Mitt ydmyke forslag er at alle dere som åpenbart mener mye, kan mye, ønsker å endre verden, og er stressa nå, bruker noe tid i hverdagen på å *gjøre noe*. Forslag: meld deg inn i det politiske partiet du er minst uenig med. Gjør det i dag. Du vet hvilket det er, det kan gjøres fra mobil. Gjøøøør det
Problemet er at de gir flatt faen i om de ser tåpelig ut eller ikke, og derfor vinner de denne krigen. Er vel på tide at resten av oss faktisk gjør noe annet enn å himle med øya eller hva enn vi holder på med.

“Schmidt being “violently interrogated” at Logan Airport for hours, and being stripped naked, put in a cold shower by two officials, and being put back onto a chair.”

Whatever happened to #abolishICE? It needs to be abolished. This is torture.
Green card holder from New Hampshire 'interrogated' at Logan Airport, detained
Fabian Schmidt’s family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court.

Radiosondes on weather balloons are essential for collecting data from the upper atmosphere for accurate forecasting. Due to the mass firing at NOAA, the NWS doesn’t have enough people to launch balloons. 🎈

Accurate weather forecasts save lives.

I 100% believe that we should’ve done a lot more, a lot sooner, for Ukraine. And I also believe that if we had, we might have ended this war a long time ago the way it needs to end: by Russia backing down and us protecting Ukraine from future attacks.
Its a stalemate because we made it a stalemate. We have refused to give Ukraine the weapons it needed when it needed them. We have on purpose underarmed and under supported them for years.

Opinion | Trump’s Revenge Tour Finds Its True Target (Gift Article)
It is hard to describe the president’s first month and a half in office as something other than a retribution campaign against the American people.

Russland har kuppet USA.
Hegseth has ordered the Pentagon to STOP offensive cyber operations against Russia. This is insane. Russia is actively targeting the U.S., and the ability to conduct offensive operations (which was authorized by Trump in 2018!*) was at least one deterrent. Not anymore www.nytimes.com/2025/03/02/u...
Hegseth Orders Pentagon to Stop Offensive Cyberoperations Against Russia
The defense secretary’s instructions, which were given before President Trump’s blowup with the Ukrainian president, are apparently part of an effort to draw Russia into talks on the war.

I dag vil jeg anbefale to kronikker i @aftenposten.no. Den første av min gode kollega Ingeborg Bjur som på forbilledlig vis forklarer dilemmaet Norge står i vis-a-vis norsk sikkerhet og forholdet til USA: "Norge risikerer å bli fanget og forlatt av USA" 1/2

Norge risikerer å bli fanget og forlatt av USA

And there it is. Putin’s lifelong dream. After years of relentless Russian propaganda, now fully embraced by the American president and the world’s richest oligarch, millions of Americans are convinced that this is a good plan because Europe is an enemy and Putin is our friend.

It is important that people understand and accept as fact that our government is compromised. I don't mean compromised in some cloak-and-dagger sense, I simply mean that this government no longer accepts core democratic principles and is angling toward an autocracy that's part of a New Axis of Evil.

Recent incidents indicate US is no longer characterizing Russia as a cybersecurity threat, marking a radical departure: ‘Putin is on the inside now’

Det er fyr i både Twitter og Bluesky i kveld, og jeg har bestemt meg for å ikke overgi førstnevnte til Espen Teigen og andre trumpistene. Det er en ting de er bedre på der, og det er retvitring. Vi må bli flinkere her på det punktet.

How is this legal? How? Why is every top Democrat not outside the Treasury right now, holding a press conference at least? Or filing a lawsuit?? I am losing my mind.

Jeg synes ikke mediene gjør noen god jobb med å fortelle hva som skjer i USA, så jeg gjør like godt et forsøk selv. Hvis du har lyst til å beholde ditt gode humør kan det være du bør lese noe annet. Lang tråd, med linker.

Fascinerande å sjå folk så konsekvent ignorere nedbygginga av demokratiet i USA fordi Tr*mp "skjønnar at det berre er to kjønn" og "endeleg anti-woke".

Kva faen, er det så kjipt å vere ok mot oss transpersonar (ok, ikkje ein gong støttande) at dykk vil kaste demokrati og samfunn på bålet med oss?!

In 2014 Dutch scientists left a hamster wheel outside, to see if wild animals would use it like their domesticated counterparts.

The answer: hell yes! 734 visits from wild mice - plus rats, shrews, slugs ("running" being subjective here) & even frogs and snails.

The apparent reason: fun. Just fun.

Foreslår at Stortinget vedtar å endre navnet på USA til Vinland på mandag. Men slike politikere har vi dessverre ikke. I stedet kommer de vel til å snakke om Amerikagulfen før blekket er tørt. www.nrk.no/nyheter/trum...

Kjære NRK: Russland har ikke erobret «store områder øst i Ukraina» i 2024.

Ord gir makt. Når skal NRK lære seg denne helt sentrale læresetningen i etterrettelig og balansert journalistikk? 🧵1/25
