🧵 THREAD: The Matriarchal Manifesto You Didn’t Know You Needed

1.
In the beginning, there was no Word.
There was a whisper. A breath. A cycle.
From the womb of the cosmos came the Goddess.
And from her: Woman. Not as rib. As spine.

Dit is wat fascisten doen: wetenschappelijke instituten ontmantelen, want kennis en wetenschap vormen een bedreiging voor de ideologie van fascisten, of ze nu Trump, Poetin, Orbán, Wilders, of Van der Plas heten.

Lees dit artikel op de Volkskrant www.volkskrant.nl/wetenschap/t...
Trump dreigt klimaatinstituut van wereldbelang te ontmantelen, wetenschappers reageren geschokt
‘Een drama.’ ‘Enorm kortzichtig.’ Wetenschappers in binnen- en buitenland reageren met afschuw op de door de regering-Trump aangekondigde ontmanteling van een toonaangevend klimaatinstituut.

This is a watercolour painting of my cat Mia which I did on a postcard for a competition a few years ago. I didn't win! 😐

This was something I did for an art competition some years ago. They had a lot of entrants and they picked the best 100 to display at the art museum. Mine wasn't picked unfortunately.

James Talarico: The Bible doesn't mention abortion or gay marriage, but it goes on and on about forgiving debt, liberating the poor, and healing the sick. The closest thing we have to the kingdom of heaven is a multiracial, multicultural democracy where power is truly shared among all people

If refusing to comment is enough to kill a story, then the government now has veto power over journalism.
That’s what CBS normalized last night — and it should scare everyone.

CBS Pulled a “60 Minutes” Story Because the White House Refused to Comment — That’s a Veto on Journalism
Pulling a finished investigation because the administration refused to comment isn’t journalism. It’s submission.

Sad but true.
What Children are Learning from the current US President: Never apologize to anyone ever. Science is stupid. Anyone different is bad. Don't be nice. Nice is for losers. Cheating makes winners. America is the only country in the world. Women are less important than men. Be afraid of anyone not white. Facts and truth are not important. Low-paid people are idiots. Lying is fine, people just believe. It's ok if your father cheats on your mother. Never take responsiblity, blame others. You can hurt others badly if it benefits you.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Sterk artikel weer van huisarts Michelle van Tongerloo. #leestip

Helemaal omdat het aantal dakloze mensen toeneemt. En de Minister van wonen (Mona Keijzer) weigert naar Kamerdebatten over dakloosheid te komen.

Opinie | In ons rijke land bevriezen mensen op straat naast overvolle vuilnisbakken
Huisarts Michelle van Tongerloo ziet bij haar dakloze patiënten geregeld de gevolgen van het buiten slapen in de vrieskou. Gegarandeerde nachtopvang voor iedereen is een must.

Speaker Mike Johnson says his entire worldview comes from the Bible.

But he’s about to kick 2 million Texans off their healthcare right before Christmas.

If you aren’t loving your neighbor, then keep Jesus’ name out of your mouth.

“Er is meer dan vrouwenrechten,” aldus Bert-Jan Ruissen van de SGP wanneer ik hem confronteer met het feit dat vrouwen overlijden omdat artsen in Polen en de VS uit angst voor het abortusverbod geen noodzakelijke zorg verlenen.

Dit debat, anno 2025. Met een man. Het is nauwelijks te bevatten.

Maria Shriver, niece of JFK:

He was a man interested in the arts, culture, education, language, history... It is beyond comprehension that the president has sought to rename this great memorial.

C’mon my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny... It’s downright weird.

Fact checking Trump is a joke. Why not just report the true statements? Oh, nothing to talk about.
