’Only the NSDAP can save Germany!’ Musk comes out and announces that only fascists can save Germany. Unsurprising, or course, but the mask has really come off now.

I Sverige har vi ett lågt bruk av cannabis och det är det som är det viktiga. Att vi sen inte kan vara riktigt säkra på att vi faktiskt har ett lågt bruk av cannabis är en annan fråga. Och den frågan ska inte diskuteras.

Sverige har langt på vei fulgt linjen til Sp og intensivert brukerjakt. Begrenser det tilgang?
Nye tall fra Eurobarometer viser at Sverige (nederst) er blant landene der det er lettest å få tak i syntetiske opioider, kokain og nye psykoaktive stoffer. Men weed er vanskelig.

Watching a cold-blooded assassination becoming normalized on the left isn’t actually surprising if you have been watching them for the past couple of years, but nonetheless is shocking to see play out in real-time

Good to be reminded of the referendum OTD 33 years ago on whether 🇺🇦 should seek independence. There was a clear YES majority in every single part of the country.

If I had a nickel for every time a Chinese ship was dragging its anchor on the bottom of the Baltic Sea in the vicinity of important cables I would have two nickels, which isn't much, but it's weird that it happened twice.

This is Putin's response to Scholz's phone call. Words show weakness and invite escalation, as always.

Woke up to massive explosions. Russia just launched its largest missile attack on Ukraine since August—over 50 missiles so far. Energy system is under attack, explosions everywhere. Clearly, this is Russia’s way of showing how committed they are to peace talks

Musk and Trump are attacking exactly those things that Timothy Snyder warns us about in his “On Tyranny”. It is institutions that make up democratic government, and that is what fascism wants to destroy. In fact, it starts by attacking our trust and belief in those institutions
