@mollymaja531 @MorKarins Statens Tvångsmedier är fr.a. köpta av V och MP.

@ElisabethSvan Jag har länge hävdat att partierna bör ta kontroll över förvalsdebatterna genom en egen, partssammansatt kommission. En förebild finns i USA, där det är den partiägda "The Commission on Presidential Debates" som arrangerar debatter före presidentvalet.

Nu är vi i ett nytt men tydligt läge i svensk politik. De två regeringsalternativen är nu klara. Vänsterpartiet har fattat beslutet att rösta nej till alla regeringar som de själva inte ingår i, precis som MP också har gjort.
En S-V-MP-regering efter valet skulle bli den mest vänstervridna någonsin. Det skulle vara riktigt skadligt för Sverige. Mot en rödgrön vänsterregering kommer vi ställa en blågul med fyra partier som både kan och vill samarbeta och bilda en majoritetsregering som håller den kurs som vi har stakat ut.
För att underlätta för väljarna att jämföra de två regeringsalternativen utmanar därför Moderaterna det vänstra regeringsalternativets tre ledande företrädare på debatter:
Statsminister Ulf Kristersson utmanar Socialdemokraternas partiledare på debatt om riktningen för Sverige och de två regeringsalternativen.
Jag utmanar Vänsterpartiets ledare Nooshi Dadgostar på debatt om den ekonomiska politiken.
Justitieminister Gunnar Strömmer utmanar Miljöpartiets språkrör på debatt om brottsbekämpningen.

@MeanwhileInUA King Carl Gustaf is also the most senior statesman to visit Ukraine during the war. He will be 80 on April 30! Kudos sir!
English

Sweden’s king did not begin his visit in a palace.
He began by honoring Ukraine’s fallen.

King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden began his visit to Ukraine by honoring our fallen warriors together with President Zelenskyy. For Ukraine, this matters deeply: these defenders fought not only against Russian aggression on our land, but to stop Russian killing and madness from spreading further into Europe.
ㅤ
The world should remember who stopped Russian violence from spreading across Europe.

@ChPalme Men om de har barn kan de väl inte skriva bort hela arvet? (har inte svd så jag kan inte läsa hela)

Jag fick nyligen höra om ett fall i Sverige där ett dement par hade lurats att i ett testamente skriva över en förmögenhet till en bedragare. I bl.a. Tjeckien och Tyskland skulle det vara omöjligt.
SvD Debatt publicerar i morgon ett inlägg av mig om detta: svd.se/a/k0veL9/stopp…

@JPLindsley King Carl Gustaf will be 80 years old on April 30.
English

Karl XVI Gustaf, King of Sweden, is the first reigning monarch to visit war-zone Ukraine.
This is huge: Previously countries would not send their "irreplacables."
His Majesty visisted Lviv, where along with Zelensky he placed flowers for the war-dead, and he also visited school children, a bombed Catholic church, and the Superhumans center for those who have lost limbs because of Russia's war.
"För Sverige – i tiden" — as the king's royal motto says: "For Sweden—with the times."

@MariaStenergard Riksdagen röstade om NATO-medlemskap den 22 mars 2023. Omröstningen utföll med 269 JA och 37 NEJ. 43 ledamöter var frånvarande. Samtliga närvarande ledamöter från Vänsterpartiet ("Sverges kommunistiska parti, sektion av tredje internationalen") och från Miljöpartiet röstade NEJ.
Svenska

Gång på gång påstår Johar Bendjelloul i Ekots lördagsintervju att MP röstade ja till Nato, trots att MP röstade nej. Förvisso försöker S sätta bilden att man får samma säkerhetspolitik med vänsteroppositionen som med regeringen, men nog måste man kunna ställa krav på att Sveriges Radio känner till att både V och Mp röstade nej till Nato?

@RpsAgainstTrump Actually, the world laughs so much that it's almost choking...

King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden began his visit to Ukraine by honoring our fallen warriors together with me. We are deeply grateful for this gesture of respect.
The memory of each and every one of them is very important to us – the defenders of Ukraine who fought against Russian aggression. They fought not only for our country, but also for the protection of all of Europe, so that Russian madness and killing would not spread further.
Eternal memory to our fallen heroes!

