Den här artikeln är så viktig. Det som Petter Larsson tar upp här och @vanstrastranden.bsky.social även visar i sin forskning om svensk opinion utgör kontexten för min avhandling om relationen mellan sv journalistik och flyktingrörelsen 2013-2023. Snart snart är jag klar med den!
Petter Larsson: Det som utlöste flyktingkrisen var inbördeskriget i Syrien. Det som stoppade den var varken idiotierna om miniminivåer, slopade permanenta uppehållstillstånd eller inskränkt familjeförening.
Medier måste sluta sprida lögner om flyktingkrisen
Krig skapade flyktingströmmen, inte generös invandringspolitik.

Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy.
For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy.
The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.

Labour should be defending the BBC. A mistake was made, but despite being politicised by Tory infiltration in recent years, they still provide a great service. This passivity in the face of fascistic Trump and Farage is pathetic. We will go the way of the US if we don’t defend our institutions

You may have missed this gem yesterday. From which we learn that:
1. Betting shops are really good for the mental health of isolated people.
2. Most drug-takers are not a problem.
3. Kids put tuppence in slot machines in the hope of getting rich.
4. Farage probably has a gambling industry donor.
