1/ If you are feeling overwhelmed by the fast paced of legal news, remember that it’s deliberate. It’s a strategy Trump uses, flooding the zone in hopes that people will tune out. Read what you need to know here to get ready for the week: joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...
Yep…
Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
Hitler was Austrian. As a Scandinavian I think that is an awful concept, but again, it was not invented by the Scandinavians themselves. I also feel that the appropriation of the Viking culture by right wing subcultures is awful.
It was definitely anti authoritarian. Many young men from that movement went to fight in Spain’s civil war. At the same time the Sami people were victims of terrible racism. The truth is never white or black, usually pretty grey.
You are so aggressive. I am not disputing the fact that there were collaborators, I am disputing your statement that “most” Norwegians were Nazi sympathisers. There was a worker’s movement in Sweden since the 1850’s, the Social dems were constituted in late 19th century.
Oh, my. I will have to learn to read then. That would mean that everything I heard from people I grew up with in Scandinavia, was a lie. Mind you, there is a big difference between “most” and”many.”
How do you quantify “very high”? Compared to what numbers? And why on earth should the Norwegians side with the Nazis? Norway is not Austria.
Really? What is your basis for that? The resentment the Norwegians rightly have felt towards Sweden for letting the German troupes pass through Sweden on the way to Norway, should then have been praise instead. Sounds like history revision to me.

Note that I didn't say Trump IS Hitler, just that he was deliberately using language borrowed from Mein Kampf (immigrants "poisoning the blood" of the nation) which foretold extremist intentions

We have to be careful about winning though. A lot of the provisions of the big beautiful bill go off in 2027. If dems are in charge, they take the blame, setting the stage for the Republicans to take control again in 2028. They need to come up with a plan and messaging NOW to combat it.
Debra Shigley racked up 40% of the vote tonight for the Georgia State Senate. This is huge. The last race there had more than a 40-point margin favoring Republicans and she was the lone Dem in a 7-way race. Now headed to a runoff. Go Georgia!
I analyzed and did interviews on Trump’s Putin and European meetings. Discussed all the details and manipulations. Then realized there was a deeper truth: Trump has absolutely no clue what he is doing. joecirincione.substack.com/p/the-idioti...

Read chapter 13 of Craig Unger’s American Kompromat. It describes how Epstein modelled his “model agency” after Trump Models. They brought in very young girls from Eastern Europe to the US. Lied on tourist Visa applications, let them pay rent, put them in debt. Is this in the Epstein files?

Someone should start the Orwell Nobel prize for doing the opposite . Trump would win as most destructive person of the decade .
It’s a Committee that awards the price. The PM is not involved.
Yes, and don’t forget that Norway was occupied by Nazi Germany during WWII. For those who don’t know, Quisling ended up being executed in October 1945.
On Trump’s very insistent “wish” for the Nobel Peace price.
They did, and it took years, if not decades, for the Norwegian Nobel Committee to wash that stain off. In neighbouring Sweden, where the rest of the Nobel prices are given, there was a general feeling of WTF.
You did it! Thank you for voting. Democrat Catelin Drey has flipped an open Iowa state Senate seat, raise a glass! This victory means Republicans no longer hold a supermajority in Iowa.

Well, to be fair, he at least demonstrated some self awareness when he said “we are also OFFENSIVE, we need to be offensive, not just defensive.” He’s the most offensive person I have seen in my lifetime. So there’s that….

I was in the news business for only 4 decades, so maybe I don't know much. But it seems like the transformation of the U.S. into a police state would be worth a headline and a few paragraphs.

Great idea! 😂
Trump’s militarization of Los Angeles seems to have been just the start of an authoritarian takeover of American cities. This is not leadership. This is a scary, unlawful grab for power, and we should all be deeply concerned.
Maybe they used A1?
Don’t they sort of climb from the opposite side? Or is it a coming and going?
My law firm is currently litigating 52 voting and election cases in 23 states. This includes the Ohio case we filed on Friday night and the redistricting case challenging Texas' new congressional map. I am thankful for our clients willing to wage these fights. They, not the lawyers, are the heroes.

Texas Republicans rammed their gerrymander through. Now some are realizing they may have handed themselves a few seats in the House, but put others at risk. Rigging maps doesn’t always go as planned. Now it’s on us to fight alongside Texas Dems and take those seats back.
No lies told here.
The PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is planning to use the US military to invade US cities that vote Democratic because, in addition to raping children, two things that animate him most are rectifying narcissistic injury and hating Black people. Call your reps 202-224-3121 #RemoveTrump
If a president wanted to become effectively a dictator, he’d likely: 1. Purge govt of non loyalists 2. Weaponize law against opponents 3. Use military to police opposition strongholds 4. Threaten media, schools, businesses w penalties to get them to heel 5. Change election rules in his favor.
That aged poorly.
Couldn’t agree more. Probably the influence stopped where the bucks came in.

They’re really just a bunch of narcissistic quasi intellectuals. Money, clearly, does not come with wisdom.
Many Americans look to Europe nowadays as a place to escape to. It’s health care, seemingly order compared to the US, has a certain allure. What got them there? Actually taxes, regulations and a sense of community. All of what many Americans hate. Money rules the USA. Doesn’t work very well.

This is an important "clip". Elias makes the very valid point that, during the 2016 Election, the media (and rational people on the whole) pretended the campaign's rhetoric was a pipe dream, a joke, something that couldn't happen b/c "Who says that??" He does. He did. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2bc...

It’s all about sending a message. The raid is the message. It’s all about retribution. He is the retribution president. As with troops on our streets, it’s all about normalizing fascism. This is fascism. Fascism is here. Too many Americans are too “busy” to care. But it’s here.

James Madison was elected in 1812 during the War of 1812. Abraham Lincoln was elected in 1864 during the Civil War. FDR was elected in 1944 during WWII. JBJ & Nixon were elected in 1964 & 1972 during the Vietnam War. George W. Bush was elected in 2004 during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
