Orbán-getrouwen versluizen rijkdom uit Hongarije naar het buitenland na verkiezingsnederlaag  | VRT NWS Nieuws
Getrouwen uit de kring rond de Hongaarse premier Orbán zijn hun rijkdom naar het buitenland aan het verplaatsen, zodat die niet in beslag zou kunnen genomen worden door de nieuwe regering van Péter Magyar. Magyar waarschuwde daar zelf voor op sociale media, maar ook onderzoeksjournalisten brengen het nieuws op basis van bronnen binnen de regering.

Directeurs van 3 Lintse basisscholen schrijven open brief: "We zullen niet meer alle kinderen kunnen leren zwemmen" | VRT NWS Nieuws
De directeurs van 3 basisscholen in Lint hebben een open brief geschreven om hun bezorgdheid te uiten rond het schoolzwemmen. De kost per zwembeurt in het zwembad van Kontich gaat gevoelig omhoog. Daarnaast zullen zowel het schoolzwemmen als het middagtoezicht voortaan moeten worden betaald met een subsidie van 45 euro per kind per jaar. "We zullen ons moeten focussen op bepaalde klassen om te leren zwemmen", zegt Katleen Vleugels, directeur van basisschool De Wilg. Burgemeester Rudy Verhoeven (N-VA) ontkent dat de subsidie is gedaald en is bereid om samen naar oplossingen te zoeken.

Coretta Scott King was born #OTD in 1927. + Author & #civilrights leader + A primary architect of nonviolent struggle for racial equality + Expanded the movement's scope to include women's rights, LGBTQ dignity & global peace + Founder, the King Center + Lobbied for 15 years lobbying for #MLKDay
A black-and-white, close-up photograph of Coretta Scott King (1927–2006), a prominent civil rights leader and activist. She is positioned behind a cluster of microphones, looking slightly upward with a somber, determined, and resilient expression. Her face is centered, and her dark hair is styled in a voluminous wave. She wears a dark, professional coat or dress with a small, visible earring. The foreground is dominated by several microphones on stands; one to her right features a prominent vertical white tag with the call letters "WBAI" written vertically in bold, black letters. The background is blurred. This was at the Peace-In-Vietnam Rally, Central Park, New York, April 27, 1968. The composition is a tightly framed portrait that emphasizes her strength and leadership during a period of intense social struggle. A color, close-up portrait of Coretta Scott King (1927–2006) in her later years. She is positioned in the foreground, angled slightly toward the right, with a soft, serene, and knowing smile. Her dark hair is neatly styled, and she wears red lipstick, large gold and white clip-on earrings, and a vibrant teal-blue blazer. Her left hand rests gracefully under her chin, showing a gold watch on her wrist. The background features a large, slightly out-of-focus framed portrait of her late husband, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., looking on with a serious expression. The composition creates a powerful juxtaposition between the vibrant, living presence of Coretta and the solemn historical legacy of Dr. King, symbolizing her lifelong commitment to carrying forward their shared mission. The lighting is warm and soft, casting a dignified and reflective mood over the entire scene.

When children are shot in their classrooms, all politicians can offer are thoughts and prayers. When a shooting happens near them, they demand a $350 million golden ballroom to protect themselves.
Don't normalize a system that protects power more than it protects children.

Netanyahu has been raising the specter of an Iranian nuclear weapon since at least 1995 and now is using that as an excuse to start a war. Almost all Iranians want freedom from the Islamic Republic of Iran. Despite what you might hear, tho, my people’s liberation will not come from foreign bombs.
