It's New Year, so time to look back and forward. These are 10 things I think we need to recognise in 2026. It’s a response to what I think are profoundly damaging mistaken assumptions I’ve heard and read from practitioners, journalists, and analysts in 2025. Warning: very long🧵

Kontrakter om kraft til kraftkrevende næringer må ut på anbud (beauty-contest), der skatteinntekter, strømpris, arbeidsplasser, forbruksfleksibilitet og andre samfunnsmessige konsekvenser må være blant kriteriene.

If we can't even identify our enemies then how can we fight them? Trump's National Security Strategy is the longest suicide note in American history www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

This is the message that European leaders must share with their citizens. The situation for our dear Europe is serious and dire. We must prepare for war, and the best way to do so is to speed up our arms industries and send as many guns as we can to Ukraine. No use for them in our storages.

4. desember kom Aleksandr Dugin ut av sekken. Om du ikke har fått med deg at det er alarm før nå, håper jeg denne vekkerklokka kan få liv i deg.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Just the president of the United States rationalizing that a Washington Post reporter was basically asking to be murdered and cut to pieces with a bone saw because of his reporting. As he sits next to the thug who ordered it.

Trump has gone totally mad. It's 25th Amendment time all day, every day. He's living in a totally invented, fictional world. And he's old and in ill-health. It's outrageous, reckless, choose your word that Republicans haven't done more to deal with this.

The president says there are very few stores left in Portland, Oregon, and the ones that are left are made of plywood. I know we’re numb to this, but in any other time he’d have been removed by the 25th Amendment by now

I’m beginning to think they lied about liking free speech…

This administration is responsible for the most blatant attacks on the free press in American history. What will be left of the First Amendment when he’s done?

Kimmel. Colbert. Suits against the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and 60 Minutes. Extorting settlements from CBS, ABC, and others. Blocking the AP's access to the White House. 🧵

Reporter: The president of Venezuela called the strike on the boat illegal Trump: What’s illegal is the fact that 300 million people died last year from drugs

For tomorrow: US population: 340 million EU Pop. 450 M EU+UK+UKR 565 M Russia 143M US GDP 29 Trillion EU GDP 20 T EU + UK 24 T Russia 2.2 T What does neither the US nor Europe get? Trump thinks Russia is the only other superpower. Europe thinks it’s not a superpower.

The whole post WWII world order was based on territorial integrity, that aggression should not be rewarded with territorial gains. That idea was beautiful and worked perfectly, until tested. Then it totally fell apart.

This is the way.

Viktig at kongen besøker Bjørnøya. Jan Mayen neste? www.nrk.no/ytring/derfo...

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president. And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict. This should be *the* story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

Well this is quite something. Very few people - especially if they’ve had access to power - have this much spine. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

As the US shuts out global student talent, the EU must act boldly: expand Erasmus+, simplify access, invite Harvard and MIT to open EU campsuses, and make Europe the go-to destination for open minds and academic freedom, write MEPs from the S&D, EPP and Renew.

"Hva hvis vi får flere tilfeller som Khan-saken? Eller hvis Trump truer med å stenge skytjenester bare for danske kunder, som et pressmiddel for å få Grønland? – Det er teknisk mulig å tvinge Danmark fullstendig i kne hvis man legger ned Azure i morgen." www.digi.no/artikler/kom...

Slava Ukraini, motherfuckers!

Kan en professor som følger Ukraina-krigen tett, i god tro benekte de russiske forbrytelsene i Butsja slik Glenn Diesen gjør i Klassekampen i går? Etter min mening er dette et eksempel på at Diesen ikke er en etterrettelig og sannhetssøkende debattant, men talerør for Kreml 1/

Not only has the idea of a Nordic bomb become a casual topic on Swedish morning radio, but now also a Danish ex-foreign minister calls for a Nordic defence union with own nuclear weapons - as strategic necessity.

Uten tvil.

I just left the Senate floor, where I laid out Trump's real "Art of the Deal." For himself. Here are Donald Trump's 10 most outrageous displays of corruption yet. 🧵

As US vuln-tracking falters, EU enters with its own security bug database

The Trump administration has made clear it wishes to gut NOAA’s research enterprise, which is at the center of climate research globally. After 67 years of battling to keep the program funded and provide the data to other scientists around the world, the program faces its most dire threat ever.

Elon Musk’s AI company is belching smog-forming pollution into an area of Memphis that already leads Tennessee in asthma hospitalizations. xAI has become one of the county’s largest emitters of smog-producing nitrogen oxides.

I dag feirer vi frigjøringsdagen. Vi feirer ikke den dagen kamphandlingene tok slutt i juni 1940, men den dagen de tyske okkupantene overgav seg fem år senere. Krigen varte så lenge Norge var under okkupasjon. Nyttig å huske på for alle som ønsker seg en rettferdig avslutning på krigen i Ukraina.

Nå har Trump-administrasjonen sagt opp leieavtalen til Mauna Loa-laboratoriet Verdens lengste måleserie av direktemålt CO2 i atmosfæren kan ta slutt etter 67 år. Den viser at CO2 i atmosfæren nå har passert 430 ppm.

Trump’s Support Surges After He Points Gun At Nation

Your now regular reminder that threatening the sovereignty of a NATO ally, while 🇷🇺 is illegally occupying 20% of 🇺🇦 & 🇨🇳 is eyeing 🇹🇼 & illegally seizing territory in the S. China Sea, is not only shameful & obscene, it is also a massive national security risk that should immediately end a presidency.

There wont be any peace with the current Russian regime. People who say there will be peace with Putin's regime are either extremely ignorant or are lying to you.
