Europe can’t defend itself without the US, NATO’s Rutte warns The EU should stop dreaming of creating a European pillar for NATO and continue to build ties with the U.S. despite Trump, the alliance secretary-general said.

His current obsequiousness, his hardcore austerity stance during the Euro crisis and general awfulness in Dutch politics. Mark Rutte is low-key contender for worst European politician of this century

The murders of Alex Pretti and Renee Good send a terrifying signal to protesters: if you are against us, we can kill you with impunity. This is a classical authoritarian strategy. Increase the costs of opposing the regime to stop people from protesting.

De har haft 10 år. De har ikke gjort deres arbejde. De sidste år har de aktivt gjort os mere afhængige. Våben indkøb ala F35, storindkøb af amerikansk LNG gas

Denmark and large parts of Europe have been actively making us more dependent on US in recent years - buying american weapons system, ramping up import on LNG gas from the US.

We all know the playbook by now. The immediate crisis is over, and European leaders will slip back into their subservient posture—hoping this will all blow over so we can return to the ’90s. Here’s Denmark’s (!) foreign minister last night, still calling the US our “closest and most important ally”

We ran a progressive slate for the Akademikerpension board elections 10 years ago (and won), because we wanted fossil fuel divestment. I don’t think we ever imagined we might one day help trigger a margin call on U.S. Treasuries.

Once again it shows that, whereever it's possible, one of the most effective form of activism is getting involved in how your pension funds are invested

I'm really proud to have been one of the lead authors of Oxfam’s global inequality report this year.

And honestly a bit overwhelmed by the impact it’s having this morning. When you’re used to your writing being read by a couple hundred fellow nerds, this is something else.

Yes, cropped too much

Happy times in Copenhagen this morning

@oxfam.se: Sveriges 46 rikaste personer äger mer i förmögenhet än nästan 80% av befolkningen – 8 miljoner människor.

Samtidigt lever 700 000 svenskar i fattigdom enligt SCB och den siffran har ökat med 120 000 på ett år

Rich people are a threat for democracy, Oxfam finds Total billionaire wealth in the EU reached €2.4 trillion by late November, exceeding Italy's entire GDP of €2.2 trillion and approaching France's €2.9 trillion economy, a new Oxfam report found.

Rich people are a threat for democracy, Oxfam finds

It’s crucial that we don’t just manage the political chaos and democratic crises we’re seeing. We need to tackle the root causes, not only the symptoms.

Billionaires don’t just influence politics from the shadows anymore - increasingly, they hold power directly.

New research shows 11% of the world’s billionaires have held political office. That means billionaires are thousands of times more likely to enter political office than ordinary people.

From India and Russia to Latin America and the Middle East, we’re seeing the same trend:
wealth concentration → political capture → democratic backsliding.

The clearest example right now is the US: a billionaire-friendly government, and powerful tech oligarchs shaping politics and public life. But this fusion of money and power is global.

his year’s focus: the link between inequality and democracy.Because inequality isn’t just a social policy issue. Extreme inequality can undermine democracy and the rule of law.

Me 2025: No kings!
Me 2026: Except his majesty Frederik X,
King of Denmark. May death come swiftly to his enemies.

neolithic guys get pissed if you tell them their cultures are organized by the type of pots and jewelry they made. "we called ourselves the blood hunters" "we conquered villages far beyond this horizon" sorry bud you're the western linear pottery culture now

Massive crowds on the street in Copenhagen in solidarity with Greenland and against US aggression. Thousands of Greenlandic flags 🇬🇱💪

i think i’m fully in on “the white house is run by thirtysomething chuds who think grand strategy games are real life”
