That is why the Rodney King analysis is so relevant: the LAPD lawyers were trying to project an idea on the video, and Rodney King another. But both parties accepted the video as having some grounding in reality. That link seems now lost, and we only have a battle over ideas.

Well if it's Al, it's at least true. They ARE arresting journalists. Compare that to Trump's lying record. This doesn't hold a candle to that.

Als je nuchter kijkt dan zit er meer bewegingsruimte op rechts, met de VVD in vrije val. En met D66 zich nu positionerend als centrum-rechts denk ik dat ze in het centrum teveel concurrentie hebben (met op sociale vleugel ook christenunie)

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.

It would be interesting to contrast this to Tomasulo's argument about the Rodney King video, which from today's point-of-view is oddly reality-based.

Die houding tav Frankrijk staat dan weer in schril contrast tot het beate dwepen met dat andere land van de grote gebaren, de VS.

Off-topic, maar de Nederlandse verhouding tot Frankrijk is een analyse waard. Het is een combinate van misprijzen maar ook afgunst, omdat het land wel grote gebaren maakt. De kruideniersmentaliteit in Nederland kan daar niet mee om.

Meer geld voor onderwijs en wetenschap is volgens @lisawesterveld.bsky.social de enige manier om innovatie, zorg en kansengelijkheid overeind te houden. Minister Moes van de BBB ziet dat anders: wie blijft “uitgeven zoals Frankrijk”, “dondert om als samenleving”.

Excluding Marwan Barghouti from the list of prisoners for release means none of the parties are serious about the second stage of the agreement (replacing Hamas with an alternative administration) let along any "peace" prospects

“It’s become quite difficult to hide one’s money,” Thiel said, according to the recordings. “An incredible machinery of tax treaties, financial surveillance, and sanctions architecture has been constructed.” Wealth gives the “illusion of power and autonomy,” Thiel added, according to the recordings, “but you have this sense it could be taken away at any moment.”

Friends and comrades made a crowdfunding page for my family.

It’s really hard to post this. I know that there are a lot of other important issues asking for money but things have gotten to the point where we need to open ourselves up to your support.

Thank you for your consideration.

Gaza. Dat er eindelijk een akkoord lijkt te zijn, zou niet moeten leiden tot misplaatste zelffelicitaties, maar tot een diepgevoelde verplichting om er álles aan te doen de genocide daadwerkelijk te stoppen. Scherp bewaken dat afspraken worden nagekomen, want Israël heeft vaker beloftes gebroken
