It’s been reported locally, but I’m not sure how much national notice this has gotten. As part of this invasion by shithead goons, they are putting ICE agents in jetbridges and other parts of the airport at Minneapolis-Saint Paul. If you are flying Delta via MSP, you are putting yourself at risk.

Det var en glad Dan Jørgensen (S), der i forbindelse med COP28 annoncerede, at det lykkedes verdens lande at lave en klimafond, som skal kompensere sårbare lande for klimarelaterede skader. Men i dag, to år senere, er der stadig ikke udbetalt en eneste krone. Læs her: https://danwatch.dk/?p=44833

if you try to focus on Trump’s authoritarianism, Schumer will deflect and say people want us to focus on affordability. but when Zohran Mamdani made affordability the heart of his campaign Schumer refused to endorse him because they disagree about Israel. it’s all mealy mouthed bullshit.

It's highly unusual and aggressive for law enforcement to conduct a search on a reporter's home.

Denmark increases its military presence in Greenland, according to Danish media. This is a good move. Denmark is not in a position to fight an all-out war against the U.S., but it can certainly make it a difficult operation with more dilemmas for Trump.

That no criminal conviction nor procedural fairness is required for the minister to desginate a hate group as such will invariably lead to the criminialisation of peaceful activism and protest groups. If you don't think Labor would do this, then imagine the Coalition salivating at the prospect.
The Albo government's antisemitism bill is a rushed hatchet job. Nobody has proper time to consider it carefully enough, and it will have all sorts of unintended consequences if passed. It is the worst kind of law-making: moral panic induced, pandering to powerful lobby groups' demands.
