Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions – rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking concrete steps to make sure all students at Harvard can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope other institutions follow suit.
Last night, something incredible finally happened. @maddow did what no other news anchor on ANY MAINSTREAM NETWORK thus far has had the courage to do: and laid out how the Trump administration is doing EVERY POSSIBLE THING to assist Vladimir Putin & Russia. The Kremlin OWNS THEM.
Trump and his team used the entire spectrum of abusive tactics: gaslighting, victim blaming, forced gratitude, manipulation.
And it wasn't just what we all felt through our screens, ChatGPT came to these conclusions.
Analysis through AI shows the following key points:
— Blaming the victim for their situation:
“You allowed yourself to be in a very bad position” — this is a classic phrase of an abuser, Trump says to Zelensky. Blaming the victim for suffering, and also blaming them for Russia occupying you and killing your people.
— Pressure and forced “gratitude”:
Toxic Vance demands that Zelensky say “thank you” — this is a terrible technique, forcing the victim to thank for the help that she desperately needs. Then such toxic people accuse her of ungratefulness if she tries to defend her rights.
— Manipulation of the concept of “peace”:
Trump declares that Zelensky “is not ready for peace.” But by this he means the capitulation of Ukraine. This is a typical manipulation - replacing the concept of “just peace” with the concept of “surrender.”
— Refusal to recognize the reality of war:
Trump constantly says that Zelensky has no cards, that without us you have no cards. This is another trick of the abuser - to devalue the efforts of the victim, claiming that she is powerless without the mercy of a “savior.”
— Devaluation of the victims of war:
“If you have a ceasefire, you have to accept it so that the bullets stop flying and your people stop dying.” But Trump ignores that a ceasefire without guarantees is just a respite for Russia to regroup and strike again.
— Dominance tactics:
Trump constantly interrupts, does not let Zelensky speak. He says: “No, no, you said it anyway.” This is a deliberate use of psychological pressure to establish a hierarchy where Zelensky is a subordinate.
— Coercion to surrender under the guise of “diplomacy”:
Vance claims that “the path to peace lies through diplomacy.” This is a classic tactic when the aggressor is given the opportunity to continue his aggression without resistance.
— Projection and substitution of concepts:
Trump declares: “You are playing with the lives of millions of people.” But this is exactly what he does, shifting the responsibility to Zelensky.
— Creating the illusion that Zelensky owes America something:
The US is indeed helping Ukraine, but providing this assistance in the form of “you are obliged to obey, otherwise you will receive nothing” is a form of financial and military coercion, not partnership.
— Devaluation of Ukrainian resistance:
Trump declares that “if it were not for our weapons, this war would have been over in two weeks.” This is an attempt to completely erase the merits of Ukrainians and present them as completely dependent on the USA.
You have now seen classic dirty tricks from people who are not naturally endowed with empathy. They do not know how to "get into position" and "stand in place". They only see their own benefit and "greatness". They are not interested in Ukrainian tears and even less so in Ukrainian freedom. This is global abuse. Those who have encountered this in their personal lives will understand - you cannot stay there, because you will lose yourself. Only move uphill!
Ryssland har invaderat Ukraina och många bilder och klipp som sprids i sociala medier får nu stor spridning. Flera av dessa är tagna ur sin kontext.

Akkurat passe lang. For turen fra trappa der hjemme til døra på jobb. Eller trikketuren. Elbilturen. Eller sykkelturen. Seriøs. Og litt useriøs. #Dybdelæring
