Trump just threatened to withhold federal disaster relief from North Carolina if the state votes Democratic in the midterms. Let me remind you again: no president in history has politicized and weaponized natural disasters the way Trump has.

Sterk beeld: De uitstoot van de eerste treinen in ons land hangt nog steeds in de lucht.

We’ve made Oxford Street traffic-free – and that’s just the start. Soon there’ll be green spaces for arts and music too | Sadiq Khan

I've always believed Oxford Street could be so much more than a road. Today we begin a new chapter as the nation’s high street goes traffic free, creating a place where people can spend time, enjoy the atmosphere and experience the very best of our city.

Eerst Hongarije, en nu Servië! 👏👍

Protest works. Organization is decisive. Draw your own conclusions. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

Vučić out! Serbian people showing how it is done. Corrupted autocrats can be ousted by democratic forces. Determination, stamina and courage carry the day!

Als de Democraten de midterms winnen, heeft Trump daarna nog steeds macht over het buitenlandbeleid. En hij is een slechte verliezer, dus dit kan hem nog verder destabiliseren waardoor hij nog gekkere dingen gaat doen.

The same US president who treats our friend Canada as an enemy is trying to give Alaska to Russia, a country whose absolutely overt foreign policy is to destroy us. This superpower suicide has to be stopped. www.ft.com/content/e9cf...

This is not a slip of the tongue, he has said it repeatedly. #Palantir has an openly misogynist agenda, as well as anti-democracy and pro-violence. Yet Palantir is allowed to run some of the most sensitive systems in the EU and NATO. Governments are very secretive about their contracts with Palantir

Precies... Verkeerde normen, leiden tot verkeerde resultaten. Wij willen dat boeren in ieder geval de keuze hebben, om hun emissies te laten meten per fosfaatrecht of per hectare. En als we die laatste keuze nou heel aantrekkelijk maken, dan verandert er wat! www.nieuweoogst.nl/nieuws/2026/...

Trump is selling Alaska back to russians? What happened needing Greenland for Arctic security?

Een terroristische aanslag in Parijs! Dan weet je dat Wilders en de rest van extreemrechts er bovenop zitten. Of nou ja, dit keer dan niet, omdat de schutter Kevin heette en zich richtte op mensen met een Arabisch uiterlijk, maar anders zaten ze er bovenop!!

Ik vrees dat dit waar is. En dat de wereld opnieuw gaat toekijken zonder een poot uit te steken. Wat een deprimerende tijd is dit.

Trump is CRASHING OUT over Obama on the campaign trail

Trump said he had to takeover Greenland to keep China and Russia out. And then he snuck Russia onto the North Slope. Literally just ... inviting them in. www.ft.com/content/e9cf...

“He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened up a Cheesecake Factory” — Obama

Bill Clinton: "I think Congress made a mistake not protesting turning the Rose Garden into what looks like the entrance to Liberace's bathroom"

See where I'm going with this?

Real time getuige van vernietiging. Dag in, dag uit. En niemand met macht doet wat moet. Verstikkend.

Er gaan minder zetels naar partijen die streven naar een rechtvaardiger inkomensverdeling, dan naar partijen die haat en racistische vooroordelen aanwakkeren. Dat zegt iets over de prioriteiten van de kiezers en de mate waarin uiterts rechts genormaliseerd is.

Transatlantic relations are rapidly changing, but one area escapes “de-risking” from the US: controversial data transfers and law enforcement arrangements. On the contrary: they are shifting into higher gear. Why is Europe quietly surrendering? My blog: sophieintveld.substack.com/p/the-quiet-...

Intens triest dat de longen van de aarde nog altijd niet op waarde worden geschat. Verbazend vind ik, dat Google illegaal 250.000 bomen kan kappen zonder dat men tijdig ingrijpt. Of ziet men het oogluikend toe, omdat er veel geld mee wordt verdiend?

I am beginning to think that “superpower suicide” understates the case.

Het oppervlaktewater van de oceaan op de evenaar voor de westkust van Peru en Ecuador (El Nino) wordt intussen warmer en warmer - boven de onmogelijk geachte 30C, een record uiteraard 😱 De angstaanjagende rit gaat door - in november of december wordt de piek in warmte bereikt

Vrees dat dit het begin is www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

A wild story: the CEO of a US energy company whose plans were discussed during the Witkoff-Kushner-Putin negotiations resigns. Why? He learned that his company's main investor is a sanctioned Russian company, not the UAE www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

This!

Don't fall for the bait and switch.

"Capital is interested in migrants without rights. When working class people, migrants with no legal protection, have no rights they're easy to exploit. They can't be part of unions, they can't protest. Easy to threaten and to coerce. Interest of capital to have people who have no rights." - Lea Ypi

Goeie reactie van biologische boer Jan Overesch op docu van Yvon Jaspers.

Jared Kushner’s Hacked Phone Revealed His Secret Negotiations—Including More Than $700 Million In Transfers

Salt marshes can survive extreme wave events with modest erosion but are likely to offer the best flood protection to coastlines that experience moderate storms, according to research in Nature. go.nature.com/4yDJ7yz 🌎🧪

Salt marshes protect coastlines by attenuating wind waves, but even though the marsh substrate remains stable during extreme storms, vegetation damage reduces wave attenuation. Nature can only do so much to protect us against an increasingly dangerous world created by climate change. 🌊🧪

Jared Kushner has been accused of holding two secret bank accounts in the Middle East that were exposed by Russian operatives who hacked his phone.

Kushner also failed to disclose himself as an agent of a foreign government, having been paid nearly $2 billion in total by foreign leaders. trib.al/JC1elLM

Hahahahahahahaha. These crybullies. After repeatedly calling for us to be annexed — The US government accuses Canada of interfering in their elections due to things like an anti-tariff billboard, targeting our retaliatory tariffs, and participating in roundtables on trade tensions.

Putin is no humanitarian

Even if every country delivers its climate pledges, the world is on track for around 2.6°C of warming by 2100, says the new UN Emissions Gap Report. PIK’s Johan Rockström warns the damage could be greater still: if the US steps back, others may follow. economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/interna...

Vernietigende en terechte reactie van #Halsema op de oproep van Caroline vd Plas dat Halsema moet opstappen. Ze verwijt vd Plas de wet niet te kennen. BBB is 'n partij van law and order maar roept haar op om in strijd met de wet te handelen. Halsema vindt dit ongekend van 'n kamerlid. #PauwendeWit
