Valet är över, statsministern har avgått och Sverige har en övergångsregering.

Då försöker utrikes-, justitie- och försvarsministern sprida osäkerhet om Sveriges framtida säkerhetspolitik genom osakliga påhopp på Socialdemokraterna.

Det är ovärdigt.

This Government will reopen the UK Resettlement Route in partnership with the United Nations.

We will take vulnerable refugees from camps across the world and give them the chance of a new and better life here in Britain.

With the first arrivals beginning this year.

“We hear you.” UK Foreign Secretary @Ed_Miliband, speaking at UK Labour party conference this morning.

Thank you to the millions of people in Britain and around the world who stood firmly on the side of justice, on the side of Palestine 🇵🇸✊🏽

[Mats Engström @MatsEngstrom]

Här har @johanssonmorgan rätt. Dessutom förvånande att de moderata statsråden inte ser betydelsen av stärkt samarbete med "globala syd" för vår säkerhet, när många EU-regeringar och experter insett det.

Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband: 'I want to say to the millions of people in this country and indeed elsewhere, who have been moved and outraged by the plight of the Palestinian people. We hear you. You were right'

Finns det misstankar om valfusk måste det utredas. Men man får inte ta valresultatet som intäkt för att anklaga utsatta områden för valfusk. I och med att vårt samhälle är så segregerat kan vem som helst påstå vad som helst. De flesta saknar egna referenspunkter.

Jag kan inte uttala mig om Rinkeby för jag var inte där. Men jag såg förtidsröstningen på Tensta bibliotek och på valdagen var jag utanför båda vallokalerna och det som står i denna artikel stämmer inte med min bild av hur det var i Tensta.

@leastw @SmartN3rd @Ygeman Om du är intresserad, så läste jag och tentade av magisterkurserna i statsvetenskap, och hade börjat på min uppsats under våren 1994. Men sedan började jag jobba heltid med valet, och därefter rekryterades jag till Arbetet i Malmö.

In the black community, New Year’s Day used to be widely known as 'Hiring Day' or 'Heartbreak Day', because enslaved people spent New Year’s Eve waiting, wondering if their owners were going to rent them out to someone else, thus potentially splitting up their families.

The renting out of slave labor was a relatively common practice in the antebellum South, and a profitable practice for white slave owners and hirers.

Wow!

Norwegian FM Espen Barth Eide is on🔥 🔥 🔥!

Speaking at the Hague Group, he recounts his work against apartheid, saying we were not 50% against it. You're either against it or you are for it.

In the case of Gaza, there are no two sides to the story. One side is right, and one side is wrong, he declares!

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

Most people have heard “Uncle Tom” used as an insult for a Black person seen as betraying their own community to gain the approval of white people. But the history behind that name is far more complicated. Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom was a fictional character in her 1852 antislavery novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin, and one of the real people who influenced her portrayal was Josiah Henson, a formerly enslaved man whose life looked very different from what the insult eventually came to represent.

Henson was born enslaved in Maryland in 1789 and experienced the brutality of slavery from childhood. In his autobiography, he recalled his father being violently punished and later sold away from the family. Henson himself was separated from members of his family through the slave trade and eventually became a trusted supervisor on the plantation where he was enslaved. In 1830, after years of trying to secure freedom, he escaped with his wife and children to Upper Canada, now Ontario, where slavery had been restricted and where thousands of Black Americans would eventually seek refuge.

Freedom did not end Henson’s work. He became a Methodist preacher and helped other people escaping slavery reach Canada. In the 1840s, he helped establish the Dawn Settlement in Ontario and the British-American Institute, a school intended to provide education and practical training to formerly enslaved Black people. He traveled internationally, wrote about his experiences and became a prominent abolitionist. His 1849 autobiography was one of the slave narratives Stowe later cited as evidence for Uncle Tom’s Cabin, although Henson was not the single person on whom Uncle Tom was based.

The meaning of “Uncle Tom” changed dramatically after Stowe’s novel became famous. In the original book, Tom refuses to betray enslaved people even when threatened and ultimately dies after refusing to reveal where two women have escaped. Later stage adaptations, caricatures and racist entertainment stripped away much of that resistance and transformed the character into a submissive stereotype. Over time, “Uncle Tom” became an insult for someone perceived as excessively obedient to white authority, a meaning very different from both Henson’s life and important aspects of Stowe’s original character.

There is another correction worth making to the popular version of this story. “Sambo” should not simply be substituted for “Uncle Tom” as the supposedly correct name for a sellout. The word has a complicated history and eventually became a deeply racist caricature and slur used against Black people. Josiah Henson’s real story is powerful enough without replacing one stereotype with another. He survived slavery, escaped with his family, helped others pursue freedom and spent decades working for abolition and Black education. That is the history worth remembering.
