Desværre sker der ofte det, når erhvervsinteresser får gaflen i kødet, at boligerne bliver luksusrenoveret, de grønne områder bliver nedprioriteret, mens kontorlokaler bliver opprioriteret i den endelige plan = ubetalelige huslejepriser for mange, tomme boliger og de boligløse mangler et sted at bo.

Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection.

Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

Imagine being mad you didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize while you’re busy stirring up Civil War in your own country.

There is more than one reason for why Putin decided to invade Ukraine. It's not either a genocidal project of eliminating Ukrainian nationhood or about great power competition with NATO — it's both (and a couple more, in fact).

Timothy Snyder @timothysnyder.bsky.social · 1d

When Putin talks to a Russians he consistently says that they invade Ukraine to destroy the state and nation and correct the path of history. NATO and similar framings are just for the useful foreigners.

Maria Popova @popovaprof.bsky.social · 11d

Pu spells out Ru's imperialist motivations for the war. He calls the conquest a long-held dream and historical destiny.

He beclowns those who insist NATO expansion caused the war. Let's see if anyone from the Mearsheimer fan club admits the claim has been falsified.

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

There is perverse thinking, and a step below that is thinking that a president that is illegally sending US military units into US cities should be awarded the Nobel Peace prize.

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

If you rename the Department of Defense the Department of War, then bomb fishing boats in the Caribbean, and shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper bullet, you should automatically be barred from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for the rest of your life.

Mon ikke han lige ville have en aftale i hus, inden Nobelkommiteen skulle samles? Så får vi at se, hvor holdbar den er, når virkeligheden rammer.

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

Politikere har travlt med at camouflere deres trussel om at tage unges førtidspension op til revision som 'omsorg'.
Hvor mange af dem har SPURGT unge under 40, om de føler sig parkeret eller inderligt lettede over endelig at have fået ro på en fast ydelse?

"The Pentagon has investigated nearly 300 Defense Department employees, including service members, civilian workers and contractors, for comments appearing online after last month’s shooting death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, according to documents reviewed by The Washington Post."

Hegseth’s sprawling hunt for Charlie Kirk critics spans nearly 300 investigations

The inquiry, resulting in a smattering of disciplinary action so far, follows an extraordinary directive aimed at silencing criticism of the slain activist and Trump supporter.

I en tid, der føles usikker og uforudsigelig, er 'del og hersk' en politisk strategi, der er særlig effektiv til at skabe konflikter mellem grupper i samfundet (os vs. dem), så vi glemmer at kritisere magthavernes beslutninger og samfundets rigide strukturer. #dkpol www.dr.dk/nyheder/poli...

Førtidspensionister kan miste deres pension: Regeringen vil genåbne 'visse' sager

Hvem der bliver ramt, og hvordan sagerne skal vurderes, er endnu uklart.

"Vestens dobbelte standarder er ikke til at overse. På den ene side hylder man den internationale retsorden i kritikken af Ruslands overgreb på Ukraine, mens man samtidig fortrænger den over for Israels overgreb på og etniske udrensning af palæstinensere" #dkpol

Hvem beskytter danskerne mod Socialdemokratiet?

Vi skal ikke længere blot forsvare danske værdier som frihed og menneskerettigheder mod ydre fjender. I stigende grad skal vi desværre også forsvare os mod centrale dele af Socialdemokratiets politik

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.
