How much more will #Trump’s approval ratings sink? ☺️

Quelle coïncidence. Maintenant que le gouvernement français est en train de s’effondrer, de fausses rumeurs recommencent à circuler, prétendant que l’épouse de #Macron est une femme transgenre. Je me demande qui est responsable de cela.

This press conference on the DC crash is an embarrassment. Just a lot of rambling.

It feels surreal how Trump manages to blame the Washington plane crash on the Democrats’ workforce diversity discourse. Somehow, someway disabled people are/could be responsible for the crash? Unprecedented.

Once again, baffled by #Musk.

🚨: #Trump plans to expedite the #TikTok ban, moving its start to 90 days later. This move is a key part of his strategy to boost his popularity among Gen Z.

Trump only inviting Meloni and not other EU-leaders to his inauguration tells me everything I need to know about his upcoming presidency.

From a European perspective, it’s interesting to see many Americans flocking to #Rednote, seemingly unaware that it is one of the largest state-monitored media platforms.

I’m also curious about how Americans will express their unique values in such a monitored environment as Rednote’s.

🚨: Great news: misogynist #Hegseth is being haunted by his disgusting comments saying ‘women do not belong in the army’.

My 2024 resolution: starting a Dutch left-wing podcast discussing current-day political/economical/social issues!

It’s both saddening and hilarious how #Yoon Suk Yeol-defenders are holding banners with ‘stop the steal’, comparing the situation with the prosecution of Trump. Arrest him already.

La seule chose qui m’empêche de voyager à Paris, ce printemps, c’est de devoir passer par Charleroi. Une ville laide à cause de politiques laides.

🚨: According to Tesla’s regulatory filings, Elon #Musk discreetly donated 268,000 Tesla shares to unnamed charities just before the new year (worth $108 million). I’m sure this was not an act of mere philanthropy.

🚨 #Macron a exprimé mardi, lors de son discours de vœux, ses regrets d’avoir convoqué des élections législatives anticipées, reconnaissant que cette décision n’a pas servi la stabilité politique. Rien ne résume mieux le leadership que dire ‘ma faute’ après coup.

Chinese chemical brokers play a crucial role in the illicit #fentanyl trade, supplying ingredients to Mexican producers (Reuters). It is almost ironic how similar the situation is to the British opium trade in the 1700s, where addiction was weaponized to create and sustain a lucrative market.

🚨: Russia’s parliament passed a law allowing the suspension of bans on groups designated as terrorist, enabling it to normalize ties with the Afghan #Taliban and potentially Syria’s new rulers (Reuters). I’m curious how the general Russian population perceives the act of decriminalizing the Taliban.

A friendly reminder for everyone interested in the privatization of healthcare, especially after the UnitedHealthcare catastrophe, to look into Joan Tronto’s ethics of care!

It’s interesting how the recent killing of the United Healthcare CEO sparked a sense of class awareness amongst the youth. #mangione

Just in: one of #Georgia ’s biggest opposition leaders was just arrested in Tbilisi. This really shows the dangers of Russophilia and why we should combat it.
