“Experts say current US outbreak is unlikely to end without intervention with further mutation of virus likely” What chance of effective intervention under this new anti-science regime? www.theguardian.com/...

Elon would hate it if you reposted this.

Matt Schlapp. "Con Meloni d'accordo su tutto. Il prossimo Cpac in Italia" Un endorsement in piena regola da parte dell'organizzatore del Cpac, il raduno mondiale dei trumpiani. Così l'Italia succederebbe all'Ungheria di Orbán nell'ospitare l'evento in Europa #etuttizitti #ezittitutti

Secondo Reuters, per fare pressione sull'Ucraina gli Usa starebbero minacciando anche lo stop all'accesso a internet fornito dai satelliti Starlink della SpaceX di Elon Musk www.reuters.com/business/us-...

DRC is being smart in targeting the sports organisations and clubs that help Rwanda whitewash its image abroad. This time, Formula 1, which has been discussing staging the Grand Prix in Kigali. www.the-race.com/formula-1/de...

I'm told by my Belgian colleagues that this vote is a first in the EU Parliament's history, the most critical position taken on the Rwanda regime for 30 years. But now we need to see it given some teeth by the European Council and Commission. The M23 is advancing: www.reuters.com/world/africa...

The European Union's support for Rwanda means member states are actively complicit in what is happening in Congo right now. Baffling that they can grasp what Putin is doing in Ukraine yet somehow fail to spot that Paul Kagame is playing the same game in DRC. www.hrw.org/news/2025/02...

Finally, some substantive action from the US on Rwanda. James Kaberebe, Rwandan minister for regional integration (but so much more) and the spokesman for the rebel coalition Congo River Alliance Lawrence Kanyuka are sanctioned. Deserved and overdue. www.state.gov/sanctioning-...

Just spent 1 hour blocking 40 Rwandan "sock puppet" accounts on my "X" feed. Tweeting the fact that a minister organising the M23 campaign has been sanctioned by the US triggered an tsunami of abuse. I opened a Blue Sky account precisely because it's not used as a propaganda tool by dictators. 1/2

The European Parliament’s center-right bloc has turned on the EU’s Green Deal, representing an existential threat to the 2019 landmark policy.

Il Manifesto come sempre vince tutto.

Just deleted the #AirBnB app. Happy to use alternatives when needed. Anyone else doing the same? #USAID #OpentoWork

Pro-Russian hackers target Italy for the third consecutive day in retaliation for Mattarella’s remarks

Spain’s Sánchez slams Trump’s Gaza expulsion plan as ‘immoral’

NEW from @dropsitenews.com: How a Well-Connected Israeli Legal Expert Influenced the UN Investigation Into Sexual Violence on October 7 @ryangrim.bsky.social reports Ruth Halperin-Kaddari leveraged her friendship with UN’s Patten to produce a report in Israel's interests.

Jocelynn Rojo Carranza, just 11 years old, “took her own life in Texas after she was tormented by classmates who threatened to call Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) authorities and have her family deported from the US, her grieving parents have said.” www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Dr. Abu Safiyah is being released. Should never have been arrested.

Devo essermi persa le dichiarazioni di Meloni a difesa di Zelensky e contro Trump. Prima che arrivasse Trump, Meloni non perdeva occasione per sostenere il leader ucraino. Ora tra i due sceglie il più forte?

"Italy’s national union for journalists has submitted a criminal complaint to prosecutors in Rome after Giorgia Meloni’s government shut down questions in parliament over suspicions it had illegally used spyware technology to hack the phones of critics" www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

Hamas offers to free ALL remaining hostages for a full #Israeli withdrawal. They've made this offer before, it's been on the table for 15 months. US media isn't even mentioning it. But sure, keep telling me how it's we opponents of genocide who don't care about Israeli hostages go.france24.com/CNz

After jeopardising airline safety, food safety, disease protection, foreign aid & nuclear safety, today Elon Musk starts on his new target: Removing the people who warn communities of incoming hurricanes. If Russia wanted to kill Americans, it would invent DOGE. Or maybe it did.

When looking at Europe today : The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear. Antonio Gramsci, Prison Notebooks

DC turnout OMG 👇🏼👇🏼 #50501 #NoKingsDay

Realising Belgium was about to suspend aid over its support for M23, Rwanda rushed to cut off its own nose by suspending its aid programme. A nice attempt at seizing the initiative, but Rwanda is the country out of pocket as a result, not Belgium. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

20 years ago, RFK Jr. had harsh words for Republicans who allowed corporate titans to capture government and plunder the common good. So why won't he speak out against the same thing happening today?

Palestinian Director Basel Adra: As "No Other Land" Gets Oscar Nod, Israel Ramps Up West Bank Attacks

Tuberculosis outbreak in Kansas Measles outbreak in Texas Bird flu - first death among humans But yes, by all means, please fire CDC, NIH, and other scientists Everything will be fine

Picking up and detaining women and children so that you can exchange them for other hostages or even captured soldiers is wrong, no matter who does it

On climate protest, a superb point from @richarddenniss.bsky.social. If protest wasn't effective, govts wouldn't try to ban it. And as much as politicians like to talk about parliamentary logjams, as soon as fossil capital is threatened, they mobilise with extraordinary rapidity and efficacy.

How fucked up are things about to get? 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

Wow, I’m sure JD Vance is shocked to see the American Vice President call for jailing journalists he dislikes and will condemn this threat to free speech as forcefully as he did to European leaders this week

Interesting piece by Dr Ntobeko Ntusi on ho #USAID cuts can represent an opportunity to reimagine #globalhealth www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Che sia il caso di ripensare l'Atlantismo? 🤔🤔🤔 www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

Still internalising the Vance Munich speech. A sitting Vice President goes to Europe, barely says a word about the despotic murderous regime which has invaded its neighbour, and instead lectures his allies about freedom of speech. It’d be funny if it weren’t so serious.

Trump's USAID freeze is about to make $500 million in food aid go bad. Someone blew the whistle, so Trump fired them. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
