De Amerikaanse macht in de wereld neemt af – daarom gaat Donald Trump nu tot het uiterste om zo sterk mogelijk te blijven, zegt politicoloog Salvador Santino Regilme. In Trumps visie domineren China, Rusland en de VS elk hun eigen werelddeel.

YouTube video by TEDx Talks Foreign Aid: Saving Lives or Funding Domination? | Salvador Santino Regilme | TEDxTheHague

When does “help” become domination? In my TEDx talk, I show how foreign aid can bankroll security forces and fuel supply-chain exploitation, and how to redesign it to be locally led, rights-tied, transparent. www.youtube.com/watch?v=e32o...

Multiple times this year I’ve had coffee with fellow immigrants who grew up in corrupt third world countries and the shared sentiment has been that Americans don’t understand how bad things are going to get.

"Trump’s war on drugs during his first term performed an ideological war that had lethal consequences—mobilizing fear, justifying racialized punishment, and projecting authoritarian resolve—while leaving underlying structural crises largely unaddressed." www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

"The university is not a sanctuary; it is a frontline site in the global struggle over justice and human rights. To study global structures of power without acknowledging how our own institutions are shaped by them is not an act of neutrality—it is a failure of scholarly responsibility."

This is just appalling, disgusting, gutter racism.

Geert Wilders trekt PVV terug uit het kabinet-Schoof Kabinetscrisis: Geert Wilders trekt de PVV terug uit het kabinet-Schoof. In dit liveblog volgt NRC de laatste ontwikkelingen.

FINALLY! The dysfunctional far-right government Schoof has effectively fallen, after Wilders pulled his party from the coalition.

Importantly, this happens as his PVV is in a (free) fall and centrist parties PvdA/GL-CDA-D66 are polling at 40% together. But is VVD still liberal democratic party?

This is phenomenal.

Sea surface temperatures are >5C above average to the west of the UK and around Iceland. It's the strongest area of anomalous warmth on the planet at the moment.

It's the warmest in recorded history for northwest Europe.

The liberal insistence that Trump et al are just “stupid” and not deliberate in their choice of words and policies is absolutely infuriating. If they’re just “stupid” and you can’t beat them, then what are you? They’re intentional. They’re brutal. They’re organized. And they’re genuinely dangerous.

US ‘illegally deported’ Vietnamese and Burmese migrants to South Sudan Immigrant rights advocates say White House violated court order and ask judge to order nearly a dozen people’s return

It's not really deportation if people are sent to countries where they never lived. It's a human trafficking ring.

Just a reminder that the white nationalist Great Replacement Theory that's being pushed by Trump, Musk and their toadies has been responsible for multiple mass shootings in the last decade.

This is the threat to Americans' safety, not innocent immigrants who've committed no crimes here.

After Pope Francis, a Catholic Move Rightward Seems Likely Pope Francis brought a limited but desperately needed progressive spirit to the Catholic Church. Under his successor, that spirit is likely to wither.

The Philippines confronts Duterte’s authoritarian legacy at The Hague Former Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte’s reckoning at The Hague tests the limits of impunity and the resilience of Philippine democracy.

"As the first Asian leader to be arrested and detained in The Hague, Duterte is also the first to face trial specifically for state-initiated mass violence in the name of narcotics control. Yet, Duterte is not an outlier in waging an expansive state-led war on drugs"
