Dutch justice minister repeatedly refuses to admit that there were neo-Nazis involved in Saturday’s riot- despite them carrying Nazi flags and doing Hitler salutes.

Defense Invests in AI Factory in Groningen
Artificial intelligence (AI) is the technology that will shape the economy, security, and way of life in the coming years. Currently, the main innovations are coming from the United States and China, making Europe, and thus the Netherlands, too dependent on others. Therefore, the cabinet is investing €70 million in an AI factory in Groningen.

It’s supposed to depict the hidden frustrations of being a young woman of colour (she stands nonchalantly, but in her pockets her fists are clenched)
