For many years now, my people have been showing the whole world what is happening in Ukraine, and what the russians are doing to our country, our people, and our cities. You often see lines like: "When will the world finally hear us?", "World, don’t close your eyes," or "Please, don’t stay silent." Last night, the russians struck Zaporizhzhia and Sumy again-as always, brutally and mercilessly, as if we Ukrainians are not human beings, but just a testing ground, a place where they can do whatever they want with impunity, because it’s "war," after all.
This morning, I see my people showing the world the horrific footage of another terrible night; as always, only the names of the cities change. And yes, the world sees everything, the world hears, the world is not silent. But what is the point of it all? What can an ordinary person from any European country really do on a global scale? We have already heard every kind of condolence, and every prayer in the world has been addressed to Ukrainians and Ukraine.
Half of 2026 is already behind us. Perhaps the world has just grown accustomed to someone else’s pain. Or maybe this war has dragged on so long that everyone is starting to feel hopeless and powerless... Honestly, I don't know anymore. But I do know one thing: silence is not an option. Yet, appealing to the world no longer makes sense-everyone already knows, sees, and hears everything. And the russians act as if this is their world, or as if they’ve simply taken the wheel and are dictating the rules of impunity... I don’t even know how to end this text.
In Russia, young men are being kidnapped and sent to the meat grinder in Ukraine.
In the coming months, these operations will become a daily occurrence. They are a precursor to the mobilization expected after Russia's September "elections."
Putin is getting desperate.
Een engelse "kunstenaar" gooit tonnen stinkende aarde op de graven in de oude Kerk van Amsterdam. (Waar onze burgemeesters, rijke handelaren, zeevaarders, kunstenaar en ook de vrouw en muze van Rembrandt Saskia Uylenburgh ligt. Onder het motto : "I have to believe in coalition and community, despite everything." Meneer weet precies wat de subsidieverstrekkers willen horen, dat moet je hem nageven, maar wat een teloorgang van een beschaving. Je moet de stad wel heel erg haten om dit toe te laten.
Eindelijk kruisraketten voor Oekraïne🇺🇦! Biden, Scholz, Merz en ook Trump durfden niet. @RobJetten@DilanYesilgoz@DerkBoswijk doen wat nodig is! Hoog tijd om RU drone & missile fabrieken uit te schakelen die UA steden vernielen. Bedankt @MinPres@DefensieMin@DefensieStas ! 🇳🇱🇺🇦
We remember Clifford Brown, who left us on this date (October 30, 1930 – June 26, 1956).

Color footage of a Dutch submarine exercise in Indonesian waters. During World War II, the Dutch Navy operated 24 submarines. In 1942, 15 of them were stationed in the Dutch East Indies, where they fought against the Japanese Navy. Only five of these submarines survived the war.
18 juni 1916: in Amsterdam demonstreerden 18.000 betogers voor het vrouwenkiesrecht onder de leus ‘Geen grondswetswijziging zonder vrouwenkiesrecht’. Centraal stond 'de Nederlandse maagd’ te paard, omringd door twaalf jonge meisjes die de 11 provincies en Indië voorstelden.
Japan speelt gelijk, wint niet altijd en verliest soms ook. Maar één ding winnen hun fans bijna elke keer: respect. 🇯🇵🧹👏
Terwijl anderen naar de uitgang lopen, maken zij eerst de tribune schoon. Klasse blijft klasse.
