Oxfam says the world's billionaires now sit on $18.3 trillion of wealth. This growing inequality warps the global economy and also threatens democracy, says Oxfam executive director Amitabh Behar.

"These billionaires are now not happy being rich and richer. They really want now political power."

@robjetten.bsky.social dit gaat niet over “ideeën verkennen” maar over democratische grenzen. Wie oproept tot tribunalen voor Kamerleden ondermijnt de rechtsstaat. Daarmee ga je niet nieuwsgierig in gesprek, dat wijs je af. Normaliseren van autoritair denken is geen strategie, het is capitulatie.

Europeans will not (and should not) believe Trump when he "rules out" sending troops to Greenland.

Because after the negotiations end up with Denmark telling him no again, he will go back to that.

Voorstel aangenomen! Wapenhandel met Israël draagt bij aan ernstig geweld en aan de voortzetting van de verschrikkelijke genocide. Nu stemt de Kamer voor ons voorstel om de aankoop van wapens uit Israël af te bouwen ✊🍉

Zo snel mogelijk een volledig wapenembargo, wat ons betreft nu!

It was only in 2011, 2yrs after her death, that her photos were discovered and recognized for their raw beauty in a collection published by historian and collector John Maloof.

And tonight all the main news broadcasts in america will not even mention that their president is unhinged, demented and clearly unfit to lead anything at all. They are so afraid of the truth.

El secretario general de la OTAN, el holandés Rutte, es un lameculos de Trump al que le alaba continuamente. Piensa el muy imbecil que haciéndole la pelota se va a ganar su favor, pero Trump es un canalla que no se casa con nadie. Ahora, eso sí, le encanta que le adulen.

The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.

“Hij schudt de boel lekker op” is een beetje als iemand die met een grote paraplu onder een boom staat die wordt geschud en waar allemaal gore troep uitvalt.
De geprivilegieerde blik van een man die nooit geraakt zal worden door de gore consequenties waar hij anderen wel bloot aan wil stellen.
Rutte: "Ik word giftig als ik de witte wijn sippende elite hoor zeggen: Trump is verkeerd. In de EU lopen heel veel dingen niet goed. Maak gebruik van Trump. Hij schudt de boel lekker op. Hij zegt terecht: dit is gewoon niet goed. Hij heeft een punt: dat al die instituties niet goed werken." (2019)

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

One year in of Trump’s second term and it already feels like a decade.

I don’t feel we talk about this enough, but the amount of PTSD we’re all experiencing as a result of Donald Trump is off the charts.

Basically we’ve been living in trauma since 2016. Let that sink in - a decade of chaos. 😕

De ongelijkheid is zo extreem geworden dat honderden miljonairs vandaag ook oproepen om hen eerlijk te belasten!

Toch weigeren rechtse partijen om de belachelijke belastingkortingen voor de superrijken te schrappen.

Wij blijven strijden voor eerlijke belastingen. Tax the Super Rich!

Americans don't get to say:

Most Americans hate him,
because that is a lie.

The results show that every demographic, except Black Women, voted for Trump in higher numbers in 2024 than they did in 2016.

THE WOMAN WHO WAS DRAGGED OUT OF HER CAR AND ARRESTED BY ICE SPEAKS OUT…

We’ve all seen the videos, but it matters to hear Aliya Rahman say it herself.

📌 She says her treatment in custody was dehumanizing, and that officers completely failed to take her disability seriously.
