The day after the election, the explanations are already ready and the guilty parties identified. But behind the Social Democrats' loss of voters, there is a question that the overly confident judges are skipping over. What did those who left the party actually want to achieve? (translated)

The AI companies themselves warn that humans may lose control. But in the election debate, the question soon becomes a struggle over corporate conditions. How do you make politics out of a transformation that neither follows national borders nor the division between right and left? (translated)

Swedes are raised to see themselves as the problem. But what happens when they themselves become targets? Under all criticism of Jens Ganman's "The Swedish Genocide," humiliation violence and the anger over a changed Sweden that hardly fits into the election campaign. (translated)

DN has not only reported but also determined which image of reality has been allowed to be seen and what has been pushed aside. In the book "Rikslikaren," @JohanLundberg examines how opinion shaping has affected news reporting, from the apathetic children and REVA to Gaza. (translated)

Our identity as democrats has become increasingly important, while self-governance has become increasingly restricted. As Sweden approaches the election, there are reasons to ask an uncomfortable question: How much of our own destiny do we still determine ourselves? (translated)

Sweden likes to talk about the gender gap. But in SCB's latest survey, the background gap is just as large – and may grow as the voter base changes. Moreover, the gender gap is large among voters with Swedish backgrounds but small among those with foreign backgrounds. Group identity trumps. (translated)

When a politician starts with "as a liberal," you know that a problem will soon be declared unsolvable. Elisabeth Thand Ringqvist's (C) defense of the right to wear a burqa reveals a larger question: how did it become liberal to protect this reactionary view of women? (translated)

I have contacted parents of children/youth who attend schools with children from criminal clans or other criminal networks. And how it affects other children (and adults) in the school, especially if threats/violence occur. Please feel free to write to me about it: ivar.arpi(a)kvartal.se (translated)

Have the politicians given up on the rural areas? National road 62 is threatened by landslides, but the state seems to value EU-protected nature higher than people's lives. The whole country should live, it's said. But no one presents a policy for that. Today's UAK is about those who are forgotten. And Carola! (translated)

Read @moreno_federico about how the Social Democrats in Rosengård have marked ballots, organized vote mobilization, and methods that raise questions about the party's view on electoral influence. (translated)

One can summarize it like this: an attack on a leftist journalist is a threat to democracy, while an attack on a right-wing journalist is a defense of democracy. (translated)

Jason Arday learned to read at 18, ran 96 miles in six days, survived a brain tumor, and became Cambridge's youngest black professor ever. Now he has resigned after allegations of plagiarism. Why did the academy want to believe in him so much? (translated)

Citizen Vigilante is not good at all, but it has still hit a nerve. Where critics see dangerous propaganda, the audience recognizes the Western European reality: crime, migration, and a state that no longer seems to stand on the side of the law-abiding. (translated)

It is obvious that Spain cannot, or does not want to, control its border with Morocco. They should be suspended from Schengen until they can do so. Maintaining an order that does not exist is foolish behavior. (translated)

Education was the middle class's insurance against the future. That insurance no longer applies. (translated)

Tonight, France meets its own export products: Morocco. The World Cup shows that the true boundaries of elite football do not lie between national flags, but between the football factories that shape the players. And that Norway's national team has more diversity than Sweden's. (translated)

DN reproduces a report on the importance of money for a long and healthy life. In Djursholm, people live longer than in Rinkeby. But if one does not take background into account, primarily time in the country, these kinds of publications can be misleading. Vaccination programs, etc. (translated)

Is there a World Cup in tolerance too? I read in DN Culture that @JohannesKlenell believes that Sweden's Muslims are all jihadists. And that it seems to be something he welcomes. (translated)

Psychopath. Supervillain. Anyway. Mosquito off, you old woman. This is how Agnes Wold was met when she wanted to convert her grandchild if it claimed to be born in the wrong body. But what does the new law on conversion prohibition look like? (translated)

Tidö has shifted the equality policy towards honor, violence, and oppression. But how much of the old gender apparatus still exists? Ivar Arpi meets with the Minister of Equality Nina Larsson (L). (translated)
