@RPlasterk @PvdA Dat komt mooi uit, want velen van ons schamen zich al jaren plaatsvervangend voor jou. Zeg op!

Ministers krijgen automatisch een lintje als ze bij aftreden minstens een jaar op hun post hebben gezeten, en het is best bevredigend dat Faber dat net niet gered heeft.

Holy shit, these San Diego residents kicking ICE the fuck out of their neighborhood.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

When asked by journalists whether yesterday’s operation might enrage the Russians, I responded that just a day earlier, Russia had launched a massive overnight attack on Ukraine, over 480 drones and missiles. They struck civilian infrastructure, residential buildings. There were casualties, people killed and injured.

This happens every single day. Sometimes there’s a short pause, and to be honest, we now call it a “pause” if there’s just no one killed that night. But even then, drones still fly, and people still get wounded. These so-called pauses just mean fewer attacks than usual, but we’re still talking about dozens of drones and cruise missiles.

So no, no one cares whether Russia is angry. What matters is that Russia must move toward ending this war. And as a global community, we must all do what we can to stop them.

We are very much awaiting strong steps from the United States. We hope he will support sanctions and push Putin to stop this war, at least to take the first step toward ending it: a ceasefire. These are critical things. I believe that from the position of the U.S., we will be able to achieve this faster.

@sue_klauber @d4nf0x @TroikaBooks I saw a Soulseeds-post of your posts on Insta and went looking for you on the twitter I don’t use much anymore. Just to thank you for sharing your mom’s life and thank her for being an example for all of us young(er) women. All the best from the Netherlands!

Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded https://t.co/AU4XjT1mpT

Did the White House use ChatGPT Vibe Code a retarded formula for our tariffs and then were too dumb to cover it up?

Yes. Here's the wildest trade story you missed today 🧵👇

[James Surowiecki @JamesSurowiecki]

Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us.

So we have a $17.9 billion trade deficit with Indonesia. Its exports to us are $28 billion. $17.9/$28 = 64%, which Trump claims is the tariff rate Indonesia charges us. What extraordinary nonsense this is.

[Protect Kamala Harris ✊ @DisavowTrump20]

Today, Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde boldly called out Donald Trump for his hatred and bigotry at the National Cathedral Prayer Service. Now, the GOP is attacking her for speaking truth to power.

RETWEET if you stand with Bishop Budde against Trump!

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist.”

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll discuss the absolute state of X in January 2025. Since its acquisition by Elon Musk, this platform has rapidly transformed into his personal political tool and a breeding ground for hate speech and disinformation.

Jean-Marie Le Pen was een extreem-rechtse racist en antisemiet die meerdere keren veroordeeld is voor racistische / antisemitische uitspraken en holocaust ontkenning. Als je in je broek schijt bij de gedachte links genoemd te worden noem je dat “polariserende opmerkingen”

Latest reminder that it’s always about money and holding on to the power needed to gain it and secure it. Modern dictators like Putin aren’t ideologues, they’re mafia bosses with Swiss bank accounts to fill.

This is what the climate crisis looks like. Our beautiful homes, luxurious cars, and money has no value on a dead planet.

Nee, het is niet normaal dat een Kamerlid een kritische burger intimideert met een aangifte. #BBB https://t.co/hJjRBRNwet

[Piet Lekkerkerk @PietLekkerkerk]

Ik moet de laatste dagen af en toe weleens denken aan die arme @henkvermeer en zijn kansloze aangifte.
Ik denk dan bijna dat ik Henk moet helpen. Want stel je voor dat een Officier van Justitie naar de aangifte kijkt, en ook denkt: Vermeer, waarom loog je nou over die donatie? /2
