Tydligen inte endast Sverige som tappar i Pisa-mätningar. Är en genomgående trend för i stort sett samtliga OECD-länder.

Joe Noonan@joenoonan.se

One of my pet peeves is looking for country level explanations for global trends. I am no expert but I don't think Norway doing X in 2022 or France changing policy Y in 2019 can explain these global declines across a diverse set of countries.

Hur många självmål ska Trump tillåtas göra ”to make America great again”… De blir ju bara än mer akterseglade av Kina ju längre han får hållas.

Wow, this is frightening: 95,000 scientists and researchers, gone. Brilliant minds no longer working to protect, help, and save people and the planet. Don't take this sitting down.

Intressant och ögonöppnande artikel av Joel Halldorf.

Den kristna sionismen bygger på en eskatologi som saknar stöd i Bibeln och den kristna traditionen. Det är dags att göra upp med den. Föreställningen om att grundandet av staten Israel är ett "tidstecken" skymmer sikten för vad som sker i Gaza. www.flamman.se/efter-gaza-m...

Reading Obama’s tribute to Pope Francis is a stark reminder of how far presidential dignity has fallen. Where there was once eloquence, compassion, and moral clarity, we now endure a swaggering caricature—petty, reckless, and painfully unworthy of the office.

Zelensky: "I don't see [Mr Witkoff] as having a mandate to discuss Ukrainian territories, because our territories belong to our people, not only to us, but to future Ukrainians. So I don't understand what he is talking about at all".

Zelensky: "I believe that Mr Witkoff has taken on the strategy of the Russian side. I think it is very dangerous, because he is consciously or unconsciously, I don't know, spreading Russian narratives". (AFP) Well done, Mr. President!

L - The official photo from the Kremlin of US Special Envoy @SteveWitkoff putting his hand over his heart as he greets his friend Vladimir Putin again this week. R - Putin’s latest missile attack killing at least 21 people, including 7 children, on Palm Sunday. Putin’s stooge.

China, Japan and South Korea in new trade deal. EU will soon follow, together with Australia and Canada. Thanks to Trump, US influence in the world is going down, together with the US dollar.

In economics, as in geopolitics, Trump fundamentally misunderstands the limits of American power. It is at the centre of everything he does. The markets, the only real impediment to him now, may be about to teach him how wrong he is. New writing from me. open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...

While Trump mocks and humiliates the allies of the United States, all of Lithuania spent 5 days consumed by the disappearance of 4 American soldiers. From the elderly to the young, it was the top news everywhere. The church held masses and directed prayers for the missing U.S. troops.

Together with our allies, we defeated the Soviet Union - an empire so evil it had to build gulags and walls to keep its own people in. Destroying America’s alliances and abandoning the cause of freedom is morally and strategically indefensible.

So much winning. And X is out. Hava nice monday.

⚡️ Zelensky's approval rating jumps to 68% after Trump clash, poll shows. The most significant jump came after the Feb. 28 Oval Office meeting, which ended in a public dispute with U.S. President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance.

Trump wants to annex Canada like Russia wants to annex Ukraine, and China Taiwan. Are these the kind of ”deals” Trump is looking for? God help us from this tyrant.

This is effect of Trump policy. Hope that GOP at least can acknowledge the fact that Russia is the agressor in this war, and that Ukraine has the right to defend themselves. If Putin says that he wants peace, this is not what peace looks like. Wake up you GOP sleepwalkers!

Last night, Russia launched yet another massive attack on Ukraine, targeting residential buildings, civilian, energy and gas infrastructure of #Ukraine. Explosions were heard in Kharkiv, Ternopil, Odesa, Ivano-Frankivsk, Sumy, Poltava, Vinnytsia, Dnipropetrovsk, Chernihiv and Khmelnytskyi regions.

Likely Canada will tax energy exports to US as well on top of tariffs on US imports.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Freeland: "If these tariffs are put in place, it is going to hurt Americans ... your grocery prices are gonna go up, bc you know what you need to grow food in the US? You need fertilizer. 80% of it comes from Canada and you're gonna be a 25% tax on it? ... the WSJ is right. This is dumb."

Everyone in the US needs to listen to Anne Applebaums crystal clear analysis of the situation in Europe, Ukraine and the dangerous direction US is now taking with Trump. It will affect all of us not only us in Europe. It will also be terrible backlash for the US.

20,000 Ukrainian children have been kidnapped by Russia, and these are just the registered cases. The real number could be much higher. To date, only approximately 400 children have been returned. This means that thousands of children are still missing. #opdeatheaters #anonymous #ukraine

While Elon mocks Ukraine, Russia is carrying out one of the biggest missile barrages on Ukrainian cities in recent months. Millions of civilians in shelters, explosions in Kyiv, Dnipro, Rivne, Lviv and Mykolaiv, as critical infrastructure and power stations targeted ahead of the winter.
