Utsläppen av växthusgaser i Sverige ökade med 7 procent 2024 jämfört med året innan - största ökningen sedan 2010 då ekonomin återhämtade sig efter finanskrisen Utsläppsökningen är större än vad som bedömts i underlaget till regeringens klimatredovisning www.dn.se/sverige/sver...

The total amount of public land that Trump wants to make available for sale is equivalent to more than TWICE the size of CALIFORNIA. All to pay for tax cuts to some of the richest people in world history.

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant. This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.

Yet another elected Democratic official violently arrested and detained by Trump’s ICE Gestapo. This isn’t frog in boiling water. This fascism is happening quickly, clearly, brazenly.

Brad Lander--comptroller of the city of New York, and one of the leading mayoral candidates--has just been arrested by masked federal thugs. @bradlander.bsky.social www.amny.com/news/brad-la...

Detta är så cyniskt. Starta krig med tusentals dödsoffer för att "trycka tillbaka" den inrokespolitiska oppositionen www.dn.se/varlden/expe...

"Arbetslösheten i Sverige ligger nu på 9,7 procent, enligt SCB:s senaste arbetskraftsundersökning. Det är en hel procentenhet högre än samma tid förra året"

I worked on a piece about a year ago on how some form of nationalisation of USS could be instrumental for the development of green steel in the US, but didn't finish it. However, I don't think it is a coincidence that the world-leading HYBRIT project is led by firms that all have state involvement

Hah! Ska fixa administrativa grejer angående min son. I Danmark gör jag det online på tre minuter. I Sverige måste jag ringa Skatteverket för att sitta i kö i över en timme.

US Steel seems to have been quasi nationalized www.nytimes.com/2025/06/15/u...

After reading a dozen reviews, I decided to get the real thing. Let’s see if they are amazing or terrible

The rise of solar in Pakistan has really been steep. From 15.8% or total generation (1.48 TWh) in March 2024 to 27.9% (3.19 TWh) in March 2025!

Dani Rodrik: Advanced economies’ most glaring failure, reflected in divided societies and polarized politics, has been their inability to deliver adequate numbers of good jobs for non-college-educated workers. Those who produce abundance are those who need it the most.

Det är en olycklig dubbel utveckling att internet gick från att vara öppet och fritt till att "inhägnas" av olika kommersiella aktörer samtidigt som internet blev strukturellt viktigt för i princip all kommunikation

Kinas import av fossil energi i maj månad: - kol 18%⬇️ - olja 1%⬇️ - gas 9%⬇️ Nu har även elpriserna fallit, vilket ökar pressen på att till slut prioritera mellan förnybart och kol

When the Trump administration froze this Nobel Prize–winning neuroscientist's research funding, he received an email from China offering to relocate his lab to any city and university of his choice, with guaranteed funding for 20 years. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/03/u...

Kontrasten.

Intressant hur det att "blanda befolkningen" nu blivit en angreppspunkt från högern Från Bevara Sverige Svenskt till Bevara Sverige Segregerat - gärna exploaterbar arbetskraft men nej till jämlikhet och frihet

Historiskt låg arbetslöshet i EU Historiskt hög arbetslöshet i Sverige

How on earth can this country still hold the World Cup and Olympics next year??

Military style ICE raids in our communities. David Huerta was beaten and dragged away. Because he saw them and stood up for justice. Because he’s not afraid. Neither are we. On MONDAY let's #FreeDavidHuerta, #FreeThemAll 11:00 AM @ Grand Park in Downtown LA (200 N Grand Ave)
