It is an achievement of some sort, to be the most odious and despicable one in what is a competitive field.

Stephen Miller: "Children will be taught to love America. Children will be taught to be patriots. Children will be taught civic values for schools that want federal taxpayer funding ... we're gonna make sure these funds are not being used to promote communist ideology."

Maar we vertikken het om 10 km verderop drinkwater te leveren.

Al honderd dagen ligt Trump op ramkoers met de rechterlijke macht: ‘De constitutionele crisis is compleet'

Weet je wie ook heel daadkrachtig was?

Every right we have, has been won with protest and struggle. And protecting those rights, as well as securing more (we aren't there yet) will necessitate more fight, struggle and protest. Our history shows the future. #MayDay #YasasinBirMayis

RFK Jr. ordered the NIH’s Integrated Research Facility in Frederick to stop all research on serious infectious diseases yesterday at 5:00 PM. They study pathogens like Ebola there. You may be familiar with it from The Hot Zone. www.wired.com/story/hhs-ni...

Het zou fijn zijn dat Nederlandse kiezers nu (eindelijk) ook begrijpen dat voor het beschermen van de rechtsstaat, we niet kunnen rekenen op de VVD.

Funniest/most tragical/most infuriating/ terrifying part is when he starts saying that 'this why people don't trust' and I guess was going to say the media. I have no respect or civility left for anyone who thinks this guy is anything other than a genuine plague to humanity.

This exchange is so very telling. Trump repeatedly claims the photoshopped MS-13 on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real, Terry Moran keeps telling him it isn't, prompting Trump to say this: "I never heard of you. I picked you. You’re not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... Just say yes!"

"In an interview w/Dr. Phil, the health sec. offered false information abt vaccine oversight and revealed a lack of basic understanding of new drug approvals." What an opening sentence--so much doom packed into it. Story offers sci debunking, but my thread here is on his statements/messaging. 🧵🛟

Maar gelukkig wel 600 miljoen extra voor de boeren en fossielsubsidies weer hersteld. Prioriteiten.

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

I have no civility left in me.

Consistent with my maintained belief that ~20-30% of any democratic polity will support far right authoritarians no matter what. The only question is whether a country has such egregiously anti-majoritarian political institutions that allow that minority full access to power to do a fascism.

Redistributing resources from the many to the few and distracting the public from it with racism is something the right-wing can do better than you, 'Labour'.

Die woede begrijp ik. Maar weglopen voor de puinhoop die je zelf hebt helpen creëren dan weer niet.

Arne Slot, you big bald beauty! Up the 20 times winning Reds! #LFC #20

Let's make this happen, lads! #YNWA

This is it, I think: Wikipedia is the fruit of conscientious, imaginative humans working for decades. AI is a couple of nanoseconds of pattern recognition pulled out a virtual arse. Wikipedia is free, AI has subscription tiers. Wikipedia is the opposite of AI - it's good, free, and works.

It's official. Resistance Summer School is happening. Columbia cancelled my class on Race, Media and International Affairs, but I'm going to teach it anyway. 100+ people have enrolled in just six hours. karenattiah.substack.com/p/enrollment...

Fighting against fascism is not optional.

Scientists must push back against the threat of rising white nationalism and the dangerous and pseudoscientific ideas of eugenics https://go.nature.com/4jGqiUc

Ankara’da ki yürüyüşe katılan lise öğrencisi Furkan’ın yaşadıkları

Nevermind the clickbaity title, Hasan definitively takes down the Maher position with good arguments here. Plus, you can see him asking his dad to contain his dog in Turkish.

De minister van Groene Groei is eigenlijk gewoon Chef Grijs Gegraai.

So, who are the elites who don't care about the people again?

The conservative movement has turned against reality on every scientific issue of our time, from gun violence to climate change to epidemiology. If campuses are ideologically homogenous, it's not because academia has ostracized conservatives. It's because conservatives have ostracized academia.

Ik geloof dat de correcte term voor wat NSC laat zien 'shitshow' is. Of 'dumpster fire', daar wil ik van af zijn. En van NSC zou ik ook liever af zijn.

Fantastic and necessary piece from @hakeemjefferson.bsky.social (deleted earlier post because typo) stanforddaily.com/2025/04/22/w...

De PVV importeert het fascisme van Trump in de polder. Mede dankzij de handtekening van zelfverklaarde rechtsstaatbewakers @vvdonline.bsky.social en NSC.

Again, we can have different viewpoints and have debate. But this isn't that. This is simply about people being horrible human beings.

Weten jullie nog? Al die partijen die in het debat over het Vlaardingse pleegmeisje eisten dat de jeugdbescherming beter moet? Daar wordt dus nul(!) euro voor gereserveerd, blijkt uit de voorjaarsnota. Maar nu wij een debat aanvragen, geven coalitiepartijen niet thuis.
