”Pressfrihetsorganisationen CPJ har samlat in vittnesmål från palestinska journalister som suttit fängslade av Israel de senaste åren. 58 av 59 journalister uppger att de utsatts för tortyr, misshandel eller andra typer av våld i fängelset.” www.journalisten.se/nyheter/pale...

One is easily numbed by all the noise coming out of the US But it may be worth to pause and note that a NYT columnist is advocating for an illegal (in international law and likely also US) war. However much one dislikes the Iranian regime.

I love the "if the people who the study feel I personally attacked them". That the authors were personally attacked is what is known as a fact. It is not a matter of personal feeling.

Good news: Happy Kevin walks back his call for NY Fed economists to be disciplined. Bad news: It's bullshit. He says the Fed should stay out of issues like... whether tariffs cause inflation. But inflation is central to monetary policy! He's still saying: The regime shall not be contradicted.

Vad Kristersson tror eller inte tror spelar ingen roll. Han börjar redan framstå som en förlorare och det är åtta månader kvar till valet.

Sverige hade ungdomsfängelser fram till 1980. Vet ni varför de avskaffades? - Skyhög återfallsrisk. - Fungerade som skolor för värre kriminalitet. - Gav de dömda en kriminell identitet. - Bristfälligt vårdinnehåll. - Ingen fungerande eftervård. Blir nog bra… www.tfkriminalvard.se/noterat/varf...

"Jag har aldrig någonsin stött på en vanlig svensk som är antisemit". säger Jimmie Åkesson. Jaså. Han behöver inte gå över ån efter vatten. Ni kan gissa vilket parti där antisemitismen är mest utbredd i den mig veterligt senast genomförda undersökningen. www.levandehistoria.se/wp-content/u...

In Sweden, the debate on Swedish/ Nordic/ European nukes is getting serious: Christian Democrats and Sweden Democrats are in favour and, more importantly, the leaders of the two traditional leading parties - Social Democrats and Moderates - have expressed themselves at least not opposed to the idea

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

LinkedIn probably wasn’t the best channel to post this, but I stand by it

Sweden must consider alternatives to Nato www.sverigesradio.se/play/artikel...

A German soccer federation executive committee member says it's time to consider a World Cup boycott because of the actions of U.S. President Donald Trump.

”Salla vaatii julkisen sektorin pilvihankkeiden välitöntä pysäyttämistä. Kyse ei ole osaamisesta, vaan poliittisesta tahdosta. Kansallista turvallisuutta ja itsemääräämisoikeutta ei saa ulkoistaa.” Totta💯 Mutta Kelaa johtaa kokoomus ja oikeusministeriötä persut, eli tämä on niiden poliittinen tahto.

Hundattacker, sparkar och rena våldtäkter i israeliska häkten och fängelser. Det vittnar tidigare palestinska fångar om i en ny rapport av israeliska människorättsorganisationen B'Tselem.

Olisiko Suomen ulkopoliittisen johdon syytä reagoida tähän räikeään kv oikeuden rikkomukseen ja hyökkäykseen YK-järjestelmää kohti?

With all the other crap that is going on, this shocking piece of news may have flown under the radar. Ft: Israel bulldozes UN agency for Palestinian refugees - giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/... via @FT

Ike knew this. "Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland. And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.

The Prime Minister of Belgium speaks:

The time has come for Europe to start treating X like Yandex or TASS. It’s an enemy operated propaganda outlet

In a sane country with adults in Republican party leadership, this would be the time to invoke article 25 and remove Trump.

One thing that now even the most hopeful have to admit, is that the unctuous European tactic of flattering, praising, massaging Trump has been a catastrophic failure and made things worse.

Europe is heading to a point where Atlanticism becomes equated with Appeasement

The world-cracking insanity of Trump unconstrained—with no "adult in the room" to push back, with no Republican possessing spine sturdy enough to stand up to him, with many Democratic leaders unwilling to admit the peril, with Wormtongues like Stephen Miller affirming his every base impulse.

An aspect of the Greenland-crisis that has received less attention than it should is that, in proclaiming Russia or China can and will easily snap Gl up, Trump seems to be signalling that the US does not intend to honour NATOs mutual defence principle.

Worrying but wise by @edwardluce.bsky.social. ".. pacifying Donald Trump only gets you so far. It buys time but is no substitute for having protection against a rogue superpower. We are thus in the early stages of an accelerating process of US de-risking."

How is it so difficult for @royalsociety.org to do its job? Namely: to *defend the conditions for science*. Nobody has delivered a more concrete and direct attack on science than Elon Musk & the US government. Boot him!

Croatia thinks Trump should steal territory from Norway, not Denmark

This link works.

I find amusing the reporting that the UK gov has "found" legal grounds for intervening with Russia's shadow tanker fleet. It's like the legal basis is in a box at the back of the top shelf in the guest room cupboard and the government had forgotten they had it until the Americans told them to jump.

No staff, no equipment, no medicine: a doctor on returning to Gaza after 665 days in an Israeli prison

Martin Sandbu, @FT: "Europe should embrace the idea of going it alone" Since Trump has stopped doing anything for Europe or Ukraine, Europe should just ignore hostile Trump. Europe does bnot need the US as an enemy. www.ft.com/content/1da0...

Kylmän sodan aikainen suomettuneisuus oli sentään edes kovaan todellisuuteen ankkuroitunutta politiikkaa, brutaalia inhorealismia. Sen sijaan tämä nykyinen "yritetään tasapainoilla Trumpin kanssa, niin _ehkä_ saamme tukea Venäjää vastaan" on ihan silkkaa toiveajattelua.

What can history teach us about what happens when a populist strongman with an idiosyncratic taste for low interest rates undermines central bank independence?

Sven-Eric Liedman skriver med passion och vrede. Han liknar Donald Trump vid en buse på skolgården och kallar vår egen migrationsminister Johan Forssell avskyvärd. Och vi är fegisar som tiger och böjer oss för hänsynslösheten och råheten. Läs!

Perfection.

"Jag tänker att det viktigaste man kan göra är att fortsätta göra mentalt motstånd mot både Millers människo- och historiesyn."

Kianderilta kiinnostavaa pohdiskelua. Kokonaisveroasteen nosto prosenttiyksiköllä ei varmasti ole kaikkien mieleen, mutta se ei myöskään kuulosta kohtuuttomalta valtiontalouden suunnan kääntämiseksi.
