Ik lees net de GL-PvdA app. Sinds het partijcongres van GroenLinks/PvdA hebben 159 leden hun lidmaatschap opgezegd, terwijl 1.142 nieuwe leden zich hebben aangemeld. Misschien, héél misschien is dat wel omdat die zich niet gek laten maken door extreemrechtse framing.

And the House and Senate are silent.

Someone has gone through and actually run the numbers on molestation crimes against children. The politicians who commit these crimes are overwhelmingly Republican. 67% of politicians convicted between February 10, 2023 and May 23, 2024 nationwide were Republicans. www.whoismakingnews.com

UPDATE: Iran has just voted to close the Strait of Hormuz. (Higher prices on everything loading) nypost.com/2025/06/22/w...

Laat dit alsjeblieft een les zijn voor het CvB. Er is niks ergs gebeurd, er was geen gevaar, geen paniek. De encampment was volledig vreedzaam. Soms kun je dingen gewoon laten gebeuren, ook als je voor je gevoel de controle verliest. Aangifte doen en zo indirect de ME laten komen hoeft echt niet.

Die mensen die nu na 1000 miljoen jaar lidmaatschap met veel fanfare de PvdA verlaten, hèh, die hebben het dus allemaal meegemaakt: het afschudden van de 'ideologische veren', de vermarkting van de publieke sector, het verraad van Rutte II... En nu, nú vinden ze het ineens genoeg geweest...

Last day of thesis writing: culling adjectives and adverbs and eliminating unwanted passive voice.

Is no EU country going to call the attack of the US for what it is: illegal?

I like how Polybius starts his Histories by basically stating you must be an idiot not to want to read his books.

The war with Iran is yet again a war started based on "feels" and "vibes"

“When did the Wars of Religion end?” “Write down your phone number and I’ll message you when they’re over.”

The one Dutch police man at Comic Con having a great time. This is the way.

Donald Trump just unilaterally bombed Iran. A masked gang is terrorizing our streets. America has rapidly devolved into an authoritarian state. That's why, today, The Onion has purchased a full page ad in today's New York Times with a simple plea to Congress: Sit back and do absolutely nothing.

That's not how any of this works.

I saw a slightly less insane version of this 25 years ago. Pass.

The American evangelical right is absolutely shitting themselves with excitement over this. There is nothing on planet earth that they want more then a destabilized Middle East at war to trigger the rapture. This is 100% fact even though it sounds ridiculous.

Of course this war is framed religiously.

The US just broke international law, and the Democrats ask for a briefing.

You won't get impeachment with the current crop of so-called lawmakers in Congress, USA.

Nothing to draw eyes away from losing domestically than fabricating a war.

crashing the economy and starting a war in the Middle East Donald Trump has finally become a conventional Republican after all

I want to know the story here.

Can we all agree that the people who voted for Trump because they are anti-war are the dumbest fucking people?

Fetterman is in first to sniff Trump's arse.

A significant potion of the citizenry of the USA does not KNOW what Trump did today is illegal. So why would they be worried? To them, this is what a president-king is supposed to do.

Having a democracy, but depriving your citizens of the wherewithal to be critical and part of its system of checks and balances means you won't have a democracy anymore. Without citizens to contest the government's power, the system fails.

every single member of Congress should be pushing for Trump’s impeachment. and every single Democrat who isn’t calling for impeachment should be primaried

The Peace President now has a tally of exacerbating two running wars and starting a new one.

Turn Gestapo: The cleric can use their Channel Divinity ability to emit an aura of shame and righteous judgment. Any Gestapo, fascists, lickspittles, or thugs in the area of effect must use the waddle action to move at full speed away for three rounds timesofsandiego.com/life/2025/06...

Every so often there will be a company that launches two versions of a product, one imported and one “Made In USA” and y’all will not believe which one people buy
