Maybe it’s because I’m a colonial historian but so many of these white nation states seem to behave exactly like they did in the 19th century: β€˜your leaders aren’t right for you,’ β€˜we’re only killing you/colonizing you/installing puppet leaders for your own good’

the war is unpopular but it's also illegal but it also doesn't serve any purpose but it also undermines diplomacy but it also is set to produce the opposite outcome as intended but it also already has hundreds dead and threatens more but it also will not make anything better for anyone but it also

Live updates: Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is dead Follow the latest news and live updates after Israel says it has launched a preemptive strike against Iran.

Replacing one dictator with another. It is never about the will of the people. Never.

Asked about who will replace Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Trump said, "I don’t know, but at some point they’ll be calling me to ask who I’d like."

Homeland Security Wants Social Media Sites to Expose Anti-ICE Accounts

Back in the day, people would have widely yelled outrage, which would have been 100% justified. Now a days we consider this this normal.

So how many characteristics do we need before you call a facist a facist ?

You are right, but exact estimates are never the goal either. But trends are clear. Impact will be terrible. Amd the global community needs to move with strong advocacy to push politicians to do the right thing.

Don't forget the lack of stability in regions and climate change, all massive potential amplifiers to global health. We see this horrible reality of a daily bases.

I believe this number is shocking, but also a huge underestimate. Diseases and conditions hardly show liniair growth in their impact. Take Malaria. One season of missed community interventions can make it radically expand. There are also major cuts in health workforce and training. #globalhealth

As Europeans we better have a critical look what is happening in our own neighbourhood instead of constantly staring oversees. #ICE European edition.

How US policies are reshaping global health and humanitarian aid, one year later We are witnessing the human costs of actions upending aid programs around the world

It has been one year since the Trump administration issued a series of executive actions that upended global health and humanitarian programs around the world.

Alleen idioten blijven de man appeasen. Giving all your lunch money to the strongest bully doesn't make him stop.

Rutte kan echt niet verder vallen met dat taalgebruik. Sommige mensen noemen dat schijnbaar diplomaten taal.

Schijnbaar geen enkel issue dat de man wetten breekt, verdragen sloopt.

Ontketende Trump ontpopt zich als bijzonder machtige president Een jaar geleden werd Donald Trump weer ingehuldigd als president van de Verenigde Staten. Op dit punt in zijn tweede termijn is duidelijk dat Trump dezelfde prioriteiten en impulsen heeft, maar zich ...

In many ways media have made Trump big. Here a Dutch reflection from the 'largest free' newswebsite in the Netherlands.

- You list all the things that would qualify Trump as a facist
- you call him the most special powerful president ever.

Greece, Italy, and many more countries. Human treatment standards are rapidly declining, don't think for a second it stops with 'those from far away'

Really interesting read by @adamjkucharski.bsky.social who knows his stuff. Already found this complex with R packages and people pressed run without any understanding of what context, input and output stood for. Today we have a huge blackbox and a tool for 'arm chair epis' producing nice visuals

Deze generatie van politici is een gevaar voor onze toekomst op alle fronten. Vooral niet doen wat ze moeten doen, en veel meel in de mond.

Onrecht veroordelen doen ze alleen als ze er financieel of persoonlijk mee kunnen winnen.

Shocking how the Trump rethoric is now spreading to all our global institution which were once intended to keep us together.

We are truly regressing into a new dark age.

Donald Trump says US is β€˜going to run’ Venezuela after overnight strikes – live US president says β€˜we’re going to run the country until a safe, proper and judicious transition’ can take place and that he is β€˜prepared’ for a second attack

Guess this is how the new world order does bussiness now.

Crazy times just became more crazy. And of course doesn't have anything to do with oil.

With massive funding cuts in health accross the board, it is good to see we keep on sharing experiences we have constructed over the years together with doctors, nurses, Healthcare staff, patients and communities.

So much progress that has been made, at risk of regress to worse times.
