Spent the last week on the Conference of Presidents mission. Multiple Israeli ministers cited far-right European parties as models. It’s happening alongside Trump admin’s embrace of these fascist groups (jewishpublicaffairs.org/press-releas...). It all threatens Jews. via @barakravid.bsky.social

🚫🗣️ Freedom of speech in Viktor Orbán’s Hungary: The state-controlled National University of Public Service fired the former Hungarian chief of staff as a professor for speaking at an opposition event and becoming an advisor to Orbán’s rival, Péter Magyar.

💥Scoop: 🇺🇸 The Heritage Foundation is consulting 🇵🇱 Polish & 🇭🇺 Hungarian illiberal think tanks Ordo Iuris and MCC for EU policy plans—groups that are not just anti-EU but also push Kremlin narratives or have suspicious Russia ties. 📨 From @vsquare.bsky.social's newsletter: vsquare.org/goulash-ukra...

Here's the latest variant picture for Europe (excluding the UK). The XEC.* variant is dominant, but appears to be declining after peaking at around 55%. The recent resistance from the JN.1.* + FLiRT variants appears to have faded of late. #COVID19 #EUR #XEC #LF_7_1 🧵

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

🧵Trump dissout le Comité consultatif sur le #CovidLong ⚠️ Trump a ordonné au HHS de dissoudre le Comité consultatif sur le #CovidLong via un décret visant à "réduire la bureaucratie". Un coup dur pour les millions d’Américains concernés. #ApresJ20

Des décennies de sévices, de silence et de déni sur Bétharram, et le problème pour la ministre de l’Éducation nationale, c’est… Mediapart. Réalise-t-elle qu’elle ne fait que prolonger le problème en réagissant de la sorte ?

Tell me again how Covid is not a problem for kids.... I'm waiting..... @harryspoelstra.bsky.social 😔 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

L'immense gaspillage d'argent public dans le supérieur privé (via l'apprentissage), sans aucune contrepartie, est à l'image de l'immense gaspillage d'argent public dans les crédits d'impôts aux entreprises (sans aucune contrepartie). Nous sommes gouvernés par des idéologues incapables.

Here's the latest variant picture with a global scope. XEC.* variants have been declining slightly, while LP.8.1.* variants grew steadily to around 18%. #COVID19 #Global #XEC #LP_8_1 🧵

For measles virus and the vaccine, it's a no-brainer. It's ridiculously infectious, R0~12-18. It's s a killer. >107K in 2023, mainly unvaxed kids in LMIC. Vax prevented ~60M from 2020-23. It also kills memory B cells, so no "natural immunity" for "healthy" immune systems🤦‍♂️

"The university is a ticking time bomb. But the mental health impact assessment of these cuts (another Friday PDF) says we can lean on our line managers. My line manager, a quiet mid-career academic with an international research reputation, is also devastated."

Guess the anti-mRNA vaxx mob will also be against curing cancer. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The Trump-Vance-Musk regime is not only undermining democracy in the US. It is laying the foundation for undermining democracies around the world. The emerging battle will be global democracy vs. a global oligarchy. The US is emerging on the side of global oligarchy.

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

Révélations de l’ONG Global Witness: en amont des élections allemandes dimanche, 64% du contenu politique recommandé par l'algorithme sur X est lié à l'AFD. Sur TikTok, c'est 78%. Telle une somnambule, @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu n’a toujours pas bouclé son enquête contre X, en vertu du DSA.

Some of DOGE is retribution, some is corruption, some is incompetence, some is a mix of those, but this is destruction for destruction's sake. It's undermining American science, industry, and commerce just because they can.

In 2024, the NLRB filed a complaint against Tesla for interfering in a union drive at their Buffalo, NY assembly plant. Today:

Check out this brilliant video explainer from Bristol University which illustrates how (as well as high CO2 levels often indicating poor ventilation and higher COVID risk environment) high CO2 levels also increase the lifetime of the virus in the air. airspothealth.myshopify.com/a/blog/how-c...

If you buy a Tesla, you are supporting a guy who thinks treating darker-skinned humans like zoo animals is ok.

Canada to start vaccinating vulnerable people for #BirdFlu. Just remember: This vaccine, Arepanrix H5N1, contains an inactivated #H5N1 grown in fertilized chicken eggs. Right now, we don't have enough eggs to produce this vaccine in large scale in case of a pandemic.

Je crois que peu de choses me font aussi rager que de voir ces minables fascistes qui transforment les USA en dictature oser calomnier un État et un président pleinement démocratiques qui luttent pour leur survie.

I continue to be surprised that more of the learned societies are not coming out with statements like this (And well done to @planetarysociety.bsky.social for being clear and simple, and bold, in this statement) 🧪 - if the cuts haven't hit an agency near you - it seems to be a "yet" issue 😭

Trump via Musk has fired more than a few federal librarians over the last week. Not for cause, but for politics. This includes librarians at the National Library of Medicine.

Face à la vague d'autoritarisme qui enfle un peu partout dans le monde, on se demande souvent comment il se peut que l'ethos démocratique soit si fragile et résiste aussi peu. S'il est fragile, c'est qu'il gouverne en vérité assez peu de sphères sociales.

Comment les Allemands font-ils pour émettre autant de CO2 pour leur électricité après avoir dépensé des centaines de milliards dans l'éolien et le solaire. Voici la réponse pour les 15 premiers jours de février : la courbe de la consommation, et la partie couverte par les renouvelables.
