Trade union leader Gennadij Fedynich:
“Political prisoners are often placed in solitary confinement, and then you are only allowed to shop for a minimal amount of money in the prison shop. It’s an outrage…

Trade union leader Aljaksandr Jarasjuk:
“Sjtjklov-kolonin is a torture factory, led by the policeman Karnienka. Already the first night in solitary confinement I thought I would not survive — and I was 72 years old at the time.

Old Ukrainian strategies - works also in modern times :) (Referencing Olga of Kyiv sending birds with burning sticks..)

Historical reference for today's drone attacks:
Olga of Kyiv did something similar. (She sent pidgeons to burn the enemy.)

The Belarus dictature has declared the Belarusian Social Democratic Party – Hramada an "extremist organization." The party was formally dissolved already in September 2023 and has since operated in exile. The Swedish Social Democrats have cooperated with and supported the BSDP since 1991.

Tariffs on films produced outside the USA. Great idea. No more nature documentaries about penguins, for example. At least not without 100% tariffs!!

Who/what country inspired him the most? 1) Nazi Germany 2) Soviet Union (had a famous Hero Mother program, with medals) or could it be 3) Russia, today? (In August 2022, Putin reinstated the "Mother Heroine" title to address the country's declining birth rate, more soldiers needed.)

You all recognize the Greenland flag by now, yes? Putin (and Trump) says the US has "deep historical roots" on Greenland. The Greenlanders comment:

The vote is completed in the UN GA on the resolution in support of Ukraine. The US submitted an alternative draft resolution, which did not mention Russia as the aggressor.
Ukraine's proposal won.
The US, along with some of the worst dictatorships in the world, voted no.

We saw him and the entire presidential family from far. History, sometimes it comes close (even if it wasn't THAT close 😛 ).
R.I.P Jimmy Carter.

It was hot in Rome on June 19, 1980, and we were, young social democrats from Stockholm, were inter-railing and visiting the Vatican. Lots of people gathering, because President Carter was there.

A Norwegian comic strip (by Borge Lund), already a classic:
"So what do you wish for, for Xmas, little one?"
"Peace."
"Oh that's so sweet. But say, if you want something from the grandparents, what would it be?"
