trump.

US and Ukraine promise ‘updated’ peace framework after criticism of pro-Russian points in original plan US-Ukraine statement comes hours after European countries propose their own alternative peace

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Yes we can. With sanctions, not (yet) with weapons.

Is this the education the 28-point 'peace plan' that Trump presented speaks about?

Mystery drones halt air traffic near Dutch city of Eindhoven It is the latest in a series of drone sightings near airports and military bases in northern Europe.

This is not the only place in NL where Russian drones are seen.

Just to let Putin know that we know.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz made clear: “This war can only end with Ukraine’s full consent. It cannot be resolved by great powers over the heads of those under attack.” He stressed that Europe must be part of any solution and warned that Ukraine’s defeat would destabilize the entire continent.

@kajakallas.bsky.social

How arrogant: the 'peace plan' speaks about a possible EU membership of Ukraine as granted by the US, while the White House has no say in it.

Who controlls education in Russia on tolerance?

What about the abducted Ukrainian children?
