@branhattan gör lip synchs av Trump som bög, och de är helt fantastiska. Tycker det märks när han försökt haka på högerpopulisnens olika hbtq-fientliga utspel att Trump liksom inte riktigt bottnar i det, för man vet att han ÄLSKAR en queen. I den goda tidslinjen är han Babsan istället.

Fint reportage om några av de flyktingar som kom hit 2015. "”Jag träffade min blivande fru, Reham, på en Black Friday-rea ett år efter att jag kommit till Sverige. Hon är från Aleppo och jag från Damaskus – hon har hela sin stora familj här och jag var helt själv." www.dn.se/tio-ar-efter...
Så är deras liv – tio år efter flyktingkrisen
Flyktinghösten 2015 berättade 100 personer som nyss kommit till Sverige i DN om sina historier, planer och drömmar. Efter tio år återser vi 16 av dem. Blev livet som de tänkt sig?

Tad Stoermer: ”Danish students asked sharp questions about navigating a world where American scholarship has been weaponized to produce "academic slop."

But the question that stayed with me: how long will this last?

I told them to strap in. This is a generational fight.”

"Since the full-scale invasion began, I have witnessed a lot of destruction. It is always hard to swallow. But today Russia hit a different nerve. It hit the memory of a peaceful life of the past that we had lost," writes Kateryna Hodunova, Kyiv Independent's news editor, in this op-ed.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

Trump is trying to rule like a king. Sending masked agents into our cities. Targeting immigrant families. Terrorizing our communities.

But this country does not belong to kings or dictators. It belongs to us.

Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election?

Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official.

Be warned.

When there’s no water,
You start valuing every drop.
When there’s no electricity,
Every candle feels like luxury.

When there’s war -
You learn how strong you actually are.

"Energy dominance," you say?

As of this year, *China is exporting more clean-energy technology than the US is exporting the dirty stuff*.

The future is green energy & China, not the US, is set to dominate it.

"Ge staten en aktiv roll i bostadsförsörjningen igen – genom investeringar, subventioner och planering.

Rikta stödet till de som behöver det mest, inte till de som redan äger.

Stärka allmännyttan och hyresrätten och skapa verkliga alternativ till spekulationsmarknaden"
