WELKER: Has the president crossed the line of impeachment? CHRIS MURPHY: I have common sense. I know this president has committed 10 times more impeachable offenses in his second term as he did in his first. He's stealing from the American people.

Ju mer jag tänker på detta, desto argare blir jag. Hon har mer insyn än någon annan i hur fackförbundet Sveriges Lärare tänkt lägga upp strategin under valåret. Att avskaffa marknadsskolan är en av de viktigaste frågorna. Nu ska hon istället företräda utländska skolägare.

Det finns så många smarta klimatlösningar. Pontus Lamberg har utvecklat ett nytt odlingssubstrat för växthusodling baserat på restprodukter från skogsindustrin. Kräver bara 2% av energin jämfört med stenull. Och vattenåtgången minskar med 40% www.aktuellhallbarhet.se/energi-och-r...

"Med ett nytt odlingssubstrat vill Pontus Lamberg minska klimatpåverkan från odling i växthus. Så här kan hans lösning ersätta torv och stenull och öka cirkulariteten." www.aktuellhallbarhet.se/energi-och-r...

– Velstående samfunn er samfunn med høye skatter og en stor stat. Det er et faktum. Europa har blomstret under høye skatter. Hvorfor? Fordi de politiske systemene er ansvarlige og skatteinntektene ikke kastes bort. 1/2 www.bygg.no/nobelprisvin...

🇬🇱🇺🇸 Nordic diplomats rejected Trump’s claims of Russian and Chinese vessels operating near Greenland, which he has invoked to justify his desire to seize island from Denmark, - FT Two top Nordic diplomats said there were no signs of Russian and Chinese ships or submarines in around Greenland.

Lägga sig i fosterställning och paralyserad ha ångest över samtiden? Nej, personligen känner jag mig mer än nånsin manad till aktivism, förändring, att ge små knuffar på det sätt jag kan till det stora fartyget som är värden för att få det mot rätt riktning.

A Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung report described a “far-right, openly antisemitic clique” inside the unit. Three-star General Harald Gante said he was “practically speechless” over both the abuses and how they were handled.

Sigh

while Western Europeans and Americans sit comfortably in their warm winter homes, Ukrainians are withstanding constant bombardment, literal ballistic missiles dropped on major cities including one 37 miles from Poland, and endless power & heating outages while holding the line for democracy

As of today the full scale invasion (3 day special military operation) officially lasts longer than the entire eastern front of ww2

Yet again, Elon Musk is pushing the insanely racist Great Replacement Theory that has directly inspired several mass murders from his fellow white supremacists. The richest man in the world who controls a massive media platform is *repeatedly* pushing this garbage and it should be a global scandal.

It's actually a good thing that previously apolitical normies are finally getting angry and starting to speak out. We need the numbers in the streets and at the polls. If your response to them is "no, fuck you, too late," then you don't actually care about stopping Trump. You're just preening.

The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

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

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.
