Trump’s disgusting behavior in our Oval Office in the company of a genuine hero and defender of democracy like Volodymyr Zelensky may be the most disgraceful public behavior by any president in our history.

Europe must move quickly to change facts on the ground. Release frozen Russia assets to rebuild Ukraine, send peacekeepers, implement a war tax. Russia is weak and the US is imploding. The EU is facing a COVID like break where it has the chance to transform and lead www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

"We may never know why Trump is so perversely loyal to Putin," and "we don't know exactly why Musk went all in for Trump and Russia," Garry Kasparov writes. "But the urgency of their actions I do understand, and it's a dire warning":

[108] Snel gesprek minister met RvT NPO

Put me out of my misery.

Worried about ongoing fascist take-over of our government? These one pot spätzle will make you feel like you're in a Munich beer hall.

EU imports of Russian fossil fuels exceeded aid to Ukraine in third year of the Russian invasion, report says #Ukraine

Republican Congressman Mark Alford is hearing from his constituents in Missouri loud and clear today: Hey-hey! Ho-ho! Elon Musk has got to go! (via Brian Johnson / KMBC)

Got Olaf on the phone crying. Says he's sorry and hopes I remember all he did for me. Loser.

Sounds like the resistance has found its slogan

Straks blijkt nog dat de NCRV ten ontechte aan de KRO is gekoppeld

Durf te vragen!

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

"Frederieke Leeflang bevestigt in een interview dat zowel de Ondernemingsraad als de externe vertrouwenspersoon zich bij haar meldden met klachten van medewerkers over haar gedrag. Maar, ‘tegenwoordig wordt de veiligheidskaart wel heel snel getrokken’, zegt ze."

Nieuws | Een jaar na ‘Van Rijn’ zijn er aanhoudende klachten over het gedrag van bestuursvoorzitter van de NPO Frederieke Leeflang, blijkt uit onderzoek ism het Algemeen Dagblad

We are experiencing the old global order coming to an end, old rules, agreements and values being reviewed. Or, rather, this is not the end. These are changes and transformations, as well as the beginning of something new. There will be new alliances, rules and agreements.

Here we go!

Wauw, televisie als feodaal medium

Je hoort ze natuurlijk wel, die verhalen over “bluesky”. Maar het is toch schrikken als een wildvreemde opeens zonder enige ironie zegt dat we hier in principe ook geen grappen over het uiterlijk van Tijs van den Brink maken

Some 109 clashes take place along front line during day #Ukraine

The EU will announce the largest military aid package for Ukraine, probably next week: about €700 billion “We will launch a large package that has never been seen on this scale before,"German Foreign Minister @abaerbock.diplo.de said, calling it "the financial package for security in Europe."

Openbaar Ministerie schaft korte celstraffen zoveel mogelijk af voor diefstal, oplichting en heling. Alleen nog boetes en taakstraf. En buiten de strafrechter om. www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/...

Zo voelt het wel ja. Samen Oekraïne en vervolgens de rest van Europa plunderen.

Als de overheid harde keuzes blijft uitstellen zullen jonge boeren vertrekken en zal het platteland verder verloederen. De noodkreet van jonge boeren: 'Welke sectoren blijven en welke moeten wijken? Als dat niet duidelijk wordt, ga ik het niet lang meer volhouden.'

ik: het zijn interessante en beangstigende tijden, laat ik de talkshows weer eens een kans geven de talkshows:

Elon Musk is doing exactly what Americans elected him to do.

There’s so much European focus on a peacekeeping mission to Ukraine. But this will only happen in the (highly unlikely) event these talks are successful. Much more likely is the talks fail, war continues, US support ends. European support for Ukraine will be critical to its survival.

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

The Schmitt has hit the fan.

Breaking: Macron - not @eucopresident.consilium.europa.eu - convenes emergency EU Summit in Paris - not Brussels - on Monday #euco

Team trump: Europe should take care of its own security. Also team trump. Europe can't be a part of negotiations about European security.

Should we be grabbing as much stuff as possible off the US National Archives website before the Trump administration shuts it down too?

I'm very very tired of mainstream editors obsessed with lazy contrarian engagement bait trying to pretend to be interesting, original thought it's particularly insulting to those of us working in media who have watched a sea of far better writers and thinkers get mercilessly shitcanned

Private partijen proberen journalisten en actievoerders het zwijgen op te leggen door in slepende rechtszaken enorme geldbedragen van ze te eisen. Het belangrijkste doel is hen via lange juridische procedures te laten stoppen met hun activiteiten. www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/...

Von der Leyen: Oekraïne moet sneller toetreden tot EU

Over 6,000 cases of Russian use of chemicals recorded over 2 years, Ukraine says #Ukraine

Ukraine has proposed joint mining with the EU. The Prime Minister emphasized that Ukraine possesses 22 critical minerals and has the largest reserves of uranium, lithium and titanium, and has the ability to export uranium to the EU. www.politico.eu/article/ukra...

Fusie op links? Blijf niet steken bij PvdA, GroenLinks en D66, maar haal ook VVD erbij

Whether they sound like doves or sound like hawks, the first thing to keep in mind about the Trump administration is that it is led by incoherent fools that are incapable of formulating anything close to a strategy

De appeasement-strategie van Trump werkt zo goed dat de Russen alvast Tsjernobyl bombarderen.
