Rosanne Hertzberger steunde de uiterst-rechtse regering-Schoof, en was persoonlijk verantwoordelijk voor een anti-trans motie. Geen probleem voor @nrc.nl , die haar weer terug haalt als middelmatige columniste. Zegt echt alles over de Nederlandse media.

Een kleine revolutie in de VS.
BERNIE: “Lastly, and perhaps most importantly— Demanding the wealthy and large corporations start paying their fair share of taxes…”

CROWD: “Tax the rich! Tax the rich!”

ZOHRAN: “If you are a New Yorker, I am your mayor.”

BREAKING: A Russian newspaper today — “America no longer sees our country as a threat… The US leader’s philosophy is closer to the values of Russia’s president, not the politicians of the Old World… he sees Europe as a liberal stronghold that must be destroyed…”

Read that again.

This dancing is on top of the theater in Mariupol where hundreds of children were sheltered and killed by Russians. They rebuilt the theater and are hosting parties.

Vreemde en smerige politiek van India, Pakistan en VAE.
🇺🇦 Oekraïense minister van Buitenlandse Zaken Andrii Sybiha:

Oekraïne is "teleurgesteld en bezorgd over de verklaringen van de Verenigde Arabische Emiraten, India en Pakistan, waarin zij hun bezorgdheid uitten over de aanval die nooit heeft plaatsgevonden".

De Russische bewering dat Oekraïne een residentie van Poetin zou hebben aangevallen "is volledig verzonnen en bedoeld om verdere aanvallen op Oekraïne, waaronder Kyiv, te rechtvaardigen", zegt Zelensky.

Every single time Trump has a meeting with Zelensky, Putin calls Trump the day before and Trump’s position in the Zelensky meeting then mirrors the Russian position. The talking points are the same, with all the same lies. It’s a simple playbook for Putin and it works every time.

America's richest 10% now hold 60% of the nation's wealth.

The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%.

Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.

It’s now the seventh hour of another massive russian attack on Ukraine.

Cruise missiles are approaching Kyiv from the south and east. Drones are attacking the city and its suburbs. The explosions haven’t stopped.

Hedendaags Amerikaans fascisme.
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.

Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.

"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.

"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.
