Det är så pinsamt för Sverige att 20% av befolkningen glatt röstar på det här.

”Det sorgliga är att det är så onödigt”. Jag har oftast förståelse för att rationellt egenintresse inte alltid är moraliskt optimalt, men det här irriterar mig enormt eftersom det är både dumt och omoraliskt. Ett rent självskadebeteende. Ingen utom Sd vill ha det så här och S borde veta bättre.

Man behöver inte ens vara vänsterpartist för att gilla de fina reportagen i Flamman! Ask me how I know.

”Här protesterar präster, pastorer, biskopar och vanliga församlingsmedlemmar. […] Det mest religiösa med Tidöpartierna just nu är att de utvecklats till en sekt som bestämt sig för att utvisa människor till varje pris – även när det strider mot både ekonomiskt förnuft och moralisk anständighet”.

I've never seen a population more united. If people can hold onto that unity, if people can accept that different people will have different ways of confronting fascism, if we can remind NGOs and orgs that they can join but not control the resistance, then, well, people here will write history.

New excuse just dropped:

Financial Times gets it. www.ft.com/content/f123...

Some american journalists are telling it like it is: newrepublic.com/article/2053...

Putin puppet Chump is weakening the United States by breaking our bonds with our longstanding allies. The goal is to destroy NATO. But that won’t happen. NATO will stand strong against the United States, which will plummet into the abyss that Putin created.

Now, onto the juicy bit. I am going to drill down on one small bit of the author's analysis because I have specific insight to show how little he knows. If I dug into other bits (who has the time, and inclination though?) I'm sure a similar pattern would show up. So let's look at this claim:

In case there were ever any doubt: a government hiring heavily armed masked thugs that are granted immunity from prosecution and given a quota of people to kidnap is not a stellar idea overall.

Well… Venezuela’s opposition leader Maria Corina Machado was awarded the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize. Headlines in the news read ”This will hit Latin America like a political bomb.” A few months later, Trump bombs Venezuela and abducts its president. I’m curious to see who gets the Peace Prize next year.

Humans have emitted 2750 gigatons of CO2 since the industrial revolution from burning fossil fuels and land use change. To put this in perspective, this is more than the (dry) mass of all living things on earth and everything humans have ever built combined:

This is absurd. And tragic for the innocent people hurt and killed. The US is running amok. The EU needs to step up and decouple from the US regarding economical and social media infrastructure.

A total of 130 books read this year, wherof 109 written by women, all in english. I should probably read some in my native tongue this year. The TBR-pile is 247 books… 😁 #booksky

Så här kommer det låta hela valrörelsen. Som alla vet handlar det om "koldioxidbudgeten" för att hålla temp under 1,5C. Tänk att ha som jobb att spela korkad och fultolka precis allt bara för att få likes/följare/cash. För nej, det vore förtal att säga att de inte fattar.

The US is literally threatening the EU. Says we can’t have nuclear weapons unless in far-right countries. People they don’t like are threatened with frozen bank accounts, revoked credit cards, blocked services from Amazon, Google, Microsoft and OpenAI. We need to realize Russia isn’t the only foe.

It’s 3 PM and darkness has fallen. This time of year it feels like one should be sleeping 3 PM - 9 AM.

Checks out. The evidence is compelling.

1900-talets vintrar var betydligt vitare än de senaste årens. På flera håll har nästan halva vintern försvunnit. Falun har tappat 43 snödagar per säsong. Anledningen är klimatförändringarna, orsakade av våra utsläpp www.vk.se/2025-12-25/h...

Stand fast! The barbarians are at the gates!

Great work of the state to stop terrorism before it could happen 👍

🥳

Genuine question: Other than the most obvious of answers — myopic car company shareholders printing another quarter's worth of profits off the old tech — who actually *thinks* they are benefiting off delaying the EU gas guzzler phaseout?

American Republicans are worse than the Taliban. The former destroyed irreplaceable works of art; the latter destroys scientific infrastructure that humanity urgently needs. In both cases driven by a hatred of civilization and progress.

🇪🇺 EU: We are watering down the 2035 ban on new petrol and diesel cars 🇨🇳 China: Thanks very much #electriccars www.theguardian.com/business/202...

A U-turn on diesel and petrol phase-outs creates uncertainty, stifles innovation, and weakens Europe. It pollutes our air and allows China to take the lead. europeangreens.eu/news/europea...

Icymi last month, this truly is the most important story in the Western world.

😆

I know it can be UNBEARABLE to hold this knowledge right now — and it’s very hard to see how to have hope in this dark — but we have to remain poised to grab the next political opportunity to turn this ship around, which we won’t be ready to do if we think THIS what we have now is “progress.” 6/n

More leisure, better health outcomes, less inequality, less carbon emissions, all of which with broadly similar productivity: The EU can be proud of its development model, and the Trumpists (and European conservatives that echo them) should keep it down a bit

Now with the same productivity as the US, “core EU” also has more leisure time, higher life expectancy, less inequality No matter how you look at it, it is a clearly superior economic performance

Sorgligt att se Fokus förfall. Tidningen var så bra i början. Sedan ville de bli mer underhållande och locka till sig en coolare läsekrets (Hakelius störde sig på att tidningen verkade rikta sig till elevrådsordföranden) och blev sämre och sämre och nu har den körts ned i den högerextrema dyn.

This is why we drag out potted palm trees in the southern sweden town Trelleborg every summer and line the roads with them. To celebrate that finally the town is suitable for human habitation 😁

The headline, the main takeaway from a European viewpoint is this: The transatlantic relationship as we know it is over. Yes, we kinda knew this. But this is now official US White House policy. Not a sppech, not a statement. The West as it used to be no longer exists.

Innovative!

I really wish we'd stop calling them climate "skeptics" or "vaccine skeptics", if you jump off a cliff we don't call you a "gravity skeptic"

Wrote about how climate change is bad www.theatlantic.com/science/2025...

😂

So true! And it’s further complicated by the fact that with glasses on I can’t see the text on the mobile screen…

The really annoying thing is that we knew well in advance and have had every opportunity to avoid climate destabilization.

So true.

I’m certainly not a fan of Ebba Busch or her party the Christian Democrats, but in this our current government is absolutely right. We need to stay away from the US and cooperate more closely with Canada.

Perfect description of standard contemporary journalism.

With current pledges, the world's on track for 2.6°C of warming in 2100 compared to preindustrial levels. 10 years ago, before the Paris agreement, it was 3.6°C 20+ years ago, we thought it would be 4-5°C So 2.6°C is better, but the problem is that climate impacts are way worse than we predicted.

Ministern som ska skydda oss från påverkanskampanjer medverkar gladeligen i högerextrema drev mot DN. Statsministern går till motattack när Aftonbladet granskar makten. Något har hänt med Moderaternas syn på journalistik.

Wow!
