Donald Trump speelt de sterke leider op televisie. Maar in werkelijkheid ondermijnt zijn zwakte de positie van Amerika op het wereldtoneel. Lees het stuk van Timothy Snyder 👉 buff.ly/p1zU4Of

It concerns me that we're in age not just of political assassinations, but Holocaust-denial-levels of denialism by US senators

So much voor de VVD als betrouwbare schatkistbewaarder. Ik zeg; geef die elitaire linkse, verspillende, bedrijfsleven kapot makende types maar een keer een kans.

Nee joh

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s new CDC advisory committee is proof that America’s anti-vaccine era is truly beginning, Katherine J. Wu writes. https://theatln.tc/mnkSz8WC

Stiekem hoop ik dat Frankrijk nog een tandje bijzet voor de Bastille Day Parade komende maand.

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

Why is germ theory in the same air quotes as "miasma theory," I ask as a historian of medicine who is very very tired

When it was more fun in your imagination.

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

#nokings is a glimmer of hope

If 102-year-old Kurt Goldschmidt, a survivor of the Holocaust, says "no kings" you'd best get up and stand up for your rights before it's too late. Mr. Goldschmidt knows all too well what he's seeing in Trump's America. It was an honor to stand with him today. #NoKingsInAmerica

Los Angeles. Just wow.

ooof.

Schiff has voted with Trump 32 times since January. He gets on TV to talk tough and then literally votes for Trump’s agenda.

BREAKING: Minnesota Senator John Hoffman and his wife were shot multiple times, but both are expected to survive, governor says

Walz announces that Rep. Melissa Hortman is dead as a result of a "politically motivated assassination"

Kan dit stoppen? Leden werven bij een politiek congres? Ik verdedig het belang van een sterke, journalistiek onafhankelijke publieke omroep. Dit is volstrekt contrair hieraan.

Hmja, want bedrijven of vermogenden een tikje meer belasten is natuurlijk onmogelijk. fd.nl/economie/155...

We are officially in the Third Red Scare. This letter from Josh Hawley to the @pslweb.bsky.social is absolutely chilling.

‘Meester-interviewer’ • Sven “spreekt VVD-leider” Dilan. • Sven “vraagt” het Caroline. • Sven “vraagt” het Gijs. • Sven “voelt klimaatdrammer Rob aan de tand”.

Meanwhile, in Washington, D.C., U.S. soldiers are rehearsing for Trump’s wasteful military parade tomorrow, which is being held to celebrate his birthday (and allegedly to mark 250 years of the U.S. Army). All this to soothe the ego of a five-time draft dodger. Embarrassing.

We gaan blijkbaar nog 3,5 jaar lang elke ophitsende Trump-breinscheet op Truth Social tot nieuwsbericht verheffen.

Het luchtruim is leeg (via BBC)

Thinking again about this tonight. We are a deeply unserious country with a deeply unserious press corps, which is why we are deeply in serious trouble both domestically & internationally right now.

hey guys I actually can't stop thinking about this. is someone on the moon. can someone go check

In 2018, Donald Trump, then in his first term as US president, let Iran out of nuclear restrictions in exchange for nothing. Many people, very much including me, warned that he put things on a path with only two possible outcomes: large-scale war, or a nuclear-armed Iran. And here we are.

We'll remember nz.news.yahoo.com/hegseth-joke...

Literally describing themselves as occupying a blue state like hostile territory with the military and federal forces.

Wat hier gebeurt: minister die zegt: gekozen politici in Californië gaan we verwijderen omdat wij hen niet goed vinden. En daarna wordt de senator uit CA meteen maar even gearresteerd omdat die er wat van vindt…

this is an amazing article but is topped off by the fact that these south african “refugees” are asking their embassy if they can go back to south africa lol

Trump will pardon him.

Trump went to the Kennedy Center and Drag Queens showed up! Yassssssssss ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
