Worried about the decay of liberal democracy, hoping my grandchildren won't have to suffer the disruptive effects of authoritarian regimes that my parents lived through.

After all the slip and fall videos the past two days, I'm thinking even they want to abolish ice.
ICE officers slipping on ice while trying to terrorize communities is the most accurate metaphor imaginable. No balance. No footing. No moral ground. Just cruelty, incompetence, and gravity doing its thing.

You couldn't publish this today. You'd have to cloak it under several layers of metaphor.

Jeg har dett klippet fra Aftenposten 8 november 1932 liggende, og tenkte jeg kunne dele det for å minne om at man ikke må overdrive ting. Når politikere av en viss type uttaler seg litt ukonvensjonelt er det bare sånn de er.

Noen som husker tv-serien «Okkupert»? Der Norges statsminister kidnappes av et vist naboland, for å påtvinge kontroll over norsk oljeproduksjon? Tenk at den skulle være dagsaktuell da.

Even if you didn’t vote for this, if you are an American this has been done in your name and you have a responsibility to do what you can to renounce and stop it. It’s not fair, but it is the duty that has been placed on us.

It's not just that the United States has stopped trying to promote liberal democratic ideas internationally. It's that the United States is actively trying to promote the contrary. It's trying to turn more countries into Hungary.

Cutting 30,000 jobs at the VA, which will put veterans' services at risk.
Firing federal workers across government, many of whom are veterans.
Gutting SNAP & Medicaid, which millions of veterans need.
Our vets defended us, and this is how the Trump regime is repaying them?

What Hegseth did today was inform an organization he’s unqualified to lead that (a) any area in which he believes he personally excels (e.g. physical fitness) is all that matters, and (b) any area in which he’s deficient (leadership, morality, ethics, record, experience, intelligence) is immaterial.

Ti måneder etter at fylkesråden for kultur fra FrP måtte gå av på grunn av rasistiske og hatefulle uttalelser, foreslår høyresida han som ny fylkesvaraordfører.
Fylkesråd for kultur i Akershus (FrP) omtaler vinneren av Miss Universe som en «hvit, ekte kvinne» og sier at «vi er i ferd med å få normaliteten tilbake». Det er nesten ikke til å tro at en av de høyeste politiske tillitsvalgte i Akershus kommer med så opplagt rasistiske og hatefulle uttalelser.

En næring som "legger seg flat" post factum. Ikke veldig betryggende, og det føyer seg til listen over bransjens cowboypraksis. Konklusjon: mindre innkjøp av oppdrettsfisk framover for egen del.

Laks døydde i oppdrettsanlegget til Mowi. Så vart fisken sortert som menneskemat på slaktebåten.
