Na 38 jaar CNV nu met “pensioen”. Vriendin, moeder, oma, dochter, zus. Maakt zich zorgen over toekomst gehandicapte zoon. Liep 15 en een kwart keer de 4daagse. Fan van Vitesse. Optimist. Wil betere wereld voor iedereen maar vooral voor kleinkinderen.

Een van de grootste misvattingen rondom extreemrechts is dat het ze vooral om de ‘ophef’ te doen is. Nee, wanneer ON nazisme propageert of wanneer Geert Wilders of Mona Keijzer stellen dat er geschoten moet worden op Marokkaanse relschoppers dan ménen ze het, dan willen ze de geesten rijp maken.

Als je in Nederland iets tegen Hitler hebt, ben je volgens de Tweede Kamer lid van een terroristische organisatie. Daar moet meteen tegen worden opgetreden. Als je in Nederland openlijk je steun uitspreekt voor Hitler, wil de minister niets doen. Daar kan niet tegen worden opgetreden.

106 years ago, on the 26th of August 1920, the 19th amendment to the U.S. constitution was certified, giving women the right to vote. Discrimination in voting rights based on race was still legal. Lucy Burns and Alice Paul were among those who had pushed the amendment forward. #otd #history 🗃️

Far-right Israeli minister Itamar Ben-Gvir celebrated after Israeli forces raided a UN-operated facility in occupied East Jerusalem, expelling UNRWA employees and hoisting an Israeli flag in the courtyard. The UN agency and experts say it’s a direct breach of international law.

Decades before Dolly Parton helped fund research supporting Moderna's Covid-19 mRNA vaccine, she raised money for people with HIV and AIDS and joined the 90s "Break the Silence" campaign promoting AIDS awareness, sex education & condom use - at a time when doing so in country music took courage.

VVD-Kamerlid Wendy van Eijk zei net in de Kamer dat ze bij het afschaffen van een extreem effectieve klimaatmaatregel zich ‘terdege realiseerde’ wat de gevolgen zouden zijn. ‘Dat was een bewuste keuze van onze fractie omdat er keuzes moeten worden gemaakt op het moment dat de middelen schaars zijn.’

Vergeet de CO2-heffing: de echte schade aan het klimaatbeleid veroorzaakten de BBB en VVD door in alle stilte een belastingvoordeel voor groen beleggen af te schaffen. Dat scheelt maar liefst 575.000 ton CO2 per jaar! En vrijwel de hele Kamer stemde voor... www.ftm.nl/artikelen/co... @ftm.nl

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

my wife has a friend who sent Dolly Parton a painting she made & a letter explaining how much Dolly's music meant to her while she was transitioning. Dolly responded to it personally & paid for her top surgery. Sounds like an urban legend but it's real. I think we're going to more stories like this.

Dollyland employees, both part time and full time, receive 100% of tuition covered. Healthcare, medical, vision, retirement benefits, childcare. A saint that walked among us. Every other wealthy person should be ashamed of themselves if they don't live up to Dolly standards.

I started my PhD program with an eight week old at home, sole income being my doctoral stipend, in a history program, in Knoxville, TN. And every month we got a new book to read to my son, free, mailed to us, so my kid, my kids, grew up in rooms full of books even when I had no money. That's Dolly.

Dolly Parton was a wonderful singer-songwriter, actress, and Mensch, who has done more for reading in this country than most politicians combined. Her "Imagination Library" gifted more than 300 MILLION (!) books to children. ❤️
