America now has 935 billionaires with $8.1 trillion in collective wealth — a 20% increase from 2024.
Meanwhile, the bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth.
When 935 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Trump zou Machado (de oppositieleider) niet steunen omdat zij de Nobelprijs niet aan hem wilde geven. Wat een verhaal zeg.

Okee, maar waar streef je dan naar? Wat is het criterium?
Waarom 1000, en niet 853, of 1207?

Hoe is dat aantal van 1000 tot stand gekomen? Heb je geanalyseerd wat die 15 duizend ambtenaren doen en hoe hun werk meer gestroomlijnd zou kunnen worden?
Of leek ‘1000’ je wel een mooi rond getal?

“ASML wil volgend jaar gaan bouwen in het gebied. Op het verontreinigde perceel komen geen kantoren of cleanrooms maar de strook grond is wel in beeld voor verbreding van de snelweg of aanleg van een nieuwe busbaan, de Brainportlijn tussen station Best en het ASML-hoofdkwartier in Veldhoven.”

Israelis are moving abroad in record numbers due to fear and discontent
Tens of thousands of Israelis have left over the past two years, and many are young and well-educated, raising concerns over economic and social consequences.
Tens of thousands of Israelis have left the country over the past two years, amid tumultuous protests against the policies of the right-wing government and even before the Hamas attack and subsequent Israeli offensive in Gaza.

The Trump regime's ICE forces attacked a couple and smashed their window to abduct 29-year-old Juan Francisco Méndez, who hadn't committed a crime, while he waited for his lawyer. Regime forces can be seen attacking the civilians with a sledge hammer. #3E

The possibility of abduction by a sovereign and imprisonment abroad is one criterion that separates democracies from dictatorships.
The Declaration of Independence called the British king tyrannical for transporting Americans, “beyond Seas to be tried for pretended Offenses.”

“Mains sales, tête basse” (Vuile handen, schaam je)
Deze slogan werd door het Front National zelf gebruikt tijdens de verkiezingen van 1993 om politieke tegenstanders te bekritiseren vanwege corruptie.

1/ The principle of Trump's Razor is that all else being equal, the stupidest possible explanation is the most likely. This map provides the stupidest possible explanation for why Trump wants Greenland - it looks so much bigger than the US on a Mercator projection map.

Thirty years ago, the United States persuaded Ukraine that it does not need nuclear weapons and gave Ukraine "security assurances." Today, the United States is persuading Ukraine that it needs to give up territories, forget about NATO membership, and lower the conscription age.

America is heading for a recession
The Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow model estimates U.S. real GDP growth for Q1 at -2.8%, down from +3.9% just four weeks ago.
Great job, MAGA.

A bar graph showing Twitter revenue across time, including a peak in 2022 and a steep drop starting in 2023
Since Musk bought Twitter, the site has lost 20% in revenue, 20% of users, and faces constant criticism and legal action for platforming hate speech and misinformation. This is the guy now running the federal government.
