Afghanistan-veteran: Det er dybt hyklerisk, når særligt to politikere fordømmer Trumps hån af vores soldater - Altinget
Jeg deler politikernes vrede over Trumps respektløshed. Men det klinger hult, når de samtidig forhaler den udredning, der skal kaste lys over Danmarks krigsdeltagelse i Afghanistan. Særligt Troels Lund Poulsen og Søren Gade har et ansvar, de ikke kan løbe fra, skriver Morten Kromann.

MitID virkede på de-Googlede versioner af Android indtil for nylig, hvor de gennemtvang at det kun fungerer på standard-Android. Så MitID alene har i store træk tvunget alle danskere til at have en amerikansk kontrolleret telefon – paradoksalt nok med en forklaring om at øge sikkerheden.

History is making fun of us
4 frame comic. In the first frame, a portrait of Knut Hamsun. In the second, Hamsun is seen shaking hands with Goebbels. In the third, he looks at something Hitler is showing him. In the third, Machado presents Trump with her Nobel prize. Text reads : The last Nobel prize laureate to gift their medal to someone was The influential Norwegian writer Knut Hamsun*. Source : *the Nobel prize committee, the Nobel prize and the laureate are inseparable, JANUARY 16th 2026 he won the Nobel prize of Literature in 1920, and in 1943, decided to give it to Joseph Goebbels, the nazi head of propaganda. Days later, Hamsun was awarded a rare audience with Hitler, to complain about the German administrator of Norway and to plead for the release of Norwegian prisoners. nothing came out of it. sometimes, it feels like history is making fun of us.

a snow covered city scape (I think it's in Paris based on looks). One cyclist is in the center of the photo, there are many pedestrians walking, but not cars on the road. The sidewalk and bike lanes are covered in snow, the roads have been cleared of snow.

Look, people, let’s stop being so judgmental about folks who stay on Twitter/X. There are fewer Nazis here, sure, but if a woman gets murdered by an ICE agent and you want to see her corpse in a bathing suit, where are you on Bluesky? Out of luck, that’s where.

Should you be in the mood for punishing Trump for the abject abuse of power in Venezuela, there's one thing you can do:

Keep talking about the Epstein files.

Interesting analysis, which also helps to explain the ferocity with which the US government is fighting the green transition.

But it also raises the question: What could/should a Democratic US government do to both decarbonize and avoid bankruptcy from loss of faith in the dollar?

A very long and important THREAD -

The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974.

And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself.
