Har Aftenposten oversatt «disturbing» til «forstyrrende»?
Det finner jeg i så fall urovekkende.

Funker sikkert om du har problemer med skjoldbruskkjertelen 👍

Det er verdens bok dag i dag. Denne leser jeg! Kan virkelig anbefales. Hvilken leser du? #verdensbokdag

Vi er i den privilegerte posisjonen at vi fortsatt kan huske forrige "uunngåelige" teknologiske paradigmeskifte og den bedritifiserte hengemyra den har sendt verden inn i nå, og vet dermed utmerket godt at samme hvor besnærende det virker, så MÅ vi ikke si ja til alt nytt.

Every tyrant in history has sought to stifle criticism of himself and his regime.

But America was founded on criticism.

American democracy was built on dissent.

Every institution, group, firm, or individual that surrenders to Trump’s wanton tyranny invites more of it.

The Failures of “Centrism” YouTube video by Robert Reich

History teaches us that the way to stand up to a dictator is to fight back against him, not capitulate to him.

Surrendering to tyranny invites more of it.

This moment we're in should not be met with a "moderate" response.

Luckily, some Democrats starting to understand this.

Dear universities and law firms,
You can't "buy Trump off." If you do what he asks, he'll think he owns you and he'll demand more and more. You'll never be done with him. Appeasement is surrender. Resist.
Sincerely,
Mark

Twenty Lessons, read by John Lithgow Key selections from On Tyranny, for viewing and sharing

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

He is a Playmo man, hasn’t got a soul.

***"is this market manipulation?"***

He should be fined by the SEC for making the equivalent of false statements in order to impact markets/stocks. AND he should have charges for insider trading since his billionaire friends just scooped up a ton of their own stock in the last two days clearly knowing he was going to do this.

Også veldig beleilig at DOGE har kuttet stillinger i SEC.

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

Det er jo lov å lure på hvem som visste om Trump sine planer og har fått en god fortjeneste på børsen? Nepobabys, soyttslikkere og broligarker juger og trikserom alt annet, så korrupsjon og insidehandel er vel ikke noe unntak?

Additional small reasons for modest optimism 11 from this week

In many ways this was another horrific week. Like a terrible hurricane, the Trump dictatorship is sweeping more people into its maw while further destroying our public institutions and wrecking what’s left of our civil norms. Yet this week also featured 11 reasons for modest optimism.

Here is my best guidance for action, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons more than eight years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century."

The men disappeared to El Salvador because of their tattoos The Trump administration sent Venezuelans to El Salvador’s most infamous prison. Their families are looking for answers.

It seems ICE had a quota for Venezuelan gang members & filled it by picking up people with tattoos. Rose, hummingbird, soccer, mother, Autism awareness. For that people are taken from their families & sent to spend the rest of their lives in horrifying conditions.
