(+) Borgermestervalget vil få ringvirkninger langt utenfor New York
To demokrater er sikre vinnere i viktige valg i USA tirsdag. Men i et dommervalg i Pennsylvania er utfallet åpent, og det kan bli avgjørende for presidentvalget i 2028.
A historic day expected here in New York City tomorrow, when voters decide who will be the next mayor. The 34 year old progressive democrat Zohran Mamdani is the favorite, and his possible win will have national effects. My take @morgenbladet.no www.morgenbladet.no/samfunn/demo...

Kriseklubben Ep. 7: FN under press med Tove Gravdal
FN er i dyp krise, selv om det har vært mange kriser i de 80 årene organisasjonen har eksistert. FNs garantist, USA, er nå helt uinteressert i FNs virksomhet og i å betale 1,5 milliard dollar i gjeld til FN. Jeg snakker om dette og mer til i podkasten Kriseklubben: www.human.no/podkast/kris...?

Prosecuting the Powerful
Historical data shows putting leaders on trial is a healthy democratic practice.
Despite what men like Sarkozy, Trump, and Bolsonaro may insist, prosecuting a former president or prime minister is a normal and healthy thing for advanced democracies to do.

(+) Helgens demonstrasjoner kan være et tegn på hva som venter Trump
Fredsinnsats på bortebane klarer ikke å skjule Trumps fallende popularitet hjemme – det kan være skjebnesvangert før mellomvalget neste år.
No Kings-demonstrasjonene hadde massiv oppslutning, og reaksjonen fra Maga-leiren tyder på at de virker truende, mens målinger viser at Trumps politikk blir stadig mer upopulær. Min analyse @morgenbladet.no www.morgenbladet.no/samfunn/nar-...

After the rambling of Trump in the UN General Assembly Hall, it is a relief to hear a thoughtful state leader, like South Africa's Cyril Ramaphosa: "Trade is now being used as a weapon against a number of countries around the world". He asks for the trade embargo against Cuba to be lifted.

Trump spoke for 56 minutes, attacking green policy and president Biden. No harsh words for Putin or Netanyahu, who are both committing war crimes.

He keeps reeling off script, looking more and more like Fidel Castro who kept rambling on for 4,5 hours in the longest speech to date in the UN General Assembly (1960). He has been going on for 50 minutes, while time limit is 15 minutes.

President Trump spending most of his UN speech lashing out against allies in Europe, saying "your countries are going to hell", while Russia is killing Ukrainians, Israel is killing Palestinians, committing war crimes. He also boast about himself of course: "I am right about everything".

General Assembly president Annalena Baerbock: "We have to do better". "When the UN Charter is violated, is it the fault of the UN?" "No, the Charter has not failed, and the UN as an institution has not failed". "Imagine how much worse the world would have been without the UN".

Ganske usmakelig at @aftenposten.no fremstiller en smilende leder av reaksjonære Islam Net som talsperson for "norske muslimer". I 2015 var han en av dem som "unnskyldte" terrorangrepet mot Charlie Hebdo - det var liksom tegnernes egen skyld. www.aftenposten.no/norge/politi...

(+) Israel er i ferd med å bli en pariastat
EU skrur til presset mot Israel, og ni nye land vil anerkjenne Palestina som uavhengig stat. Selv ikke USAs støtte er hugget i stein.
Israel er i ferd med å bli en pariastat - det vil si diplomatisk, politisk og økonomisk isolert. Selv ikke USAs støtte er en selvfølge i fremtiden. Min analyse @morgenbladet.no www.morgenbladet.no/samfunn/isra...
