Ga staan, blijf nooit zitten.

Wie blijft zitten helpt aan de normalisering wat in dit land nooit normaal mag worden gevonden.

Verbijsterend en gevaarlijk. Daarom vraag ik vandaag een extra regeling van werkzaamheden. Dit advies moet meteen openbaar.

It's like most countries, against theft.

Before long, nobody wants to be associated with the USA anymore. Fascism, or something modern that has replaced it, is taking over.

De Hitlergroet brengen, met de Prinsenvlag wapperen, overheidsgebouwen aanvallen. Iedereen met gezond verstand ziet: dit is rechtsextremisme.

Onacceptabel dat het kabinet weigert te erkennen wat er aan de hand is. We kunnen niet wegkijken. Dit is het moment om op te staan.

Europe is well positioned to manage financial stability risks arising from the Trump admin’s remaking of the global economic regime, @adamposen.bsky.social says. But Europe can & should rapidly increase its own self-insurance by supporting a global rise in € usage.

Minister Heinen zei vanochtend namens het kabinet dat de rellen van gisteren niet politiek moeten worden gemaakt.

Ik heb nieuws voor het kabinet: je kan niet iets politiek máken dat allang politiek ís.

NSB-vlaggen op het Malieveld. Geweld tegen de politie door extreemrechts. Onacceptabel. Dit zijn Trumpiaanse toestanden, gevoed door politici die angst en verdeeldheid zaaien.

Stil blijven is geen optie. Je moet je laten horen. Samen staan we sterker.

Trump's "crypto reserve" is yet another egregious robber baron heist. They're robbing the US taxpayer blind as they slash critical programs like medicaid and SNAP.

Putin can’t believe his luck. Here is Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov on Trump: “The new administration is fast changing all foreign policy configurations…This coincides with our vision in many ways.”

Trump now backs dictatorship, not democracy. We cannot allow that to stand.

Trump keert alle waarden om. Het slachtoffer wordt tot dader gemaakt en de agressor tot slachtoffer. Een sterk, eensgezind en weerbaar Europa is daarom nu nodig, voor onze veiligheid en die van Oekraïne.

Ik ga er om 16.00 uur Nederlandse tijd over in gesprek op @cnn.com.

An unconscionable post from Donald Trump about Zelenskyy, in which he calls him a "dictator" and threatens Ukraine's existence.

Congrats, America. We're now on Putin's side.

They’re fascists, objectively.

Bochum bleibt stabil.💪

YouTube video by CNN Bolton: ‘Trump has effectively surrendered to Putin

"President Trump has effectively surrendered to Putin before the negotiations have even begun."

Trump is the most easily manipulated person on the planet.

Why UK electricity costs high:
- main reason = high cost of gas, set by foreign owners, which sets electricity price
- out of date network, needs grid expansion
- Costs of polluting fossil fuels added to electricity cost.
No explanation why Scotland’s costs highest in UK, despite it producing most.

Now do non-college white males.

Is nogal wat he? Het verschil tussen een NGO (non-profit) en een agrarische industrie die economisch ons niet rijker maakt en groei van andere industrieën die meer opleveren in de weg zit.

Electric cars are far more efficient than petrol or diesel cars.

They use a third of the input energy and 6 times less fossil fuels in the UK.

Worth revisiting this @ember-energy.org piece from 2021, for some analysis on how fossil gas is the primary cause of skyrocketing electricity prices in the 2021-22 period

Turning Norway into an island and pulling up the bridges isn't going to protect us in this era

The most frustrating thing about continuing failure to skewer Farage is that his grasp of detail is non-existent. It’s why he gets petulant when exposed to even mildly decent questions. Interviewers just need to zone in on one element of the bullshit & interrogate it until his ignorance is exposed.

Farage on #r4today decrying the increase in costs & red tape since Brexit & calling for Brexit to be “done properly”.
No longer part of the customs union/single market -both of which simplified bureacracy- the costs & red tape on trade have ofc ballooned.
Why was this not put to him directly?

Ok, but let's not buy them from that fake untrustworthy ally on the other side of the ocean.

Trump is arguably the worst negotiator in history. He threatens to launch a trade war, undermines the United States' reputation, and ultimately secures a deal that provides him with no significant benefits, all the while garnering widespread disdain. Even my dog would do better!
