screenshot of text from Adam Serwer in The Atlantic: "The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they're the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive - because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about "Western civilization," while armed brutes try to tear it down by force."

Kjekt å se at vi har så mange eksperter om Minnesota her i Norge 🥰

Likte den jeg fant under bedre 😉

Minnesota National Guard warmly greeting and handing out snacks to peaceful protesters!
🫶 👏 ✊

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

This administration is cooked. Literally no one is scared of them.

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment.

Excellent article!

Feigheten/inkompetansen fra NRK er ikke en del av samfunnsoppdraget. Tvert imot. Som sagt mange ganger: NRK viser en forbausende mangel på evne til å håndtere Trump og samtiden. Enorme ressurser til disposisjon, men blant de dårligste i klassen. Falsk balanse på speed.

For å følge med det som skjer i Minnesota, bruk MPR eller Star Tribune. Begge er på bakken og pålitelige.

NRK har bare blitt verre og verre de siste årene.

NRK seems to only be getting worse and worse

There are tons of smart people working at both TV2 and VG.

I imagine a lot of them are embarrassed most days when they visit their own homepage?

One thing that really surprised me when I moved to Norway was how much of the media used clickbait, misleading, or purposefully obscure headlines — even organizations doing serious reporting.

It’s always struck me as needlessly unprofessional, but guess it comes from tabloid culture?

There are hundreds of people (maybe more?) in this photo. Not only is this not the main vigil, the main vigil is only a few blocks away. There will be tens of thousands of people in Minneapolis lighting a candle for our neighbor tonight.

Abolish ICE, get these thugs out of my hometown

Mood in minneapolis right now

According to Minnesota police, Pretti had no criminal history beyond traffic violations, he worked with critically ill veterans, and he was legally carrying a gun in his belt while filming ICE agents with his cell phone. Video from the scene shows Pretti trying to help a woman who had been shoved by one of the agents, before six or seven agents pile on top of him, pepper spray and beat him while he’s restrained on the ground, remove the gun from his holster, and then shoot him several times in the chest until he’s dead. He never reaches for the gun or threatens the agents in any way; his hands are empty, he’s disarmed and lying helpless on the ground before they start spraying bullets into his body. They could have just arrested him, even though he hadn’t done a single illegal thing—but they killed him because they felt like it.

My God

Walz: "We sill investigate this. We will not be stonewalled ... this will end when enough American say this will end. Do I have any confidence that Donald Trump will do the right thing? No ... quit referring to these people as law enforcement. They are not law enforcement."

Walz: "I call on all Americans to see the decency this state is exhibiting, and the horrific cruelty, unprofessional, absolute abomination that is passing for what these f--- ICE agents are doing on our streets."

Walz: "It's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of our state, and today that campaigned claimed another life. I've seen the video from several angles and it's sickening. But I have a strong statement here for our federal govt: Minnesota's justice system will have the last word."

This has to stop! MINIMUM demands at this point:
- ICE out of Minnesota now
- arrest and charge the shooters, those associated
- no more funding for ICE, associated depts
- abolish ICE, reallocate funding to real needs
- shut down the government to do so, halt tax payments to do so

"Widzew Lodz rykker ned, rykker neeeeed!"

Makes me homesick for people like this.

Har sett Hansa Rostock i årevis, til og med nede på Kokstad. Veldig tilfeldig.
