Democracy isn't automatic. It's something we have to fight for again and again. Apathy is how we'll lose it.

We hebben niet nóg meer analyses van Wilders nodig. Na 20 jaar weten we het wel. Ook vd Plas, Yesilgöz, Eerdmans etc. Hoeveel airtime en kolommen nog? Over minder dan een maand zijn er verkiezingen: waar zijn de vele interviews met Dibi? Ouwehand? De mediaobsessie met rechts ís de winst van rechts.

Trump's DOJ deleted a study about the rise of far right violence in America.
Meanwhile, Trump baselessly smears so-called "far left" critics and threatens to unleash the government on them.
Make no mistake: Trump's sole focus is suppressing dissent & consolidating more power.

The media needs to start calling it what it is. It’s not a war. It’s not a famine. It’s not a conflict.
It’s a genocide.

This is Row and Mr Jingles. They look a little different and don't have much in common. But like all good friends, still find a way to see eye to eye. 13/10 for both #SeniorPupSaturday (courtesy Martin Critchlow)

🚨BREAKING: The last journalists working for AFP in Gaza have said they can no longer work for the news agency.
They are out of energy and they are starving to death.
I have never seen a statement from a news organisation like it.

A huge proportion of climate solutions journalism is focused entirely on 'we promise this can be fixed without you having to change anything', and they'll accept wild, absurd and almost fraudulently misleading greenwashing uncritically so that message can be preserved

Forget frying with it, it's time to fly with it

Yes. Folks, this is not a distraction. Any action that hurts millions of people can never be a distraction.
Trump covers up crime with scandal. Deploying military forces on US soil to hurt innocent people isn’t a scandal. It’s a crime. Focus on the people getting hurt. That’s who matters most.

I have a hard time mentally processing any claims that Los Angeles is a “distraction” given that deploying the military if he gets pissed off and also expansively cruel immigration crackdowns were like the top two things he ran on in 2024

Column: nieuws daalt niet zomaar objectief uit den hemelen neder; nieuws is een beslissing. En de NOS maakt vaak keuzes die de status quo meer van pas komt dan de burger. En dat terwijl we juist nu eerlijke, activistische journalistiek nodig hebben.

Mythe die as we speak aan het stollen is: dat Wilders wel een beetje gelijk heeft dat hij is tegengewerkt. Is niet zo! De andere partijen hebben hem geen strobreed in de weg gelegd. De enige grenzen waren rechtstatelijk en die horen er te zijn in een democratie 🙃
