I min faste spalte skriver jeg denne gang om ett av de viktigste aspektene ved MAGA-revolusjonen: angrepet på borgerrettighetene i USA. Voting Rights Act fra 1965, kalt borgerrettighetsæraens "kronjuvel", ble i forrige uke kastrert i en historisk (in a bad way) dom i Høyesterett.
Trump utnytter storpolitikk til å ta strupetak på eget demokrati. Den viktigste stemmemuligheten i en av fire stater skal forbys? Og han undergraver all teknologi som brukes ved valg i USA.
Marc Elias Says Trump’s Plan to Shutdown Mail-In Voting is ‘Very Alarming’
“He is going to shut down the … method of voting that Democrats disproportionately rely on versus Republicans.”
"Who, if not President Trump, deserves the Nobel Peace Prize?"
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev calls for President Trump to receive a Nobel Peace Prize for achieving the "historic" peace deal.
Actor Jeff Daniels on Donald Trump’s 2nd term: “We’ve lost decency. We’ve lost civility. We’ve lost respect for the rule of law. We’ve normalized verbal abuse. We’ve normalized bullying. Out the window goes character, integrity. We’re supposed to elect the best of us, not the worst of us. He’s everything that’s wrong with not just America but being a human being.”
Høyresida tåler ikke «LO sin makt i norsk politikk. På høyresida er fagbevegelsen ikke en legitim maktfaktor. Hver gang LO utøver noen form for makt på vegne av sine medlemmer, regnes det som suspekt på grensen til korrupt».

Gary Lineker has had an extraordinary career on and off the pitch. A brilliant sportsman, an outstanding broadcaster and a wonderful human being.
For millions of people, @GaryLineker is the face of Match of the Day, but for millions more he is also the face of humility, warmth and decency.
He had the courage to defend the humanity of refugees and to speak out against the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza. That should be recognised, remembered and celebrated.
Gary will be a huge loss to the BBC, but we will never forget the compassion he has shown for others.
Thank you Gary.
