Trump wil regime change, ook in Nederland, schrijft Caroline de Gruyter. Dat staat in een op 27 mei gepubliceerd document. „Partijleiders in Nederland doen er goed aan om dit aandachtig te lezen voordat zij met hun spindoctors goedkope electorale bokkesprongen gaan bedenken.” buff.ly/2lEObJm

“A 2010 study that analyzed 40 years of protest coverage in five major newspapers, including The New York Times and The Washington Post, found that the papers depicted protests — even peaceful ones — as nuisances rather than as necessary functions of democracy.”

Eat that, all of you fearing the extreme right is “on the rise in Europe”: it is not. That was yesterday.
Actually, in some places the extreme right is now really tanking (I can think of Finland, Denmark, Hungary, the Netherlands…).
Municipal elections in #Finland shaping up to a major, even unprecedented victory for the left in general. Social Democrats set to become the biggest party, and are very close to winning the vote in Helsinki - would be the first time in half a century. Radical right is the biggest loser.💪

You have to see this.

PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

I celebrate the 80% of Germans who did not vote for the far right. Do not make 19.6% of German voters into "the" German people (again).

"The" German people don't exist! The German population is diverse and divided, but voted overwhelmingly for liberal democratic parties.

The day after: the public prosecutor's office investigates ZPS @politicalbeauty.bsky.social projection of Musk's Hitler salute at Tesla's largest factory in EU, on suspicion of "using symbols of unconstitutional organizations"...

Who could have imagined? (*sarcasm*)

Also for the international crowd: #Instagram censors “Democrat” as a search term, while allowing “Republican” and seems to prioritize anti-leftwing content in search queries for alternative search terms. #DSA
