White House blew past legal concerns in deadly strikes on drug boats The Trump administration sidestepped skeptical lawyers across national security agencies as it pursued a military campaign against alleged narcotraffickers, officials say.

On the patently unlawful boat strikes

It's hard for USGs to claim ‘mistake of law’ or ‘advice of counsel’ – when they’re firing lawyers who wouldn't sign off on the strikes.

Volgens Wierd Duk is De Raad van State is geen neutrale arbiter meer. Het is volgens hem een ideologisch bolwerk..
De Raad van State werd in 1940 door de bezetter afgeschaft.

Having just been through the desert carrying a guy with no name, it felt good to get out of the rain.

Schandalig.

Snap wel steeds beter waarom onder Rutte iedere keer als de aantallen iets daalde men direct opvanglocaties sloot. Kassa voor z'n rijke VVD maatjes.

YouTube video by The Majority Report w/ Sam Seder Trump’s Gaza Partition Plan | Jeremy Scahill | TMR

If you want to know how horrible neocolonial last week's UN decision on Gaza is, listen to @jeremyscahill.com, co-founder of @dropsitenews.com, who's here being interviewed by @emmavigeland.bsky.social of the @majorityreport.bsky.social.

It's maddening.

Klopt, het gaat om de beschrijving van de lijst, niet de inhoud.

Europe’s new pro-Kremlin bloc takes shape in the European Parliament Since taking office, the new European Parliament has voted on at least 14 resolutions concerning Russia and Ukraine — a test of how its fresh line-up approaches foreign policy. A new data-driven investigation reveals 21 MEPs who most often back or excuse the Kremlin’s actions.

Trouble in "paradise", you love to see it. 🍿

Looks like Trump has a mancrush on him.

Seriously, everything is about vibes with Trump, so apparently he likes Mamdami's vibe.

Trump Is a Weak, Failing President, and the Media Is Finally Saying So As Trump’s downward spiral starts producing harsher media coverage, a writer who regularly dissects MAGA and political media explains why he’s entering a tailspin that will be very hard to reverse.

"While elite journos and businessmen kiss the ring of Trump, people in jammies and slippers confront ICE in the street. The courage of ordinary people has been stunning compared to the elite."

On the pod @amandamarcotte.bsky.social is good on Trump's downward spiral:

THIS IS JUST A VERY SHORT LIST!!!

Could easily make it 10:

9. Extrajudicial killings of fishermen
10. Cruel and unusual punishment (aka torture).

Altijd een goed idee! Ik neem altijd een boek mee naar wachtkamers.

That's what I also put in my car, five year lows ...

🤡

Danl, dat heb ik dan maar gedaan, al verwacht ik er niets van.

BSky team heeft tot zover 0 (nul) keer gereageerd op mentions, dus ...

Of een kapper zoeken met betere lektuur 😉

Bij mijn kapper ligt altijd een National Geographic, dus ik hoef nooit te lezen over 'bekende Nederlanders' die ik meestal helemaal niet wíl kennen.

Jimmy Cliff, reggae giant and star of landmark film 'The Harder They Come,' dead at 81 Jimmy Cliff, the charismatic reggae pioneer and actor who preached defiance, joy and endurance in such classics as “Many Rivers to Cross,” “You Can Get it If You Really Want” and “Vietnam” and starred...

Someone apparently took offence at the description of my moderation list, reported it, and moderation has hidden it, making it unusable for new users.
I have amended the description, but how do I get it unhidden?

Thanks.

This list:
bsky.app/profile/did:...

Dank.

Lekker dan. heeft de BSky moderatie m'n lijst om zeep geholpen. Hij werkt nog voor degenen die 'm al gebruiken, maar zo kan er dus niemand meer bij.

Alleen omdat er het woordje 'idiots' in de beschrijving zat 🙄

Wat ik al aangepast heb, maar geen idee hoe ik dit weer ongedaan krijg.

Ja, dat zie ik zelf tegenwoordig ook, maar ik kan zelf doorklikken om toch naar de lijst te gaan. Jij niet?
