Dutch security units dismayed by Israeli influence on national politics
So basically what happened that evening:
This all under the shadow of an ongoing likely ethnic cleansing / genocide in Palestine.
And now every newspaper from center-left to far-right in the Netherlands is pretending some horrible antisemitic violence took place akin to 40-45. While at the same time the Dutch government is talking about mass deportations of Muslims. And apparently they are also getting pushed by Israel to strip Dutch citizens of human rights by putting them on these horrible “terrorist” watch lists. Truly incredible.

A party is indeed the time and place where no jokes are made ever, no alcohol is involved, no cheesy flirting techniques occur, and everything is meant a 100% seriously always.

It was quite clear from the beginning that people don’t want this, but I’m afraid there is a certain constituency that didn’t care, still doesn’t care, and would really like to read all of your messages. So I’d say it’s optimistic to say the fight is over.

How German Police Do Police Brutality
Some protesters against the Stuttgart21 project would probably disagree, as well as German courts.
Not to mention all the excessive violence against the anti genocide protests.

Overfitting moment
Respect for turning an awful boomer meme into a reasonable programming meme with just two words.

To be America's enemy is dangerous, but to be its ally is fatal

Ukrainians were/are still fighting to defend themselves from an illegal invasion. But America sees and has always seen Ukraine as a proxy to weaken a geo-strategic rival. NATO was not realistically on the table as long as the conflict in the Donbas was ongoing (it would have immediately triggered art.5) to keep promising NATO instead of working on a more realistic path to peace has probably caused the death of 100000s of Ukrainians. And just as with many other imperial proxies in history, the proxy is left to deal with the fallout while the empire retreats to the metropol and prepares for the next conflict.

Macron says France could recognize Palestinian state in June
Interesting how France suddenly switched to a much more normal and acceptable stance on Palestine (including the statements in Egypt against a proposed ethnic cleansing), wonder what the catalyst was.
Also curious if Germany manages to keep their „saying Palestinians are humans equals antisemitism“ thing going, with even France moving closer to Spain, Ireland and Swedens standpoint. But I have little hope with Merz.

Dutch sailor 'displaying' the Belgian method (not an actual method) of disposing of sea mines, 1939/1940?
The Dutch and the French both have many Belgian jokes (all along the lines that Belgians are dumb), but the funny thing is that many of the jokes actually originate from Belgium itself. They are jokes by the Flemish and Walloons making fun of each other that are then generalized to Belgians as a whole by the Dutch and French.

TIL that on hearing about Kristallnacht, Kaiser Willhelm II said from his exile "For the first time, I am ashamed to be a German".

He is like a never-Trump republican, his problem isn’t with the policy (or the cruelty there of), but rather with the lack of decorum and breaking of norms.

At first I was at least impressed that it came up with such a hilarious idea, but then it of course turns out (just as with the pizza glue) it just stole it from somewhere else.

Unions who think Republicans are warming to labor rights are getting played
So long as unions have to support democrats, the democrats don’t have to give anything in return, making it useless to support them. So at least pretending that there is an alternative might push the democrats to be more labor friendly.

Yep
They are not the same, the republicans are the psychopath shooting up a classroom of kids, and the democrats are the Uvalde cops tasing those that try to stop it.

Queer Amsterdam wants to ban Israeli flags at Pride Walk, Halsema prohibits ban

Being gay or trans is not dependent on being out or not.
And focusing on the LGBTQ aspect of Israels current onslaught is relevant to the extent that Israel actively propagandizes “spreading” gay rights in Gaza, while at the same time murdering LGBTQ individuals indiscriminately. The fact that pink washing is a strategy used to justify genocide makes it that much more important to reject this during pride.

Trump-loving gays say their MAGA support is ruining their lives
Imagine being so racist that you’d rather loose all your connections to the community than at least pretend you’re not.

TIL in 1985 French government agents bombed and sank a Greenpeace ship docked in Auckland, New Zealand, killing a freelance photographer
Remember kids, always trust your government when they tell you who your enemy is. They’re never wrong.

Under the Third Geneva Convention a foreign POW has more fundamental rights than a US citizen in the USA

They used the term ‘nongovernmental combatant’ (aka terrorist), because a war can only be between states these combatants were not legally POW and thus had no right whatsoever.
