Svinbra att detta görs, men det gör också ONT i mig, för jag har velat göra detta i typ ett halvår. Men fick nej av hemtjänstchef och socialchef. Men som sagt, bra att det görs. Har själv jobbat i hemtjänsten och märker att folk inte tror på mig när jag berättar hur det är.

Iranians are out in the streets, literally burning things down, willing to get shot, and refusing to back down in the face of repression. Weeks of pressure, with a willingness to face down the regime to finally take it down. They understand the will required. We have a lot to learn from them.

I keep coming back to this

Imagined victimhood is a foundational tenet of fascism. Persecution fantasies permeate conservative politics. Their great oppressors include racial diversity, science, drag brunch, children's literature, public education, N-95 masks, electric cars, medicine, the rule of law, empathy, and Ms. Rachel.

Laughing at all the people saying shit like we should get rid of the few bad apples in the ethnic cleansing operation

.@PabloReports: What do you make of Kristi Noem calling Renee Good a domestic terrorist? Magaziner: Kristi Noem is an idiot.

GERMAN PRESIDENT STEINMEIER: “.. the United States has broken with the values that it helped to establish .. “.. we have now moved beyond the stage where we can lament the lack of respect for international law or the erosion of the international order; we are far beyond that, I believe.”

I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

The World Cup should not be held in the United States.

Walz: "I couldn't help but think, and it scares me a bit -- 'The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most important directive.' It certainly feels like that in this moment."

I suggest you take a short break and look at this piece of Ukrainian art. 🇺🇦 Viktor Zaretsky, A Talk about Bread, 1984. Here, he’s already strongly influenced by Klimt.

I’ve often read how people described hearing their drone, their missile (the one that hit their home). Tonight, I thought I heard my drone. Only one window opened slightly from the blast wave. The others are fine. Victory (still a cat) reacted perfectly, she ran and hid so fast. Everything’s fine.

Kyiv is under a heavy attack tonight. Drones. Missiles. Explosions again and again. It would be good to see a new day. Hug your peace tightly.

Greetings from Kyiv. We survived the night. No electricity, water, or heating at home. –8 °C outside. Some apartments in our building lost their windows in the attack. Still, I believe everything will be fine.

⚡️Update: 4 killed, 19 injured as fires engulf Kyiv following Russian mass attack on Ukraine. Running water and electricity have been disrupted in parts of Ukraine's capital as a result of Russian strikes on critical infrastructure, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said.

⚡️ BREAKING: Oreshnik IRBM missile used in strike on Ukraine's Lviv, Russia says. The Oreshnik is a Russian intermediate-range ballistic missile designed to carry nuclear weapons.

"We are doing everything we can to resolve this as quickly as possible. However, the combined attack on Kyiv last night was the most devastating for the capital's critical infrastructure," Klitschko said.

I've started a Substack where "translate" political science concepts and theories. I also lean heavy on reading recommendations. My latest newsletter is a 3-minute read defining "fascism", a word that modern fascists unironically reject. #politicalscience #science open.substack.com/pub/theopenb...

Since June, we’ve sent out one edition of the newsletter per month, each highlighting a different organization that is helping Ukraine. The newsletter gives our members more opportunities to get involved — through donating or, in some cases, volunteering. ‌‌

Journalists need to stop writing that “Grok is spreading child pornography” or “Grok is spreading antisemitic messages.” Grok is a human creation with algorithms created by humans working for X. The technology is not responsible. The people running the company are.

Shootings continue to drop in Sweden, in some categories dramatically. Since 2022, shootings (incl. incidents w/no injuries) down by 65% & shooting injuries down by 60%. 43 deaths in 2025, but 2025 included worst mass shooting in Swedish history w/10 killed. Without that, deaths down 50% since 2022.

Surprise, surprise. People think their country was at its best when they were growing up.

