Hilarious: the same GOP crowd dismantling U.S. institutions in Orbán style is now outraged that Germany, after due process, labels AfD a threat to democracy. Vance & Rubio yelling “tyranny” while praising actual autocrats — it’s not irony, it’s strategy. #Trumpocracy #GoodGovernance

Faber wil jonge asielzoekers geen Efteling-uitje gunnen: “snoepreisje op kosten van de belastingbetaler” Intussen bakt ze er als minister niets van, met haar invalbeurt voor een wapenfanaat die niet door AIVD test kwam. Ze weet zelf ook wel dat ze een vergissing met belasting salaris is € 205.991/j

You can’t make this up: Trump’s own Defense Secretary just scrapped the “Women, Peace & Security” program — calling it “woke Biden nonsense.” #Trump2025 #DefenseFail

142 executive orders, 1 law, $9.6T vaporized. These were the first 100 days of Trump. Trump calls it “the most successful first 100 days in U.S. history.” “We’re just getting started. You haven’t seen anything yet.” #Trump2025 #First100Days

Because it was that J.D. Vance again, who said that it was such an incredible concession from Putin that he didn’t want the whole of Ukraine. Well, that’s a really nice negotiating technique…

Turkey’s opposition neutralized: after the arrest of Mayor Imamoglu, now 47 municipal officials are detained too. Turkey is checking the boxes of ‘Orbanization’. Or are we witnessing pure ‘Erdoganization’? The safeguard of democracy is the people. #Erdoganization #Orbanization #Authoritarianism

Boris Johnson slams Trump’s Ukraine peace deal, saying after years of sacrifice, Ukraine gets nothing—except to share its minerals with the US. A brutal price for freedom and democracy, with no real security in return. #Ukraine #Trump #Sacrifice #PeaceDeal

“Trump’s push for seabed mining is a gold rush that could wreck our oceans. As America races for minerals, China and others join the fray—ignoring the environmental cost. Are we willing to sacrifice fragile ecosystems for short-term gain? #DeepSeaMining #EcoDisaster #ThinkAhead”

Conservatives once believed in limited government and strong courts. Arresting judges for not helping ICE? That’s not conservative — that’s authoritarian. How many boxes can you tick of Orbanization? #RuleOfLaw

As negotiations continue, Russia shows what ‘peace’ means to them: 9 dead, 63 injured in Kyiv. Hard to make a deal with missiles flying. #Ukraine #RussianPeace #Trump

In WWII, brave Europeans risked everything to mislead authorities and protect the vulnerable. Today, a U.S. judge faces prosecution for doing the same: standing up for human dignity in the face of harsh immigration laws. Sometimes, justice defies authority. #resistance #immigration #Orbanization

PVV bezuinigt op zorgtoezicht: Directie Zorg van de ACM verdwijnt, specialisten op straat. Minder controle op fusies, prijsafspraken en privacy in de zorg. Dom, kortzichtig en gevaarlijk. De patiënt betaalt straks de rekening. #zorg #PVV #toezicht #ACM

Europe stood with US in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the War on Terror. Now Kyiv burns, children are buried under rubble — and Trump wants Ukraine to surrender. That’s not peace. That’s pressure. Great nations don’t abandon allies under fire. #EuropeStoodWithUS #StandWithUkraine #LeadershipMatters

8 killed. 70 injured (including 6 children). Rescue teams racing to find 2 more under Kyiv’s rubble. And Trump is obsessed with critiquing Zelensky’s rhetoric. Great leaders focus on saving lives, not scorecards—and upholding our shared values. #StandWithUkraine #LeadershipMatters #EUStoodWithUS

Conservatives: Trump’s push to control the Fed threatens limited government, free markets & separation of powers. He’s checking off the 7 Laws of Orbanization. A thread ⤵️

“The Fed should work for the people” sounds great—until you realize it’s code for: do what the President says, or else. That’s not freedom. That’s control. Trump is checking the Orbanization boxes. Conservatives beware: once the guardrails are gone, no one is safe. #ProtectDemocracy #Orbanization

The bully complains the victim is too loud. Trump accuses Zelensky of “inciting rhetoric” while Putin’s bombs keep falling. Whose side are you really on, Mr. President? #kompromat Trump to Zelensky: “Stop making it hard for Putin.” The mask isn’t just off — it’s on the Kremlin floor. #kompromat

Trump just told a war victim to tone it down. Zelensky doesn’t need to be quieter — America needs to be louder in defending Ukraine. Imagine blaming the guy defending his home. Trump calls Zelensky’s words “provocative.” Maybe Trump prefers silence… when it’s Putin invading.

Meta accused the EU of getting a fine for not complying with the European Digital Market Act to give China an advantage. So bluntly in the Trump camp. Instead of reflecting on their own compliance. Power to the people, know what to do. Tesla 71% down in profit. #WeDoNotForget.

Trump, who doesn’t want to negotiate but rather dictate, has taken a stand. Take a look at the Harvard letter: Harvard researchers are being arrested simply for expressing their opinion about Ukraine. It is violent power. We must remain vigilant and not remain silent in the face of such violence.

Wat doet het #PVV-kabinet eigenlijk? Eerst ongemerkt hogere inkomsten belasting door niets te doen aan inflatie. En nu vertraagt het verzwaren van het stroomnet doordat ze weer niks regelen voor stikstof. Bedrijven en nieuwbouw in de wacht, natuur overbelast. #voorjaarsnota #Liander #stikstofcrisis

Remember: The price for voting to regain sovereignty and break away from Europe is that a country becomes a vassal state of Russia or America.

The 7 Laws of Orbanization Dismantle democracy — with applause: 1. Politicize every position 2. Centralize all power 3. Dismantle oversight institutions 4. Bend the judiciary 5. Frame the press as the enemy 6. Create an enemy class 7. Rewrite the rules #Politics #CivicEngagement

Het PVV kabinet zegt dat werken moet lonen. Achter je rug om verhogen ze de belasting: geen aanpassing belastingschijven aan inflatie. Gevolg? Jij betaalt meer inkomstenbelasting, terwijl alles al duur is. Laat je niet belazeren. Kom in actie! #voorjaarsnota #verborgenbelasting #malieveld

De Trump-regering eist o.a. dat Harvard alle diversiteits- en inclusieprogramma’s schrapt — onder dreiging van het intrekken van federale subsidies. Een aanval op academische vrijheid en vooruitgang. Amerika zakt af naar ideologisch autoritarisme. #DEI #Harvard #NRC #NYTimes
