[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Three months ago today, a war began that no one voted for — and the cost has been paid by people who had no say in it.

Thousands of civilians have lost their lives. Thirteen U.S. servicemembers will never come home to their families.

Americans across this country and our city have watched prices rise at the pump and the grocery store, their budgets strained by a conflict launched without a single vote of Congress.

Every life lost abroad and every dollar squeezed from a working family here is part of the same reckless bill, handed to the people who could least afford it by those who will never pay it themselves.

I opposed this war from the first day. I oppose it still. It must end.

Maak kennis met Stientje van Veldhoven, onze nieuwe minster van Klimaat en Groene Groei!

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

We are spending at least $500 million a day to bomb Iran.

Imagine how many teachers we could hire, how many public housing units we could build, how many bridges and roads we could fix, if we spent that kind of money on improving life for working people?

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

Sigrid Kaag bij Buitenhof gezien?
Niet gezien? Kijk terug!
Wat een verademing.
Wat een wijsheid.

It is reprehensible that European ministers have attacked Special Rapporteur @FranceskAlbs, based on a deliberately truncated video to misrepresent and gravely misconstrue her messages – as is clear from watching her original address in its entirety.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

When impostors go too far.
Repeating a lie until it’s accepted -"illusory truth effect"- is a tactic long used by authoritarian regimes. Lies don’t become facts; they reveal intent.
A serious investigation is needed so the public sees what honest people have endured for decades.

[Rutger Bregman @rcbregman]

Riveting, extraordinary and brutally honest speech by Mark Carney, Canada's prime minister. God, I wish we would have European leaders like this.

Here's an excerpt:

In 1978, the Czech dissident Václav Havel, later president, wrote an essay called “The Power of the Powerless,” and in it he asked a simple question: how did the communist system sustain itself?

And his answer began with a greengrocer.

Every morning, the shopkeeper places a sign in his window: “Workers of the world unite.” He doesn’t believe in it. No one does. But he places the sign anyway to avoid trouble, to signal compliance, to get along. And because every shopkeeper on every street does the same, the system persists — not through violence alone, but through the participation of ordinary people in rituals they privately know to be false.

Havel called this living within a lie. The system’s power comes not from its truth, but from everyone’s willingness to perform as if it were true. And its fragility comes from the same source. When even one person stops performing, when the greengrocer removes his sign, the illusion begins to crack.

Friends, it is time for companies and countries to take their signs down.

For decades, countries like Canada prospered under what we called the rules-based international order. We join its institutions, we praised its principles, we benefited from its predictability. And because of that, we could pursue values-based foreign policies under its protection.

We knew the story of the international rules-based order was partially false, that the strongest would exempt themselves when convenient, that trade rules were enforced asymmetrically, and we knew that international law applied with varied rigor, depending on the identity of the accused or the victim.

This fiction was useful, and American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, open sea lanes, a stable financial system, collective security, and support for frameworks for resolving disputes.

So we placed the sign in the window. We participated in the rituals, and we largely avoided calling out the gaps between rhetoric and reality.

This bargain no longer works.

Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition.

#Buitenhof Hopelijk heeft Jetten aan Kaag een goed voorbeeld en leermeester gehad.
Wat is die vrouw toch een gemis in deze politieke tijd. Net als Timmermans overigens

En ja...ik zet de reactiemogelijkheid bij voorbaat uit. 😂

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

I was briefed this morning on the U.S. military capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, as well as their planned imprisonment in federal custody here in New York City.

Unilaterally attacking a sovereign nation is an act of war and a violation of federal and international law.

This blatant pursuit of regime change doesn’t just affect those abroad, it directly impacts New Yorkers, including tens of thousands of Venezuelans who call this city home. My focus is their safety and the safety of every New Yorker, and my administration will continue to monitor the situation and issue relevant guidance.

Vandaag presenteren D66 en CDA onze positieve agenda voor Nederland. Met keuzes die te lang zijn uitgesteld: meer woningen, investeren in onderwijs en innovatie, koersvast klimaatbeleid en een sterke defensie.

Dit is geen eindpunt, maar een uitnodiging:

[Jesse Klaver @jesseklaver]

Goed dat D66 en CDA inhoudelijk bruggen proberen te slaan tussen partijen. Het is nog niet sociaal en groen genoeg, maar we zien voldoende aanknopingspunten voor inhoudelijke onderhandelingen over een meerderheidskabinet.

Zodat er echt iets gaat veranderen voor gewone mensen.

[Arend Jan Boekestijn @ajboekestijn]

D66 en CDA hebben voortreffelijke fractievoorzitters. Het stuk dat vandaag werd gepresenteerd is constructief en creatief. Indien andere partijen dit stuk naar de prullenbak verwijzen hebben zij veel uit te leggen.