Hur länge kan journalister, företag, politiker, myndigheter rättfärdiga att de stannar kvar på en social medieplattform som har en människoskapad funktion där användare enkelt kan generera barnpornografi och sexuellt explicita bilder baserat på vilken bild som helst? www.reuters.com/legal/litiga...

ICE *wants* thugs. The more sociopathic, the better. You know, guys willing to shoot an unarmed woman point blank in the head who was trying to drive away. Those kind of guys.

ICE ILLEGALLY assaulting MORE US citizens in North Carolina. Where the fuck is Congress?! Oh right, getting paid to look the other way.

"Dominant predator force" is an absolutely accurate way to describe these fucking fascists' view of America's role in the world

Looking back, everyone will one day realize that all that woke stuff was right. Unfortunately, being right won’t erase the suffering.

They probably saw the ILC's mandate, which includes the progressive development of international law and (falsely) assumed it was too woke. In practice this just means the US now has less influence on the development of international norms which will bind the US.

If a website appeared overnight that gave hundreds of millions of users the opportunity to create CSAM you'd expect governments to shut it down quickly, so the question is why X gets a pass when it's done just that? www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

It's time for European human rights-loving nations to hold their own song competition.

Moldova’s progress on its EU path is remarkable, dear Maia Sandu. Moldova just joined the Single Euro Payments Area and the EU’s roaming scheme. Today in Nicosia, we continue to work together on the next steps towards EU accession. Making sure all Moldovans will benefit.

Walz: "We get no coordination. They don't tell us they're coming. They don't say why they're sending the largest deployment in American history to Minneapolis. They're not making us any safer. We don't have any of that coordination. They should be talking to us."

“i want back my rocking chairs, / solipsist sunsets, / & coastal jungle sounds...” A poem by Renee Nicole Good, who was murdered by ICE earlier today. lithub.com/renee-nicole...

Jesse Watters highlights that Renee Nicole Good, the woman killed by ICE, had "pronouns in her bio" and "leaves behind a lesbian partner and a child from a previous marriage"

Says someone who is an incorrigible agitator, habitual liar, destructing the world order, while obstructing justice constantly.

She was a queer woman peacefully exercising her First Amendment right. Every person with a sound conscience should be furious.

⚡️Russia offered to 'swap' Venezuela for Ukraine in 2019, Trump adviser testimony claims. In a 2019 hearing, former Trump adviser Fiona Hill claimed Moscow proposed a "very strange swap arrangement between Venezuela and Ukraine," based on the Monroe Doctrine.

"Venezuelanarar vonar [håper] på ei betre framtid. Dei vonar på fridom, det er kanskje det ordet dei brukar mest. Dei vonar på demokrati og at regimet ikkje lenger skal bestå." Men det "er òg frykt for at kriminelle gjengar skal bruka kaoset til eiga vinning." www.nrk.no/urix/slik-er...

Det meste av Venezuelas olje kommer fra Orinocobeltet, et 600 kilometer langt belte av oljesand. Oljen er tung med mye svovel og lite hydrogen, noe som gjør den ekstra skadelig for klimaet. Den krever mye energi, både for å ta opp og å raffinere. www.nrk.no/klima/frykte...

It's really impossible to overstate how much *everyone* is watching the US threats towards Greenland, not just Europe. If you want to break not just NATO but Five Eyes and maybe our Asian defense alliances too, taking Greenland is how you do it.

A Washington Post article suggests that, beyond a certain threshold, larger homes don't make people happier. Instead, well-being is correlated with affordable housing in walkable neighborhoods where they feel socially connected. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

COMMENTARY: It seems an increasing number of Americans, including elected leaders and journalists, are afraid to tell the truth about what happened on January 6. That's dangerous.

Furthermore This is My neighborhood and anyone with a house in My neighborhood or really just in the area that I think looks interesting needs to give me their stuff and do what I say or I will kidnap you and take your stuff

I am pleased to announce that I have commandeered my neighbor's home. This home will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, to ensure it is used to benefit my neighbor and me! Thank you for your attention to this matter!
