Anne Frank, the sequel

Sophie Sherry @sophiesherry.bsky.social · 11h

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Kiezers vinden de woningmarkt een belangrijker thema dan migratie

De woningmarkt is voor Nederlanders het hoofdthema bij de komende verkiezingen, duidelijk belangrijker dan migratie. En bijna de helft van de kiezers vindt dat de hypotheekrente geleidelijk moet worden afgeschaft, een derde vindt van niet.

Het is geen oorlog maar een genocide. “Het moorden stopt” zou nauwkeuriger zijn geweest. Maar zelfs dat dus niet.

Er zijn vannacht nog bombardementen uitgevoerd op Gaza waarbij minstens 4 mensen zijn gedood. Netanyahu gaat tot het állerlaatste moment door met deze genocide. En God mag weten hoe lang dat staakt-het-vuren dan standhoudt. Dit is geen 'vrede'. Laat staan een rechtvaardige en duurzame

-> Both the far-left and the far-right motions of censures came from French MEPs, uploading their fight against 'centrists'

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

Toen het gewiste textjes schandaal speelde, zaten de media er bovenop. Het verschil met Rutte is dat die een teflonlaag had die ervoor zorgde dat alle aandacht ervoor nauwelijks een kras achterliet. Yesilgöz heeft die laag niet, dus doen al deze zelfveroorzaakte ophefmomenten haar serieuze schade.

Kim van Keken @kimvankeken.bsky.social · 1d

Al deze dingen werden uitvoerig besproken en beschreven door… journalisten. Waarom denk je dat Rutte het ineens had over een radicaal andere bedrijfscultuur? Echt al die mensen met hun meningen die te beroerd zijn om even de archieven in de duiken.

Kyiv will nominate Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize if he sends Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine and helps broker a ceasefire with Russia, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said today.

Zelenskyy: If Trump gives us Tomahawks, we’ll lobby for Nobel Peace Prize

Long-range missiles and a ceasefire with Russia is all it would take for a nomination from Kyiv, Ukrainian leader says.
