All ære til @aninehartmann.bsky.social og David som fortsetter å presse på her. Dette angår oss alle.

Jeg er forresten medlem i @pkinorge.bsky.social fordi uten innsats fra frivillige og sivilsamfunnet kollapser Norge. Meld deg inn du også!

Good morning, welcome back and happy Friday. In today’s newsletter:

Investors pour record sums into European stocks

Trump gives Iran 15 days to strike a deal or ‘bad things will happen’

How the private sector helped transform South Africa’s economy

And what ChatGPT said when asked to create an investment portfolio

&ampzwnj;
We begin with European equities, which have lured record sums from global investors, as a desire to reduce exposure to the US meets growing optimism over the state of the region’s economy. 

What to know: European stocks are heading for their highest-ever monthly inflows in February, following two consecutive record weekly flows of about $10bn, according to data from EPFR, which tracks ETF and mutual fund flows. 

The blue-chip Stoxx Europe 600 index has punched through a series of record highs this month, as have indices in the UK, France and Spain. 

Diversify, diversify: European bourses, with their heavy weighting to “old economy” sectors such as banks and natural resources, have benefited from big investors’ desire to branch out from Wall Street and its massive technology sector amid concerns over a potential AI bubble. Read the full story.

Go deeper: New data has emerged this week that offers an important cautionary note on the “sell America” narrative, writes Gillian Tett.

«Vanlig at medlemmer av komiteen (…) gir sekretæren beskjed hvis noen forsøker å gi dem gaver, gratis reiser eller andre fordeler som kan være indirekte økonomiske fordeler»

Vanlig? Virkelig?!

De er PÅLAGT å gjøre det i henhold til Nobelkomiteens eget regelverk!

We asked people who lived in homeless encampments that were cleared out in city “sweeps” to write about what object was the hardest for them to lose.

“They took my baby pictures and my moms obituaries,” a man in California wrote.

Australia’s new hate laws used to close Dissent Bar in Canberra as a “crime scene” because they had these artworks posted on their windows. The posters are confiscated. You can buy your own copies from www.growupart.com/product/the-.... This format is sold out but there’s t-shirts, other posters+++

These are the oligarchs who seek to rule every aspect of our lives, and the current US regime is doing everything possible to facilitate that because it is owned by them.

I am not suicidal. I eat healthy food. The brakes on my car and truck are in good shape. I practice good trigger discipline and never point a gun at anyone,  including myself. There are no deep pools of water on my farm and I’m a pretty good swimmer.

INBOX: Rep. Thomas Massie, who has enraged Trump for his insistence on blocking tariffs and releasing the Epstein files according to the law, just issued what is widely known among Chinese dissidents as "a declaration of no suicidal intent" (不自殺聲明), a sign of extreme distress.

Nobelkomiteen varsler mer åpenhet om gaver og økonomiske interesser Nobelkomiteen lover mer åpenhet, men sier de ikke kan legge frem gamle gavelister. Det er ikke bra nok, mener Rødt-politiker Bjørnar Moxnes.

Jeg synes dette er kjemperart. Jeg ikke fantasi til å forestille meg at Machado har betalt Toje millioner, ellr at Memorial har gitt Anne Enger luksustur til Karpatene. I høyden dreier det seg om en konjakkflaske for mye fra tid til annen. Så hvorfor i all verden er de så sta på å ikke utlevere det?

On Nov. 16, a mental health counselor recorded in Kamilla’s medical records that her mother reported the girl had lost her appetite after being “served food that contained worms.”

A week later, the couple said, children were told to gather in the gym for what they believed would be a Thanksgiving celebration. Excitement spread as families saw tables set with turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, they said. The children waited expectantly. But when a parent asked when the celebration would begin, Oksana said, staff told them the holiday meal was for employees, not detainees.

The children, she said, watched despondently as the feast was packed away.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

Dette vil neppe bli vektlagt i en offisiell gransking – og derfor er det viktig at en offisiell gransking av Epsteins norske forbindelser ikke blir en unnskyldning til å ikke grave i saken utenom granskingen.

NEW: Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons told Congress today that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked word of a raid, allowing gang members to clear out of apartments.

Those apartments were being cleared out weeks earlier.

Tonight, ICE deleted social media posts with the claim.

At Søviknes, og også Giske med flere, har fått fortsette ha noe som helst roller i offentligheten er en av tingene jeg aldri har forstått og er jevnlig rasende for.

Hvor mye verre kan det være? Ofre må få slippe å se overgripere i aviser og på TV!!

Vi skjønner at unge gutter filmer overgrep og deler de på nett fordi vi blir fortalt at så fort du har vært naken på nett så ødelegges livet ditt sant? De filmer ikke fordi de er inspirert av pornografi, de filmer fordi de vil ha MAKT og gjøre SKADE.

Nick Fuentes: “The number one political enemy in America is women. … They have to be imprisoned.”

Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”

Elon Musk postet om "rase" nesten hver eneste dag i januar. Men norsk presse nekter fortsatt å dekke hvor radikal og utpå han er.
