Do the rich know that they live on the same planet as the poor? Or do they really think Mars is an alternative place to live when their overconsumptuous lifestelyles have destroyed our beautiful planet?

🚨 BREAKING: Karoline Leavitt, Trump’s press secretary, goes after federal judge James Boasberg, calling him a “Democrat activist” for trying to enforce the law. Boasberg was appointed by Bush and later elevated by Obama. The Trump team keeps attacking the courts.

Fascinerend 🧵 over ‘war on drugs’, hard aanpakken!, law&order en andere doodlopende paden
Is er iemand die nog met droge ogen kan beweren dat de war on drugs succesvol is?
💰 De illegale drugsmarkt in Europa is €31 miljard waard.
👮♂️ 50-70% van de politiecapaciteit gaat naar drugsbestrijding.
📈 Ondanks miljardeninvesteringen stijgt het drugsgebruik overal.

Nergens in Europa wordt zoveel mdma, ketamine en cannabis gebruikt als in Nederlandse steden, blijkt uit Europees onderzoek. In het Amsterdamse rioolwater werden vorig jaar twee keer zoveel mdma-resten aangetroffen als in de rest van Europa. buff.ly/WnVWXnr

Hitler ended democracy in Germany in 53 days.
Today is the 53rd day of the Trump presidency, and the White House has announced that it does not believe a federal district court judge can issue an injunction against the White House.
It can. The Constitution says so. This is a constitutional crisis.

Minister van Sociale Zaken @nieuwsuur.nl gaat nu misstanden in uitzendsector/arbeidsmigranten echt nee écht aanpakken. Maar registratie (waar t om gaat) wordt aan de sector overgelaten. Zodat over n paar jaar kan worden geconcludeerd dat de uitbuiting eigenlijk niet verminderd is 🤯

Dus: @vvdonline.bsky.social en NSC willen geen lobbyregister. Ik ga me eens rustig afvragen waarom dat zou kúnnen zijn.
NSC-minister Uitermark blijft in Kamerdebat lobbyregister afwijzen, alleen VVD steunt haar. Pas in september komt ze met plan om transparantie rond besluitvorming te vergroten. Dat vindt de Kamer veel te laat.

Can someone with a military background explain why this isn’t an act of war? The victim is a “US-flagged” vessel “at anchor in the North Sea and carrying huge amounts of jet fuel for the US military.” The deliberate attack’s aggressor is a Russian captain.

The question today is the same as it was during the first Gilded Age: Will we fight for an economy and a democracy that works for all rather than a wealthy few?
From Robber Barons to Bezos: Is History Repeating Itself? | Robert Reich
We’re now in the Second Gilded Age. As in the first, America’s wealth is in the hands of a few, conspicuous consumption exists alongside homelessness and hunger, monopolies crush competition, money corrupts politics, and working people are abused and exploited. The good news? Just like back then, we can fix it.

Why is Trump waging a war on the Department of Education?
Because he knows that his biggest enemies are educators and younger generations of learners who are unafraid to speak truth to power.
Attacks on education are central to the fascist playbook.

Drie jongeren worden verdacht van opruiing tot een terroristisch misdrijf. De Volkskrant kreeg inzage in duizenden berichten vol geweldsverheerlijking en vreemdelingenhaat uit extreemrechtse appgroepen waarvan zij lid waren. Hoe konden deze jongens zo afglijden?
