Lonneke Talks 🇺🇸

For more than a decade, every New York City mayor who promised to get the carriage horses off the streets has failed, and not for lack of trying. Behind Central Park's most iconic ride is a quiet war between two powerful lobbies: a union with the muscle to bring the city to a halt, and an animal-rights group bankrolled by real-estate money. Today we follow the horses, the money, and the surprising answer to a simple question: who actually decides their future?Spotify: Lonneke Talks🇺🇸 https://open.spotify.com/show/7rZLX64l33lo18xeo38UcBRumble: https://rumble.com/c/lonnekeengelSocial Media: @LonnekeEngelThis Episode was made possible thanks to:Legendary Leaders: The UntrustableGame Changers: Rico, Danny, Jelle, Karin, Carmen, Jeroen, Arjan, SylviaImpact Makers: Cas, Mike, Elja, Johannes, Christina, Anne-Marie, Jacqueline, Dennis, José, Anne-MarieTruth Seekers: Debby, Herman, Common Sense, iMick, Christina, Ad, Jan O, Ron R, Ineke, Han, James, Roy, Jennie, MoniqueFreethinkers: Mjeetje,Gina, Maya, Ennovi, Hannegien, Alexander, Elly, Jan, Tralala, Idada, Blasterion, Paul, Jolanda, Josje, Joey, Melanie, Lydia, Edwin, Daniel, Griffen, vanGert, Anja, Gaston, Jeanek, Rob, Dirk, Insta, Danny, Ans, Fred-Jan, Syta.

VP JD Vance warned Europe about the attack on democratic values like freedom of expression and dissent, but in reality it has only gotten worse: people are being convicted and even jailed for a single social media post — even when those posts are based on scientific evidence and facts. Will the USA soon see political asylum seekers from Europe?

Most people think of the Netherlands as polite, progressive, and pretty chill about protest. The reality on the ground tells a different story. We're talking about the "Romeo" units, plainclothes police accused of violently targeting peaceful demonstrators, and why the two-tier policing that started during COVID never really ended.
