"The Butler Library protest and sweeping responses came amid an all-out assault against #universities — particularly #Columbia, which has been flashpoints of campus protests against #Israel’s war on #Gaza — by the #Trump administration. Decrying virtually any pro-#Palestine position as anti-#Jewish animus, the administration formed a Joint Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism to lead its crackdown."

“Een algeheel verkoopverbod voor vapes is er niet. De staatssecretaris van Volksgezondheid Vincent Karremans zei onlangs dat zo'n verbod op dit moment niet lukt. Dat zou komen door Europese regels.”
Zou dit probleem niet in andere EU-landen spelen? Een totaalverbod op vapes binnen de EU moet toch vlot geregeld kunnen worden?

"This is naked corruption on a massive scale. But at least the golf stuff is covered by a tiny fig leaf, ostensibly separating the Trump organization and the Oval Office. Now, less than four months into his second term, Trump is ripping the bandaid off and discarding all pretense."

Happy birthday to Bubby. According to his microchip, he's 20 years old today! IMO he doesn't look a day over ten.
We got him at 14 years old from a shelter. He was not considered adoptable due to his age and having diabetes. Since I already had one diabetic cat, how hard could it be to handle two?
He's a prince, one of the sweetest cats you'd ever meet. Likes everybody. He just wants a soft place to sleep, regular meals, and some attention. #CatsOfMastodon #Blackcat #SeniorCat

The omission of the word Han (漢人) to describe Taiwan's main ethnic group has sparked controversy in Taiwan.
It should spark a much needed debate. The word Han is poorly defined. It is even more problematic in the context of Taiwan.
