In the dramatic circumstances of war, information must guard against the risk of turning into propaganda. It is every journalist's duty to verify the news, so as not to become a megaphone for power. They must show the suffering that war always brings to populations, which entails showing the face of war and recounting it through the eyes of victims.

Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, open sea lanes, a stable financial system, collective security ... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition ... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

bro het is niet erg als je de aandachtsspanne niet hebt voor een inhoudelijk verhaal langer dan drie soundbites maar maak dat niet ons probleem

Henri Bontenbal maakte bij #deoranjezomer de klassieke denkfout: als ik maar blijf praten, ben ik aan het overtuigen. Het was wollig, langdradig en bij vlagen esoterisch. Politiek is uiteindelijk ja of nee stemmen. De kiezer heeft recht op een concreet verhaal.

📣 Some news about me: Yesterday (Wednesday) I was detained by police in Istanbul, held for 17 hours and then deported from Turkey to the UK. Told I was “a threat to public order”. In the country I lived in - and love. Journalism is not a crime. Here’s the BBC’s statement:

Even een draadje over de Lentekriebels, want het conservatieve smaldeel van Nederland is alweer druk bezig met bashen en demoniseren. En dat is gevaarlijk, want kennis en weerbaarheid zijn essentieel #Lentekriebels

It’s even worse than I thought, they texted a deceitful and highly discredited journalist with top secret war plans.

“Canada isn’t a real country” “Ukraine isn’t a real country” Remember, these false narratives are being pushed by the very same people that told us over and over again that the sovereignty of nations was more important than anything else in the world.

Witkoff, the main negotiator of the ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia, decided to have a chat with pro-Russia shill Tucker Carlson. This is embarrassing on so many levels - let's break them down: - Witkoff can't even remember the names of the Ukrainian oblasts (Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, and Crimea) that Putin wants. - He then uses the Russian name (Lugansk) for one of them. - He cites a sham vote organized by the FSB as "evidence" that people in these regions want to join Russia. - Witkoff also fails to mention that Russia doesn't even have full de facto control of these regions. It's deeply concerning that someone who is supposed to be a neutral negotiator between two warring countries is siding with the aggressor and spreading their propaganda.

The EU wasn’t formed to screw anyone. Quite the opposite. It was formed to maintain peace, to build respect among our nations, to create free and fair trade, and to strengthen our transatlantic friendship. As simple as that. 🇪🇺🇺🇸
