Väljarna kan inte – får inte – vara så korkade som Ebba Busch tror

Netanyahu has already made a mockery of the rules - based international system. He, Putin & Trump are demolishing any pretence of Western moral ascendancy. Is there anything he could do that would finally prompt serious sanctions from Israel’s Western allies? www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

"74 procent av väljarna är emot vinster i skolan. Inget riksdagsparti har en genomsnittlig väljare som är för vinster. Ändå består systemet. Så vinner ett välorganiserat särintresse över den allmänna, men oorganiserade, folkviljan." Vi måste organisera oss! www.aftonbladet.se/debatt/a/Gx0...

Great collleagues, great book!

Jag har haft det på känn, och det verkar stämma, förstagångsväljarna går vänsterut. Förra valet hade SD och M stora framgångar bland unga väljare. Nu går Vänsterpartiet och Socialdemokraterna bra i gruppen.

Såklart inte en enda journalist som uppmärksammar detta. Kunde det inte vara värt bara en enda kritisk fråga till någon av partikamraterna i regeringen?

"Ulf Kristersson deltog personligen på mötet där hans svägerskas stiftelse fick fler miljoner. Pengarna togs från ”integration och jämställdhet”, som minskades med samma belopp. Beslutet beskrevs som ”angeläget”." Såklart är Academedia med på ett hörn. www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/wr...

Idag fyller Gui Minhai 62 år. Den svenske förläggaren är politisk fånge i Kina sedan mer än 10 år. Vi vet inte ens var han sitter fängslad. Han får inte ha kontakt med sin familj. Svenska diplomater får inte träffa honom. Kina talar om bättre relationer med EU - börja med att frige Gui Minhai

Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them. New piece ↓ open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

This article is so disturbing to me I had to stop reading after the first twenty percent. Maybe you'll be able to handle it?

Good post by a history prof, in the genre “What most people don’t understand yet is …” — although, in my experience, a lot of the academics it’s addressing do grasp what’s happening with agents, and just really wish it would not happen.

One of the the villages the IDF demolished is my friend's ancestral home, Taybeh. Not a house, not a commercial building, not a gas station, the whole ancient village that survived the Ottomans, colonialism, and every other Israeli occupation. Just obliterated in the name of collective punishment.

"There is nothing like mortal danger to bring a club together. And so three nationalist shocks — Brexit, America First, Russia’s war — have given a multilateral, technocratic and liberal institution a sense of existential purpose that it was starting to lack."

Presumably the Americans will now shift seamlessly from denouncing Europeans for not militarily opening the Straits of Hormuz, to denouncing them for not militarily helping to keep the Straits closed. www.ft.com/content/49fb...

Två statliga utredningar konstaterar att skollagen överkompenserar expansiva skolkoncerner på de kommunala skolornas bekostnad, men politiker med tydliga band till samma koncerner struntar i utredningarna.
