"Maria Corina Machado has shown that the tools of democracy are also the tools of peace." Powerful words in the Nobel Committee announcement.

Jeg fikk med meg at kjøttkaker visstnok var et symbol. Men hvorfor er den gjennomsnittlige velgers middagsmat viktigere i valgkampens siste uke enn programmene partiene går til valg på? Det skjønte jeg ikke.

Altså hva eeeer dette for noe?

Vi har ikke hatt en eneste debatt om vår tids mest konkrete og farligste utfordring i hele valgkampen, og så får du en siste partilederdebatt med temaer skreddersydd for de mest populistiske partiene på Stortinget, som du pakker inn i kjøttkakediskurs.

It was the Dunninge of tymes. It was the Kruger of tymes.

Duties will apply from 15 April.

They can be lifted at any time, should a fair and balanced negotiated solution be found.

Ukraine's independence and territorial integrity are unconditional.

Our priority must now be strengthening Ukraine and providing robust security guarantees.

In any negotiation, Europe must have a central role.

It’s another historic day for European integration.

#Estonia, #Latvia, & #Lithuania have now unplugged from Russia’s power grid.

🧵 Here’s how our new connection as part of #Europe will turbocharge energy security.

What’s happening to USAID is a tragedy, however to provide some perspective, I’ve seen comments along the lines of “it’s by far the world’s largest donor organisation” and that’s not true. Its annual budget is USD 10bn; EU foreign aid* is €80bn (2021-2027), add EU member states & it’s much more. 1/2

I lys av Facebooks svar til dere er det jo interessant om de røkter annonsene når de blir rapportert ad tjenestevei av brukere, ikke bare når en faktasjekkorganisasjon tar kontakt...

Interessant! Forsøkte dere å rapportere annonsene? Jeg rapporterte en slik svindelannonse bare for å forsøke og fikk beskjed i to runder, altså også etter klage på første svar, at den ikke brøt med Facebooks retningslinjer.

The reason people think the term cisgender is a slur is because that’s how they use the term transgender.
