Our partners at @og_tal
are doing excellent work mapping how we use Facebook groups to help each other.
How well these groups function depends a lot on the administers and how they manage the groups. Maybe they could use some more help and guidelines?!

Many youth don’t know how and where to Express their opinion and participate In democracy.

It has indeed been a truly tragic week here in the Nordics💔, and we couldn’t agree more with @bjornih!
This is why bringing global work against extremism and fascism back home - to a region that on paper looks to be relatively tranquil - has always been key for me and @KhalifaIhler, and why initiatives like @NordicSafeCity are so important.
"The use of #disinformation by foreign actors should be viewed as a revolutionary tool of warfare," says @ColinPClarke with @NordicSafeCity. "It has significant potential to disrupt society, business, and other aspects of everyday life."

Sverige & Turkiet överens i Nato-frågan. Enligt Turkiet innehåller avtalet bland annat löften om att Sverige inte ska stödja kurdiska organisationer samt löften att vidta konkreta åtgärder för utlämning av terroristbrottslingar.
Enligt @aftonbladet är avsiktsförklaring följande
Still a lot of unknowns concerning the attack in #Oslo but a lot point to an attack based on clearcut homofobia, and/or some sort of antiwokeness. No matter what, it’s just completely horrifying!
