"Enligt etablerade rättssäkerhets­principer i Sveriges grundlag, EU:s rättighets­stadga och Europa­konventionen om de mänskliga rättigheterna får sådana beslut inte återkallas till nackdel för den enskilde annat än i mycket speciella undantagsfall." www.svd.se/a/d4nXOw/att...

Skriver tillsammans med 77 juristkollegor om att återkallande av permanenta uppehållstillstånd vore olagligt

So you want nuclear power? So why wait a decade to build an old fashioned fission reactor when you can tap into that big fusion reactor in the sky? #SolarIsTheBiz

Hinckley point. Now plans for 14 years to build 3.2GW capacity. For the same cost (if it doesn't rise again)you could have over 80 GW of solar ready in 2 years. Slow handclap for politicians pushing nuclear....

Reform announcing what are the very definition of far-right policies, while trying to make them sound "mainstream" needs to be a wake up call, to the Labour, to voters on the fence, etc etc, that they need to be supporting migrants and talking positively about immigration, otherwise Reform wins.

Sweden - leading the world in rising poverty. Up to 3.9% from 0.5% in 2014. In other news... It's an election year

Excellent write-up here from @suewilson91.bsky.social for @yorkshirebylines.co.uk on the practical & morally urgent changes we need to make to immigration policy Imagine a govt willing to do what's best to protect migrants' rights AND benefit host communities yorkshirebylines.co.uk/politics/the...

We’ve put 1,000+ miles on our cargo e-bike since buying it a year or two ago and drastically reduced our short trips in the car around the city

"most of the ‘benefit’ tends to relate to older, smaller and leaner forms of machine learning, what has been called ‘traditional AI’, while we also know that most of the new harm is likely stemming from consumer generative AI over-deployment. "

Elections should be about deciding what's best for your community and for the country. They shouldn't be about trying to guess who's best placed to stop the outcome you fear the most. What we're seeing in Gorton and Denton shows very clearly why we need Proportional Representation.

FACT OF THE DAY. 21 February 1946. Aneurin Bevan announced the Labour Government’s proposals for a National Health Service. The service began on 5 July 1948. Its introduction represented one of the greatest social reforms in British History which helped every citizen.

A new report shows climate tipping points are closer than we thought. Have a nice weekend - just don't look up.

I just came across this - a site with European based alternatives for digital services. 🙂 european-alternatives.eu

Feeling quite patriotic. This is what equality under the law is meant to look like.

In the concentration camp universe, this is what's known as a filtration camp. A government preemptively takes a whole class of people to interrogate and detain extrajudicially in order to inflict duress on them while arbitrarily assessing their (supposed) culpability.

Perspectives on creativity and AI

⬆️ renewables ⬇️ energy costs It's that simple.

I enjoyed this one. Very on point.

Two posts that highlight how governments are failing us on the climate - withdrawing tax benefits for e-bikes while subsidising unprofitable regional airline routes.

I’ll never be grateful TO anyone, but I’m grateful FOR the chance to have the less horrible path (still not fun!!!). Nobody should be forced to perform endless gratitude to bad faith strangers for the right to keep their own life. Expecting that is weirdo behavior and we should call it this, always

I also think we need to start talking about deportation the way we talk about capital punishment or literal lifetime sentences. That they’re fundamentally immoral and at odds with a democratic society. There are very few valid reasons to deprive someone of their life—which is what a deportation is.

It’s frustrating to see even pro immigrant voices in Sweden mostly focusing on people who “speak fluent Swedish” and “do jobs no one else wants” and, worst of all, “who behave themselves” which are basically far-right and authoritarian framings. A lot of “being here is a privilege, not a right”

AI is revolutionizing the world! A Playstation now costs $5,000 and this is the last phone you will ever own.

Farage’s economic agenda is basically a manual in how to crash the economy

Wow.

It's the Winter Olympics, so here's a mosaic of a Roman who is *definitely* skiing. ⛷️👍 #MosaicMonday

So very sad to see the resurgence of racism in Britain. The little englanders need reminding that the 'Spirit of the Blitz' they're all so nostalgic for was *anti-fascist*. Most Brits are sound, decent people, and I really hope this is just a passing phase.

As it turns out, in the US it's law enforcement that are the dangerous criminals

Bluesky is the new science Twitter, new study by @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and Julia Wester concludes! "Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter."

Immigrants. Always coming over here and.. checks notes.. .. doing heart surgery.

Have you seen this? This recent study of mode share (the % share of transportation trips that are by car, transit, walking, biking etc) relative to city size and income levels in almost 800 cities in 61 countries. Interesting results. HT @davidzipper.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Sweden's immigration office is planning to deport a 8 month old baby born in Sweden to Iran - even though his parents are settled legally. 🥺 Can we have empathy back in government please

What is it about people becoming super rich that makes them turn into miserable horrible people? You can do *anything*. Pursue any dream or hobby. Travel. Buy your favourite sports team. Fund curing cancer. Sit on a beach. Play with your kids instead of working. Collect Ferraris. Why so miserable?

People in France, Germany, Spain, Italy and Poland see the ECHR’s positive impact on security co-operation and their day-to-day lives as far outweighing its impact on their country’s ability to deport illegal migrants👇 🔗 yougov.co.uk/internationa... via @yougov.co.uk

Oavsett om man hoppas på kärnkraft måste man inse: Den sittande regeringen valde 2024 att avslå 13 färdiga planer för vindkraft som skulle ge MER el än hela regeringens mest önsketänkta kärnkraftsdröm. Billigare. Snabbare. Säkrare.

Tips till tidningar: Ni måste inte skriva om minsta lilla grej Trump gör och säger. Han är definitionen av old man yells at cloud vid det här laget.

Overall, we're still speeding in the wrong direction!

Very powerful interview with Gordon Brown on #r4today. IMHO Starmer can save his political career with immediate measures to ban MPs’ second jobs, tackle lobbying (esp by foreign-funded “thinktanks”) and clean up corruption in our political system.

Kriget går in i sitt femte år och det finns en politisk konsensus om att Sverige står bakom Ukraina, så länge det krävs. Om vi menar allvar borde ukrainska flyktingar i Sverige få rätt till en långsiktig framtid i vårt land. Till att börja med borde vi ge dem permanenta uppehållstillstånd.

One by one, Europeans mentioned in the Epstein files who still hold political office are beginning to resign or are being forced out of office. Meanwhile, ruled by an administration almost entirely made up of Epstein associates, the US carries on as if nothing really happened.

"I dag fungerar de snarare som en synonym för ”svenska värderingar”: Ett identitetspolitiskt tillhygge som används för att markera en svensk säridentitet, men sällan fylls med konkret innehåll. Man vill använda de kristna stororden, men inte ta ansvar för deras betydelse."
