to print fake news-long before “fake news” became a household phrase.

So when Americans beat the drums of war with Iran, or wonder aloud “why do they hate us?”, we have to reckon with the fact that the U.S. and U.K. destroyed Iran’s best chance at democracy for the sake of oil profits and imperial power.

It is fascism.
At a journalism event I asked about using the word so journalism can cover and explain it. I was told that we can't call fascists fascists because it would put off the fascists.
This is fascism. Those who refuse to identify it are not doing journalism.

In haar nieuwe boek ‘Alle Journalistiek is Activisme‘ rekent Fréderike Geerdink af met de mythe van de objectieve journalist en pleit ze voor keiharde stellingname in de journalistiek.

700 Marines are being sent to LA to try and stop those who are fighting to protect their immigrant friends and neighbours.

Two journalists have already been shot with “less lethal” ammunition, one of whom required emergency surgery.

They’re shooting at the press.

They seem to want this situation to escalate and they want to silence the brave reporters trying to do their jobs.

Don’t let them. Keep speaking out. Amplify posts from those who are on the ground sharing what’s happening .

Speak up against atrocities. Don’t look away.

The Story of Ethio Jazz

amf.didiermary.fr/story-ethio-

Vibraphone and keyboard player, master arranger and bandleader, Mulatu Astatke is one of the all-time greats of Ethiopian music and the creator of his own original music form, Ethio jazz. Through the acclaimed Ethiopiques album series and through featuring on the soundtrack to the Jim Jarmusch film Broken Flowers, his music has belatedly reached […]

Wil je naar de staking tegen onderwijsbezuinigingen, staken de treinen. Gelukkig heeft de vakbond bussen geregeld. (Leve de vakbond!)

De extreemrechtse Peter Thiel wordt de nieuwe Musk die DOGE gaat leiden.

Leuk feitje om te weten:
Je hebt misschien gehoord dat de EU een alternatief voor oa google ontwikkelt, wat Gaia-X heet. De bedoeling is dat die data infrastructuur ons in Europa onafhankelijker maakt van de VS en Big Tech.

Maar nou mag jij raden wie de EU heeft ingehuurd om Gaia-X te bouwen.

Juist, Palantir, het meest extremistisch rechtse surveillance-kapitalistische bedrijf van alle Amerikaanse Tech Bro's bij elkaar.

Eigenaar Peter Thiel (die ook de baas van Paypal is) is nog erger dan Musk, en is tot nu toe een miljardair die vooral achter de schermen werkt. Zijn invloed op de ideologie van Musk en Trump is sowieso al heel lang erg groot.

Palantir heeft meer grote projecten in Europa lopen: eerder kregen ze al de beschikking over álle Britse medische data van het NHS - dat wil zeggen alle medische data van alle Britse burgers.

De (vaak agressieve) naïviteit in de EU, bij zowel politici, burgers als media, is grenzeloos.

Ondertussen geen woord over de fossiele subsidies waar de Nederlandse regering voor kiest om die uit de schatkist te betalen. De aanleg van windinfrastructuur kost de komende jaren een kleine 6 miljard per jaar. De fossiele industrie krijgt ca. 37 miljard per jaar. Dat is een keuze, geen natuurwet.

Heading:  Hard-hitting notice in my Doctor's surgery - "Do you say sorry?"

Below which a photograph of a notice in a doctor's surgery that reads:

Not vaccinating your kids leaves them vulnerable to disease their whole lives.

When your daughter gets rubella when pregnant, how are you going to explain that you chose to leave her at risk?

What will you say when she calls you and tells you she has cervical cancer, because you decided that she wouldn’t need the HPV vaccine?

What do you tell your son when he breaks the news to you that he cannot have kids, thanks to the mumps that he got as a teenager

And what do You say when he gives influenza to his grandma? How do you explain that she won't be coming home from hospital? Not ever.

Do you tell them that you didn't think these diseases were that serious? That you thought your organic, home cooked food was enough to protect them?

Do you say sorry?

Mensen hebben jullie zin in een lang en nerdy draadje? Ik hoop het voor jullie want jullie krijgen een lang en nerdy draadje. Over hoe ik mijn studie betaalde door avonden lang in Amsterdam mijn lichaam ondergeschikt te maken aan wildvreemde mannen (en heel soms een vrouw) voor best wel veel geld.

Ik heb het natuurlijk over mijn tijd als professioneel orgel-assistent, voor kenners “registrant”.

The image shows a screenshot of a Twitter post by Eric Jorgenson ([@]EricJorgenson). The post reads: "Capitalism needs a logo. It's a huge miss that Communism has the Hammer & Sickle (which actually goes hard) and Capitalism has nothing. Let's do better branding for Capitalism!" The post has garnered 3.2 million views, 1.7K comments, 759 retweets, 6.8K likes, and 491 bookmarks. Below the original tweet, there is a reply from user MATSCHARELLI ([@]matscharelli) with a logo featuring a stylized dollar sign within a circle on a yellow background. The logo is a play on the Nazi swastika, symbolizing a critique of the original tweet's suggestion.

Steeds meer kinderen zitten thuis zonder onderwijs. Intussen schrijft de staatssecretaris dat er ‘stevige vooruitgang wordt geboekt’.😳

Mijn 5 minuten morgen gaan over loze woorden en gebroken beloften.

Met grote schade aan kinderen, ouders én onderwijspersoneel.

'Het Volk' heeft gesproken en er is wel degelijk een rode lijn.

Onze regering heeft (kinder)bloed aan hun handen.

How'd you like them apples? | Windscreen reflections | Black bird light bird | She moves in shadows

Colour portrait-format image showing the reflection of a man wearing a baseball cap and with his hands in his pockets walking past a window display of giant red apples at a grocery storeThe brightly-lit reflection of a city centre building is caught in the bonnets and windows of two cars and a van in a shady side streetTwo pigeons, the one in front in dark shadow and the one behind brightly lit, as they walk past a brick wall on which the leaves of nearby trees are casting lovely shadows that dance gently in the breezeA young woman with long hair is in dark shadows as her reflection is cast onto a plate-glass window which is reflecting the green barriers with yellow and white emblems surrounding redevelopment work in the iconic George Square, Glasgow

Schengen ahoi! Der Bayerische Verwaltungsgerichtshof (BayVGH) hat entschieden, dass die Verlängerung von Grenzkontrollen an der deutsch-österreichischen Grenze im Juni 2022 rechtswidrig war. Der Kläger, Völkerrechtler Stefan Salomon, wurde damals im Zug kontrolliert und klagte erfolgreich gegen die Maßnahme. Das Gericht stellte fest, dass für die Verlängerung der Kontrollen keine neue ernsthafte Bedrohung vorlag, wie es der Schengener Grenzkodex verlangt. Die Entscheidung ist rechtskräftig, da keine Rechtsmittel eingelegt wurden.   
• Gericht: BayVGH, Urteil vom 18.03.2025, Az. 10 BV 23.700
• Kläger: Stefan Salomon, Juniorprofessor für Europarecht
• Begründung: Keine neue ernsthafte Bedrohung für Verlängerung der Kontrollen
• Rechtsgrundlage: Art. 25 Abs. 4 des Schengener Grenzkodex
