"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis

Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today.

We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

Svensk politik när den är som sämst - Tacka migrationsminister Johan Forssell & Co för det.

Vidrig, inhuman politik.

Barn födda i Sverige borde självklart få svenskt medborgarskap vid första andetaget (födseln).

Gabriella är född i Sverige och hennes mamma har tillräckligt hög lön enligt regelverket. Hennes pappa tjänar dock 4000 kr för lite. Konsekvensen är att hela familjen nu utvisas 💔

A little newsboy, @hermioneclone.bsky.social 📖
Of course shoelessness was present in the US, but she was presumably seeing a less desperate crowd than she was used to. Lewis Hine photographed this newsboy in 1914.

The question of whether the United States would come to Europe’s defense in a time of crisis seems less certain than the question of whether the United States will cause another European security crisis.

American culture from 1776 on was Black, was Indigenous, was Spanish, was Jewish, was Quaker, was a whole lot of different things which then often got together and made splendidly non-European things, and most of our music has an African mother.
We must speak plainly about the agenda Elon Musk & other MAGA leaders are pushing. It’s white nationalism.

There’s no room for Black, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, Native, Jewish or all other Americans in Musk’s monocultural vision.

Multiculturalism is superior. We can’t allow Musk & others to end it.

"It is beyond comprehension that the Senate confirmed this man to oversee America’s health. The risks are so immediate and constant that it can be difficult to keep track of them all." We can still try.

The middle powers are taking action. The EU /CPTPP starting talks this year to strike an agreement to intertwine supply chains of members like 🇨🇦 , 🇸🇬 , 🇲🇽 , 🇯🇵 , 🇻🇳 , 🇲🇾 and Australia 🇦🇺 with Euro 40 nations on opposite sides of the globe with the aim of reaching a deal on so-called rules of origin.
EXCLUSIVE: Canadian PM Mark Carney is spearheading discussions between the EU and a major Indo-Pacific trade bloc after calling on middle powers to join forces.

The aim is to short-circuit Donald Trump’s tariffs.

Svensk politik då den är som sämst och riktigt, riktigt ynklig.

Vi behöver ett system för att stötta och hjälpa drabbade människor. Det räcker inte att ”hoppas på det bästa”, uppenbarligen.

Föds man i Sverige bör man bli svensk medborgare vid första andetaget.

Valfråga?
