Wat goed! Ik ben enorm fan van lid zijn van een partij of vakbond, juist doordat mensen samen sterker staan. Goede voorbeelden vind ik de vakbonden die tegen Tesla zijn opgetrokken in Scandinavië. Of hoe ik nu meekrijg hoe de partij waar ik lid van ben bouwt aan een betere wereld. Zie ook je DMs:)

Utah Republican proposes sale of more than 2 million acres of US lands More than 2 million acres of federal lands would be sold to states or other entities under a budget proposal from Utah Republican Sen. Mike Lee — including some in San Diego and Imperial Counties.

We cannot overstate how dangerous this is. They want to sell off our public lands, harming thousands in the process. Keep shouting from the rooftops. Tell your members to vote NO. www.kpbs.org/news/environ...

Yesterday, Donald Trump said that the U.S. has "too many non-working holidays."

Our so-called "pro-worker president" thinks that workers should have fewer days off.

Meanwhile, he's spending a huge chunk of his presidency (and taxpayer dollars) on the golf course.

Hello?

He didn’t even have to say Trump’s name

The (Man-Made) Perfect Storm Three crises are unfolding simultaneously. And they have all been created intentionally.

"Not all Republicans? Maybe? If you gave congressional Republicans truth serum, a majority of them might say that they’re terrified about where this all leads and wish they could throw the emergency brake on the train."

The DOGE Axe Comes for Libraries and Museums The Institute of Museum and Library Services has long received bipartisan support. But after years of trying, President Donald Trump has delivered it a crushing blow.

The Trump administration, with Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency, has gutted a small federal agency that provides funding to libraries and museums nationwide.

This threatens student field trips, classes for seniors, and access to digital library services.

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

A sustainable world that works well for everyone - we all want to go there, but (1) the picture of what it could look like and (2) the roadmap how to get there need a serious boost. Currently studying this, can pont me to books, thinkers concepts that are relevant in this context? Much appreciated!

1. Trump and his Death Eaters cannot tolerate any rival power. Europe, when united, is a major trading and diplomatic bloc. They see Russia (much less of a threat to US hegemony) as an excellent instrument for breaking up Europe, by threat or by force.🧵

Dozens of CFPB Workers Fired in After-Hours Blitz Some affected employees of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau were notified with an email that addressed them as [EmployeeFirstName][EmployeeLastName], [Job Title], [Division].

I'm hearing now that *every* technologist CFPB hired to investigate Big Tech was fired this evening. That's somewhere between 70-100 people.

Hi Kate! Oh wow, its really cool to receive a response from you!

We might yearn for paradise, temporal or spiritual. But to our descendents our habitable planet will look like an almost unimaginable paradise. No tech fantasy, no space station or controlled environment will ever compare.
Fight for what we have. This is our heaven, and there can be no other.

I love and agree with this take. What's needed for everyone, everywhere is a way to facilitate conversation between all parties. A platform that moderates in a healthy way (removing hatred) and with algorithms that can support conversation is the way to go. Let's have the conversations.:)

Arendt: "The reason why the totalitarian regimes can get so far toward realizing a fictitious, topsy-turvy world is that the outside nontotalitarian world, which always comprises a great part of the population of the totalitarian country itself, indulges also in wishful thinking and shirks reality in the face of real insanity just as much as the masses do in the face of the normal world. This common-sense disinclination to believe the monstrous is constantly strengthened by the totalitarian ruler himself, who makes sure that no reliable statistics, no controllable facts and figures are ever published, so that there are only subjective, uncontrollable, and unreliable reports about the places of the living dead."
