"Vi har totalt mislyktes med integreringen av innvandrere de siste årene", sier Høyre på radio. Har vi virkelig det? Eller sitter Høyre-representanten bare og ljuger på radio? Jeg tror det siste.

will dismiss TX applicants as “unprepared”. TX is modeling their #RaceToTheBottom by following OK's lead. TX may even beat OK & become 50th in the nation in education. DEI makes you smarter b/c you learn from other cultures. White Nationalism makes you stupid. If you don’t resist, you’re a loser.

@theguardian.com @conservatives.bsky.social weird seeing #kemi copying maga policy and outstupid certain ignorant leaders and how no one in the right shuts her up - #racetothebottom - trauma for wearing masks...what a drama queen and how insensitive to those that dies - health over party, you fools
🧵PUBLIC HEALTH SHOULD NOT BE A CULTURE WAR

😷 It’s bizarre watching politicians, like Kemi Badenoch perform trauma around masks while millions live with the reality of not masking; death, disability, ME, Long Covid.

The Guardian are asking for opinions on masking 🖇️👇 /1

I signed this open letter against the blind adoption of "AI" in our science and in our universities, and I urge other scientists and university staff in Germany to do the same.

This could be extended to white, rural populations in the US with comparatively fewer immigrants than urban areas: these folks buy into MAGA distortions about “drug mules” and “eating your pets”, all to build political energy rooted in fear, for the purpose of stoking a culture war

The whiter the area the more likely it is to have a Reform problem. Immigration isn’t the problem, otherwise you’d get Reform in more diverse areas - it’s fear of change among older people.

“Legitimate concerns” update
Conservative Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp repeatedly refusing to say that he thinks Reform MP Sarah Pochin saying she doesn't like seeing black people on TV was racist.

Says he wouldn't use her "language" but it's right for her to express "legitimate concerns" about migration
