The US embassy in Norway sent a letter to their electricity and heat provider (Hafslund), demanding that they stop any DEI type activities within the company.
Hafslunds’ response was, in short, “we can stop providing power and heat, no problem”.
America is a joke.
The rest of the world is actively rejecting your bullshit, and you are going to be worse off for it.
THANKS WE KNOW THAT PART, CAN YOU TELL US HOW TO FIX IT?
To be fair, Trump is not the source of the problem. He’s a Heritage Foundation puppet, and those psychos kind of have people everywhere right now.
He’s a pretty big catalyst though
Definitely a focal point.
He’s a patsy, I’m grateful that at least it isn’t Vance. Could you imagine a tyrant funded by Billionaires that wasn’t in cognitive decline?
The will and the resources have been there trying to move in this direction for a long time. I do agree that he’s absolutely fast tracked the process. His complete disregard for civility, shameless willingness to grift, and transparently transactional nature have enabled the absolute worst in us. From hateful, racist poor folks to deranged religious nutjobs to narcissistic billionaires - they’ve all been given the green light now.
I just hope that everyone takes note of which side people are on and, when this is all over, make sure that the memory of those who stood on the wrong side of history are so shamed, ostracized, disgraced, and hated that this shit doesn’t happen again.
Oh I mean absolutely start with them as well.
This is the only idea I’ve had so far
Take that, and replace the blade with a giant boulder, then we’re talking
I do like the idea of more pain and fear before death.
Apart from that, they can storm the capitol and stay there until he resigns.
But since this won’t happen any time soon, we have to see millions more posts about trump.
Haven’t you had gun nuts banging on about what you do in this scenario for decades?

Sorry, didn’t know I could flag it.
Oh this must’ve been before they strung his carcass up upside down
You know it’s in a fancy mausoleum these days? Under guard?
It would be justice if that cursed shit hole were leveled to the fucking ground and then the soil burned and poisoned.
The wildest bit of unnecessary censoring I’ve ever seen…
Yeah, I mean, it was a black and white historical photo with no real ‘gore’ but whatever
I meant the censoring of “whore”…
Well one person was pretty darn close to solving the whole issue but they kind of faltered at the last moment.
solving the whole issue
Trump’s inevitable death won’t solve the issues that caused him. I don’t know what will. We’d have to go pretty far down the chain of succession to hit “not a fascist”.
Remember to visit the range on windy days, folks.
I would say politicians are using the rise in anti American sentiment to solidify their positions in more nationalist forms of government. I would warn my comrades in the west. This rise in nationalism can be dangerous. Even if it is directed at being against America (which is good) it can also be leveraged to build fascist policies in your own country. Be wary of your “liberal” politicians and parties. They likely do not have your best interest at heart. They know material conditions will decline with the fall of the American empire. They will do everything they can to keep their power. And they’ll do it off the backs of your working class.
Do not substitute class solidarity for Nationalism. Tarrifs are a direct attack on the working class of the world. We pay those. No matter what country we reside in.
Trump is a joke. And so is the majority of American voters circa 2024. Don’t confuse the situation, however, or you’re just strengthening Trump.
But hey, do as you will. It’s a free world, my friend. They don’t control us, they just try to. Fuck the fascists, and those who would tell us how to speak, act, and think.
Yet, never live in their world, or a world of your own miscreation. We’re better than him, are we not? America is not your enemy, Trump is. His power is fleeting, but you must fight him, not all of us… Or else, all is lost, and all of us lose.
Unite, my friends. Fight the villain, not the masquerade. Or don’t… And find out how far down the rabbit hole we can descend. They want us divided, so you could oblige their demands. It’s up to you.
Trump is just a man. Human being, meat and bone. He’s a symptom of the disease that has been present and growing in the USA for a long time. I think it’s a dangerous oversimplification to believe the US will be healthy once he’s gone.
Valeskog is quoted as saying, “If the U.S. terminates its relationship with the city planning office, the embassy will have difficulty obtaining a building permit if they want to rebuild, for example. That’s their headache, not ours.”
Wonderful! Valeskog, have a beer on me!
Sweden should summon the American ambassador and tell him to stop violating Swedish law. Then threaten to send all embassy staff family members back to the US. Oops, just saw we haven’t appointed an ambassador yet. Sweden should just expel the entire embassy. Don’t come back without an actual ambassador.
He’s lost his fucking mind…
“What a waste it is to lose one’s mind. Or not to have a mind. How true that is.”
― Dan QuayleI think of Trump more in terms of this Hunter S. Thompson quote about Nixon:
He neither drinks nor smokes, they say, and bars make him nervous. Humphrey Bogart would have taken a dim view of Nixon. It was Bogart who said, “You can’t trust a man who doesn’t drink.” And it was Raoul Duke who said, “I’d never buy a used car from Nixon unless he was drunk.”
Trump throws a lot of punches but not many seem to land.
I’m waiting for him to demand those penguin islands produce fewer gay penguins.
When Trump heard that the president is “the leader of the free world”, he took it literally and thinks he’s the ruler of the world.
I like the response from the Swedes, shove it.
Thanks US voters!
Motherfucker needs to look up the definition of a sovereign country. Who am I kidding the stupid fuck doesn’t even know how to read.
Is there a link not behind a paywall?
The United States is requiring businesses and government offices in Stockholm, Sweden, to comply with the Trump administration’s anti-DEI policies, according to Swedish news outlet Dagens Nyheter.
“Stockholm’s urban planning office must not work for diversity, equity, and inclusion,” according to the outlet’s English translation. “The U.S. embassy demands this in a letter with a contract that they expect the city to sign.”
Stockholm’s urban planning councilor Jan Valeskog called the requirement “completely bizarre,” adding, “We will never sign this contract.”
In addition, the U.S. Embassy is requiring Swedish suppliers “to certify that they do not apply certain inclusion programs,” the outlet reported.
The X account @ChrisO_wiki translated more of the report in a post, saying the Swedish government was given 10 days to comply.
“Since February 2025, US embassies around the world have been sending letters to local contractors making similar demands,” the post said. “This seems to be the first time that it’s been reported that a similar letter has been sent to a foreign government organisation.”
Valeskog is quoted as saying, “If the U.S. terminates its relationship with the city planning office, the embassy will have difficulty obtaining a building permit if they want to rebuild, for example. That’s their headache, not ours.”
The X account continued, “The Swedish government says that it would violate Swedish law to comply with such a demand. Commenting on similar letters sent to Swedish businesses, Minister for Gender Equality and Working Life Nina Larsson says: ‘According to the Discrimination Act, Swedish companies are obliged to work preventively and actively to counteract discrimination and promote equal rights – for example based on gender, ethnicity or disability. Otherwise, there may be penalties. Companies should feel secure in the fact that Swedish law is firm. It is also important that we – both politically and from the industries – are clear about this towards foreign clients.’”
Thanks
