... Turns out their funder is a single individual, a Norwegian man associated with the concrete business. He has a factory in Murmansk and produces concrete to house kidnapped Ukrainian children. Truly despicable attempt at foreign interference.

We must remain Democratic and antifascist.

Nytt politisk parti nektar รฅ oppgi kven som betalar for stor kampanje Ein massiv kampanje mot norske milliardar til Ukraina-krigen pregar T-banen i Oslo. Lars Haltbrekken (SV) ber kommunalministeren svare.

Norway officially has pro-Putin party, run by Russian assets who feature on RT and used to run a Kreml-aligned fascist "Konservative" party. But this this time they are trying under the guise of left wing rhetoric. They openly want Russia to annex Ukraine, and refused to say who their funded was...

A safety manual for academics visiting America - Research Professional News Petra Boynton looks at what advice UK universities should give US-bound researchers and students

UK universities should be advising students and staff travelling to the US on social media use, what border staff are entitled to seize or search, what to do if detained, and how to keep US colleagues safe, says @petraboynton.bsky.social www.researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-uk-v...

Well youโ€™ve got to give Trump credit, heโ€™s really lowering prices on the stock market, thatโ€™s for sure

Just watched the President's "Liberation Day" speech.

Based on this, I can confirm many Americans will be liberated from:

- Being able to afford groceries
- Much of their retirement savings
- Any hope of buying a home

As for lower prices? Just the opposite.

Watching Trump's speech on tarrifs, it's idiotic madness. Boycott as many American products as you can. You don't need to achieve anywhere close to 100% coverage to be effective. Think twice and pick a non-US alternative if possible. The future is European.

i am honestly asking -- have any prominent democrats outside of wisconsin even bothered to mention that the presidents money man (musk) is trying to buy the election there?

cause imagine george soros handing out checks and gop leadership not making it *the* political issue of the month?

I realize this is a race to the bottom, but if Trump can have a third term, so can Obama, right?

Yes, this is a picture of Elon Musk buying people's votes for a Trump-aligned Supreme Court judge in Wisconsin.

Trump Says Heโ€™s โ€˜Not Jokingโ€™ About Seeking a Third Term in Defiance of Constitution President Trump, in an interview with NBC News, said there were โ€œmethodsโ€ that would allow a third term. The 22nd Amendment prohibits a person from being elected to more than two terms as president.

Americans: You are actively losing your democracy. This is what dictators do. There is no guarantee of an election in four years. Protest! Shout in the street! Discuss the implications of this with your brainwashed friends and families. Do anything!

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.

More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.

I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

We are watching Trump make the same mistakes Neville Chamberlain made in 1938 with the Munich Agreement. Russia is in a war time economy that it cannot stop, otherwise it's economy will collapse entirely. US may withdraw from NATO. Bleak times. Here's to hoping for a revival of European strength.

Joint Statement on Enhanced Defence Cooperation between Norway and the United Kingdom

Monumental step towards true, America-independent collective security between ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ด๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง today. The Brits trained our resistance fighters under Nazi occupation, and helped liberating us from tyranny. I'm glad to see the solidarity continue against the current facist threat (on both sides of the Atlantic)

Trump calls Zelensky a 'dictator' The comments comes as the latest salvo in a public war of words between the US and Ukrainian leaders.

Remember this for when in four-years time Trump is refusing to let go of power.

Musk, Trump Establish New Era of Kleptocracy in America A third dispatch comparing how the US media would cover this moment if it was happening overseas

American institutionsโ€”from the media to Congressโ€”continue to underreact to the unraveling of our democracy. Overseas our media would not hesitate to call what weโ€™re living through a full-blown autocratic coup. Here's my attempt at the story they should write: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-trump...

Especially in experiments, but perhaps also more generally: Learn to fail, but do so gracefully. Not achieving the desired outcome doesn't mean you're the problem or that the problem is insurmountable. It means you're still looking for the optimal solution.
