Ik kijk het @nieuws.nos.nl journaal.
Please beste NOS. Spreek de ‘demonstranten’ tegen op hum leugens. Want hun woorden gaan nu weer ongekaderd de ether in. Het journaal sprak ook niet over hitlergroeten en woorden als ‘kankerjood’, oa tegen Timmermans. Of ‘Halsema, de hoer van Amsterdam’

We verlagen zorgkosten niet door te bezuinigen, maar door mensen gezond te houden. Dat begint bij schone lucht, schoon water en gifvrije landbouw

Laat vervuilers als Tata Steel betalen voor schade die ze aanrichten, en investeer in goede, betaalbare zorg voor iedereen en afschaffen van eigen risico

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

"Frankfurt concludes the bullshitter 'does not reject the authority of the truth, as the liar does, and oppose himself to it. He pays no attention to it at all.' The extensive spread of bullshit is therefore a far greater social and political problem than the occasional use of lies."

"The erosion of shared understanding leads to a societal disconnect, where individuals prioritize loyalty to group ideologies over a commitment to objective truth. This phenomenon has implications for democratic processes as it contributes to political polarization and a distrust in institutions."

It’s a ceasefire.

There is no peace until there is self-determination and independence with a Palestinian government and leadership.

George Takei @georgetakei.bsky.social · 1d

May this peace hold.

Tweet from Barack Obama: “After two years of unimaginable loss and suffering for Israeli families and the people of Gaza, we should all be encouraged and relieved that an end to the conflict is within sight…”
The tweet continues expressing hope for peace, aid to Gaza, and rebuilding efforts.

This is so true: Don’t conflate conspiracy thinking with your ignorance! There are a lot more people who should take this to heart.

Read, it's well documented. Bibi, wants to keep Palestine divided politically to make the 2 state solution impossible. Don't conflate a conspiracy with your ignorance.
