As we mark 100 years of celebrating Black history, let’s honor the sacrifices of the leaders who came before us, and recommit ourselves to continuing their work.

Black History Month is a time to recognize the lived, shared experience of all Black folks who have fundamentally shaped, challenged, and ultimately strengthened America. It’s about taking an unvarnished look at the past so that we can create a better future.

Super! Een meerderheid in de Tweede Kamer steunt de motie van GroenLinks-PvdA en wil géén verbreding van de snelweg A27 bij Amelisweerd! Dat bespaart geld én natuur.

@timothysnyder.bsky.social

We have to see the logic of the killings as well as the killings themselves. The horror is a truth in itself. But it is also a sign of a political logic, one known from the totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century.

De liquidaties van Renée Good en Alex Pretti waren op beeld vast gelegd maar laten we niet vergeten dat ICE daarvoor al dit jaar 7 andere mensen vermoord heeft.

De prijs voor een warmtepomp voor sociale huurhuizen kan fors naar beneden

De kosten van warmtepompen in sociale huurwoningen moeten binnen een paar jaar zijn gehalveerd. Fabrikanten en installateurs hebben daar met de corporaties en het Rijk een plan voor gemaakt.

Regering Trump chanteert Minnesota: geef ons al je gegevens over al je kiezers in de staat en we trekken ICE terug.

Marc Elias @marcelias.bsky.social · 8d

If you want proof that Trump is going to try to rig the elections, here it is:

In a letter to Gov. Tim Walz Saturday, Bondi claimed that Walz could “restore the rule of law” by complying with a list of demands, including giving the Department of Justice (DOJ) the state’s voter registration records.

A federal agent killed another American citizen yesterday. And just hours later, Attorney General Bondi used the violence, pain, and chaos that ICE is inflicting as a pretext to double down on their unlawful demands for the state’s voter rolls.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Hebben jullie NonUSA app al gedownload?

De app is al nummer 1 in diensten in NL, Denemarken en Canada.

Scan een product, check of het USA owned is en krijg alternatieven.

Erg handig in elke winkel!

Boycot de USA,
