Trump has established his dictatorship thanks to the support of Americans who claim to believe in God and the Bible. Yet their interpretation of the Bible is mendacious and dangerous. Religion is misused to justify crimes. We must continue to expose this. #DefendDemocracy #StopTrumpDictatorship

Tune in and enjoy all the benefits that Brexiters promised. Sunlit uplands and unicorns as far as the eye can see 😶😉

Misschien kunnen Verbeet en Oudkerk DS70 opnieuw oprichten nu ze de sociaaldemocratische denkbeelden begraven. DS’70 was een rechtse afsplitsing van de PvdA. Onder aanvoering van de zoon van de oud PvdA premier Drees Aanvankelijk redelijk succesvol , maar viel in 1983 door interne ruzies uit elkaar.

They didn’t bomb Iran last night because of intel. They did it on a hunch…like a drunk betting the mortgage on a long shot at 3 a.m. Problem is, this one might pay off in body bags, not winnings. Never trust Trump’s vibes. Several bankruptcies have shown they’re usually wrong.

They’re going to try to make you feel insane for opposing this war. They’ll ignore protests and downplay any opposition. They’ll try to strongarm you into submission. They did it with Iraq and they’ll do it again. And then a few years later they’ll pretend they were with you all along.

Attacking Iran fits with Trump’s desire to divert attention from his failures at home: his losses in the courts, his unpopular budget bill, millions of people protesting against his authoritarianism. When he feels humiliated, he gets reckless. Understand what's going on.

This whole, "sexual assault and harassment is bad when Trump does it, but ok when our side does it," is sending a really clear message that the old guard of Democratic leadership only cares about women when it's politically advantageous. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Israel lied. It said the Iran War was exclusively intended to end the Iranian civilian nuclear program. This weekend, Trump said he did that. Israel responded by—and I quote—EXPANDING its war against Iran to include universities, civil landmarks, and military targets unrelated to any nuclear program

Trump and Netanyahu are playing a deadly game of déjà vu, echoing Bush’s Iraq fiasco with a fresh war on Iran built on shaky intel and nuclear scare tactics. Their lies bomb harder than any missile, leaving the Middle East to choke on the fallout.

Be warned: Trump will likely use his war with Iran as a pretext to further suppress dissent at home. We must resist his efforts to stifle freedom of speech, make warrantless searches and arrests of Americans, and put more military onto our streets.

BREAKING: the Supreme Court *grants* the Trump administration's emergency plea in DHS v. D.V.D. to resume deporting non-citizens to third countries. Justices Sotomayor, Kagan and Jackson dissent at length. The majority cites no reasons for granting the government's request.

#BREAKING: Over a (sharp) public dissent from the three Democratic appointees, #SCOTUS clears the way for the Trump administration to remove migrants to third countries *without* giving them an additional opportunity to contest whether they face persecution or other forms of mistreatment there:

DISASTROUS. This means they will send people to horrific situations with no due process — in direct violation of promises the Solicitor General made to the Court in previous cases. This greenlights sending people to be enslaved in Libya or tortured in any random foreign country.

This article demonstrates that ICE is a kind of Gestapo. In contrast to the regular police, secret police primarily use preemptive repression to thwart threats to the government. ICE is becoming a key piece in the repressive apparatus of American authoritarianism. #StopTrumpDictatorship

👨‍✈️ ☠️ 🚔 ICE isn’t going after GANG MEMBERS in south central LA. 🤨 ICE is going after innocent FAMILIES and CHILDREN who haven’t committed crimes. 😢 ICE are COWARDS. TRUMP is a LIAR. 🤥 amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/06/...

🇪🇺💰How EU taxpayer money is spent in Viktor Orbán’s Hungary: Welcome to Tengőd, where €20K in EU funds went to the “reconstruction of landscape features” — meaning a few benches + some vaguely planted trees. The local mayor, by the way, was already under investigation in another fraud case.

De roekeloze actie van de VS is in strijd met het internationaal recht. Diplomatie is nu van levensbelang. Alleen door dialoog kan er een akkoord met Iran komen en wordt de-escalatie mogelijk gemaakt. Daar moeten Nederland en de EU zich voor inzetten. Mijn reactie bij @nieuws.nos.nl:

This comes as no surprise! #ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited

“family members identified the victim as Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all U.S. Marines” ktla.com/news/local-n...

As major American cities brace for potential terrorist attacks in retaliation against the U.S. air strikes on Iran, it’s reassuring to know that Trump just appointed a 22-year-old former gardener and grocery store assistant to lead U.S. terror prevention. 🥺

The War is not meant to be Won, it is meant to be Continuous. #GeorgeOrwell

#ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #Pinks I bet you can think of someone you have been there for… (Or somone who has been there for you.) Someone, somewhere is still deeply inspired by your kindness and profoundly grateful for the compassion you shared during a challenging time. #JustBeKind

Meanwhile the Russian foreign ministry is bleating about 'international law' in Iran

2002: Iraq didn’t have WMDs but they had a lot of oil — the war cost taxpayers over $1.8 trillion, while generating billions in profits for Big Oil. 2025: Iran doesn’t have WMDs but they have a lot of oil — the 3rd largest holder of oil reserves globally. Big Oil donated ~$112 million to Trump.

I do not want to hear any of the red hats say “this isn’t what I voted for”. Yes it is. This is exactly what you voted for. So sit down and shut up. Morons.

With Putin and Netanyahu constantly telling Trump what to do, the only powerful authority figure Donald never obeys is God.

Before Trump killed the Obama-Iran nuclear deal in 2018, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) was responsible for monitoring Iran's nuclear program. The 2015 Obama agreement with Iran placed limitations on Iran's nuclear program, provided for extensive monitoring. Again, Trump killed it.
