Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara shook as he watched a video of ICE officers pulling a woman — a U.S. citizen on her way to a medical appointment — from her car.

Her desperate plea to the ICE agents before they grabbed her: “I am an autistic disabled person and I'm trying to go to the doctor.”
Minneapolis' police chief fears possible "moment where it all explodes" as ICE operation continues
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara says he worries about escalating tensions amid ICE enforcement. But top ICE official Marcos Charles says his officers act "lawfully and with professionalism."

Pensioenfonds ABP is uit Tesla gestapt (eind 2024/begin 2025) vanwege bezwaren tegen de bestuurlijke governance van het bedrijf, met name het omstreden en enorme beloningspakket van CEO Elon Musk, dat ABP als onredelijk hoog en niet in lijn met goed bestuur beschouwde.

The first thing Virginia Spanberger did after being sworn in as Governor of Virginia was repeal Youngkin’s executive order requiring state and local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE.

This is the kind of leadership Democratic governors nationwide should be emulating.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.

The release of Europeans detained in Venezuela is a great relief for families and a positive step.

I spoke today with several released EU citizens.

This outcome is the result of persistent EU diplomacy and close coordination with Member States. Special thanks to our Delegation and EEAS teams.

China and Russia must be having a field day. They are the ones who benefit from divisions among Allies.

If Greenland’s security is at risk, we can address this inside NATO.

Tariffs risk making Europe and the United States poorer and undermine our shared prosperity. (1/2)

Exit Wiersma, de allerbelabberdste minister van Landbouw die we ooit hebben gehad, zegt Leeuwarder Courant (dus erger dan bv CDA’ers Henk Bleeker, Gerda Verburg!)
Lobbyist, geen enkel oog voor landsbelang. Ook BBB-gedeputeerden in provincies voelen zich door haar in de steek gelaten.

It was not tempting last year to cross the border, it's even less tempting this year. Go to the US and get kidnap to be sent to Uganda, no thank you.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Ik denk niet dat Donald J. Trump verwacht had dat Europa militairen naar Groenland zou sturen. Het enige juiste antwoord is dat van Macron. Je moet je niet laten intimideren door zo'n figuur.

Hoe kan Europa de VS het hardst raken en gelijktijdig de eigen economie stimuleren en moderniseren.
Pensioenfondsen, verzekeraars, beleggers investeren het onvoorstelbare bedrag $14.500 miljard in de VS.
Een geleidelijke afbouw en investering in Europa zal de Amerikaanse economie een dreun geven.
