@DVanLangenhove They will use these laws only against you and yours. Legal consistency is over.

A very sad announcement. I have just been convicted a second time for 'hate speech' and it is only due to a technicality that I could not immediately be sent to jail —to the judge's frustration. In an ironic turn of events it's actually thanks to my previous prison sentence (for memes in a private group chat) that I am now still free —in a physical sense, at least. Call me naive but I didn't think they would take it this far, given that this precedent criminalises many of the arguments used by even the most moderate politicians critical of mass migration. In February 2024 I gave a lecture at Catholic University Leuven wherein I linked mass migration to crime and a deterioration of our quality of life. Every single point I made was 100% the truth and based on scientific evidence. Cynically, even the judge that convicted me admits as much by writing in his verdict: “Even if all of the statements made by Van Langenhove are based on scientific evidence and statistics, it makes no difference to the criminal intent. Van Langenhove is not charged with spreading false information. He is charged with presenting facts in a way that incites hatred against persons on the grounds of one or more of the protected criteria in the Anti-Racism Law.” That's a lot of words just to say he wants to send me to prison for speaking the truth. Even the regime media write: "It did not matter to the court that Van Langenhove was quoting scientific sources. The judge argued that Van Langenhove's main message was that a big part of the societal problems like insecurity, housing shortages and lowering educational standards are due to mass migration." You may think the regime media are being sympathetic to me in the first sentence, but in reality they are warning people: even if you speak the truth, if you go against our narrative, we will crush you in every way possible. Both the public prosecutor and the judge did not present a single real argument as to how or against whom I would have incited hatred. So even if I would accept their crazy, dystopic law, I still did not break it. The only argument they present is that I created a "hostile atmosphere of us versus them” in regards to migrants. But even this silly argument (which is not even a punishable offence) is not true. To me, the deadly disease is self-hatred and one of its worst symptoms is replacement migration. My enemy is thus NOT the migrants themselves but those orchestrating the mass migration. Sadly, in Belgium, evidence is not needed and ‘vibes’ are enough to put someone in jail. Given the fact that I have another court case coming up in September and that I have a dozen active criminal investigations for hate speech, time is running out for me. I have already paid more than €420,000 in legal fees and there is no ending in sight. I have been in an intense battle of attrition for eight years and must now regroup to make sure I can still win. If you want to help me, you can do so via the links below. If you can help in other ways, please contact me via DM. If you live in a country that still has free speech, never let them touch it, however noble they make the motives sound, because this is where it leads to.

@FowlesMurphy @visegrad24 3. Offer 10,000 euros per head.

@visegrad24 1. Cut off all government assistance to Syrians in Germany. Zero welfare. 2. Block all remittances from Syrians in Germany to Syria. 3. Offer 10,000 euros for Syrians who leave. Problem solved.

🇸🇾🇩🇪 Syria has rejected Germany’s plan to return over 700,000 Syrian refugees to their home country. "We categorically reject any attempts at forced deportation,” said Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani. He added that Syrians in Germany are a “strategic resource” rather than a burden.

@visegrad24 Germany should send them to Libya, then.

@BrennanCenter Your political advocacy has convinced me to begin ignoring your higher education work. I now find your research to be lacking in transparency.

To cast doubt on election results, the Trump administration and its supporters are misconstruing declassified intelligence reports about vulnerabilities in state voter registration databases. But there’s no evidence that the systems were corrupted. bit.ly/4tjHbIM

@shipwreckedcrew Let’s get ready to burn down some buildings.

This has always been the strategy -- prior mayors simply refused to carry out the last step. Rent control means insufficient revenue for landlords to properly maintain the building. Decline in condition of the building due to deferred maintenance leads to city pursuit of condemnation -- even though it is the city policy that starves the landlord of the needed funds. Condemnation is followed by city-financed renovation, and lease to NGO to operate as city-owned housing. All without a "takings" under eminent domain.

@RahmEmanuel Fuck your schools. They have failed us all for a half century. We are not interested.

There are three doors a child walks through that will determine their future: the front door of the home, the front door of the school, and the front door of the place of worship. If those three doors are not aligned, it impacts a child’s education and future. Today, 50% of our kids cannot read at grade level. Republicans have abandoned public education, Democrats have abandoned standards and accountability, and our kids are the ones paying the ultimate price.

