Skrämsel och övervakning bakom Chopchop-leendet – så styrs krogkedjan Populära restaurangen gick med 297 miljoner i vinst förra året.

Trots nytt kollektivavtal efter att detta uppmanades så bör alla vara medvetna om ChopChops inhumana betende mot sina anställda.

Deconstructing the mythmaking and propaganda generated by the US does not mean you have to accept the mythmaking and propaganda generated by the IRGC

Elektrifiering är inte bara för miljön utan ren vettig ekonomisk politik. Det kommer leda till mer ekonomisk vinning om vi genomför det än inte. Även om det kan inledande kosta.

Experten: Rusande oljepriset ett ”mardrömsscenario” Det rusande oljepriset kommer leda till högre kostnader vid svenska pumpar redan denna vecka. Men olja är grundbulten i hela världsekonomin och störningarna kan på sikt leda till allt från högre in...

Regeringen har medvetet fördröjt elektrifieringen med högre skatter på el, avskaffad bonus för elbilar och lägre på bensin och diesel. Nu betalar vi priset för det när vi tankar bilen.

Europe needs to seize all Islamic Regime nepobabies assets outside of Iran.

The money should be used to create a fund for the Iranian people.

May the Islamic Regime Fall
May Pahlavi stay far away
May the Israeli-Americans end their Imperialism.

And may Iran win their own freedom.

3/3 But I think that take was naive and built on vague hope.

Never did I think the US or Israel where justified. I solely believed in the chaos of reality.

All power should rest with the people of Iran.

No Shah
No Ayatollah
No American-Israeli puppet
No War.

2/3 A part of me did hope that the chaos and power vacuum could allow the iranian opposition to overthrow the Islamic regime using the chaos.

I still hope that this can help cause an enviroment to bring down the regime.

1/3 I had a rather naive take on things initially. And I will own up to that.

I never contemplated that the US itself would cause change. Nor did I see the war as good, its unjust and causes untold suffering.

Vänsteriranier organisera er - Internationalen En del diasporairanier, de högljudda rojalisterna framför allt, verkar se sig själva som huvudpersonerna. Deras kärlek till hemlandet, accepterar bombandet av detsamma och åtföljs också av ett farligt...

🔴 Vi vänsteriranier måste höja våra röster och organisera oss. Vi är många även om vi inte hörs. Shora -gruppen i Sverige till exempel visar vägen som organiserar sig både mot krig och mot regimen i Iran.

"Rebellions are built on hope."

The true enemy the government is pushing is hopelessness, apathy and resignation.

Focus on the hope, nurture it with anger. Things can change, history has proven it so many times.

Sunday thought: We will prevail Finding courage in a dark time

It’s been a hard week. If you’re feeling angry, you’re not alone. I see it in your comments. I’m struck by how you are fighting back against this tyranny, nonetheless.

You are giving me hope.

Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-we-will-prevail

This has always bothered reading discussions about fiction online.

God forbid a woman character has actual problems or flaws. The general scathing, almost utter loathing, especially from men is insane.

Books Are Meant to Be Slow The erosion of deep reading weakens our capacity to grasp complex ideas.

Debuterar i min amerikanska favorittidskrift @theatlantic.com idag, med en essä om varför Andrew Tate har fel om böcker: långsamheten är själva poängen med dem!

You are projecting on the last point. Because the Trump presidency has become synonymous with breaking international law and death.

He almost started a third world war over Greenland. He is threatening to invade Cuba.

He made ICE his personal Gestapo.

I would be yelling at Biden and Kamala if they won. I am open with that. I don't support her.

I didn't call anyone evil because its such a childish take. I called those who didn't vote complicit in Trump winning. The democrats where equally complicit for not listening.

Iran won't physically invade Israel. There is no liberation coming from this war. Israel is not gonna stop, and it's expanding it into Lebanon as we speak.

But every person who has died because of Trump being elected died because you couldn't care about more than a single issue.

I am harsh, but that is the reality.

Life doesn't go after moral wins or high ground. You didn't leave that election with your morals intact no matter what you choose.

It might sound reassuring to yourself to say that your vote shows that you aren't complicit in what is going on.

But that isn't how the world works.

The democrats proved Gaza lost them the election, and it just proves how much Israel has succeeded in lobbying.

I am just amazed at the fact that you people have such tunnelvision that only one atrocity matters more than other atrocities.

Your tax payer money is now going to Israeli weapons. It already did. It goes to bombing iranian schools.

I just remembered what 4 years of Trump already had done. I saw what would come for trans people and non-white people. I expected wars that wouldn't have had to have been fought.

Kamala wouldn't have declared war on Iran.

We knew USAID would be cut. It was no secret. And it has already killed more, and will kill more than the gazan genocide. It was fully avoidable.

But people don't understand that politics is partially pragmatism. I absolutely detest the democrats, you claim I "support" them. But you are wrong.

I can't really see single issue voters on Israel-Palestine as anything but privileged if they didn't vote. Why?

Because many didn't think they'd face the consequences. Good thing that they have to now because Trump is such a uniform destructive force.

I do call out those who didn't vote, because one can't just leave the democratic system. The consequences of what happens is on every voters conscience.

Those who didn't vote obviously didn't do it out of evil. They often did it because they had strong moral cores, but where arguably naive.

Do you believe in accelerationism or something?

I dislike people who talk about "evil" and "good" in politics as if it's a game of rhetorics. It's the same moralism that Bush used when invading Iraq, doesn't matter which side uses it.

And that is not an endorsement of what Kamala would have done.

How many are dying in Iran.

How many more will ICE kill in the US?

How many will die if the US also invades Cuba which is their next goal?

When will you accept that sometimes a lesser evil matters? It's not even like you spared Palestinians by not voting because it's worse than it'd have been.

09.03.2026 12:59 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 2 📌 0

You don't think I know that?

Does it change the fact that Trump is practically doing the same, except he is also selling them more weapons and greenlighting them invading both Iran and Lebanon.

But beside that. How many are not dying to cutting of USAID.

How many are dying due to the BBB.
