Absolutely gobsmacked looking at this #ironmantexas flat tire road support situation. What a full blown disaster is this?

Is this professional sports?

Euhm @demorgen.be.

Vooruit is wel niet origineel in deze ...

Already looking forward now to @politico.eu diving into the buddy-buddy relationship De Wever curated with Russia during his time as mayor in Antwerp.

Sanchez is correct in refusing to allow the US to use joint military bases to carry out their war crimes against the people of Iran. He demonstrates real spine here, and models leadership to the rest of Europe.

Good news: Scientists were wrong about how bad sea level rise is.

Bad news: It’s even worse than we thought.

Greens overtake Labour in sensational poll The Greens have polled higher than Labour in the latest poll by YouGov, which puts them only two points off Reform UK and five ahead of the governing party.

"The Greens are now the most popular party in all age categories under 50. Some 49% of 18-24 year olds would back the Greens, as well as 27% of 25 to 49-year-olds - the top choice." (Yougov-Poll)

After US strikes took out multiple layers of the Iranian regime ...

... I can't stop thinking about Hegseth's move last year of bringing the entire military brass together at one location.

🤯

Brilliant way to 'pay it forward'. 😅

#Antwerpen

'Pompeii' is Gaza ... 😓

And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love

Grey clouds roll over the hills bringing darkness from above

And if you close your eyes

Does it almost feel like you've been here before?

How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

#Bastille #freePalestine

The incoherent ramblings of tyrants have long echoed through the halls of the U.N., but this neverending brain dump of factless junk is unrivaled.

How anyone can giggle at this train wreck is beyond me.

Walk out, for crying out loud. We’re so utterly f’ed.

These are the times I miss Christopher Hitchens the most.

He'd cut through all the bs and noise that's being generated with I'll intent eloquently and without hesition.

Gay rights icon Harvey Milk’s legacy slighted by decision to rename Navy ship | CNN The Trump administration is set to take the almost unprecedented action of stripping Harvey Milk’s name from a Navy ship, a defense official told CNN.

Randomly thinking about this news from a couple months ago.

Kristi Noem komt naar de Antwerpse haven. De Wever en Van Doesburg ontvangen haar hoogstpersoonlijk.

Hopelijk zijn de ordediensten op de hoogte en krijgen de viervoeters van het korps een dagje vrij.

Deze passage in @demorgen.be zegt alles over de krampachtige wanhoop waarmee Eeckhout zijn cynisch narratief probeert te zetten.

Er zijn gvd bomen gekapt op 50 meter van Almaci's voordeur.

En Vanden Berghe is fractieleider in de Antwerpse gemeenteraad.

Gimme a f'ing break.

Justice Sotomayor Says Lawyers Must ‘Stand Up’ and ‘Fight This Fight’

Justice Sonia Sotomayor on Thursday night urged the legal profession to toughen up. "If you’re not used to fighting, and losing battles, then don’t become a lawyer," she said. Her remarks came against the backdrop of immense stress on lawyers from the Trump administration.

Olé! #habemus

Former Nazi camp in Belgium hosting 48-hour reading marathon for VE Day The former SS-run prison was used for torture and interrogation of political prisoners and members of the Belgian Resistance during the war.

Such an impressive tribute. Would be amazing if this initiative gained recognition in other countries as well. #heldenvanhetverzet

Trump Takes a Major Step Toward Seabed Mining in International Waters A new executive order pits the United States against the rest of the world over the question of who can exploit mineral resources in shared waters.

No exaggeration, deep sea mining could cause the massive collapse of the entire deep sea ecosystem and food chain.

This is an existential risk to every person on this planet.

Hundreds of scholars say U.S. is swiftly heading toward authoritarianism Most — but not all — political scientists are deeply troubled by the president's attempts to expand executive power, according to a national survey.

"A survey of more than 500 political scientists finds that the vast majority think the United States is moving swiftly from liberal democracy toward some form of authoritarianism." www.npr.org/2025/04/22/n...

Trein blijkt geen alternatief voor zeven maanden durende sluiting premetrotunnel: “Heropening station Linkeroever is op korte termijn niet mogelijk” Het treinstation op Linkeroever kan niet worden ingezet om een deel van de tramreizigers op hun bestemming te krijgen tijdens de werken aan de premetrotunnel tussen beide Scheldeoevers in Antwerpen in 2026. Volgens de NMBS is er geen capaciteit meer op deze spoorlijn.

Bezuinigen op NMBS en verwachten dat ze een nieuw station opendoen gaat niet samen.

Al tig keer waarschuwen we met Groen voor het verkeersinfarct dat er zit aan te komen in Antwerpen.

His weird relationship to the word 'Groceries' already told you Trump basically lost touch with normal society decades ago.

His description of the reaction to a economic meltdown as 'yippie' tells you when.

Early 70's ...

So Trump is basically forcing the world to chose between a stable autocratic economic super power or the unstable version of it a.k.a. the U.S.

Tough call, Mr. stable genius.

I'm not sure that's the takeaway here, Mr. Rennison. 🤦‍♂️

My heart goes out to all those CEO's who moved their entire supply chain to the U.S. last night.

Do not obey in advance.

Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.
