Sitra: Somekeskustelun taso on niin huono, että se on uhka demokratialle Nuoret kertovat somen poliittisen sisällön synnyttävän heissä pelkoa, vihaa ja surua.

Ahead of the exercise, the U.S. military withdrew ​one squadron of F-35 fighter jets from the exercise. It declined to say whether the war in the Middle East ‌played a ⁠role in the decision.

Tasa-arvo | Orpon puhe naisten oikeuksista keskeytyi huutomyrskyyn Pääministerin mukaan hallitus ei ole vetämässä pois määräaikaisuuksia koskevaa lakiesitystä.

Pääministeri päätti sitten naistenpäivän kunniaksi kävella kaikkien eduskuntapuolueiden naisjärjestöjen yli ja jääräpäisesti pitää kiinni naisten syrjintää lisäävästä esityksestä määräaikaisten työsuhteiden helpottamisesta. Hyvää naistenpäivää vaan.

Aloitin jo uudelleenmiettimisen: VM lakkautetaan ja valtion talousarvion valmistelee eduskunnalle valtiovarainministeri poliittisine esikuntineen tekoälyn avustamana.

Trump multiple times just today has said the country is at war. War can only be declared by Congress, and Iran posed no imminent threat. What Trump is doing there is a textbook illegal war and impeachable offense — if we still had a Congress.

Nainen osoittaa raivokkaasti kohti mellakkapoliisien rivistöä. Päällä teksti "Riemuisaa ja raivokasta naistenpäivää jokaiselle naisten oikeuksia puolustavalle!" ja Amnestyn logo.

Tänään naistenpäivänä kiitämme jokaista, joka on rohkeasti ja sinnikkäästi puolustanut naisten ja tyttöjen ihmisoikeuksia ympäri maailmaa.

Kiitos jokaiselle, joka on vastustanut tasa-arvon takapakkia ja vaatinut tekoja juhlapuheiden sijaan.

Kiitos juuri sinulle, yhdessä olemme vahvoja!

Analyysi: Hallitus halusi välttää repivää keskustelua ydinaseista, mutta tilasi juuri sitä Kun ydinasepolitiikan uudistuksesta tulee arvovaltariita, se muuttuu myös vaikeammin ymmärrettäväksi, kirjoittaa politiikan toimittaja Jyrki Hara.

Perjantaina tuntui tosiaan siltä, että eduskunnassa vanha, arvokas perinne oli katkennut.

Ydinasekiellon purku valmisteltiin puolustusministeri Antti Häkkäsen (kok.) johtaman virkakunnan voimin ja asia tuotiin eduskunnalle tiedoksi valmiina. Ei ihme, että oppositio suuttui.

Iran's FM condemns US attack on Qeshm's freshwater desalination plant, warns of grave consequences US President Donald Trump announced that Iran promised not to attack its neighbours anymore

Multiple news outlets are reporting a US attack on an Iranian #desalination plant.
If verified, this violates international law protecting #water systems during wars, and it sets a dangerous precedent, given intense dependence of Gulf countries on desalination.

Now this is interesting.
Will the US now keep supporting Russia against Ukraine?

Crude oil prices dollars per barrel over the last month. Rising from around $65 to over $90 because of the Iran War.

Oil going thru the roof.

The higher the price of oil, the higher the cost to the average American. But the higher the price of oil, the more renewable energy looks both attractive and necessary. To bad Donald Trump is trying to kill the US electric-vehicle and renewable energy markets.

Let this sink in.
Four years ago, the US expected Ukraine to fall within days and even withheld military aid because they thought it’d be wasted. Today, the US — the most powerful nation on earth — is asking Ukraine for military aid.

Never underestimate Ukraine. Arm them to win.
