Former President Obama brings his calm and steady leadership style to us once again to remind us of our power:

“It is up to all of us to fix this. It's not going to be because somebody comes and saves you. The most important office in this democracy is the citizen—who says, no, that's not right.”

Administration advises all foreign students, staff, and faculty to postpone or reconsider (ie cancel) international travel, due to federal government's crackdown on universities.

Brown also warns against *domestic travel* -since it's unclear what ICE will do.

When I wrote my camps book, people sometimes had difficulty understanding how concentration-camp regimes were proud of what they were doing and wanted attention for it, even as they also hoped to keep many aspects secret and terrorize vulnerable classes. Anyway, this is what that looks like.

If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word “terrorism,” then expect to be called a “terrorist” soon yourself.

Det er ikke lov å være så dum at man ser det opptrinnet der og tror Trump fortsatt vil komme til unnsetning om et NATO-land trenger det. Rust opp, send penger til Ukraina, knytt oss nærmere Norden og EU. Det haster nå.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II.

Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

This presser was a horror show. Ukraine will not have US support going forward, because Trump and Vance are completely lost. Europe will step-up and this war will continue. Trump blew this bigger than any foriegn policy folly in recent history.

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

Første reaksjon:
1. Trump oppfører seg som Keiseren som forlanger kowtow fra sine lydriker, eller mafiabossen som forlanger ringen kysset.
2. Ukraina kan ikke regne med mer støtte fra USA. Europa må kompensere.
3. Norge må gå foran med vår gassprofitt. Om nødvendig hele potten.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID.

This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC.

What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.
Elon Musk: "We will make mistakes. We won't be perfect ... so for example, with USAID, one of the things we accidentally canceled very briefly was ebola prevention."

Vance posted on X: “Judges aren’t allowed to control the executive’s legitimate power.” You mean Trump’s “power” being used to violate our Constitution? The Constitution is not something any president can manipulate for political games.

Og dette er viktig - vi har allerede demontert forsvaret vårt basert på elendige råd fra McKinsey, de kan holde seg til det de kan best, nemlig bistå regimer med å jakte ned dissidenter eller rådgi folk om hvordan de kan selge mest mulig opiater og holde seg unna offentlig sektor
Holmøy mfl. peker på det som flere har vist allerede - regnestykkene i «landet som ble for rikt» er magic math som ingen har giddet å kvalitetssikre fordi de liker konklusjonen.

Så jeg gjentar. Makroøkonomi er ikke en strikkegenser som du er usikker på. Det må VÆRE riktig, ikke bare FØLES riktig

It’s a major surprise to me that this is the first time it’s happened.

The methodology in defining a
top scientist was to look at the authors of the most cited papers in 129 scientific journals.

Since 2020, the number of U.S. top scientists has declined by 14% while it’s up by 77% in China.

While the number of leading scientists in America is falling, the number in China is only going up, according to new data.
