Le Monde, "French MPs vote through the left's wealth tax on the ultra-rich" Your reminder that a 2% wealth tax on those with £10 million, affecting 0.04% of the UK population, would raise £24 billion a year You have to wonder why Labour chose not to do this..

It's strikingly similar to the white supremacy campaigns in Reconstruction North Carolina, as described by Gregory Downs in Declarations of Independence (p.192), where Black employment in government jobs was framed as prima facie evidence of anti-white discrimination.

Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

Agree. NEED SPECIFIC PLANS

"The crowd again started shouting 'tax Elon,' 'tax the wealthy,” “tax the rich' and 'tax the billionaires.'" The county went 68% for Trump www.lagrandeobserver.com/news/local/r...

Agree but speaking out in echo chambers ain't gonna cut it. These goofs feed off your sternly worded emails and letters. Take the fight to the streets. ACTION SPEAKS. Too late for words.

"we should try to use a more diverse range of services... (such as Zenodo instead of OSF for depositing data and manuscripts, or EuropePMC instead of PubMed Central)" I always recommend those anyway as they're just better than their US counterparts 🤷

Great work. Several years from now pharma will demand billions for drugs targeting this pathway claiming after German people funded research for this discovery.

Normalize calling Republicans Nazis.

Lets see if the idiots go thru with cuts to military. Would be huge strategic blunder. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

"Measles cases continue to grow in an outbreak in west Texas...confirmed infections is now up to 58...48 cases in children...13 patients have been hospitalized" No comment on federal response. Thoughts and prayers. Nothing could have been done. www.usatoday.com/story/news/h...

It takes a lot to put me on AOC’s side. But she’s absolutely right here.

On this day in 1942: a nation's enduring shame.

That’s how you write a headline, people.

When ordered by Nazis to give lists of disabled people by disability severity, some doctors sent back exaggerated data to protect patients from forced work They didn't know that the "most disabled" were to be killed first The moral here isn't to tell the truth It's to never co-operate with Nazis

Thank you for finding this. Transplantation is a high-risk / reward proposition. These actions only heighten the risk.

In my city there is one cybertruck and one DIY parody of a cybertruck and the parody truck has become a local celebrity. Meanwhile, I always wish I had some rotten eggs to throw at the tesla whenever I see it.

@homefield.bsky.social Please, please

@vanjackson.bsky.social @adamserwer.bsky.social I hope you're enjoying the Martian Revolution as it's setting out an entertaining-frightening template for current goings on in Washington. See you in the Stockades!

Friends just shared this with me

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990. One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS. #LGBTplusHistoryMonth

Germany: The stakes are too high to allow a fascist party in power. Focus on the most important goal of preventing fascism. The world is rooting for you to preserve democracy. Parties, Unite Together to Ensure #NoAfD & Out with the Oligarchs. #BanX and #DumpTesla www.aa.com.tr/en/europe/in...

Another way the dictatorship might kill you. This is from a friend who is a retired air traffic controller.

From an FDA probationary employee: the firings are coming from outside the agency without cause and with zero input from supervisors (as promised.) More firings expected between now and Tuesday. Do not open the termination email before you download your documents and performance evals.
