The Norwegian government is staying fairly quiet for now, but as a sign of the shifting vibe here the former head of Norway’s armed forces has come out and called the US a “neo-fascist banana republic” and a “hostile great power without norms”. www.dn.no/politikk/tid...
Tidligere forsvarssjef om Trumps USA: – Neo-fascistisk bananrepublikk (+)
Tidligere forsvarssjef Sverre Diesen mener USA er blitt «en normløs og fiendtlig innstilt stormakt», og advarer samtidig mot å feste vår lit til Europa. Harald Sunde mener det haster med en plan B.

Americans are struggling to afford groceries, and the Trump administration's cuts to nutritional assistance in the "Big Beautiful Bill" made things worse. Instead of helping them afford food, the USDA is trying to hide how many people, exactly, need help. www.motherjones.com/food/2026/01...
Trump's USDA is hiding the data on food stamp cuts
The agency's food insecurity survey was pointless "liberal fodder," a spokesperson said.

This is great news (although the city should never have gone back on its word); the sad news is that, per WiB, at least (meaning almost certainly more) 228 unsheltered people have died this year, including many by violence. That is an appalling and shameful number.

We deserve better. Dehumanizing our neighbors by using photos of them on their worst days without their consent is unacceptable. We have a lot of work to do to address homelessness, but this only moves us further from that goal by othering real people in an attempt to score cheap political points.

My bff paid $3600/month for childcare from pretty much age 1-5 at a daycare center in Seattle. I would assume lots of people get help with childcare or paying for it from family because it’s so insane.
And as a reference, I’m not that old, but tuition for a year at UW for me was $3900.

Seattle Spent Millions on Hotel Rooms to Shelter Unhoused People. Then It Stopped Filling Them.
Early last year, the city signed a $2.7 million lease extension to continue using a hotel’s rooms as shelter space. Yet despite committing to pay the rent, the city stopped sending people there.
