I dag tente vi lyset i museumstreet.
11. november 1918 ble første verdenskrig erklært slutt. Det er fremdeles uro i Europa, krig i våre nærområder og statsledere som ikke følger de demokratiske spillereglene.
La lyset være en påminnelse om at fred ikke må tas for gitt.

The Tories’ Dangerous Drift
In the U.K., a shocking proposal from a Conservative MP elicited pushback from her party only belatedly. It signals darker things to come.

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC
I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents.
I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

Yes NATO is crucial. Yes the EU lacks power.

Slik er det selvsagt ikke. Emosjonelle reaksjoner, særlig mot ytringer som kan bagatellisere overgrep, er en del av et sunt offentlig ordskifte. Når Kierulf antyder at slike reaksjoner rokker ved demokratiets grunnmur, marginaliserer hun viktige stemmer og gjør demokratiet snevrere, ikke sterkere.

Politikere som ytrer seg om betente spørsmål må forvente motreaksjoner. Når Kierulf beskytter dem fra reaksjoner under dekke av ytringsfrihet, men ikke anerkjenner ytringsfriheten til dem som reagerer, kan det fremstå som om hun har en dobbel standard for hvem som skal tåle hva.

The desperate need to accumulate more and more at the cost of everyone else’s wellbeing should be classified as a mental disorder, and I will absolutely die on this hill.
Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

On how the radical right are trying to change our collective memory about World War Two as part of their assault on the postwar order.

Imagine if people with ten times the power of these pyjama-clad mom and dads had a tenth of their courage (and anger). The Trump regime wouldn’t have stood a chance.
Ah, locals mention the federal court order here, which also requires agents to wear some identification.
Also, quite an image in here: masked, fully-geared-out DHS agents getting screamed at in a residential neighborhood by some dude who is barefoot and in pajama pants.

Danby Choi burde bli avvist som en ekstremist. Man kan ikke sitte å forsvare aktivister som Kirk som (han mener) sier mye bra, også noen dumme ting.
Når de dumme tingene er at man heier på statskupp og å henrette demokratisk valgte ledere.
Da ender du opp med å heie på en voldelig ekstremist.
