One of my former research assistants was killed by ICE in Minneapolis today😢
Alex was the kindest, sweetest human and a ICU nurse with a bright future ahead of him
May his soul rest in peace and this senseless carnage stop💔

Obama: America has always had competing stories about who we are and what the nation stands for.
The first story says that even though we got rid of a king, there is still a caste system in America, a pecking order of who makes decisions That if somebody doesn't look like or think like you or practice religion the same way you do, they must be a threat to your way of life, and they need to be put in their place.
That is how Donald Trump thinks about America. Make America great again by putting the people in charge even if they don't know what the hell they are doing. But here is the thing. That story is not new. It is the oldest story in the book. It is not even uniquely American. For most of human history, that is the way society has worked. For somebody on top and somebody on bottom. There were lords and peasants. For a long time, that story of caste and privilege and concentrated power was the law of the land here in America. If you look like me, you were likely treated as property. If you were a woman, or a white man who did not own property, you could not vote.
But from the very start, there was another story, born of this nation's true revolutionary spirit, a story that says, we the people means what it says, that all of us are included, that we are not subjects, but citizens, defined not by race or religion or gender or sexual orientation, but by our commitment to a common creed and a willingness to accept not just privileges, but responsibilities that come with that citizenship.

Millions of Americans’ safe commutes, and tens of thousands of good construction jobs, depend on the Gateway project. It’s one of the largest and longest-awaited transportation projects in modern US history.
Now Trump is canceling it, apparently to spite Chuck Schumer, harming the US economy in the process. This is what happens when a leader’s top priority is not safety, not jobs, but revenge.

Trump: And we're cutting them permanently. We're cutting a $20 billion project that Schumer fought for 15 years to get, and I'm cutting the project. The project is going to be dead. It is pretty much dead right now

What's happening with Jimmy Kimmel is about politics and power.
Any corporation that thinks they can win by playing Trump's game will wind up regretting it, sooner or later, because he will never have enough.

Het is erop of eronder deze week, mensen. Ik vind dat de onderhandelaars vijf minuten politieke moed moeten tonen. Ze moeten over hun eigen schaduw durven te springen en het algemeen belang boven het partijbelang zetten!!!!!

Met mensen met een handicap experimenteer je niet. Voorbije jaren keer op keer op gehamerd.
Heel blij dat nieuwe minister @carogennez meteen geld voorziet om iedereen met een deelbudget voortaan het volledige budget te geven waar ze recht op hebben 🙏
