Ida Gabrielsson questioned whether the Stureplanscenter was allowed to dictate the terms for the entire Center Party. She wrote that the Left Party and C governed together in many municipalities and regions, but that C risked leaving Stockholm without regional governance for tactical reasons related to national government negotiations, according to her. Gabrielsson stated that C had told the media that the party could let V in Stockholm when the government issue was resolved. She argued that C showed greater maturity and responsibility in collaborations elsewhere in the country, and warned that political games could create instability within Stockholm's healthcare. Gabrielsson questioned whether C could build stable collaborations and expressed concern for the party's ability to govern the country together with others. (translated)

Plainview called it undignified to allow certain individuals into the Swedish Parliament and wrote that there should be a limit. For Swedes to maintain their faith in democracy, according to Plainview, the members of Parliament needed to be Swedish, speak Swedish, and have an IQ level that was not comparable to a shoe size. #Sverige #Demokrati #Riksdag (translated)

Aron Flam wrote that the USA and Europe closed mines, gas fields, pipelines, refineries, and power plants, while the replacement was largely manufactured in China with cheap and largely dirty coal power. He stated that China accounted for 55.8 percent of the world's coal combustion in 2024 and produced 51.7 percent of the coal. That same year, the country began to build 94.5 gigawatts of new coal power, which according to Flam corresponded to 93 percent of all new coal power in the world and was the highest level in a decade. He also wrote that China burned more coal than all other countries combined and accounted for nearly a third of emissions. Flam stated that the USA had reduced its emissions by about 13 percent since 2010 and that the EU had reduced its emissions by more than 25 percent since the year 2000. During the same period, China, according to him, had increased its annual carbon dioxide emissions by over three billion tons – more than the entire EU's emissions. He claimed that the emissions thus remained, but were booked in the country that had taken over the factories. He also referred to an entire section on YouTube and wrote that the link was in the comments. #Klimatförändring #Koldioxidutsläpp #Energi (translated)

The economist criticized Swedish media for allegedly giving little attention to Tesla's Roadster, despite him describing it as a flying car. He compared the coverage to the significant space the media gave to new iPhone models with more megapixels and argued that Elon Musk's controversial stance seemed to weigh heavier than tech reporting. As an example of Aftonbladet's priorities, he mentioned headlines about Ingrosso's feelings, a 200-meter-long queue at a candy store, and celebrities picking mushrooms. He believed that potentially groundbreaking technology instead ended up far down the page or was met with criticism about the price. #journalistik #medier #Tesla (translated)

Roy called for the X account of the Russian embassy in the Netherlands to be scrutinized and for measures to be taken. He claimed that the account was spreading disinformation and propaganda and seemed to be aimed at undermining democracy and sowing division. He also mentioned that the account demanded responses from Dilan Yesilgöz. Roy referred to Yesilgöz's earlier statement that Russia was the enemy and questioned why there had been no intervention. He believed that Yesilgöz should summon the ambassador and issue a warning, and that the ambassador should be sent back to Moscow next time. As an alternative, he suggested closing the account. Roy described the embassy's activities on X as “(hybrid) warfare” and urged others to share his call or tag those involved. He stated that he had raised the issue several times before. #desinformatie #propaganda #democratie (translated)

The Court of Appeal in Warsaw deemed the appeal of the Institute of National Remembrance as "completely unfounded" in the case of an article regarding the transfer of vials containing soil from mass graves to volunteers, which underscores the importance of anti-SLAPP mechanisms in protecting freedom of speech. #IPN #SLAPP #dziennikarstwo (translated)

Johan Romin asked if anyone would be willing to let a party into the government if its candidates expressed support for Hamas, wrote antisemitic things, and participated in demonstrations that were perceived as extremely threatening to Sweden's Jewish minority. He wrote that the party was seen as full of such individuals, even though the recipient himself did not belong to the group. #Sverige #politik #antisemitism (translated)

Weird Duk stated in a podcast with Roel den Ouden that weak governance was causing the streets in the Netherlands to increasingly dictate terms. According to Duk, loud groups took over when authorities did not intervene in hate demonstrations where terrorist groups were praised. He called that dangerous and said that without authority, morality also disappeared. https://t.co/Cy73rK1vC3 #Nederland #politie #demonstraties (translated)

SARA Nilsson wrote that she felt grateful to still be able to breathe after her cancer illness. She attributed a crucial role in her fight to her children and Patrik, and also thanked her colleagues, people who raised money for the drug ENHERTU, Douglas, those who prayed for her, and the surgeons who removed tumors. She wrote that the treatment had shrunk the tumors and that the fight continued, but that she was no longer afraid. Nilsson also talked about Fredrik Vikström, whom she said had helped her navigate the healthcare system. According to Nilsson, Vikström had himself been palliative in 2018 after colorectal cancer and later reached a state of NED, “No evidence of disease.” She wrote that he had researched, sought solutions, and demanded changes within the healthcare system, and that he had become involved in the same way when she discovered a tumor under her skin last year. Vikström's book “Under varje sten” was, according to Nilsson, set to release at midnight. She wrote that it chronicled his journey from palliative care to NED and contained advice on making demands and finding one's way in Swedish healthcare. The book, according to her, made no promises of miracle cures or guaranteed recovery. She also stated that there was a free cancer manual and an app on Vikström's website. #cancer #tacksamhet #livskraft (translated)
