"Norway’s Arctic ice keeps melting, its glaciers keep shrinking and the winter season is already much shorter than it used to be. The most extensive report on Norway’s climate in 10 years was released on Monday, and documents how the country is already going though dramatic change with more to come.

The Federal Aviation Administration is forcing airlines to cut 10% of their flights at 40 of the busiest airports across the nation to reduce pressure on air traffic controllers during the ongoing government shutdown and ensure that flying remains safe.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection officers have increasingly gone into neighborhoods, targeting people for arrest while they were selling tamales, attending church, or doing landscape or construction work.

"New data from the National Association of Realtors shows that between mid-2024 and mid-2025, the typical age of a first-time buyer reached a record high of 40. The median age for all buyers rose to an all-time high of 59, up from 47 in 2019.

"The share of first-time buyers in the market has contracted by 50% since 2007 – right before the Great Recession. The implications for the housing market are staggering. Today's first-time buyers are building less housing wealth and will likely have fewer moves over a lifetime as a result."

Norway's goals were to be a good ally for the US & NATO, contribute to the international fight against terrorism and toward building a democratic Afghan state. The first two were largely achieved, but Afghanistan is today an authoritarian state where women are subject to totalitarian control.

Norway - "The new Gender Balance Act was passed by the Storting almost two years ago. The law came into effect in the new year. It initially required that limited liability companies with more than 100 million in revenue should have at least 40 percent of each gender on the board."

Despite threats to disqualify them, several contestants walked out of a Miss Universe event in solidarity with Miss Mexico, after an official from host Thailand berated Miss Mexico for failing to post promotional content. When she objected, the official called security & threatened the contestants.

The first teaser for “Michael,” the long-waited Michael Jackson biopic, is out:

"I learned the hard way, through Obama and 'The Squad' and every other charismatic sell-out, that actions matter more than words. Election Day is but a day. The structural stranglehold of the mafia state can undo the will of the people. When Mamdani is in office, I will judge him by his deeds."

Without a doubt with Pelosi. She's gotten away with so much, it's staggering.

People are seen filming the agents in the car and are heard yelling “there’s a baby in the back!” as the agents drive away. Do parents of toddlers generally keep hammers & rocks within arm's reach while driving? 👇🏼 DHS claimed a man "got out of his vehicle wielding a hammer and throwing rocks ..."

Rare earth elements are vital for many everyday technologies, like smartphones. China controls the world's supply. "That's why you see the EU, Nato, the US Defense Department and Mr Trump, trying to get this material."

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

The more I've thought about the removing the fascist child rapist crime syndicate from our government problem, the less and less I'm convinced that the goal is to say things that will convince skeptics. The goal isn't to convince nazis and their enablers, it's to activate everyone else.

Of note, from yesterday: bsky.app/profile/sara...

Yeah this is the correct read of Pritzker. It is clear when the chips are down, he's going to defend the fascist system he is always pretending he is railing against. Not exactly a huge surprise a billionaire is a gaslighter I suppose.

Indeed. Certainly fair.

A helpful exercise in politics is when you are confronted with a series of choices, ask yourself why those are the choices. Because there are always a ton of other choices.

This guy isn't in his position because of some weird force outside of the party. He is where he is because he ran unopposed and not a single Democrat has called for him to step down. People treat it as though they are negotiating with an immovable object.

Bill Gates gave Kamala Harris 50 million dollars. When this news story came out, I did not see a single commentator call for an investigation into why Kamala would take this money. This is from someone whose connections with Epstein were so damning, his own wife cited it for why they divorced.

Did they complain when Clinton spoke at the 2024 convention? Have they said anything about some of their favorite groups, including Indivisible being funded by Reid Hoffman? People say things like this to me and I honestly don't believe it at all. These aren't small things I'm citing.

Again, when you are presented with choices by our political system, you should question why those are the choices you are given. "Democrats say 'Release the files' vs. Republicans say 'Not release the files'." Didn't the Democrats have these files in 2021 with full control of the government?

Corruption aside, I know why we don't talk about how the entire political system is compromised by a small cabal of child rapists. It is literally horrifying to contemplate.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Judge Gettleman's order mirrors a similar order entered by a federal judge in New York requiring ICE to improve conditions in holding cells there. These conditions are due to the blitz in immigration enforcement; DHS is rounding up more people than can be processed humanely.

Finally, Judge Gettleman addresses significant accusations about ICE's process, including that ICE is falsely coercing people into deportations, that people's locations were not entered in the public locator system, and that people were told to sign documents they couldn't read.

Democrats beholden to pro-Israel donors aren't going to touch Trump as long as these extremists perceive him as instrumental to their goals.¹

The party has never been divided against itself at the national level. There has not been even one member of Congress in their respective chambers who have called for Jeffries or Schumer to step down.

City council and mayor's office are now entirely women by the way. Is there anything like that anywhere in the country?

Yes, and voters noticed. You can't (accurately) call something an existential threat, use none of your power to stop the existential threat, and say you're delighted to reach across the aisle to work with the existential threat. The result was voters stopped believing it was an existential threat.

The views aren't out of sync because what people noticed most is not that officials failed, but that they barely tried. It was the lack of urgency and effort, not the lack of neat and tidy results, that gave people pause. Incompetence would be trying and failing. This was complicity.

Some folks don't like to confront problems when there's time enough to stop them.