King Carl XVI Gustav of Sweden is visiting Ukraine today in a sign of solidarity. The King, who will be 80 years old on 30th of April, met Ukraine's president Volodomyr Zelenskij in Lviv in the western part of the country.

just spent 2 weeks in china. went into it thinking we're cooked. came back more bullish on america than ever. here's why:
1. chinese citizens are way more chronically online. on the subway, train, anywhere, literally everyone is glued to their phone. gaming, short form, wechat. "don't walk and look at your phone, it's dangerous!" announcements flood crowded areas. their tiktok isn't any better, its still garbage, soft-core porn, etc.
2. everyone's using AI — deepseek, kimi, doubao. but nobody's afraid of losing their job to it. here it feels like there's an existential crisis every week. in china, nothing. i think the CCP won't let companies mass-layoff workers. great for short-term stability. terrible for long-term competitiveness on a global scale.
3. china doesn't produce weirdos. i sat in on a class at tsinghua (china's MIT). not one student spoke unless the professor read their name out loud. no questions. no debate. chinese education produces world-class executors, not contrarians. it does make it a safer place to live though.
4. china doesn't have christianity but it has something america doesn't have: a shared story everyone believes in. every person age 25-70 watched their country go from abject poverty to skyscrapers in one lifetime. that kind of collective proof has a deep unifying effect. compare that to how divided we are right now. america has a huge meaning vacuum that needs to be filled.
nevertheless, i return back to my home in america reinvigorated. because everything i saw confirms one thing: china optimizes. america innovates. and the innovators always win.

Solovyov/Goebbels is clearly rattled. Hahaha!
Anton Gerashchenko@Gerashchenko_en
Hahaha! "Hungary has never really mattered to us," "We should forget about Europe," "We’ve always been at war with Hungary," "Hungarians are Ukrainians!" - Russian propagandist Solovyev rolled out a new propaganda script.

@anderslindberg Så oerhört korkat och okunnigt av Lindberg. Tisza är faktiskt Moderaternas systerparti i Ungern, men är samtidigt betydligt mer konservativa.

@McFaul Thinking? Do they have the instrument used for thinking (known as a " brain").

With all due respect to the Office of the President, this post contains several claims that are factually inaccurate and theologically misguided, and as a Catholic I feel compelled to respond.
1. The Pope was not elected to please any president.
Pope Leo XIV was elected by 133 cardinals from across the world in a sacred conclave, on the fourth ballot, on May 8, 2025. 
The Holy Spirit guides the conclave, not American politics.
To suggest that “if I wasn’t in the White House, Leo wouldn’t be in the Vatican”  is not only historically ignorant but theologically offensive to every Catholic on earth.
2. He was not an unknown outsider.
Pope Leo XIV served as Prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops under Pope Francis, one of the most powerful roles in the Vatican, responsible for selecting bishops for dioceses worldwide. 
He was one of the most qualified candidates in the College of Cardinals.
3. He is deeply rooted in service, not politics.
An Augustinian missionary who worked for decades in Peru, Pope Leo XIV dedicated his life to the poor and the Gospel long before any political figure noticed him. 
His name honors Leo XIII, the Pope who championed workers’ rights and the poor during the Industrial Revolution, a tradition of Catholic Social Teaching that predates any modern political party.
4. The Pope’s role is prophetic, not partisan.
When the Pope speaks on peace, nuclear weapons, immigration, or the dignity of nations, he is fulfilling the mission of Christ, not opposing any government.
His first words as Pope were “Peace be with you all,”  echoing the Risen Christ (John 20:19).
A Pope who is silent on injustice would be failing his divine mandate.
5. Demanding a Pope “get in line” with a president contradicts 2,000 years of Church history.
From St. Peter before Nero, to St. Thomas More before Henry VIII, to John Paul II before Soviet communism, the Church has never existed to validate earthly power.
“We must obey God rather than men.” (Acts 5:29)
As Catholics, we pray for all leaders, including President Trump.
But we stand firmly with our Holy Father.
Habemus Papam. And he answers to God alone.
