Hunder av enhver størrelse kan kjøre New Yorks undergrunnsbaner -- så lenge man 'bærer' dem i en 'bag.

Denne videoen viser noen eksempler på det.

BREAKING: Per WaPo, a new whistleblower report alleges a former DOGE member said he kept his SSA computer & credentials, giving him “God-level” access to Social Security systems.

Meanwhile, Trump wants to force every state to rely on SSA data for voter roll purges under the SAVE America Act. 1/

Dems call for probe into 'troubling pattern' of legal wins for Pam Bondi's brother Two Democrats are calling on the DOJ internal watchdog to launch a probe into what they say is a "troubling pattern" of favorable outcomes for Brad Bondi's clients.

Pam Bondi has failed to explain how her brother and his corporate clients continue to achieve unexpected and favorable outcomes in cases in which the Bondi Justice Department intervenes.

@congressmin.bsky.social and I are urging the DOJ Inspector General to launch an investigation.

Strange how every “America First” move somehow ends up helping Moscow. What a coincidence.

Nestekjærligheten er KrFs utgangspunkt Vi må møte barn som er usikre på eget kjønn med respekt og rause kjønnsroller, samtidig som vi ivaretar andres rettigheter.

KrF (ikke betalingsmur).

KrF fortsetter å sitere Helen Joyce som autoritet, og viser partiet kun er opptatt av cherry picking av argumenter, og egen variant av amerikansk kulturkrig.

For KrF er kjønnsinkongruente barn

"Parents wept over their children’s bodies. Crushed desks and blood-stained backpacks poked through the rubble." This is not how you encourage the people to rise up. Freaking monsters.

"This is why a lot of people feel betrayed. He ran on 'no more wars.' Then we have one where we can't clearly define why he did it."

I think the MAGA-Rogan split can be theorized this way:

A DOGE staffer testified that a documentary about Jewish women used as slave labor during the Holocaust was targeted for termination because it was "inherently related to DEI."

Odd, since it was just a few hours ago that Sec'y of Energy Wright deleted a tweet saying the Navy had shepherded an oil tanker through Hormuz

The U.S. Built a Blueprint to Avoid Civilian War Casualties. Trump Officials Scrapped It. The Pentagon dismantled its civilian protection mission as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made “lethality” a top priority and the Trump administration reorganized national security around two principl...

Just out @propublica.org: How did the Pentagon make the horrible mistake that left more than 150 school children dead? Perhaps because it cancelled an effort to limit such harm in favor of Hegseth’s lust for “lethality.”

Iran’s Cheap, Plentiful Weaponry Puts US Military Under Unprecedented Strain As the conflict extends towards a third week, an arsenal of attack drones and ballistic missiles has helped make Tehran unlike any adversary the US has faced.

The US has burned through over 1,000 Patriot interceptors ($4 million each) to stop an onslaught of Iranian drones ($20k to $50k each).

The Unbelievable Madness of Our War With Iran Last year, I warned about the possibility that Israel might drag the United States into a regional conflict. What’s happening now is worse than I could have ever imagined.

Leaders around the world appear to be struggling to respond to an American administration that is no longer constrained by pretending to care about human lives, the law, or the cost of its hubris.

Since we, the American people, bought this $6.9M worth of lobster tails and $15.1M worth of ribeyes, can we at least get a picture of the spread? I want to have some vicarious enjoyment of it. Let's see the Surf n' Turf.

Also if they're paying $10/lb bulk for ribeye that's 1.5M lbs of meat. WTF?

‘Age Verification’ could force trans people to out themselves to use the internet Automated online ID checking systems add new potential dangers to having a mismatching ID.

‘Age Verification’ will force trans people to out themselves to use the internet. After Kansas suddenly invalidated hundreds of trans peoples’ licenses, experts warn the discrimination is set to extend to online spaces.

I riffed on this a little yesterday, including how I wish politicians who've bought into the sports stuff would talk about trans rights as a whole. Thread: bsky.app/profile/park...

Fox News erased fallen soldiers to make Trump look better The network apologized for airing old footage of Trump at Dover. But it has a pattern of covering for him

No American president has ever worn a baseball cap - especially his own $55 merchandise - at a dignified transfer. Like any good propaganda outlet designed to protect a supreme leader, Fox replaced the clip with one showing Trump in a better light.

The laws that sex workers really want | Juno Mac YouTube video by TED

Jeg så denne videoen for en stund siden og synes den var bra. Juno nevner også den nordiske modellen, som vi har i Norge nå, og hvordan den skader sexarbeidere.

«Diktanalyse» (dvs. grundig lesning av tekst) blir stadig viktigere

I find it extremely difficult to believe that anyone experiencing what honestly looks like the apocalypse is going to regard it as a form of liberation or that anyone responsible for it actually cares about how Iranians regard it at all.

can't help but notice whose losses are expressed in dollars and whose losses are expressed in lives
