I want every gay person that doesn't realize that transgender rights and gay rights are interconnected to read this story. A far-right judge just erased your rights against harassment in the workplace along with ours. We are in this together and there's only one way out.

Boeren de baas
Ze gijzelen in Den Haag alweer het derde kabinet op rij. In Brussel was een handvol mestspuitende
trekkers genoeg om het natuurbeleid de nek om te draaien. En ook in andere Europese hoofdsteden geldt: de boerenwil is wet.
Elke discussie verstomt als de landbouwlobby 'voedselzekerheid' roept. In tijden van internationale onrust is dat een winnend argument. Europa moet zichzelf kunnen voeden, dus weet de agrarische sector jaarlijks meer dan €50 miljard uit de Brusselse subsidiepotten te trekken.
Voedselzekerheid was altijd al een zwak argument (tulpenvelden, met importvoer gevoede veestapel, gewassen voor bio-brandstof), maar nu weten we zeker dat men het niet echt meent.
Vanaf juni wil de EU importtarieven op Oekraiense landbouwproducten heffen, want onze boeren zijn bang voor de concurrentie.
Oekraïne, een land in oorlog dat smeekt om worden toegelaten tot de Europese Unie, kan dankzij het enorme areaal aan vruchtbare chernozem-aarde een grote bijdrage leveren aan onze voedselveiligheid. Het krijgt geen lidmaatschap, maar een tarief. Want het gaat Brussel niet om het eten op ons bord, maar om de portemonnee van de boeren.

Lutnick said that the previous admin had used a “rushed, opaque & unfair” process to select recipients & that there would be a new competition for the #funding.

Or has anyone else noticed that people with Narcissistic personality disorder tend to identify as Buddhists if and when pressed about the spiritual aspects of their lives.
It’s a pattern i’ve noticed with NPDs of European Extraction.
I have met sincere Buddhists of that genetic and cultural background.
NPDs usually have claimed Zen or Tibetan flavored Buddhist leanings.

The image shows a screenshot of a Google search results page on a mobile device. The time displayed at the top is 3:02, and the battery level is at 32%. The search query is "nsa buddhism," and the first result is titled "AI Overview." The result text explains that "NSA Buddhism" is a historical reference primarily associated with the Soka Gakkai (SG) and Soka Gakkai International (SGI) movements. It mentions that the Soka Gakkai was originally known as the Nichiren Shoshu of America (NSA) and was later replaced by SGI-USA to reflect the organization's international expansion and relationship with the SGI. The text also provides an elaboration on Nichiren Buddhism, describing it as a branch of Mahayana Buddhism based on the teachings of the 13th-century Japanese Buddhist priest, Nichiren. It is characterized by the veneration of the Gohonzon, chanting "Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo," and the study of Nichiren's writings. The Soka Gakkai (SG) and Soka Gakkai International (SGI) are described as lay movements that promote Nichiren Buddhism. The search bar at the top shows the Google logo, and the URL "google.com" is visible at the bottom of the screen.
