Flinke tegenvaller voor boeren en minister Wiersma: uitzondering mestregels verdwijnt
Een flinke tegenvaller voor Nederlandse boeren. Zij hoeven niet te rekenen op een nieuwe uitzondering op de Europese mestregels. Demissionair landbouwminister Femke Wiersma had daartoe een verzoek ingediend bij Eurocommissaris Jessika Roswall, maar dat is afgewezen. Dat meldt de BBB-bewindsvrouw aan de Tweede Kamer. "Ik vind dit besluit van de Europese Commissie zeer teleurstellend", schrijft zij.

Calling it “divisive” to document the honest brutality of American slavery and lynching is an attempt to erase the uncomfortable truth of racial terror.
Government efforts to remove such important history from both curricula and public institutions are efforts of deliberate whitewashing, propaganda to protect a mythology of American innocence.
Sanitizing the past protects power, not feelings.

Hš vinte anos atršs, eu achava que 480p era uma resolução ótima para vídeos e que somente filmes muito específicos (com fotografia excepcional) justificavam o uso de resolução de 720p, que ocupava muito espaço no HD/CD. Mas agora hš pouco estava assistindo um videoclip da Loreena McKennitt em resolução 480p na minha TV de 42 polegadas e mal conseguia distinguir as imagens.
Em parte isso é porque nossos cérebros ficaram muito acostumado a imagens em alta resolução. Mas, principalmente, c…

Content warning: ICE, racism, police brutality

An extremely simple syllogism, for which the evidence is ample and has been easily available for over a decade:
ICE : white people in Minneapolis ::
regular police : Black people everywhere in America
If you're saying "Abolish ICE" right now (as you should be) but you're hesitant to say "Abolish the police" then you're okay with the brutality as long as it's reinforcing the racial hierarchy, and that's not a good look.
I understand that "Abolish the police" is a scary thing to think about if *your* experience has been that they keep you safe, but recognize how much of that is myth vs reality, e.g. have you ever personally had a positive interaction with police, or do those all happen in stories? Also, even if they do keep you safe, is it worth it if the cost is brutality to the marginalized? (No, it's not.)
At minimum we can see the following behaviors on both sides of the syllogism:
- retaliation for legally "protected" defiance or even just observation
- random killings, with mostly-nonexistent repercussions for the officers involved
- regular widespread harassment & surveillance
-more that I don't have time to list right now. Feel free to reply with your own examples.
