"What's outrageous? Starbucks wages!!!" Fast food workers have not been organised in unions in the US. This means, in some cases they only make half the salaries of organised fast food workers in Denmark (e.g. at McDonald's). Half! As a result, in the US, Starbuck's CEO Brian Niccol makes more than 6000 times more than the average Starbucks worker. Zohran Mamdani and Bernie Sanders are in front of this fight. May they finally cause real change in America. ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾 ✊🏼 ✊🏿
I cannot wait for the war crime trial, where Pete Hegseth can present his current position, "Yes I gave the order to kill every civilian on the boat without due process, but I did not anticipate that Admiral Bradley would kill civilians without due process in… eerrrh… in an illegal way." Good luck with that.
#mastotips I sometimes notice people deleting posts instead of editing them. So here is a tip: On Mastodon, posts move around like e-mails in the mail system. However, if you edit a post, you are able to correct the error in posts already sent. So that is good. However, if you delete your post and create a new post, there is now two posts in the system. And people may begin to interact with the deleted post only to see it suddenly disappear. This is obviously confusing, so editing is better.
Hitler called Jews “rats”. Trump calls Somalians “garbage”. The purpose is the same: To dehumanize a minority in order to justify violence against the minority. Every Prime Minister and every President in the democratic world must condemn this. We know where this leads and we cannot accept this. Never again.
Trump has now spent 317 days ending the Ukraine war in 24 hours. Every day Trump cowers to Putin instead of helping Ukraine, more Ukrainians die. Trump is not stopping the killing. He is the cause of the killing.
Steve Bannon claims the US should side with Russia, because Russia is a “Christian nation”, while Norway and Sweden was “on the side of the Nazis” in World War 2. This is of course blatantly false. Norway and Denmark were overrun by the enormous military forces of the Nazis and Sweden claimed neutrality, yes, but for 5 years, Norway and Denmark had fierce resistance movements fighting the Nazis under the direction and aid of Great Britain, while Sweden helped train fighters and hid the jews.
Boom! 💥 Senator Mark Kelly has had it with the wannabe dictator trying to intimidate everyone! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
While Putin always claims Ukraine does not hit anything inside Russia, the profits from his largest oil producer Rosneft has now dropped 70 percent year over year. Not 7 percent — a 70 percent loss for a state which has let Putin's war consume 40 percent of the state budget. I am convinced, Putin loses in 2026.
Trump realizing that the shooter in Washington D. C. was Afghan, and then immediately moving to deport everyone from what Trump calls "third world countries", is a sad example of how the racist mind works. It is the equivalent of deporting everyone named Brian, if one guy named Brian murdered someone. I hope Trump does not notice, the murderer has black hair, because 85 percent of the US population has it, and that is a lot of deportations.
This warms my heart. ♥️ In Denmark, on the island of Fanø, voters elected Benjamin Strand Andersen for the city council. Benjamin lives with Cerebral Palsy, a condition which means his voice shakes and his gait is not perfect — something people sometimes mistake for mental impairment. But on Fanø, the locals know him as a good guy, and he won 1 of only 11 city council seats for the environmentally focused party @npub10380...al8h. Where there is a will, there is a way — also in politics.
