YB Södermalm wrote that many were concerned about how Swedish police would handle riots of the same magnitude as in France. He described the concern as justified and said that it would be difficult for most police forces in the world to manage such riots. At the same time, he emphasized Sweden's fundamental capability and the Nordic police cooperation. #Sverige #Polis #Kravaller (translated)

HWL wrote that the Wall Street Journal had reported on a planned tripartite meeting next month between Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump, and Xi Jinping to settle the issue of Ukraine, without Europe being invited. He argued that the information showed how failed the EU's foreign policy was and claimed that the great powers had taken over the issue. HWL asked whether a peace imposed by the great powers would be better than a war without end. #Utrikespolitik #EU #Stormakter (translated)

HWL wrote that they had seen information on social media about the left blaming the riots in France on Russia. They admitted that Russia was exploiting the situation and fueling the division, but claimed that it was the country's own politicians – not Putin – who had opened the borders, dismantled the judiciary, and allowed parallel societies to emerge. HWL also wrote that the politicians had the tools to stop the development within a week if they wanted, but for some unclear reason, they let the chaos continue. #politiskdebatt #socialamedier #Frankrike (translated)

Salle wrote that they were tired of hearing people who came to Sweden complain about a lack of future prospects, education, and jobs. They compared the complaints to what they believed to hear from certain youths who were creating chaos in France and claimed that Europe did not owe anyone a successful future. According to Salle, Europe offered freedom, education, democracy, and opportunities, but no guarantee of success. They wrote that those who wanted to create a future also needed to make an effort. To immigrants who described Europe as hopeless, Salle said they could return to their home countries. At the same time, they emphasized, as a contradiction, that people continued to risk their lives to get to Europe. #Framtid #Integration #Utbildning (translated)

Christer Sfeir wrote that Gustav III made Marstrand a free port in 1775 to attract foreign ships, merchants, and capital. According to Sfeir, Jewish merchants and families also came to the island, despite the fact that Jews' opportunities to settle and practice their religion in Sweden were then severely limited. He stated that one of Sweden's early Jewish congregations emerged in Marstrand and that Jews in 1782 were allowed to use a vault in Fredriksborg as a synagogue. The vault, according to Sfeir, still exists today. He also wrote that the emigration began when the free port ended in 1794 and that many moved on to Gothenburg, where they became connected to the city's trade and community life. #Marstrand #Sverige #Historik (translated)

Erik Hansén wrote that he had seen someone claim that those who day trade and earn 1 percent per day would double their money in 70 days. If the returns continued and no money was withdrawn, an initial capital of 100,000 kronor, according to Hansén, would make the person one of Sweden's richest after five years. After ten years, the capital would, according to his reasoning, surpass the value of all the listed companies in the world several times over. #daytrading #investering #förmögenhet (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)

August Spångberg wrote that he feared ÖSK could have been the last team where Rikard Norling was seen at an elite level. He stated that he had written a few lines about Norling, whom he described as his favorite person. https://t.co/R9eGvUJIKV #ÖSK #Fotboll #RikardNorling (translated)

Mats Yxhäll accused SVT of once again missing the connection between shut down and halted nuclear power and the water reservoirs. He claimed that more of the old reactors, as well as two new reactors since last year, would have been in operation if the Social Democrats had not given the Green Party free rein. According to Yxhäll, this electricity production would have reduced the need for hydropower and made the reservoirs fuller. He wrote that the shutdown of what he called the world's best electricity system and the dependency on weather-dependent wind power now had consequences. #Kärnkraft #Energipolitik #Sverige (translated)

Ledarsidorna.se wrote that when Sweden joined the EU in 1995, the country had three recently independent neighboring countries on the other side of the Baltic Sea, but that the social democratic government instead focused on Islam in Europe and the Mediterranean region. According to the site, a Swedish-funded conference the following year recommended that the dialogue between Europe and the Muslim world should have a secretariat in Sweden. The site linked this to the fact that all five Swedish social democrats in the European Parliament, according to the post, voted against a strategy against Islamist entryism 30 years later. It also claimed that the background made Margot Wallström's and Morgan Johansson's attitudes toward Israel understandable and described it as hate. Ledarsidorna.se announced that an article on the subject would be published the next morning around 6:00 AM. #svpol #EU #Sverige #politik (translated)

Daniel Schatz referred to Fredrik Malm's text, where Malm claimed that Sweden and the Western world focused disproportionately on Palestine and neglected the vulnerability of other groups. He mentioned Kurds, Iranians, and Christians in the Middle East. Malm wrote that Kurds in Turkey had been forbidden to speak their language and identify as Kurds for 70 years, and that Kurds in Iraq had been subjected to war since the 1960s and genocide in the 1980s. According to Malm, Human Rights Watch had reported that 182,000 people had been killed. He also claimed that Yasser Arafat had supported the genocide and compared the war history of the Kurds with Palestinian factions, which he claimed had started ten wars in 60 years. Regarding Iran, Malm wrote that the opposition to the Islamic regime had protested for freedom, while the regime had tried to kill Iranians abroad. He accused the Swedish Palestine movement of supporting the mullahs and described how Iranians had, according to him, been silenced, tortured, and killed for more than 40 years. Malm stated that Christians constituted 20 percent of the population of the Middle East at the beginning of the 20th century, and at most 2.5 percent today. He also referred to ISIS persecution of Christian Assyrians and Syriacs in Mosul in 2014. Malm claimed that Islamism and war had driven Christians to flee and criticized Palestinian activists for celebrating the Muslim Brotherhood and Islamist terror. https://t.co/WUoOR5opO7 #Kurdistan #Mellanöstern #HumanRights (translated)

The writer stated that they did not trust information from Iran's regime, but that an execution of an 18-year-old girl, if the information was accurate, would be a new low. They claimed that this was what the Islamists wanted and described the Iranian regime as a murderous regime with support from Putin and now also Trump. The writer concluded by calling the world tragic. https://t.co/5W3g3siQgN #Iran #MänskligaRättigheter #Politik #IR #RU #US (translated)
