1/ Some wild numbers have been used in the media this week for “the cost of net zero”.

Reports have said that net zero will “cost” £4.5 trillion, £7.6 trillion – the list goes on.

None of these are the cost of net zero – a quick explainer 🧵 on why

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Als indieners steunen wij - GroenLinksPvdA, D66, CDA, SP, PvdD, DENK, CU en Volt- volledig deze oproep. Zeer zorgelijk dat de staatssecretaris 2 aangenomen moties naast zich neerlegt.

Kabinet, voer onze motie uit en versterk de stem van maatschappelijke organisaties!

Yesterday, Dutch Justice Minister Van Weel said, about ICE and Renee Good: "In a democracy, people sometimes get killed by the government too. But the US is still a democracy because they will thoroughly investigate what happened, and then do justice."
Seems he missed this:

De diepe desinteresse voor de
informatieoorlog waarin we verzeild zijn geraakt en het luie enerzijds-anderzijdsgeklets maakt de leden van het zogenaamde redelijke midden erger dan de fascisten zelf. Die stáán tenminste nog ergens voor.

Trump zegt dat "dat het feit dat je er 500 jaar geleden met een boot aankwam niet betekent dat je het land bezit".

Misschien nu al de quote van het jaar.

Trump: Groenland wordt Amerikaans, 'of ze nou willen of niet'
Al sinds zijn tweede termijn begon, bijna een jaar geleden, heeft Trump erop gehamerd dat het gigantische, dunbevolkte eiland in de Atlantische Oceaan moet worden ingelijfd door de VS.

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

Trump "has ceded Europe to Russia," @general-ben.bsky.social says. His message to Europeans: "Hold us accountable. Don't roll over."

The new US national security strategy doesn't mention Russia as a threat — but names Western liberal democracies as one.

X ceased being a public square years ago, and over the last month, it’s degraded even further.

A platform that enables the creation non-consensual sexualised images of women and children cannot be treated as neutral ground - and governments choosing to stay are endorsing it.

Enough is enough.
Staying on X is an Endorsement - and It's Unforgivable
The UK government cannot claim to protect women and children while continuing to post on a platform that enables their abuse.

Honestly think that if you pulled twitter from the App Store and shut it down it would fuck up the entire right wing ecosystem at that point. Like the entire media apparatus would fall apart.

Er is geen 'polarisatie'. Er is niets anders gebeurd dan dat mensen wiens politiek gebaseerd is op haat voor 'de ander' steeds luidruchtiger en agressiever zijn geworden.

Ik ben deze misleidende frame zo totaal zat. En het midden dat 'een beetje haat' een fijn compromis vindt kan ook doodvallen. 1/
Boeiend interview in @trouw.nl met polarisatie-expert Bart Brandsma over z’n werk.Depolariseren doe je door het midden te versterken, door elke liefdevolle overtuiging kracht bij te zetten en door niet bij de standpunten te blijven, maar naar ervaringsverhalen te luisteren en deze door te vertellen.

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies
