A must read: "We’re not being talked with. We’re being talked about. Adults — whether lawmakers, tech CEOs, or bestselling authors — rarely consult teens when deciding what’s best for us. [...] We’re not treated like stakeholders in our own futures." joanganzcooneycenter.org/2025/11/06/w...

Meanwhile, children from poor families have to wait for years at times to receive an adequate diagnosis, due to health care overload. And, during this time, they do not get access to proper accommodations.

Content ⚠️ The thread below discusses the mechanims via which people go deep into conspiracy in order to explain disturbing behaviours that happen frequently enough in our lives, but that said people like to avoid acknowledging, both in their lives, and regarding people in position of power.

This is valid also for Sweden, not only Denmark: "Denmark’s generous child care and parental leave policies erase 80% of the ‘motherhood penalty’ for working moms For many women in the U.S. and around the world, motherhood comes with career costs." theconversation.com/denmarks-gen...

The media is thriving on moral panic regarding young generations. Reality 👇 "However, despite being widely perceived as a threat, today’s teenagers are more law-abiding than previous generations.

The Guardian had an article about a shift towards the use of beef tallow instead of seed oils by restaurants in the US, to comply with the weird food pyramid of the antivaxxer-in-chief, and he can kiss the plans of people losing weight goodbye, as well as the reductions in heart disease.

Epstein mingling with public health management (remember the pandemic handling fudge?) was not on my Bingo cards, but apparently he was behind some political event in 2015 called "Preparing for Pandemics: Lessons Learned for More Effective Responses" attended by some heavyweights of public health.

🧵(1/3) The Epstein link to back-room manipulation of pandemic authority is a huge deal for many reasons, but 👉first and foremost as COVID got loose *because* out-of-touch back-room manipulators rejected science and based policy on beliefs that were nearly a century out of date👈. We are owed a...

2018 sattes Asle Toje, i dag medlem i styrelsen för den SD-nära tankesmedjan Oikos, i kontakt med högerideologen Steve Bannon. Den som förmedlade kontakten mellan de två var ingen mindre än Jeffrey Epstein, visar nya handlingar.

As a person with several chronic illnesses and disability I am voting the Greens just because the alternatives at the right of Greens are ableist, and on many occasions so was the left party. The right is ableist by default, "money is power," and the left is ableist by inertia, "workers' party."

Instead of lengthy and dry political philosophy, one can actually be practical and answer someone's concerns in a way that is respectful of their disability. Disabled people are still human beings with rights, and disability can reduce one's ability to read long text. So adaptations are important.

The Swedish right and far-right might pretend they are not into MAGA, but they use MAGA language and they drool after what MAGA does to people who are not light shades of beige. Right wing minister visits far-right podcasters, far-right leader takes pages from Project 2025 for governing. Quite MAGA.

Att högern väljer en högerextrem barnporrmaskin för att Bluesky inte med algoritmen artificiellt förstärker spridningen för högerkonton säger nog det mesta om svensk höger.

Do we need to report on every single jealous tantrum of the thin-skinned demented malignant narcissist Trump? Ethical journalism should analyse the consequences of their reporting. If they just give attention to a narcissist, then maybe they should not do it. There are other matters to report.

It is everywhere. The exact same mentality protects the Epstein perpetrators, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and sinecured public officials who kill millions.

Nu kommer öppen kritik mot S-ledningens hårdare tag i kriminal- och migrationspolitiken. I ett uttalande till riksdagsgruppen kräver S i Täby en politik som stämmer med partiets värdegrund: ”Risken är stor att vi förlorar vår identitet och trovärdighet”.

This was said over and over during the last days and I will repeat it myself: what the Epstein files show is a reflection of a society in which richness and power are seen as "moral value" that allows someone to commit abuse with impunity. We have so many examples of protection of powerful abusers.

Read this thread and please for the love of everything, realise this behaviour of sexual assault and power is institutional, built into society, a part of the culture. We need more than #MeToo, we need to tear down the systems that are keeping an elite wealthy and powerful by exploiting others.

