Have I got this right? Nuclear-armed state under international investigation for war crimes, incl. genocide, launches unprovoked attack on Iran, which has no nukes. Reaction in the West: we must risk nuclear war to “save” Israel from consequences of its own actions. news.sky.com/story/uk-mil...

Andrea's actions here are a testament to who he is: humane, principled, engaged. It is shameful that the Royal Society have let things get to this point.

While Trump blusters about "law & order," a reminder that his administration has dropped or halted nearly 150 corporate enforcement actions. And Trump himself has pardoned dozens of his supporters convicted of crimes like money laundering and bribery. The hypocrisy is staggering.

Breaking News! Code Yikes! May is over and my prediction for Manua Loa CO2 for the month is 430.51 (±0.01) ppm. This is also the peak for 2025 and likely the first month over 430 ppm in over 3 million years. In 2024, the peak was 426.90 ppm, so the peak-to-peak yearly gain was 3.61 ppm. Data:

Hongerende mensen afmaken die 's nachts op weg waren naar (mogelijke) voedselbedeling. Veel lager kan je als leger en land denk ik niet vallen. Hebben we ambassadeur van dat land al uitgewezen?

Schaamteloos liegen is een van de belangrijke kenmerken van fascisme. De demonstratie vandaag in Den Haag en elders in de wereld, ook in Israël zelf, is niet vóór Hamas, maar tegen genocide door een uiterst rechtse regering. Geert Wilders is voor een uiterst rechtse regering die genocide pleegt. /2

It is undeniable to any sane observer that the DOGE project is not about righteously uncovering government mismanagement of resources but consolidating Trump’s power by weakening government operations that he doesn’t directly control or don’t align with his agenda. @bernybelvedere.bsky.social

DISTANTIËREN VAN ........ De beschaafde Wereld zou zich moeten distantiëren van Israël. Politieke - en militaire leiders in Israël hebben de terroristische aanslag door Hamas aangegrepen om systematisch genocide te plegen in Gaza en het Land te annexeren. Koppen uit het zand!

Vreemd dat je als Minister van Asiel en Migratie jezelf als moeder en dochter profileert in diverse media, met interviews met de kinderen en je ouders, maar datzelfde “recht op een gezinsleven” niet erkend voor vluchtelingengezinnen die veel wanhopiger en kwetsbaarder zijn. /1

+50.000 Palestijnen gedood. Bommen op scholen, ziekenhuizen, tentenkampen. Al 50 dagen blokkeert Israël alle humanitaire hulp. Bakkersovens doven bij gebrek aan bloem. Overal honger. Maar Vooruit en CD&V sturen hun kat om te stemmen voor erkenning Palestina en sancties tegen Israël. Schande!
