Our count of party mentions in Dutch-language Pravda articles (303 in total) shows Forum for Democracy as the absolute frontrunner with 119 articles (39.3% of the total).

Dutch editorial cartoonist Maarten Wolterink urges Americans to read between the lines of the suspiciously redacted Epstein files, which were released Friday by Trump’s Department of Justice.

The White House has been caught.

The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

VRIJE VAL FEYENOORD 🚨

Van Persie en Te Kloese zitten in zwaar weer; Feyenoord verloor ook van Ajax (2-0). Met de week wordt het spel slechter, een blessurelijst waar geen einde aan komt, miljoenen niet doelmatig ingezet en ook nog een beschamende Europese campagne. #Crisis

Ik maar denken dat die christelijke ballen wel een beetje sociaal zijn... Duidelijk niet dus, gaat veel te veel naar rechts nu!

Volgens @frankx.bsky.social hangt het antwoord op de vraag of JA21 straks wel of niet meedoet in een kabinet Jetten, mede af van hoe het CDA van Bontenbal daarin staat.
Dat mag zo zijn, voor mij is het een no go dat het anti-democratische JA21 straks meedoet. D66 heeft met de VVD al genoeg geslikt.

Don has been sounding the alarm about Schedule F, and was the first person I read warning about Project 2025.

We're heading toward the nightmare stage of this pretty fast, with the goal and hope of making the federal government operate like the veritable one-party rule of, say, Mississippi.
New, from me: by embracing unitary executive theory, the Supreme Court is moving towards making all public employees fireable at the will of the President.

This will not just hurt government competence, it will aid democratic backsliding. 🧵

At will? Whose will?
Removing independent agency heads is part of a broader assault on a nonpartisan government

Quite something to see the whole of the US watching as a single crime family betrays their national interest and robs them blind.

Those in power recognised that oppression is best maintained by keeping the masses illiterate, and those oppressed recognised that literacy is liberation.

Never forget that the airlines were instrumental in reducing the Covid isolation requirements and paid time off.

Why? It was hurting their profits.

They were about to lose money again due to the shutdown… so the Dems caved.

Medicaid & ACA will be gone to keep airlines happy.

Profit over people.

Very scary
JD Vance has always been the tech oligarchs’ plan for a long-term dictatorship. Trump is just the vessel to get their guy in place.
JD Vance has always been the long-term plan for right-wing tech billionaires to cement a dictatorship in America.

“Vance has been anointed by Thiel and the rest of the anti-democracy movement as the post-Trump president, tasked with replacing the US establishment with an authoritarian regime.”

De kwestie van één-lid-partijen raakt direct aan de kern van transparantie en democratische legitimiteit.
Er zijn voorstellen om dit aan te pakken, zoals het verplicht stellen van minimaal drie leden en interne democratische organisatie als voorwaarde voor deelname aan verkiezingen.

De eindstand is dat het meest extreemrechtse kabinet sinds WOII niets voor elkaar heeft gekregen, behalve miljarden belastinggeld laten verdampen, het land onbestuurbaar gemaakt, racisme genormaliseerd en alle crises verder verdiept. En toch blijft het zetelaantal voor extreemrechts nagenoeg gelijk.

Als D66 over rechts gaat regeren met VVD en Ja21 maakt die partij dezelfde fout als Pieter Omtzigt die dacht Wilders in toom te kunnen houden.
