We moeten het hebben over de masculiene debilisering en verrechtsing van de media.
Wat daar dagelijks aan testosteron, onwetendheid en racisme het scherm op wordt gekotst, is niet slechts symptoom, het is de norm geworden.
Er is geen land dat zo’n bizarre tolerantie heeft voor losers.

Wat hier gebeurt is voor onderzoekers en slachtoffers van online politiek geweld geen enkele verrassing. Yesilgöz c.s. hebben met hun gerichte aanval op Douwe Bob een beerput opengetrokken. In de politieke communicatiewetenschap observeren we al enige tijd een toename van aanvallen op 1/n

Op 1 juli, de dag van Keti Koti, preekte Wilders haat tegen asielzoekers in Helmond voor een joelende menigte, regelde de Kamer de strafbaarstelling van illegaliteit, en joeg Yesilgöz een artiest het land uit met haar leugens. Het politieke klimaat is giftig, moreel failliet en gevaarlijker dan ooit

Moet Geert nu niet heel boos worden dat een politica met een dubbele nationaliteit een echte Nederlander heeft weggejaagd uit ons land!🤷‍♂️

Stel je hebt Douwe Bob & Yesilgoz en vraagt je af wie van de twee er aan de kant van Willem Kraan had gestaan en wie aan die van Anton Mussert:

Douwe Bob had Kraan's oproep gesteund: 'Wees solidair met onze Joodse stadgenoten: staakt!'.
Dilan had een 'centrum-rechtse coalitie' gevormd met Mussert.

Wakker worden met het besef dat het moreel kompas van Douwe Bob beter is afgesteld dan dat van de fractieleiders van onze regeringspartijen.

Dit is niet een zin die ik ooit dacht te schrijven, maar: Douwe Bob kan volgens mij een rechtszaak starten tegen de fractievoorzitter van de VVD wegens smaad en aantasting van z'n eer, en winnen.
Eigen verklaring Douwe Bob vs ophef op social media door VVD-leider & talkshowmeubel.

Net-zero by 2050 is not going to happen. Net-zero by the collapse of global industrial civilization will.

Insane this isn’t a bigger global story.

Climate change is causing glacier collapse in the Alps.

The Swiss town of Blatten was destroyed yesterday. The few buildings that survived the 3.5 million cubic metres of landslide are now slowly drowning as the collapsed mountain damns the river.

If Trump ends the contempt power of judges with his “big, beautiful bill,” no one will be able to stop him.

A future Congress would need the power of the courts to enforce their investigations, subpoenas, and laws.

It would be the end of American democracy.

There's very little scientific evidence for global warming being limited to 'only' 2.7°C.

Why do false hope blogs and tweets steer the narrative on climate change?

My brother Seth with a key point: no society will pull together to embrace change if the burdens aren't fairly shared.

That means corporations making real sacrifices. If the burdens are all dumped on working people, while the rich get tax cuts and other goodies, social solidarity will collapse.
Social solidarity requires fair taxation and shared sacrifice.

My latest column is out today, in which I discuss what is missing from the current national mobilization to resist Trump’s assaults.👇 www.nationalobserver.com/2025/04/24/o...
If we’re in an economic war, why aren’t we talking about war taxes?

BREAKING:

It's official. Sen. Cory Booker has been speaking on the Senate floor for more than 24 hours.

It's now the longest floor speech in the history of the Senate.

Booker is speaking in protest of Trump, Musk, and the current administration.

If the White House is insisting that there was no classified or secret information in the Signal chat, does that mean Jeffrey Goldberg can publish it all?

This is what happens when you have an entire cabinet full of folks who would NEVER pass a regular security clearance.

Led by a president who would never be able to pass one either.

Global warming reaches +1.5 °C this year and +2°C around 2037

Using a 15-year linear or 30-year nonlinear extrapolation.

As global warming has accelerated, using a 30-year linear extrapolation is not the right approach to assess the state of the climate.
