"De vraag is dus niet of een journalist het woord genocide mag gebruiken. De vraag is: hoe kan men vandaag nog over Gaza schrijven zónder dat woord?" www.demorgen.be/meningen/wan...

Zou de titel niet beter zijn "Luxeproject hindert pijlstormvogels en reuzenhagedissen"? Dit zegt alles over hoe we denken over de natuur.

Dus, de Vlaamse regering gaat geld pompen in inburgering in het buitenland voor wie er nog niet is, maar zwaar snoeien in lokale inburgering voor wie hier al is op het niveau dat er het meest toe doet? Ik hoop dat iemand de agenda ziet.

If you watch only one video today, let it be this one. Watch NYU Stern School of Business Professor Scott Galloway’s outstanding commentary on what prosperity and wealth should mean in America. His words could not be more on point and timely. Please pass it on.

🚩🚩 International Journal of Vaccine Theory, Practice, and Research 🚩🚩 Not science but an antivax rag. No immunologist even on the editorial team, but many well-known antivaxxers. 🚩🚩 Hence: don´t read, don´t take any notice, just ignore. 1/3

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

🚨Major Breaking: This is a serious escalation by the Trump regime - charging Rep. McIver for protesting an ICE site is a clear move to criminalize dissent. It sends a chilling message: if you challenge mass deportations or expose abuses, you risk indictment. Oversight is now treated as a crime. #3E

BREAKING: The Supreme Court holds that the Trump administration violated the due process rights of Venezuelan migrants last month in its rushed effort to expel them to El Salvador in the middle of the night (which SCOTUS blocked). Alito and Thomas dissent. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

GOLDMAN: Will you give Abrego Garcia the due process the Supreme Court has required you to give him? NOEM: If he were to come back to this country, he would be immediately removed again G: How do you know? The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he hasn't been treated appropriately

Cancer drug Revlimid has its origin in a pill that cost patients $7.50 each. Decades later, Revlimid costs more than $18,000 for a month’s supply... Even though it still only costs about 25 cents to manufacture. New: @davidarmstrongx.bsky.social @propublica.org

Maak je geen zorgen over wat er in de nabije toekomst niet gaat gebeuren. In plaats daarvan moeten we proberen te voorkomen dat we ons geld in een zeepbel dumpen, waardoor sommige mensen veel geld verdienen voordat de zeepbel barst en we uiteindelijk met minder overblijven dan ons beloofd was.

Hou je mond, zegt Wilders op X. Zijn achterbakse sneer is een trap na op een dag die vraagt om waardigheid. Sophie Scholl, schreef voordat ze werd geëxecuteerd: “I would do my duty the way I see fit, no matter what the consequences.” 4 mei vraagt geen zwijgen, maar beschaving. Wilders faalt daarin.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at the University of New Mexico have developed a tau-targeting vaccine that could help PREVENT the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. In preclinical trials, the vaccine REDUCED pTau, IMPROVED memory AND motor function, and REDUCED brain atrophy with NO major side effects. 🧪🧵⬇️

Ik weet niet of @demorgen zich bewust is van de meiose. Die zorgt voor genomische diversiteit. Misschien teleurstellend, maar “de helft overerven” wil niet zeggen de helft lijken op ;) eerder 1/4 afh van de dominantie. Stop met het oversimplificatie om ideeën door te duwen.