Josh Hawley gaveled in Goon Thune’s proforma recess session today to stop Trump’s recess appointments Just another RINO whose words mean nothing Missouri you needs new senator We don’t need incumbents like this

@amyklobuchar Fucking traitorous cunt.

Voting is a right, not a privilege. The SAVE Act won’t save anything. It will strip Americans of their right to vote. We have to fight back to protect our democracy.

@breccastoll Dumbass doesn’t know the law

NOW: Mamdani says his admin will transfer ownership from bad landlords to non-profits. “For buildings that have suffered chronic neglect, we will work to transfer ownership to responsible stewards. Stewards that include community land trusts, non-profits, or even the tenants themselves.”

@ChrisVanHollen You hate Americans. Fuck off.

This is a direct attack on our legal immigration system: making it more unworkable, punishing families, workers, and businesses.   It’s also unlawful. We must and will fight back. time.com/article/2026/0…

@Rep_Grijalva Go home, foreigner

This is outrageous. Trump wants people already living, working, studying, and raising families here to leave the country and gamble everything on a visa interview overseas? Imagine telling a mom, a student, or the spouse of a U.S. citizen to pack up, leave the country, and just hope they’re allowed back in someday. How many families will be separated? How many people will lose jobs or homes while stuck waiting overseas? nytimes.com/2026/05/22/us/…

@shagbark_hick @clay_space I think in some such states it is still going to be a few decades before they get to writing a restrictive state building code. The real important regs are therefore at the county level, and you can still find lots of free and conservative counties.

@clay_space Not shocking to hear. I suspect ID and MT will be fully liberal within the next 10-15 years unless something dramatic changes. The last "real holdouts" of a more conservative thing are going to be states like OK and ND, which have harsh climates and lack scenery liberals like.

It's hard to parse what the long-range state of domestic migration is going to look like in the USA. It does seem that there's a pattern: I. Dem policies ruin blue states II. People leave blue states for red states III. The newcomers vote for Dem policies in red states IV. The red states now suffer from the same problems as the blue states (but often worse, as the onset is rapid) V. As a result of all this, there are fewer and fewer "havens" where one can find a low-tax, low-reg, low-cost way of life. Does this just keep happening until every state in the Union becomes a post-Dem apocalyptic husk? Or at some point, are conservative-leaning Americans actually going to exhibit some agency, make a conquest, do anything but play on the eternal rearguard? It may really be that the combination of Democrats' expansionist, high-openness traits, the destructive quality of their policies, and the absolute "retreat-mode" weakness of American conservatives will basically seal this country's fate as a "universal California" in just a generation or so. Might be that if you don't like that, you'd be better off leaving the country. It's either that or learn to love the high-tax, high-reg, rainbow-flag-waving future of the USA.

@shagbark_hick Currently looking for a new haven myself (western New York now). I am seeing low-reg low-tax typically 2-3 hours from major cities at $1-3K per acre with power/no water. No restrictions on trailers/tinyhome/farming, etc, but very hard conditions.

@MayorFrey The OD dude who died of fentanyl?

Today, we remember George Floyd, who was murdered by a former Minneapolis police officer six years ago.   That moment changed our city forever.

@operationdanish The center has brought us here.

America is losing its way when it compares illegal immigrants to legal ones. We can simultaneously believe that we need to control our borders while believing that we need to recruit the best people from the world to keep up with our adversaries. The best answers are always found in the center.

@SenBooker This is who you are defending…

@SenBooker Bring your checkbook

Immigrants at Delaney Hall are on a hunger strike because they are fighting for their human rights. The conditions there are deplorable. We’re working with our partners in the state to bring an end to this nightmare and I’ll be going to Delaney Hall again to conduct oversight. Enough is enough - not in New Jersey, not anywhere.

@balajis The population is not an indicator of what you are talking about. Western civilization was not restored in 1800. Instead, this period is marked by historicism and relativism, hardly the west’s best creations.

Western civilization has collapsed before. But a few scholars preserved the ideas that once made Rome great. They made a backup, and it did eventually come all the way back. It just took one thousand years.

@AshRust Go home.

My green card application took ~18 months and I worked in the Bay Area the entire time. This would have sent me back to the UK before I was able to start a company or a fund. It's really damaging.
