Palæstina er fortsat stadig besat, Israel har stadig tusindvis af gidsler, folk er stadig fordrevet fra deres hjem på Vestbredden osv.

Men vores regering vil hjælpe deres Israelske venner:

Nope, you make protest obstructive and annoying you lose the good will of the general population.
When they ring their local member to complain - they dont tell the local member to deal with the issues raised by the protesters, they tell them to deal with the protesters.

Inflationen er under kontrol. Men fødevarepriserne gør ondt på lavindkomstgrupperne. Der er store forskelle i danskernes købekraft: På det private arbejdsmarked er reallønnen ca. 4 pct. højere end i 2021, mens købekraften for overførselsmodtagerne er næsten 5 pct. lavere end i 2021 #dkøko #dkpol

My colleague, MP Victoria Velasquez, has been boarded and unlawfully detained by Israel in international waters while attempting to sail food and medicine to Gaza.
I expect our government to demand the immediate release of Victoria and the other activists, and to condemn Israel’s crimes. #dkpol

Antarktis har længe været betragtet som mere stabilt end Arktis, men i dag er billedet ændret: Havis forsvinder, temperaturer stiger også her, isstrømme accelererer, og smeltevand trænger ned i gletsjernes sprækker, hvilket får dem til at glide hurtigere ud i havet.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session.

Want to know why?

Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.

Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.
