This is illegal and a war crime! Other countries need to protest loudly and take action to pressure Israel to end the illegal occupation

[Hanne Lien @Hanne_Lien]

@brandwoodphotos Just proof you did a good job! Be proud and keep this win as a good memory for the next day, and the next, and the next. I have no idea who you are but I am so happy for you!

Zelensky has thanked Trump, Congress, and the American people many times.

But let's be clear: when Trump and Vance said that THEY are trying to help Ukraine right now, and need to be thanked for the work personally, there are reasons to wonder. 1/ THREAD

Germany invaded Poland -- but blamed Poland for starting the war, and it remained a Hitler talking point for years.

Russia invaded Ukraine -- but blamed Ukraine for starting the war, and it remained a Putin talking point for years.

And Donald Trump just repeated it.

Neo-Nazi terrorist and convicted mass murderer Anders Breivik, who killed 77 people in Norway in 2011, cited this same Napoleon quote in his manifesto.

[Ramy Abdu| رامي عبده @RamAbdu]

The horrifying scenes of released Palestinian detainees from Israeli prisons keep unfolding.
No one in the world comments.
It’s Israel—the Western world’s project in the heart of the Arab world.

2 died of Ebola: They said Obama should resign.

4 died in Benghazi: They had Hillary testify for 11 hours, held 33 hearings, and launched a 4-year probe.

881,776 Covid deaths, an armed insurrection & theft of classified documents: They cheered, and made Trump a dictator.

[Beatrice Fihn @BeaFihn]

Finally. Now bring in the aid and let journalists and investigators in to Gaza to help report and document every single war crime.

[Adam Parkhomenko @AdamParkhomenko]

holy shit snl 😂😂😂

[Jan Egeland @NRC_Egeland]

We have long received assurances that aid work would be facilitated by Israel: It has not been.
NRC had lined up hundreds of trucks over summer: only 2 made it through.

The verdict of history will be harsh on those who were bystanders when thousands of children were killed.

It is shocking & shameful that the US goes out of its way in the NSM20 report to ignore the reality on the ground in Gaza - including evidence provided by humanitarian organizations on the arbitrary denial of access.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

A British writer penned the best description of Donald Trump I’ve ever read:

“Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?”

A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.

Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.

Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.

There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.

And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down.

So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:

• Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.

• You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.

This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum.

God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.

And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created?' If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.”

Det som er så ille med Per-Willy Amundsen er at han mener de tingene der. Han er en jævla rasist, i natt glapp det. Han har sletta kommentaren, men angrer ikke. Slusa har åpna og flere rasister har hengt seg på og skaden har skjedd. Sånn forsøpler man offentlig debatt.

Jeg kjenner jeg blir litt matt av politikere som skal ut og kritisere KI i skolen ved å lire av seg flåsete utsagn og klisjeer som ikke er annet en falske dikotomier, og uten å ha satt seg inn i HVORDAN det skal innføres, og HVA som skal innføres. 1/
