Just wanted to post a few observations for the upcoming Dutch general election later this month. Needless to say, I'm worried about it.

Should be pretty self-explanatory, and please note that this from the perspective of an "outside observer".

Just sharing this again because the situation is gettting a bit tighter for my dear old friend. Please help them out, either by sharing the gofundme page or by donating!

Just for endorsements: party chapters for three out of the five boroughs, chair of the Manhattan Democratic Party Keith Wright, five sitting members of Congress, Bill Clinton, Connecticut governor Greg Lamont.

There's even Xenia, the Linux Fox! She was originally intended to be male by the artist (Alan Mackey) but has been embraced as a trans icon in the past few years!

Given the Boston Tea Party and the official name of the Know Nothing's party... This is actually an old one. Quite antebellum.

A great example at how Israel in the past decades has used environmentalism and/or archaelogy to undermine the Two State Solution. Both ministers present at the launch are fascistic. Eliyahu in Nov. 2023 suggested nuking Gaza & Silman in Mar. 2025 stated her desire to ethnically cleanse Gaza.

My #conclave2025 predictions are in this image file, thankfully also in the alt-text.

The last few years I developed an idea that the most plausible way to permanently break up Germany after WW2 could involve a resurrected Confederation of the Rhine alongside a "Hanseatic Republic", a Soviet client Brandenburg-Mecklenburg, and an Austro-Bavarian state. Here's a quick QBAM "sketch".

The reigniting of the South Sudanese civil war while in neighboring Sudan also still has a civil war is worrying to say the least.

The RSF's continued control over most of Darfur & West Kordofan could also lead to them pressing claims on Kafia Kingi (top right) & Abyei (top center) again...

Just some casual antisemitic conspiratorial thinking from 47. And, honestly, I'm thinking the egg price drop will soon reverse again; plus they're more expensive than they've been before Christmas anyway.

I know those who want to keep defending Israel will see that first part of the quote and do a song & dance about that qualifier... Yet ignore the second half that states that ONLY ETHNICALLY CLEANSING GAZA will allow for Israel's security.

We need UN troops in Israel & Palestine twenty years ago.

Diese Arroganz von Merz... 🤢 SPD & Grüne sollen seiner AfD-Abklatsche folgen, sonst definiert er die Mitte neu.

Muss zugeben, bin nicht 100% up-to-date, was sozialistische Kleinstparteien angeht, aber dass die wiedergegründete KPD und ihre Onlinezeitung Remigration fordern... Wow, die Definition von außen rot, innen braun. Aber eigentlich auch außen braun. Wie blutiger Stuhl.
