“No government — regardless of which party is in power — should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue,” Alan Garber, Harvard’s president, said about President Trump's demands. nyti.ms/4jzSS9W

The Israeli military on Saturday acknowledged that the initial accounts from troops involved in the killing of 15 people in Gaza — who the UN said were rescue workers — had been partially “mistaken.” The assessment came after a video appeared to contradict the military’s earlier version of events.

The U.S. authorities denied entry to a French scientist and then deported him because his phone contained message exchanges with colleagues and friends in which he expressed his “personal opinion” on the Trump administration’s science policies, said the French government. nyti.ms/4iAZR2l

A headline reads: “U.S. Turned Away French Scientist Over Views on Trump Policies, France Says.” More text reads: “The French authorities said the academic had been traveling to a conference near Houston when border officials blocked his entry because of conversations found on his phone.”

The video of Trump’s deportees arriving in El Salvador is horrific. This is 21st century Nazism. Identities concealed, trafficked to a foreign labour camp. No due process, no evidence of crime. Dehumanised. Where is the global outrage? The crime is historic; the normalisation catastrophic.

More asinine cuts.... BBC news >> The cuts have hit the US Forest Service, which maintains thousands of miles of popular hiking trails, even harder. Around 10% of the Forest Service's staff - about 3,400 people, including Ms White and her team - have been fired. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Some universities are scrubbing websites and canceling events to comply with executive orders targeting diversity efforts. Other schools are promising to resist.

Hva skal en Støre eller Listhaug kunne gjøre med matvareprisene, tenker du? Om det er krig og ikke minst globale klimaendringer som driver prisene opp. Er "slutte å kaste penger etter klimatiltak, utviklingshjelp og flyktninger" en god oppskrift? Denne kommentaren fra Financial Times er interessant:

Climate change is pushing up food prices — and worrying central banks

Shifting weather patterns are reducing crop yields and squeezing supplies, creating what could become a permanent source of inflation
