In Amsterdam staat Museumplein vol voor derde Rode Lijn-protest

De demonstranten eisen actie van de regering tegen Israël. Amsterdam is volgestroomd met mensen in rode kleding en met rode paraplu's.

kay so, rioting fascists attacking political party buildings and trying to storm the binnenhof complex isn't political? My bad, how naive of me to jump to such a conclusion

Anti-immigration demonstration in the Netherlands escalates. This is exactly what happens when far-right ideas are tolerated and normalised over an extended period of time. The far right gains confidence and grows, both at the ballot box and in the streets.

Anti-immigratie-demonstratie Den Haag escaleert, confrontatie met politie

De actievoerders steken vuurwerk af en zwaaien met Nederlandse vlaggen maar ook met prinsenvlaggen.

Did some of the politicians that voted on the "anti-fascists are terrorists" motion ended up speaking at the fascist riot in the Hague today in the end?

The far-right majority in the Dutch parliament (BBB-FvD-JA21-PVV-SGP-VVD) has just designated “Antifa” a terrorist organization.

This is a dark day for Dutch democracy and the final nail in the coffin of the VVD as a serious liberal democratic party.

Asking Baudet about this really really REALLY annoys me. Diversity of views? I'm sorry but when you set up a hotline to intimidate scholars by encouraging students to video them and report them for being left-wing, you should not be being treated as an 'expert' to quote on this matter.

Below more information on the research note on how citizens view their political opponents, I have had a pleasure to work on with brilliant colleagues @eelcoharteveld.bsky.social @markuswagner.bsky.social and @jnareal.bsky.social.

Eelco Harteveld @eelcoharteveld.bsky.social · 28d

What do citizens imagine their political opponents to be like? Polarization is real, but it also lives in our heads, fueled by stereotypes. We asked people in 🇧🇷, 🇬🇧, 🇩🇪 & 🇵🇱 to describe opponents in their own words.

One time driving through DE with friends and wondering where to take a break, I checked it and we ended up visiting this church in a small village which had mummified bodies wearing a lot of gold jewellery on display around the seating area. Certainly bizarre but also interesting to see

In Cambridge they all seem to be quite nerdy suggestions haha! It's a great site though for finding unusual things to see and do around the place though. If you're driving somewhere you can also open a map based on your location to see what's around which is cool!
