Ik herhaal nog maar even het begrip van Timothy Snyder over het Sadopopulisme. Niet inzetten op verbetering voor iedereen, maar zorgen dat een ander het slechter heeft dan jij. Het is de laatste tree voor het echte kneiterharde fascisme zich in volle bloei ontvouwt

These attacks on protest and freedoms cannot be fought in isolation or in movement silos. We need broad, brave coalition. Climate, Palestine, labor, migrant, trans and reproductive rights; academic freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of association ... Together we are mighty. Divided we fall.

I decided to start a #thread 🧵 of stories about legal residents and tourists being (illegally) arrested, detained and/or deported by the Trump regime. I'll only post stories from serious sources, as rumors and conspiracies are really not needed in this authoritarian moment.

US Bluesky users should be careful with what they post. And I guess European Social media users planning to visit the US should be aware that their posts can be used against them by the Trump regime too.

Dit gebeurt ook bij schizofrenie: cognitieve dissonantie wordt (onbewust) onderdrukt waardoor je het gevoel met de realiteit (feiten) verliest. Je hebt niet meer door dat er 'iets niet klopt' als je denkt dat je Napoleon bent, dat de nieuwslezer jou aanspreekt, of dat iemand in je huis is geweest.

Mensenrechten worden stelselmatig kapotgemaakt, ziet Amnesty-directeur Dagmar Oudshoorn, en dat baart haar grote zorgen. Het belang van zulke rechten uitleggen in populistische tijden, blijkt een grote uitdaging. ‘Dat we genuanceerd moeten blijven, is soms een beperking.’
