Breaking: FOREST OCCUPATION ESTABLISHED OUTSIDE OF COPENHAGEN!
We are stopping the highway to Kalundborg from being build! The highway is build to the profit of Novo Nordisk and Mærsk, who have base in Kalundborg, and have long wished for a highway to transport goods and workers faster to their factories and harbours. We refuse to let our forests be asphalted for the profit of warmongering and anti-feminist mega companies.
Finally somebody said it better 😅🤣

The photo is by Toby Shepheard for the Sunday Times.

Things no one will mention at your funeral:

- participated in standups
- increased to shareholder value
- got in expense report on time all the time
- had 90% code coverage on all PRs
- clocked your time on time all the time

This is not an exhaustive list by any means.

The contrast between Barack Obama’s clear respect for the work of US attorneys, the FBI and then … the FOTUS.

“In the past few months, Trump has fired FBI staff involved in the investigation of Russia’s reported involvement in the 2016 election. He recently fired FBI staff involved in investigating the Jan. 6th insurrection in 2021. Now he has called for the DOJ to investigate Letitia James, New York Attorney General, who filed a successful lawsuit against Trump for fraud.” - Women Forward
