Bestemor så sin mor for siste gang da hun var seks år gammel. De var fattige, hun hadde fire barn fra før og var gravid med nummer fem. Hun forsøkte å ta en ulovlig abort, og døde.

Dette er verdenen KrF vil tilbake til. Hvis de synes det er ubehagelig å stå for får de endre mening da.

«Abort fram til fødsel» finnes ikke. Svangerskapsavbrudd finnes. I senere faser av svangerskapet er det snakk om en fødsel. De som må gjennom det har havnet i forferdelige situasjoner, og det er galt å få det til å høres ut som en lettvint løsning for egoistiske kvinner.
Hører på VGs podcast der Hanne Skartveit og Frøy Gudbrandsen hisser seg veldig opp over at SV vil tillate abort helt fram til fødsel, men det kan vel ikke stemme? Det er vel basert på noen KRF-eres tolkning av WHOs retningslinjer så vidt jeg forstår? Noen SV-ere som kan oppklare?
Har du sjekket det for trips? Det er litt vanskelig å si fra bildene, men det kan se ut som trips-skade, og de etterlater av og til sånne små svarte prikker.

“We are told that AI is inevitable, that we must adapt or be left behind. But universities are not tech companies. Our role is to foster critical thinking, not to follow industry trends uncritically.”

The news story that reveals Wes Streeting’s puberty-blocker ban to be nothing to do with “protecting children” and everything to do with Wes Streeting and Keir Starmer being deeply transphobic bigots…

Such a perfect example of what we all give up when we refuse to address basic inequalities. I don't want to live in a country where all the public space is militarized to keep hungry people from stealing food, just give them money to buy food!

This is largely it. It didn't matter what Dems said or pushed. The GOP? Trump drove the narrative of what the Dems were supposedly "emphasizing", often claiming it was things they never ever supported. Meanwhile things like Project 2025 were often dismissed as Dems being hysterical
This right here, this exact sentence, is THE problem in American political journalism.

The IRA *was* cheap energy and good jobs! That was the whole bill! Democrats did precisely what political pundits are telling them to do and the pundits just ignore it.

Bli meddommer.
Det er for lite mangfold blant dommere i Norge. Det å sette seg ned på do er ikke en invitasjon til noe og å stappe pikken inn i munnen til en fremmed er ikke å "prøve seg"????

Kjærkommen FOR WHOM? Er ikkje alle LEIE av å alltid debattere det same?
Nei. Det har utløst en ekkel stråmannsdebatt om ytringsfrihet mens det vi burde hatt var en hard debatt om meningsinnhold.

Vårt offenlige ordskifte er på ville veier når absolutt alle diskusjoner om fæle meninger blit en avledende debatt om ytringsfrihet, ytringsklima og kansellering.

Sykt at vi kan forvente alt dette fra offeret, men samtidig kan vi ikke forvente at folk sjekker om at den andre faktisk vil ligge med dem.

If you fail to argue back, hard, against the confusion of outright lies and appeals to fearful prejudice that make up the central appeal of "populism", you will only make it worse, for everyone.
Terrific piece from John Springford - a cool-headed analysis on the interplay between trade openness, migration policies, and the rise of populism.

Required reading in my view.

N=2 but would say the success of D66 and CDA in the Dutch campaign confirm John's thesis.

Det var veldig mange som mente Amrit Kaur burde gå av, blant annet jeg. Jeg kan ikke huske at noen gjorde et poeng ut av vi ikke var meningsberettighet fordi vi ikke var medlemmer av Rød Ungdom. Men her er det visst et veldig viktig poeng. www.aftenposten.no/meninger/led...

I can answer this. I interviewed Peterson's tailor a few years ago, although the interview was never published because I fell behind on work. Here is the story of this suit. 🧵

IMO democracy becomes impossible in the absence of any social or political norms against lying.
Kristi Noem: "No American citizens have been arrested or detained. We focus on those who are here illegally. And anything you would hear or report that would be different than that is simply not true and false reporting."

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.

Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

This is incredible
🚨 In Newcastle today, Rising Tide painted “TAX ME” on a coal ship named Climate Justice, calling for a 78% fossil fuel profits tax to fund a just transition for workers + communities. Australia’s biggest polluters pay less tax than nurses.
