Op de Amerikaanse begraafplaats in Margraten is het opeens stil geworden rond de zwarte Amerikanen die hielpen Nederland bevrijden. Twee panelen die hun bijdrage herdachten – én wezen op hun strijd tegen racisme binnen het leger – werden zonder toelichting verwijderd.

Today in the Okanagan, two of the top three news stories have links to conspiracy theory dis/misinformation. Far-right social media must be going in overdrive today about the 'authoritarian state' and how 'Canada is broken'. Will the convoys be on the move?
