Arctic power plays: the EU searches for a new strategy.

Russia’s aggression, Trump’s threats against Greenland and the race for critical raw materials are pushing the Arctic to the top of Europe’s agenda.

I will be on parental leave until January to take care of my little daughter full time. I realize that 4 months of parental leave, especially for a dad, is quite high in many countries apart from the Nordics.

These are actually not my only 4 months of parental leave - I have already been taking care of her since last November, for a total of 14 months.

I'm incredibly grateful for Swedish society to operate that way. As a parent, I am not expected to drop my 5 months old infant to a daycare, I am expected to take care of her until at least a year old and the large majority of parents go way beyond that (most parents mention "toddler can walk" as a target age for daycare).

When the whole society functions with this mindset, it spreads to employers too who don't see long parental leaves like mine as a sign of poor performance, but as a regular leave that needs to be worked with.

High-fiving 11-years-younger-me who thought it'd be cool to move to Sweden for that reason. He was damn right

Sweden’s far right is down, but not yet out. Left and centre leaders must seize this opportunity | Cas Mudde
By Cas Mudde

The danger is that other parties just channel the far right – and that will make them vulnerable. Better to fully commit to a progressive agenda

Well, #Sweden, you are turning election results into a US style drama. Still waiting for 314 districts to finish the count. But it seems that the far-right didn't grow and a center/left coalition is more likely, even if it only has a 2 vote majority. I count that as a win for democracy and a way to wipe that grin of Putin's face. So thanks!

@rajendrap @richlv Russia's invasion of Ukraine, allegedly to stop NATO expansion has made two previously neutral countries, Sweden and Finland join NATO for the first time.

Thus increasing the length NATOs contact border with Russia by over 1300 km and further strengthening defence co-operation between the Nordic nations.

#Sweden and #Finland realising the threat of an aggressive militarist #Russia have addressed their legitimate security concerns by joining NATO.

Just as #Ukraine wishes to.

@neil Here in #Sweden, end of November this year for last POTS lines, and end of 2027 for the last GSM network to be shut down. Both of these things have been there all my life, and now they're on their way out.

correction: GSM seems to have picked up after I hatched, but still, pretty close

RE: https://journa.host/@NatalieDavis/117270091094664964

so #Sweden voted out the fascists and the only media that seems to be excited about it seems to be from #Spain. have barely seen anything in the anglo or francophonic media singing the paeans of the new socialist democratic majority in Ikealand.

The far right’s march to power in Sweden has been halted, but its influence remains

The Sweden Democrats slipped to third after decades of growth, but their hardline positions have already reshaped the political mainstream

So #Sweden, in our #swedenelection, shifted votes from one side of the antidemocratic spectrum to the other side; right to left.

I know the #fediverse politicos hate #centrists, but could we aim for "lagom"?

Makes me think of the old Echo and the Bunnymen song, 2:04 in.
