Siden det er DEN dagen minner jeg om at skatt og byråkrati er sivilisasjon.

Eller for å snu setningen:

sivilisasjon forutsetter skatt og byråkrati.

An Israel that was serious about a two state solution would be treating Barghouti as a potential Mandela.

That Israel doesn't exist.

The one that does is trying to kill the man.

Palestine’s most popular leader, Marwan Barghouti, was beaten unconscious and has his ribs broken by Israeli prison guards and his family fears for his life, his son has said, citing evidence given by former Palestinian detainees released this week as part of the ceasefire deal.

Trump is upfront in saying he will use the shutdown to punish Democrats, and here are the receipts. About $27.2 billion cut from Dem districts compared to about $0.7 billion in GOP districts.
We all complain about the media, but need this type of in-depth journalism.

The Trump administration has frozen or canceled nearly $28 billion primarily located in Democratic-led districts, according to an analysis by The New York Times.

As a historian, I can certify that we are in the bad times. But bad times eventually end.
In the meantime:
• Figure out a small way to help someone
• Figure out a small way to fight back
• Figure out a small place to find joy
• Figure out a small way to grow and thrive

And do it often.

Yea, idk I remember saying something about how a lot of people's bar for racism is overt racism it makes a lot of problems invisible. If you're not actively on the receiving end, sure it's invisible and it seems like times were better when you were not actively confronted to take a look at yourself

Jack Tripper @chadstanton.blacksky.app · 17h

I don’t know how to approach “Republicans weren’t racist in the early aughts” as someone who went to Texas during the early aughts and had to debate whether or not Black students were “stealing” people’s spots in class.

Forcing them to watch the boss's speech and telling them they'll get in trouble for making fun of him.

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.

Defense Department sources tell Zeteo that staff have been warned that if they don’t watch or read the speech, or if they speak negatively of it, they could face severe consequences.

Troen på at noen med vold kan tvinges til underkastelse samtidig som man hevder at man aldri vil underkaste seg selv er dessverre en selvmotsigelse som lever i beste velgående.

En tråd som er verdt å lese. Jeg ville ha lagt til (om finansieringsmodeller) at penger motiverer - poenget med å drive business er å "tjene" penger - og at effektene av dette må håndteres. Også fristelsen til de som bestemmer hvor pengene skal brukes til å bruke (litt ekstra) nærmest seg selv.
