Het rampkabinet dat massamoordenaars steunt. Staat vast goed op je CV mensen. De VVD hobbelt achter de feiten aan - er IS al een kopgroep in Europa die de leiding neemt tegen Israël en NL hoort daar niet bij! Schandalig gewoon! Zelfs DE is bijgedraait. Kudos aan Veldkamp www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/...

This Yondr pouches debacle is approaching epic proportions. 9mln to buy *phone pouches* rather than investing in SNAs, school counsellors, speech therapists, books, learning aids, extracurriculars, or the AIM programme - you know, things that actually help kids. 😱🙈

After the second world war everyone said "no more". Germans who said "we didn't know" were scorned for decades. Those guilty of the genocide were put on trial. Fast-forward to 2025 and we are WATCHING a full-scale genocide in action and the EU is hesitant to even impose sanctions...💔 @ec.europa.eu

The Irish Great Famine; “Gorta Mór” (Great hunger); “Drochshaol” (the bad times) is a defining disaster in Irish history. It’s the before and after of our understanding of our country. Generally accepted estimate is 1 million died, and millions fled, and the Irish population fell for generations 1/
