U.S. diplomats asked a French magistrate last year whether she could intervene over Marine Le Pen’s election ban.

The previously unreported details of the meeting will refocus attention on American efforts to back the European far right.

What Carney said about NATO & trade was hugely important, but it’s what he said about truth that’s even more so.

His choice of Vaclav Havel was not accidental. His concept of ‘living in truth’ is an essential guide to this moment

Gisteren mocht deze racist op onze staatstv bij Pauw & De Wit praten over alles behalve zijn racisme. Jetten ondertussen: 'constructief type'. Wij hoeven niet naar de VS te kijken voor fascisme, it's right here.
Dit is Gidi Markuszower.

De man die expliciet opriep om Tweede Kamerleden te berechten in tribunalen.

Het is ontluisterend dat D66 überhaupt overweegt om deals met hem te sluiten.

Deze tijd vraagt om verzet tegen extreem-rechts, ook als je op zoek bent naar steun voor je minderheidskabinet.

It is actually insane how much power a few American tech guys have.

They have more money than actual countries and they use it to prop up the most dangerous politicians on earth just to avoid paying taxes.

They are breaking the world to protect their own wallets

“People have started to confront the bully. There remains, however, one group of people, or two closely related groups, that have yet to join the club: corporate America and Wall Street—the biggest cowards in the country.”

Last year, Trump had a lot of people scared. But there are good—and encouraging—reasons to think that this year will be different.

En wat regelt VVD met D66 & CDA als eerste? Hogere bonussen via een wetswijziging die in geen enkel verkiezingsprogramma stond.

Compare & contrast. This is Trump’s demand for Greenland. And this is Hitler’s for the Sudetenland.

There is no difference. The language. The unstoppable need to dominate. The megalomania. It’s the same.

And Keir Starmer’s response is appeasement. We are in that moment.

Trump demanding control of Greenland—which the US already has access to—is based on multi-layered lies. Threatening NATO allies to get it undermines the Western alliance.
