As long as you do not disclose who your donors are - whose interests you represent - your trust is zero. (translated)

Dousa: outrageous and often completely false statements about aid and corruption, but why doesn't he say anything about giving 100 million to Somalia's president - a bribery deal that the government tried to keep secret. (translated)

If the information about Russian connections regarding a person in Jimmie Åkesson's closest circle is true, it is extremely serious. Russia is a security threat to Sweden and is conducting intelligence operations here. The connections must be examined and the activities mapped out. Who has known what? (translated)

I had the joy and privilege of getting to know Gloria Steinem. She was smart, funny, kind, and determined. She gathered women around her, encouraged and inspired them. On her 90th birthday, she was still doing just that, beautiful and sharp. Rest in peace. (translated)

>40 billion to frigates. Does anyone dare to question this? Critics say: big price tag that pushes aside other things, wrong priority, the future demands smaller, faster, distributed systems. Ukraine has shown how vulnerable large ships are. Difficult to navigate in the Baltic Sea = not for our own defense but the Atlantic? (translated)

The foreign minister curses that she is not taken seriously regarding gender equality issues. Perhaps because voters see what the government is DOING - or not - for women and girls here and around the world. Reduced aid and support for UN efforts for women, closed women's shelters, teenage deportations… (translated)

The arrogance: Culture Minister Liljestrand promises to participate in the Arctic Art Summit in Umeå, then cites illness and does not show up. Great attendance from all other Arctic countries. But the culture minister was not so ill that she couldn't be with party friends in Nynäshamn according to her social media... (translated)

The world must do more right now: give Ukraine the frozen Russian assets, stop the Russian shadow fleet, and ensure that Ukraine gets the weapons it needs the most. (translated)

In a time when we are all exposed to quite aggressive marketing, especially when young people are affected by the pressure to buy - so much that some end up with the Enforcement Authority - do you know what Minister Slottner did? He removed ALL support to Sweden's Consumers who are fighting for. (translated)

But you are on the board for Sida, and what have you said about the contacts and bribes to the president of Somalia? (translated)
