De regering-De Wever zuigt een half miljard koopkracht uit de economie. Planbureau waarschuwde in juni: "De groeivertraging is voornamelijk toe te schrijven aan de duidelijke afzwakking van de groei van de gezinsconsumptie, als gevolg van de daling van de koopkracht."

Italy, France, Greece did it again.

Three Rome Statute parties opened their airspace to fugitive Netanyahu, in breach of their obligation to cooperate with the ICC.

I call on competent authorities to investigate possible complicity.

🔸BREAKING | The Republican-led House Ways and Means Committee has subpoenaed BreakThrough News for internal communications and financial records as part of an investigation the nonprofit outlet calls a politically motivated attack on independent journalism and the First Amendment.

BreakThrough News says it has not been accused of any crime, receives no funding from foreign governments or institutions, and already complies with nonprofit tax and reporting requirements. The outlet says lawmakers are targeting its coverage of Palestine solidarity, ICE, Cuba and other U.S. foreign policy issues, and has retained legal counsel to fight the subpoena while launching a petition and fundraising campaign.

De Ridder verbergt een geheim akkoord om 12,1 miljoen euro belastinggeld cadeau te geven en belooft al subsidies tot 2039.

Belastingbetalers: "Wij eisen transparantie en GEEN GEHEIME DEALS!"

HLN: "Hier, een N-VA-debatfiche. Woord voor woord. Toevallig. Bek dicht, Vlamingen!"

Ben Weyts:

"Het is maar 100 euro, he, kut-Vlamingen. Waarom al dat gejank? Ik kan 100 euro gemakkelijk betalen met mijn uitkering van 22.000 euro per maand, plus onkostenvergoeding, woonpremie, auto en chauffeur."

De arrogantie van de Vlaams-nationalisten is om van te kotsen.

Spot the difference. This is how media provokes outrage for one action and manufactures consent for another.

Why did our ruling class not invest in decarbonising faster to avoid this acceleration in deadly heatwaves that scientists warned would come? Because of the capitalist law of value.

Capital invests in what is most profitable to capital, rather than what is most necessary for humanity, so our ruling class keeps ploughing investment into fossil fuels and SUVs, while we get far too little in renewables and public transit, even while the world burns around us.

We have more than enough capacity (labour, factories, technology) to address the climate crisis, but as long as capital controls investment and production we are prevented from doing it.

We are trapped by the capitalist law of value, living in a miserable shadow of the world we could have.

Dr Walter Rodney was assassinated on June 13, 1980, by a bomb planted in a walkie talkie. He was 38.

His key work, How Europe Underdeveloped Africa, exposed the roots of global inequality and the violence of colonial underdevelopment.

Billionaires emit more carbon in one hour than a poor person does in a lifetime.

This is propaganda.

Trump on Monday: Netnyahau is not my boss! I'm his! And we're ending this war!

Trump today: We're again bombing Iran like Netnayahu wants!

(I love the notion that Iran is the aggressor by attacking a US helicopter there to impose a full embargo on Iran, a classic act of war).
