Let’s go, cuties.
Max Ernst engraving (from "Une semaine de bonté") showing a man lying on the guillotine, hands bound behind his back, a man in a black suit with a back top hat standing next to him, a large wicker coffin standing ready, lid open, to receive is headless body, a separate, enormous white heart already in it, and a male figure in a disheveled short and with a heraldic type lion's head in the foreground, and lots of identical figures with white Chinese-looking hats watching from a distance, like an audience, and more, but hey

Voor mensen ouder dan Gen X maak ik een uitzondering, maar overigens geldt dat niemand die onironisch spreekt over prinsesjes en koningen en zo serieus te nemen is, moreel of intellectueel. Ik zou wel een krant willen lezen die om die sprookjestitels consequent aanhalingstekens zet.

Journalisten moeten zorgvuldig zijn in hun taalgebruik en zaken omschrijven zoals ze zijn. Het zijn geen “strengere” asielwetten, ook wl zeggen politici dat. Ze doen niets met de criteria voor asiel. Ze maken verblijf en opvang van mensen erbarmelijker, terwijl die vaak genoeg al erbarmelijk zijn

Zionisten, zegt de Taskforce Antisemitisme, "steunen [...] niet automatisch het optreden van de Israëlische regering".

Voor "het optreden van" gelieve te lezen "de genocide gepleegd in opdracht van".

Heel benieuwd, intussen, naar de bevindingen van de Taskforce Palestijnenhaat.

Oh, wacht.
Taskforce: universiteiten moeten meer opkomen voor Joodse mensen
Volgens de onderzoekers is demonstreren een groot goed, maar moet er ook oog zijn voor de Joodse gemeenschap.

The priest at my church got beat up at an anti-ICE protest on the peninsula this week, and when he showed up for Mass today with a black eye all the church ladies swooned like they had seen a Backstreet Boy.

Coalitieakkoord:
Israël wordt genoemd, maar het woord genocide wordt zorgvuldig vermeden.
Geen nieuwe sancties. Geen wapenembargo.
Alleen retorische druk en tweestaten-retoriek.
D66 (Paternotte/Jetten):
Benoemden dit eerder wél als genocide in Gaza.
D66 vertolkt nu het VVD-standpunt.

Ik vind dat we niet al te streng naar dat regeerakkoord moeten kijken. Er gaan behoorlijk wat mensen op vooruit. Denk bijvoorbeeld aan de rijken. Of wat te denken van de mensen die ongelofelijk veel geld hebben.

Last night, israeli occupation forces raided Al Kamandjati Center located in Qalandiya Refugee Camp, destroying all musical instruments inside the center.

This will be met, yet again, with silence from our classical music industry

Rather than change, Donald Trump tends to force the world to adapt to him. If there was a conspiracy of silence protecting Joe Biden when questions arose about his mental and physical decline, there’s a cacophony around Trump, Ben Terris writes.
‘The Superhuman President’
A good-faith attempt to ascertain the truth about Donald Trump’s health.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.
Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.

To avoid the possibility Holocaust remembrance might lead to empathy for migrants, Trump's antisemitism envoy claims Anne Frank "was in Amsterdam legally."

In reality, Margot Frank received a summons to go to a labor camp on July 5, 1942. After ignoring this call, they were in Amsterdam illegally.
Tweet from Rabbi Yehuda Kaploun: "Ignorance like this cheapens the horror of the Holocaust. Anne Frank was in Amsterdam legally and abided by Dutch law. She was hauled off to a death camp because of her race and religion. Her story has nothing to do with the illegal immigration, fraud, and lawlessness plaguing Minnesota today. Our brave law enforcement should be commended, not tarred with this historically illiterate and antisemitic comparison."

The Trump admin is scrambling because the secret police it sends out for kidnappings and rioting has been killing people on video then brazenly lying about it, but Schumer's instinct is to whip his caucus into taking a position *more conservative* than that held by the median voter.

He's got to go.

Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”

Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.

So pathetic and weak.
