Episcopal bisshop Mariann Edgar Budde was speaking truth to power on inauguration day:
»Our God teaches us that we are to be merciful to the stranger, for we were all once strangers in this land. May God grant us the strength and courage to honor the dignity of every human being, to speak the truth to one another in love and walk humbly with each other and our God for the good of all people, the good of all people in this nation and the world.«

»What Musk is saying is 'Hey, Republicans, forget your constituents, forget your constitutional responsibilities. If you don't do what I, Elon Musk, want you to do, you're out of office. And I have the money to do just that. My friends, what we are looking at here has nothing to do with democracy. What we are looking at here is oligarchy. This is up and up government by the billionaire class for the billionaire class.«

Slotzin: And then you read the papers and you fall through this looking glass into this alternative reality and then these genocidal soccer hooligans are suddenly Anne Frank! It's terrifying and it's dangerous. And the thing is: it works. And we're all going to pay the price for this.

De in Amsterdam wonende Benjamin Moser (hij omschrijft zichzelf in zijn video als 'buitenlandse jood') probeert te begrijpen wat er donderdagavond in #Amsterdam gebeurde en hoe de politieke reactie en de reactie in de media volledig ontspoorden en losgezongen raakten van wat er werkelijk gebeurd is.

@libreoffice Is version 24.2 following version 7.6? That's the one I use under Arch Linux, provided by the package libreoffice-still.
