Politieke spanning rond EU-terugkeerwet: VVD’er Azmani rechts ingehaald De hoop was om de Europese terugkeerwet met steun van de middenpartijen door het Europarlement te krijgen. Maar het lijkt er nu op dat de radicaal-rechtse partijen de doorslag gaan geven.

De christendemocratische EVP-fractie = Steigbügelhalter voor nazi's.

I don’t think Trump and his people are capable of engineering “distractions,” I think the mind-numbing chaos we see every day is straightforwardly the result of giving the dumbest, cruelest, most corrupt, most selfish people of a generation near-unmitigated power

Thought for a second “Radobank” was like a finance influencer (?) but no it’s a literal bank saying “guys I’m f***ing scared.”

De Vondst van de Dag gaat over een beweging die een bizarre politieke zwenk maakte. Kernfiguur was de Fries Paul Kiès, leider van de Troelstra Beweging Nederland. Na een mislukte actie om Kamerlid te worden voor de SDAP wendde hij zich als bewonderaar van het Rode Leger in 1937 1/7

Since I'm in a mildly contrarian mood I'd throw in that Middle East wars are not in my view the biggest risk to global stability. The situation is bad, but risks have been discussed long enough for it not to be a surprise

Every projection of global economic growth assumes a stable and united China.

Today, Ekrem Imamoglu stands trial on the most Kafkaesque allegation of establishing a " criminal organisation for illicit gain." The most threatening political rival to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan allegedly sought, through this purported network, +

Cartoon showing a mountain with three tiers. The top of the mountain is flat and forms the first tier; a villa stands here with a pool on the roof; a lawn with trees and a tennis court surrounds it, as well as a high wall. The second tier is also surrounded by a wall and consists of middle class houses. The lowest and smallest tier is crammed full of slum dwellings. Sewer pipes and garbage chutes jut out from the first and second tier and rain down brown sludge and garbage onto the slums on the third tier. A large sign here shows a skull and crossbones and the word 'Trickle-down'.

It’s as if 400 people were simply euthanized by the passive voice. Doubleplusgood.

Isnt that just the normal “we do not attack those countries, we attack US millitary assets they host there” line that they have been saying from the start?

Het is het hele riedeltje bij elkaar. Eerst Lodewijk Asscher (zowel Rood Vooruit, Rutte twee als Voor Ons Nederland) als tussenpaus bij FNV. Die wordt weer vervangen door iemand uit Rutte Twee en Rood Vooruit. Het kan allemaal meevallen, maar het komt over als machtspolitiek van een oude garde PvdA.

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

One of my favorite lessons from Jewish tradition is the idea that every life is a universe.

I can't imagine a state which claims to operate on behalf of the Jewish people thinking it's legitimate to kill dozens of innocent people just to find the remains of others. A shanda beyond comprehension.

That said, the invasive american crawfish thats also wreaking havoc here also tastes great but it turned out what was way more effective than making them apealing to humans was making them apealing to the herons. Lots of progress there.

Not sure it was this one but there used to be foodcart selling invasive spieces on festivals here in the Netherlands and the chinese crabs they sold were amazing.

Think the chances that this likely tweaker used a razor sharp carving knive like Lorena Bobbit did is also not really high.

Guess he did answer that question by dying though…

This directly contradicts Trump and Hegseth’s claims that Iran bombed the area where the Iranian school was hit. We knew it, but it’s good to have the video.

Mijn overgrootmoeder Lena Roelofs (1873-1975): pas stemgerechtigd vanaf haar 47e, vanaf haar 25e tot haar 74e handelingsonbekwaam (was tot 83 geweest als haar man niet was overleden). Op Internationale Vrouwendag 2026 veel verbeterd maar nog werelden te winnen! En verworvenheden te verdedigen!
