'you love hatred and want to measure the world against it. You throw food to the beast in man, That it may grow, the beast deep within you! Let the beast in man devour man' Kastner

Now there's a memorable stat! "Colleges and universities are among America’s most competitive international exporters. In dollar terms, last year, the United States sold more educational services to the rest of the world than it sold in natural gas and coal combined." wapo.st/3EvzMCI

"At least five children and three adults with cholera died as they went in search of treatment in South Sudan after aid cuts by the Trump administration shuttered local health clinics" www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/w...

Sudan in ‘world’s largest humanitarian crisis’ after two years of civil war

Sen. Bernie Sanders turned to the audience during CNN's town hall with Anderson Cooper to ask if the American health care system is working. The audience included a mix of Democrats, Republicans and Independents.

There are likely effective vaccines for major health concerns like Bird Flu, Lyme Disease, and even multiple forms of cancer - just to name a few - but we just lost funding for further study, our entire vaccine advisory group, most drug approval personnel at FDA, and HHS is overseen by antivaxxers…

In 2024, four women held four-star ranks in the military — the highest levels of the armed forces. Only 10 women have held the highest rank in their military branches in history. Now, there are none. Of the four women, two of them retired and two were ousted. bit.ly/4i1EWUO

Tory leader Kemi Badenoch claims the UK goal of net zero emissions by 2050 is impossible. • No alternative date offered • No report/analysis showing impossible • No detail on how/why impossible • No figure on £ impact of net zero despite claiming will "bankrupt us" • No new plan to cut energy bills

Here's what's really happening with that 'special relationship' Blackrock just bought 3 UK Freeports sold by Hong Kong in a $22,8 billion global deal pushed by Donald Trump. This is significant because Blackrock (and Blackstone) are now in an official partnership with Starmer's Govt. Thread

Peak rail fares are unfair and put people off using public transport. In 2023 the Scottish Greens removed them, only for the SNP to restore them as soon as we were out of the room. Join me in telling the SNP that it's time to scrap peak rail fares for good. 👇 greens.scot/endpeakfares

On Saturday Trump abducted a legal US resident w/o a warrant because he peacefully protested. His wife is a US citizen, is 8 mo pregnant, & neither she, nor his lawyer know where he is. This Is Fascism. Sign the petition, call your Rep to demand Khalil's release www.qasimrashid.com/p/ice-abduct...

The regime has already announced “reforms” in universities that will purge everyone, erase entire faculties, and merge others into obedience. #terrorinGeorgia

Since the start of COVID, the number of people reporting a disability soared. Yet the majority of the world acts like COVID is over, and Long COVID doesn't exist.

Look, folks, this is it. The entire ballgame. Either we're a Republic of laws & the Constitution, or we have a dictator. This is fascism, & the impeachment vote should be happening today. Every single university president in the country should be out, in front of microphones, condemning this.

Calin Georgescu was raided. They found $10m in cash, tickets to Moscow and links to Wagner. Trump pressured Romanian officials to let him stand, they even sent Vance over to seal the deal. Why did the US want a Putin puppet running Romania? This was Musks tweet AFTER the arrest.

"The ARC conference once again reveals “the close links between fossil fuel companies, the far-right, and climate disinformation,” said @jolyonmaugham.bsky.social, executive director of the UK-based Good Law Project." www.desmog.com/2025/02/16/l...
