De regels waar een Hans Wijers of de BBC zich aan moeten houden zijn blijkbaar fundamenteel anders dan waar een Yesilgöz of Trump zich aan moeten houden en dat is een groot f*cking probleem

De VVD is een verachtelijke partij.

Vrees niet de laagopgeleide hooligans die brandstichten. Vrees al die hoogopgeleide buurmannen, sales managers en Karins met Tesla’s die het stiekem met ze eens zijn. Vrees niet Wilders, maar de ranzige kleinburgers van VVD, JA21, SGP en BBB.

Dat de VVD onder het politieke leiderschap van Yesilgöz niet staat voor de vrijheid van expressie, meningsuiting en politieke tolerantie maakt hen bovendien 'liberaal' onwaardig.

We shall postpone fighting on the beaches, we shall keep an eye on the landing grounds, we encourage everyone else, should the right circumstances come, to fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall eventually retreat to the hills; we shall never explicitly surrender.
Schumer: "If he defies the Supreme Court, then we are in uncharted territory ... our entire democracy is at risk. I believe that if Donald Trump should defy the courts, the public will rise up. Democrats will fight it in every single way ... autocrats only succeed if the public lets them."

Er zijn momenten dat de bescherming van democratie en vrijheid echt zwaarder moet wegen dan partijpolitiek (en uitvluchten over geld). Dit was/is zo’n moment.

Worth stating simply what’s happening. An American government is launching a full-scope political & economic assault on an ally repelling an ongoing invasion to compel them to terminate martial law, topple their president, hand over minerals to America & accept a ceasefire w/out security guarantees.

Yet another warning that in a way, Europe is already in the grey zone between war and peace. There have been many break-ins in water towers in the region over the past months. Europe needs to better protect its critical infrastructure!
Water supply of strategic Baltic island Gotland was sabotaged last night.

Someone broke into the pump controls and destroyed them.

The pumps serve a large part of Gotland (pop 61k) and had it gone unnoticed could have left all island without water.

Security services are notified. Water is ok.

This is inane.

If you want EU money for joint defense projects, joint decision-making is part of the deal—there’s no way around it.

If you see that as a power grab, you’re fundamentally confused about the choices on the table. www.politico.eu/article/eu-l...

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.

Toen ik als kind leerde over WOII dacht ik continu: hoe hebben mensen dat kunnen laten gebeuren?!

Nou, zo dus.

We staan erbij en kijken ernaar. En nu kunnen we het zelfs real-time volgen.

This thread by @sethabramson.bsky.social pretty much sums up what we are up against as Europeans. I feel we need coordinated, comprehensive pushback from our leaders asap.
Our UK friends are now experiencing what we have over the last decade with these unscrupulous far-right billionaires, Trump and Musk: they're venal madmen who believe in nothing and can't be stopped because they've found the secret to making bad people who know they're bad feel good about themselves
