Måste säga det att jag är väldigt förvånad över hur vissa journalister agerar angående det misstänkta valfusket. Nu börjar det handla om att tona ned, att köra andra historier om hur någon i området "mår", hur någon "känner sig utpekad", och man börjar anmärka på olika ordval. Men kära kollegor: Gräv i grundorsaken till denna historia istället och dra fram missförhållanden i ljuset. Allt annat är dimridåer.

Vid varje val sedan 20 år har jag själv sett och hört berättelser om hur valarbetare i Järva på olika sätt har betett sig olämpligt. Det skriver L-politikern Åsa Nilsson Söderström. svd.se/a/zOqOyv/valfusk-i-ja…

Aftonbladet verifierar nu uppgifterna i Peter Wennblads ledarartikel i SvD igår: Valarbetsledaren i Järva säger att man borde ha stängt vallokalen när 100 till 150 eritreanska kvinnor kom med två präster i släptåg. aftonbladet.se/a/y5qlex

Helt bisarrt att höra @aliesbati bemöta @peterwennblad uppgifter om misstänkt valfusk i Järva – tumult, oordning och förkryssade valsedlar – med rasistkortet. Det är en throwback till 2010-talets medielogik, när obekväma frågor alltför ofta möttes med misstänkliggöranden i stället för granskning. @svtnyheter Aktuellt borde ha borrat i sakuppgifterna – inte gjort rasism till kvällens konfliktlinje. Att göra konkreta frågor om misstänkt valfusk till en debatt om rasism är redaktionellt ovärdigt och journalistiskt destruktivt.

Naturligtvis oacceptabelt att hon påminner om vad partiet sagt i fyra år. Stör både de icke-existerande förhandlingarna och en massa journalistiska narrativ. dn.se/sverige/kallor-ilskan-…

Precis så där.
Eftervalsperioden har visat att när vårt demokratiska system har blivit missbrukat på allvar, så ställer inte public service upp på demokratins sida. SVT:s märkliga reaktion på denna skandal utgör i sig en skandal, som borde leda till åtgärder.

Klopp's Liverpool lost out to Man City in both the 18/19 & 21/22 title races by a solitary point. When asked after his departure in 2024 about the possibility of City being stripped of titles, Klopp said: “If you organise a bus parade, I am in! How long it takes I don’t care!"

Ser att det här och var riktas kritik och ifrågasättanden mot att de röstmottagare vars berättelser ligger till grund för min artikel. Till exempel hur de kunnat se vilket parti väljare har röstat på, och vilken kandidat de har kryssat. Så här kommer ett litet förtydligande.

En dimension av detta är att Ilyas Hassan har varit i Borlänge och kampanjat för Mohamed Ali. Dvs det misstänkta fusk som han nu ska hantera som ledamot i partiets VU. Och nu, ovanpå det, vittnesmålen från hans egen valkrets.

Jag har ägnat veckan åt att prata med röstmottagare i Järva. Det här är deras berättelse. Om kaos, klanröstning och fusk i en skala de aldrig tidigare varit med om. Och det handlar återigen om Vänsterpartiet. svd.se/a/43a0Qq/skandalen-i-…

Om (v) hamnar i regeringen kommer det brinna till ordentligt numer.
"Situationen är oförändrad. Partiet har kollektivt beslutat att vi ska sitta i regering, säger en V-källa." Då blir det nyval. Att C skulle acceptera V i regeringen eller att S skulle acceptera V i regeringen – oddsen var höga redan innan Borlänge. Nu har de skjutit genom taket.

Magdalena Andersson levererar en intervju full med luftpastejer. Men även detta: ”She criticized Kristersson for, in her view, focusing too much on the Baltic region and ignoring “the global south,” where Europe needs allies.” Man häpnar. politico.eu/article/magdalen…

🫡 Gene Simmons mamma.
She survived Auschwitz, raised a son alone in Queens, and never remarried. Her son would go on to become a rock star, but to him, she remained the strongest person he had ever known. Flora Klein was born in Hungary in 1925. She was a Jewish girl growing up in a country that would eventually try to destroy her people. In 1944, when the Nazis finally invaded Hungary after years of an uneasy alliance, Flora was 19 years old. For a time, Hungarian Jews had been spared the fate that had already overtaken Jewish communities elsewhere in Europe. Then that protection disappeared almost overnight. Flora and her family were rounded up, forced into cattle cars, and deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau, the extermination camp where more than 400,000 Hungarian Jews were murdered within a matter of months. Flora survived. One of her brothers, Larry, survived as well. Everyone else in her family, including her parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, and cousins, was killed in the gas chambers. Flora was only 19 when the world she knew was destroyed. She would live another 74 years carrying the weight of what had happened. After liberation in 1945, Flora spent years in displaced persons camps, places that became a kind of limbo for survivors who had nowhere to return to. Eventually, she married and became pregnant. In 1949, in Haifa, Israel, she gave birth to a son named Chaim Witz. The marriage did not last. By 1958, Flora made the decision to leave for America. She went alone with her eight-year-old son. She spoke no English and had no money. All she had was her child and the same instinct to survive that had carried her through Auschwitz. They first settled in Washington Heights and later moved to Queens. Flora found work in New York's garment factories, working long hours for little money and stitching clothes by the piece. She never remarried. Her son later explained that she had been deeply affected by the losses she had endured and had become fiercely protective of the small family she had left. Flora rarely spoke about the camps. She didn't explain the nightmares, the silences, or why she saved every scrap of food and could never bring herself to throw things away. But she didn't have to explain everything. Her actions said enough. From his mother, her son learned two lessons that would stay with him for the rest of his life: nothing is impossible, and survival means working harder than everyone else. Those lessons helped build a rock star. Chaim Witz would eventually become Gene Simmons, the bass player, co-founder, and fire-breathing face of KISS. The makeup, the outrageous performances, and eventually the global empire all grew alongside the work ethic Flora had instilled in him. “Everything I am is because of my mother,” Gene has said. “She survived hell and still had the strength to raise me. Nothing I’ve done compares to what she survived.” Flora lived long enough to see her son become famous and wealthy, but she never wanted the spotlight for herself. She had survived Auschwitz by learning how to remain unseen, and even after finding safety, she stayed private, quiet, and humble. For decades, she refused to speak publicly about her past. But when she reached her 80s, she slowly began sharing her story. She gave testimony to Holocaust museums and allowed her experiences to be recorded for future generations. Gene said she did it because the survivors were growing older and dying, while Holocaust denial was becoming more common. She also wanted her grandchildren to understand where they came from. After remaining silent for nearly sixty years, Flora Klein finally spoke because she didn't want the memory of her generation to disappear with it. She died in December 2018 at the age of 93 in Los Angeles, surrounded by her family. Her obituary identified her as Gene Simmons's mother. But that was only one part of her story. Flora Klein was 19 when she entered Auschwitz. She should have died there. Instead, she survived.

Police chief constables are sleep-walking into one of the gravest threats to the impartiality of British policing we have ever seen. To act ‘without fear or favour’ has been the bedrock of this country's policing since Sir Robert Peel established the Metropolitan police almost 200 years ago. Yet, as the report published by Policy Exchange today shows, a cadre of naïve or political police chiefs have allowed an untenable position on so-called ‘staff networks’ to arise. In February 2024, the National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) recognised twelve national staff networks through their ‘national staff network definition’ policy document. These groups are divided based on ‘protected characteristics’ – although it would be almost as accurate to say that they are divided on sectarian grounds. ✍️ David Spencer Article | spectator.com/article/police…
