Hvis du er Barack Obama, hvorfor ikke bruke det til noe viktig når verden brenner?

So, the liberals hail a «liberal» pope who is head of a church that is more reactionary than Trump, that is ruled by men, hypocrites who condemn homosexuality, abortion, condoms etc. Supporting the poor is no excuse for upholding the patriarchy

Trump seems to have listened to Støre and Stoltenberg. He suggests Putin is playing him. No kidding?

What books are you reading/listening to now? I feel we need to read and learn more about both history and the present. I’m astonished - and yet not surprised - how relevant books about and from the 1930s are.

Trump says he’s considering deportlng US citizens to El Salvador gulags. US media goes with: oh, he’s not going to return one man. Are you kidding me? You are not doing your job! This is a five alarm crisis.

Why isn’t anybody pointing out that the production Trump is so nostalgic about is being taken over by robots? Even if he succeeded - which he will not - he wouldn’t bring back jobs. At the same time he is firing real people who is making America great. Scientists, engineers, educators

American companies were in Ukraine when Russia invaded in 2014. There’s no evidence that is going to be a deterrent. Trump did nothing to protect Ukraine during his first term.
