Mitä jutussa sanotaan:

"Tulkkauskustannukset ovat murunen hyvinvointialueiden kaikista menoista. Esimerkiksi Varsinais-Suomen koko toiminnan kustannukset vuodelta 2024 olivat 2 589 miljoonaa, josta 3,8 miljoonan tulkkaus- ja käännösmenot ovat reilu tuhannesosa."

Mitä otsikossa sanotaan:

"Tulkkeihin uppoaa miljoonia euroja veronmaksajien rahaa - valtio maksaa, vaikka Suomessa olisi asuttu vuosikausia"

Tulkkeihin uppoaa miljoonia euroja veron­maksajien rahaa – valtio maksaa, vaikka Suomessa olisi asuttu vuosik…

Tanskassa terveyspalvelujen asiakas maksaa tulkkauksen asuttuaan maassa kolme vuotta. Suomessa vastaavaa sääntöä ei ole ja kustannukset kasvavatkin nopeasti.

Meta (Facebook) has been working with both ICE, DOGE, and Homeland.

Meta has been aiding these departments to develop a comprehensive list of residents, living in and around the United States. That list has included every detail of your account, including your expressed political affiliation. Meta AI has been used to not only identify people, but also your general location. All our mobile apps, regardless of platform, have been used to further monitor people even when not using the app.

Incredible (but predictable) : #Microsoft has blocked the International Criminal Court's access (#ICC) to its services on the orders of the #Trump mafia.

Read that carefully : an international organisation that has no presence in the United States and no US legal rights has had its work tools blocked simply because it disagrees with the Trump administration. 🚩

Get the hell out of it right now.

Disgusting

The 16-year-old was dragged away & arrested by #Worcester PD because she kicked the car #ICE was holding her mother in as her mom was taken away. The day earlier, ICE had taken her dad as well.

"She told MassLive that she, along with a crowd of other people, asked ICE to show a #warrant for the #arrest. She said the agents replied, 'We don’t have to show you anything.'"

A former Labour shadow minister, now in Parliament as an independent, calls on Labour to listen to the revulsion of many Labour voters against Starmer's right-wing policies.

Labour alienated its core and failed to attract Reform voters. Now will Starmer change tack?

The local elections showed that voters feel betrayed. But in a party that brooks no dissent, that message isn’t getting through, says independent MP John McDonnell

Someone was selling this "not working" on eBay for $30 but it was easy to see it was repairable. This is *not* the famous device Shirriff reverse engineered but a fancier programmable version. I used to have one as a kid but it died on me.

It's as accurate as a slide rule. The display shows the result of computing exp(1).

Vasemmiston tulisi nyt keskittyä terävöittämään talouspoliittista argumentaatiotaan, jotta ollaan seuraavien vaalien alla valmiina ampumaan alas mitkä tahansa valtiovarainministeriön esittämät madonluvut tutkimustiedon vastaisena huuhaana, millaiseksi ne ovat paljastuneet. Enää ei saa antaa VM:n lukujen mennä sukkana läpi valtamediassa.

Valtiovarainministeriö julkaisi viime viikolla taloudellisen ennusteensa sekä vaikutusarvioita, joiden perusteella hallitus päätyi tekemään mittavia veronkevennyksiä. VM:n luvuista nousi kohu. KU

When Black people seek reparations for centuries of genocide, slavery, & Jim Crow they’re told stop asking for handouts

When I, a non-Black person, demand reparations for Black people I’m called “Sand N*gger” & told “Go back where you came from.”

But when Ashli Babbit’s family demands reparations for her being killed while violently insurrecting, they’re given $30M in taxpayer money & an apology

This Is America. White supremacy is its cancer. The only way to stop it is solidarity against hate
