Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

This is an INSANE decision by the E.U.

“By signing up to mutual recognition of vehicle standards with the U.S., the E.U. has waved the white flag on road safety. This is not a technical detail – it is a political choice that puts trade convenience ahead of saving lives.”

This will kill people.

They legitimately replaced it with this
Democracy is backsliding (Hungary, India, Turkey, US), erodes slowly, via gradual surrender of those entrusted to defend it. With each concession, defenses grow weaker, reversal gets harder. "Waiting it out/ silence/ deals": this only emboldens autocrats.

BREAKING: Der Vorgänger Jens Spahns, der langjährige Fraktionsvorsitzende der CDU, hat ein atemberaubendes Interview gegeben! Darin spricht sich Volker Kauder nicht nur für eine klare Abgrenzung gegen die AfD aus, sondern er attackiert die aktuelle Führung! Das ganze Interview: just WOW!

Durch einen Austritt könnte er seinen Worten Nachdruck verleihen.
Pandemie ist (zu) schnell u. wuchtig über Menschheit hereingebrochen. Neue Erkenntnisse, auch differentialdiagnost., gehen (zu) langsam in die Lehre etc. ein (Medizinstudium, Fortbildungen). Diskrepanz. – Derweil Patient:innen leiden. – Ich bewundere Fr. Dr. Strasser für ihren unermüdlichen Einsatz.
Gute Differentialdiagnostik erfordert v.a. von Allgemeinmediziner:innen (Hausärzt:innen) meist zusätzl. Fachkenntnisse. Müssen rasch Symptome zuordnen können, weiterverweisen. Plus Motivation: Wille zu Fortbildung. (Und die meisten Fachärzt:innen brauchen auch fachübergreif., allgemeinmed. Wissen).

Kellogg was sidelined specifically because he’s a better negotiator.

They aren’t actually trying to end this war.

Do you ever think about how the fine for peeing in public is substantially more than the fine for dumping tonnes of CO₂ in public?

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

Masking should be mandatory in all healthcare settings. Hospitals and doctor’s offices are where most sick people congregate. It’s also the most likely place for more high risk people to be. You shouldn’t have to risk getting sicker or more disabled while trying to get treatment.

Remember when the pandemic first hit and everything was remote? Work, education, healthcare. Disabled people had been begging for those things to be remote for over a decade until non-disabled people needed them. Two years after, they got rid of it. They can accommodate, they just don’t want to.

If you’re a leftist, you need to be discussing disability rights because it’s one of the most pressing issues of our time. People are becoming more and more disabled in a society that has been allowing high risk people to die. Eugenics is happening RIGHT NOW!!

You can’t fight fascism without disability justice. Fascism creates more disability, which then sees us as replaceable and our deaths as excusable. You can’t fight for humanity without fighting for disabled people.

Not abortions!

When many people state that the lockdowns caused the deepest depression they’ve ever experienced, just a reminder that many disabled people are still in lockdown, five years later. Isolation is a form of torture. I want to live in a world where disabled people are wanted in society.
