Mag hopen dat de rechter hier gehakt van maakt.
'Gehakt' is het voltooid deelwoord van het werkwoord 'hakken'.
Absurd als iets dat gehakt is niet meer zo genoemd mag.

Ik vind het echt ontzettend jammer dat Kassa verdwijnt van TV. Zij hebben altijd veel aandacht besteed aan mensen met een beperking en de ontoegankelijkheid van de maatschappij.

De Kamer steunt ons verzoek om snel een debat te voeren met Wiersma over het verbod op vreselijke stroomstootwapens.

Wiersma probeert het verbod alweer te saboteren door op het laatste moment niet te tekenen. Dát laten we niet gebeuren!

Ze moet het verbod nú tekenen zodat het 1 januari ingaat.

PFAS exposure has been shown to decrease fertility; increase high blood pressure during pregnancy, increase the rate of prostate, kidney, and testicular cancers; increase cholesterol levels; disrupt hormones; reduce immune response; and cause developmental effects or delays in children. Fun times!
"The agency also announced plans to relax a rule requiring companies to report all products containing PFAS and has proposed weakening drinking water standards for the chemicals."
The EPA is starting to allow the use of pesticides containing PFAS on food. The move is part of an effort to roll back the regulation of PFAS — also known as "forever chemicals" because they don't break down easily in the environment.

Opstappen gebeurt weleens na een vertrouwensbreuk of privékwestie, maar niet vaak na een politiek besluit.

NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."

BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

New piece:

Trump’s Fury at BBC Gets Unnerving Results with Pro-MAGA Edit Stunner
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

“You can't make this shit up.”

“They've snipped out 10 seconds of what he was going to say, and left him absolutely seething.”

Why did the BBC make the “chilling” decision to edit out Rutger Bregman’s criticism of Donald Trump when it went to broadcast?

I’m beyond proud of Peter Ettedgui speaking out about Farage and the vile antisemitic abuse he endured. I first heard Peter’s story nearly 20 years ago when Farage was a virtual nobody. It’s not a hit job. Just the truth

We should abolish juries because

1. The don't give reasons

2. There is little evidence of their competence

3. We don't use them outside a narrow area of the criminal law, other jurisdictions don't use them and are perfectly just

Yes! A broad majority of the Parliament agrees: the EU must take more action against Orbán!

My report on the rule of law in Hungary was adopted with a majority of 415 votes, urging to take away Orbán's voting rights and to freeze EU funds.

We must stop his breakdown of democracy and human rights.

Do you have strong feelings on whether Community Notes can work/do work/don't work? If so, please do take part in helping the Oversight Board's work on how/whether they should be rolled out beyond the US
Meta is seeking the Oversight Board’s opinion as it expands the community notes program beyond the United States. The Board will give input on which countries to include and how to scale the rollout.

Nina Cresswell reported a sexual assault, but the police basically ignored her. She spoke out, and her attacker sued her for defamation. Three years later, with our support, she won.

Now she's taking action to stop the police failing women. Join us.👇

The 🇪🇺high court ruled today EU countries must recognise the same-sex marriages conducted by other member states in their own national law.

There are many questions about the ruling, which could mean that people living in Eastern EU simply need to have a ceremony in the West to be married at home.

[I apologise in advance]. Fifteen years of prime ministerial travel ruined me for the real world. Planes held for you if there was traffic on the M25. No safety rules. When I flew on a real plane after a couple of years, I caused an incident because I'd forgotten you can't stand up on landing.
The one time I got to travel on a Prime Ministerial plane, the thing that sticks in my mind is that it turns out to be entirely OK to stand around chatting over a glass of champagne *while taxying to the runway*, so long as you sit down for the actual take-off. Any safety announcement? Forget it.

Kassa is een informatief programma ten behoeve van consumentenbescherming. Zie daar waarom een levensvatbare NPO zo belangrijk is. Het zorgt ervoor dat burgers sterker staan tegen machtige partijen - publiek en privaat.

“Als we het internationale recht en onze democratie willen beschermen, moeten we Europese soevereiniteit creëren.

We moeten onze eigen betalingsdiensten, verzekeraars en online winkels hebben… zonder afhankelijk te zijn van Amerikaanse bedrijven.”
Si nous voulons protéger la justice internationale et notre démocratie, il faut donc construire une souveraineté européenne.

Il faut avoir nos propres services de paiements, d’assurance, de commerce en ligne… sans dépendre des entreprises américaines.
