While coalition talks are in full swing, higher education is already putting pressure on the government to be. During a strike, lecturers and students are demanding that parties involved in forming the coalition – with D66 leading – scrap the budget cuts. www.folia.nl/en/actueel/1...

Stop de sloop! Vanmiddag stond ik met duizenden op de Dam om te protesteren tegen de desastreuze onderwijsbezuinigingen, nota bene doorgezet door een demissionair, ultraminoritair rompkabinet.

Lees hierover ook dit opinieartikel in NRC van afgelopen donderdag 4 december: lnkd.in/ety2QdZe

Mijn bord mag voor de 5e keer mee vandaag, nu weer naar de Dam. Het stond al in de @mareonline.nl en in de @nrc.nl maar @henri.cda.nl hoorde ons niet. @robjetten.bsky.social wel neem ik toch aan als echte onderwijsman?

Draai die vernietigende bezuinigingen terug!

Volgens de politie trok de demonstratie op de Dam tegen de bezuinigingen in het hoger onderwijs zo'n 7500 mensen. Heel geslaagd dus. Enig minpunt (of ligt dit aan mij?) is dat ik onze bestuurders iig niet heb gezien. (En dit is toch echt meer jullie werk dan het onze hè?) #WOinActie

Vandaag demonstratie op de Dam tegen de bezuinigingen hoger onderwijs. Ook op basis en voortgezet onderwijs en voorscholen wordt fors bezuinigd. Zo slopen we onze toekomst. Deze oliedomme bezuinigingen moeten zo snel mogelijk van tafel.

Dutch diplomats break silence: “The Netherlands keeps sinking to new moral lows on Gaza.” Senior envoy in Ramallah denounces government inaction as complicity. “History will not be kind to the passive.” #Gaza #Netherlands #WarCrimes

Zeldzaam protest uit diplomatieke kring tegen Nederlands Israël-beleid
Diplomaten uiten zelden kritiek op regeringsbeleid. Toch spreken ervaren Nederlandse gezanten zich nu publiekelijk uit over het uitblijven van actiestappen tegen Israël.

Today we lost Pınar Kür, a profound and courageous voice of Turkish literature. She was a pioneering writer renowned for her gripping narratives that consistently foregrounded women’s agency and struggles. She was a fearless critic of women’s subordination and an examiner of patriarchy +

I've been a huge fan of @turkeyrecap.bsky.social from the outset. It's an outstanding independent news source on Turkey.

So it was an extra bonus to be able to chat about a bunch of my projects. And to be able to connect my work on media to many of the (rapidly!) unfolding political developments.
Author and scholar @liselhintz.bsky.social joined @diegocupolo.bsky.social on Recap radio to discuss the Turkish media landscape.

They also covered the PKK peace process, judicial pressure on the CHP and the AKP’s grand strategy for the ‘New Turkey’. www.turkeyrecap.com/p/media-and-...

I gotta say, as a Jew, it’s incredibly fucked up and sad that Elon Musk and Grok being Nazi sympathizers hasn’t caused a mass exodus (or coordinated boycott) from X.

I don’t like to shame people for what is clearly a failure of collective action, but honestly, what the fuck?
