«What, then, was the responsibility of the alpinist when faced with these political developments? Was it to remain “anonymous,” à la Heckmair? To turn away from the valleys altogether? To ignore the facts in the lowlands and disappear into the landscape?»

If you were a famous climber in prewar Austria, would you suck up to the praise and interest bestowed on you by Nazi propagandists? Extremely timely and interesting essay in the American climbing magazine Alpinist about climbing and politics in the Dolomites. alpinist.com/features/tri...

Triumph Without Will

In this Full Value story from Alpinist 91, Christopher Elliott interrogates the history of climbing in the Brenta Dolomites, the Nazi preoccupation with mountains and the responsibility of individuals...

Huh. Gonna be an awkward day for Secretary of State-National Security Advisor-Acting Archivist Marco Rubio.

www.rickscott.senate.gov/services/fil...

Part of a letter sent by a bunch of GOP members of Congress in favor of granting Maria Corina Machado the Nobel Peace Prize, which she won today.

The last three paragraphs, before Rick Scott and Marco Rubio's signature, reads:

The Maduro regime's abuses and assaults on the civil society and legitimate
political activity of Venezuelan citizens have caused millions to flee to other countries,
while millions more have had no choice but to remain in the prison Maduro has
imposed on them. The peace of the region has been greatly disturbed by Maduro’s
welcoming of some of the world’s worst actors, including terrorists and dictators who
support him.
It is our firm belief that María Corina Machado’s courageous and selfless
leadership, and unyielding dedication to the pursuit of peace and democratic ideals,
make her a most deserving candidate for this prestigious award. Her efforts not only
highlight the urgent need for international solidarity in the face of aggressive and
expansive authoritarianism but also serve as a reminder of the power of individual
bravery in the quest for justice.

"After nearly 40 years, the Arctic Research Consortium of the United States, or ARCUS, will close September 30."

"The Arctic Research Consortium of the United States funded programs that aided Indigenous communities and tracked melting sea ice, among dozens of initiatives."

Når jeg holder foredrag om konspirasjonstenkning, pleier jeg å vise eksempler på hvordan det tar ca fem minutter fra noe skjer til transfolk får skylda. Transfolk er faktisk i ferd med å utfordre jødene som standard-syndebukkene for skrotinger.

I wonder what will pass for normal discourse in the American right / MAGA in 10 years time if they continue to radicalize in the same pace as in the last 10.

Ulrike Franke @rikefranke.bsky.social · 29d

These two paragraphs, these two statements one after the other is quite something.

“Charlie Kirk being assassinated is the American Reichstag fire,” said Matt Forney, a rightwing writer and blogger. He said Democratic politicians should be arrested and the party banned. “It is time for a complete crackdown on the left.”

He was not alone. Katie Miller, the influencer and wife of Trump’s deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, said liberals were to blame for Kirk’s killing. “You called us Hitler,” she wrote on X. “You called us Nazis. You called us Racists. You have blood on your hands.”

Stemmer teller, ressurser avgjør. Nå bør et nytt Storting fort som svint skjerpe reglene for valgkampfinansiering å tette høla slik at ikke styrtrike enkeltpersoner eller andre kan få lov til å kjøpe neste valg. De har hatt stor innflytelse denne gangen. Kanskje er det siste sjanse.

Okei. Helt seriøst nå.

MDG måles til 7,1%. Det er vilt bra!
Men dette er IKKE trygt.

Sist vi fløy så høyt var i 2021. «Klimavalget». ALLE trodde MDG skulle ta sperregrensa.

Vi kom skarve 1721 stemmer unna.

Det kommer til å skje igjen om du ikke stemmer grønt i dag.

Bli med på vinnerlaget!💚