Yesterday's short walk produced nice pictures.

Nothing speaks more about Chomsky’s values and pseudointellectualism like his friendship with Epstein and his admiration of Epstein's "intellectual breadth insights." Epstein was not capable to spell his own name correctly while teaching, didn't have an upper education and lied his way up.

"But the rules seem different when the working-class children in question are girls, trafficked and enslaved not for factory labour but for sex work. In Chomsky’s political world, these individual survivors of sexual predation are invisible." www.europe-solidaire.org/spip.php?art...

Chomsky is known for being a problematic figure greedy for attention and a misogynist. I heard about his controversies and his shitty behaviour first during my studies in psychology. And it was not his political orientation, it was about his grift, his soft spot for dictators, his misogyny.

Kjöller attacked cancer patients and disabled people too in her articles across time, and she is anti-trans too. She is a well-rounded bundle of hatred towards vulnerable people, irrespective of their vulnerability. Her attacks on vulnerability point to her having quite some narcissism.

it's not even SvD giving Kjöller space to opine, but they're printing it as a leader. That pretty much tells you what you need to know about the intellectual rot at that paper, such pseudoscientific "thinking" not to be taken lightly in our current political climate.

Kjöller is butthurt because she was undercover in a long covid group trying to gaslight people there and they threw her out and, like the textbook narcissist that she is, she is on a revenge spree now, pretty much like Trump is revenging on people who didn’t adore him. Sad SvD allows her to abuse.

Would it be too much for people to put content warning at their posts presenting documents from the Epstein files detailing child sexual abuse? For anyone who has been a victim, those accounts can be triggering and traumatic. Especially when those are screenshots, they are not seen by filters.

Social media, when not converted into the ego brushing and disinformation machine of a thin-skinned man-child oligarch, can be a force for good. Criticism of problematic studies on social media led to their faster retraction. Especially when it contained red-flag words www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I was searching in my medical journal and apparently I have been having yearly evaluations for a chronic illness that I have and funny how I do not remember seeing said specialist yearly and even receiving a call from that department yearly. And I am pretty sure an evaluation would involve me too.

"Even if they showed this on a plane, people would still walk out."

I have rarely seen a person getting self-radicalised as fast as Musk has been and, reading about his upbringing, he seems to have been anyway introduced to far-right since childhood and the current descent towards visible fascism looks more like an expected trajectory than a random happening.

MAGA is hyping that video showing Alex Pretti being pinned down by ICE agents after kicking a tail light on their car, and they shouldn't hype that video much, because if the agents who executed him are the same ones who aggressed him in that video, that was premeditated murder.

I wonder how many deaths from HIV/AIDS the Foo Fighters caused? The body count from their grotesque HIV denialism must surely be huge.

"The strategy of protesting against Donald Trump’s administration is moving away from rallies and electoral organising towards direct action. It is arguably becoming one of the most significant civil-disobedience efforts in America since the civil-rights movement."

Someone with a lot of sense of humour trained their AI chatbot to write posts in the style Trump writes on Truth Social (capital letters included) and those fake posts are so convincing, that even core MAGA believed them. That is going to be some good trolling.

From time to time, I get this comment from people who said something borderline unethical, when I challenge their view and push them to reflect on themselves: "You are not who I imagined you were." Good. Because I do not exist to fulfill the fantasies and expectations of others. Nor to pamper egos.

What a fever I have been having recently! I have fever daily, between 38°C and 38.5°C, a couple of days per week it can go close to 39°C. But my body temperature rarely goes above 39°C, even when I have an infection. Yet recently it went there on some occasions and that fever is crushing my body.

Someone who unethically milked the tragedy of a homicide amongst minors (13-15 y.o.) for social media clout told me they "lost respect" for me when I called them out for their unethical stance that a vulnerable child (the killer - 13) should be punished like an adult and destroyed.
