Kan melde at PISA-krisa er verre enn noen ante og strekker seg langt opp i akademia. Jeg tok nrk’s eksempeloppgaver fra Pisa og fikk GALT på den som handlet om å avveie miljø- og økonomihensyn i havvind, enda jeg er økonomiprofessor med tretti års erfaring i miljøøkonomi.

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/

What an image! Venezuelan men who narrowly avoided being imprisoned by Trump in El Salvador without trial (saved by the Supreme Court) spelled out an SOS to a @reuters.com camera drone observing the Bluebonnet ICE facility. 11 days ago, buses to the airport were turned around at the last second.

A picture shows 32 men arranging themselves into an SOS on the ground of a prison yard. The ground is bare earth. All the men are wearing red or orange prison jumpsuits.

Just so it’s clear, the government wanted to oversee hiring and employment at a *private* institution in order to implement a purity test. When the institution refused, they took away money for life saving research (cancer etc). That’s some fascist shit.

This is terrifying. This could be me. This person was born here, brown, was nearly deported. “Let me be clear: You do not need a passport to live in this country. Millions of Americans have never had one. It's not required for citizenship. It’s not even required to vote.”

My friend was nearly deported in her own damn country.
She's 43. Born and raised in Miami, Florida. Both her parents are from Colombia and U.S citizens.
My beautiful friend, A U.S. citizen. Perfect English. Her Spanish? Pretty rough. And yet...
She was driving when she got stopped at an immigration checkpoint.
The officer told her she "matched the description of people they were detaining and deporting."
She asked, "Deporting? I was born here. Where are you going to deport me to Miami-Dade?"
He asked for her passport.
She said, "I don't have one. Never needed one."
His response?
"Well, you don't have a passport and you match the description."
The description being: brown and breathing, 1 guess?
Let me be clear:
You do not need a passport to live in this country.
Millions of Americans have never had one.

The description being: brown and breathing, 1 guess?
Let me be clear:
You do not need a passport to live in this country.
Millions of Americans have never had one.
It's not required for citizenship.
It's not even required to vote.
But suddenly, if your skin tone or last name isn't
"American enough," you need to carry documentation like we're living under an authoritarian regime?
She was understandably pissed.
She asked him, "So because I look Latina, that's all the proof you need?"
His response, " Well, again you dont have a passport and you matched the description "
They let her go. With a warning.
A warning.
For what? For not carrying a passport?
For daring to exist in her brown skin without papers in hand?
She now needs to carry her passport everywhere she goes, not to leave the country, but to prove she belongs in the country where she was born.
What the hell are we doing?

Are we really okay with turning the U.S. into a place where citizenship is judged by appearance?
Where being brown is enough to get detained?
Where "you match the description"
becomes the new 'show me your papers? *if tou know you know.
Sound familiar? It should.
That's how it started in Nazi Germany.
And before anyone says I'm being
dramatic....remember, the Holocaust didn't start with gas chambers. It started with suspicion. With documentation. With exclusion. With silence.
This isn't about immigration anymore. This is about racial profiling. Xenophobia. Authoritarian policing. And it's happening right now, in the so-called land of the free.
You want to know how fascism creeps in? It's this.
It's checkpoints. It's warnings. It's deciding who
"looks" American and who doesn't.
So here's a warning back:
If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention.
And if you think this can't happen to you, just wait until someone decides you don't belong either.

#Equality in hourly pay, linked to high #union density and strong coordination in wage bargaining, is the main reason for lower earnings inequality in the #Nordic countries. Magne Mogstad, Kjell G Salvanes @nhhecon.bsky.social, Gaute Torsvik cepr.org/voxeu/column... #EconSky

Graph of the trends in union density and bargaining coverage in the US, UK, Continental Europe, and Nordic Countries.

The Nordic countries appear to have developed a social and economic model that combines prosperity with equality. This column identifies four key pillars of the Nordic model: (1) substantial public investment in essential services, (2) influential labour unions, (3) high public expenditure on social insurance, and (4) high and progressive taxation. Equality in hourly pay, linked to high union density and strong coordination in wage bargaining, is the main reason for lower earnings inequality in the Nordics. Further research is needed to determine the implications of this for productivity and growth and whether the model is replicable.

It's clear that the Trump administration denied due process to the migrants it banished to El Salvador *precisely because* any measure of judicial oversight would've proved their innocence immediately. Deported, imprisoned, and condemned to hard labor—for a soccer tattoo. slate.com/news-and-pol...

When Donald Trump threatens student protests, consider why: throughout modern history, student movements have repeatedly been the catalyst that toppled dictatorships. Authoritarian leaders fear campus activism precisely because it works. Below is a list of 36 student-led pro-democracy movements.🧵

A screenshot of a social media post from Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) dated March 4, 2025, at 4:30 AM. The post states:

“All Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests. Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on on the crime, arrested. NO MASKS! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
