Today is liberation day in the Netherlands. Clearly, democracy and rule of law is a lot of work, and we’re not doing it well enough. The Dutch constitution - within it a commitment to upholding international rule of law - offers so many clear guidance for an equitable, just and sustainable society.👇

Wat mij betreft verplichte kost voor alle zorgprofessionals (in spe), evenals alle andere burgers: lees die de grondwet eens. Dit zijn er drie die ik belangrijk vind om vandaag te noemen (en om artikel 22.3 te illustreren, mét de schilderkunst van mijn 4-jarige dochter 🎨 ). /2

This is a venn diagram showing how 69 Trump actions map onto domains covering: undermining democratic institutions; suppressing dissent and media; dismantling social protections; attacking science and education; destabilising the global order.

Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up.
I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

U.S.A.I.D. Memos Detail Human Costs of Cuts to Foreign Aid (Gift Article)
The world is likely to see millions more malaria infections and 200,000 cases of paralytic polio each year, according to an agency whistle-blower.
We're getting our first estimates of the harm inflicted by the illegal shutdown of USAID, and they're predictably grim:
1 million children not treated for severe malnutrition annually
18 million new cases of malaria
200k kids paralyzed by polio
“Unless reversed, this will cost millions of lives"
