“There was another guy on the floor. That guy, they chained from the head. Down to the feet,” Kuyateh said. “They said if you don't cooperate with us, that's how we're going to tie you.”

De rectificatie in de NRC mbt de affaire-Wijers is qua opmaak wel heel bescheiden. In elk geval niet te vergelijken met de vormgeving waarin de beoogd informateur op de voorpagina werd beticht van 'leugenaar'.

Happy to hear German Chancellor Merz doesn’t support ​​Russia’s return to the G8 . He said it could only happen if all G7 member states agree, but right now all of them, except for the US, well, kinda don’t wanna.

Music to my ears.

Do me a favor and forward this post.This needs to get out to everyone. We need to be unified.
Congress, pay attention. We the People decide where our money goes — not the President. And we are demanding full support for Ukraine, with everything they need to win. Trump does not hold the power of the purse. The American people do. Act accordingly.

Putin is boasting. He thinks he is invincible.
Together we can bring Russia on its knees by sanctioning hard and long.

Giving the frozen assets to Ukraine is justifiable. Trump's 'peace plan' is not.

Ook van de ombudsman een te vergoelijkend stuk. Niet alleen omdat het negeert dat alle onvolkomenheden eenzelfde kant opgaan. Of omdat het onjuiste vergelijkingen herhaalt (privé-communicatie vergelijken met publieke uitlatingen).
Opmerkelijk vind ik hoe NRC al een week diepere vraagstukken negeert.

Prachtig stuk, nog uitgebreider dan de prestigieuze Van Slingelandtlezing die M. Kruk vandaag hield voor de Ver. van Bestuurskunde.

Hecht veel gewicht aan de ideologische basis van de illiberale beweging en aan Huntingdons Clash of civilisations. Resoneert domweg op racistisch onderbuikgevoel.

Sweden’s foreign minister says EU imports from Russia have exceeded support for Ukraine by 124 billion euros since the full scale invasion. Europe gave Ukraine 187 billion, but imported Russian oil, gas and other goods worth 311 billion.

Dear @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu, the digital omnibus is the opposite of what we need.

In the era of hybrid warfare, we must make it HARDER to WEAPONISE our digital infrastructure against us — not EASIER.

new paper by Sean Westwood:

With current technology, it is impossible to tell whether survey respondents are real or bots. Among other things, makes it easy for bad actors to manipulate outcomes. No good news here for the future of online-based survey research

I merged the CHES expert survey with EP composition data to visualize the political space of the current EP. The graphs make the center of gravity in the EP quite clear, on multiple dimensions and policy issues.

Where is the Coalition of the Willing now?
The plan would even demand that Russian be recognised as an official state language in Ukraine and that the local branch of the Russian Orthodox Church receive official status, echoing long standing Kremlin political goals.

That is going to be a no.

RBC reports that Washington is pushing Zelensky to accept a US Russia “framework deal” that includes recognising all occupied territories, including Crimea, and restricting long range strikes so Ukraine cannot hit Russia. Sources say Ukrainians will not accept it as pressure on Zelensky grows.

Spain will provide Ukraine with 40 IRIS-T missiles, Zelensky announced. These missiles are in high demand, but Madrid agreed to include them in a new military aid package, an important boost to Ukraine’s air defense ahead of winter.

MAJOR NEWS: Federal judges, including a Trump appointee, just BLOCKED Texas Republicans from using their new gerrymandered congressional map in 2026, ruling it was likely an illegal racial gerrymander. TX must revert to its 2021 map as Trump’s redistricting power grab collapses.
