In @volkskrant, collega @BramJoanknecht over scheefgroei en vermogensbelasting: ‘Als we een belasting van 1 procent zouden heffen op het vermogen van de 500 rijkste Nederlanders, dan levert dat jaarlijks ongeveer 2,4 miljard euro op.’ #TaxTheRich https://t.co/lsptBL5qzd
Yesterday, a large majority of the Dutch Parliament voted for a resolution asking the government to support coordinated efforts for a global tax on the very rich. This includes MPs from VVD (Renew), NSC (EPP), Groenlinks-PvdA (Greens/S&D), and SP (GUE/NGL).

We hebben de rechtszaak gewonnen die we samen met @PAXforpeace en @TheRightsForum zijn gestart! De rechter heeft besloten dat Nederland binnen 7 dagen moet stoppen met het leveren van F-35 onderdelen aan Israël.
The #US + #EU have done nothing to stop #Israeli Genocide in #Gaza whereas the Houthis have done something by interfering with Ships facilitating it - And it's #Yemen that gets bombed..? So Western States value the Commercial profits of Shipping more than #Palestinian lives...
Please keep us in the dark. Don't tell us what war crimes you commit with the bombs and the weapons we send you. That was the US Senate's message to Israel. Period. https://t.co/MRGlx55pNS

The fortunes of the five richest men have shot up by 114% since 2020. Meanwhile, 800 million workers have lost $1.5 trillion over the last two years due to inflation. It's time to rein in runaway corporate power. #InequalityInc#FightInequality

Capitalism exacerbates inequalities.
The combined wealth of the top five richest people has increased by 114% since 2020, while the total wealth of the poorest 60% of the world population has declined by 0.2%.

11 January 2023 - ICJ, The Hague
Watching African women & men fighting to save humanity & the int'l legal system against the ruthless attacks supported/enabled by most of the West will remain one of the defining images of our time. This will make history whatever happens.
Kudos South Africa - for your substantive, tightly argued 80-page charge of genocidal intent against Israel, replete with references to senior UN officials & reports. Who is next? Anyone in authority in Europe interested in promoting human rights? https://t.co/KRh5Z2dbhz
