Wenn die FDP morgen knapp über 5% kommt, ist sie die mächtigste Partei im Bundestag. Sie wird CDU & SPD erpressen und weiß Söder, BILD & Co an ihrer Seite. Auch wenn sie ⚫️🟡 wollte, der SPD wird sie in einer Deutschlandkoalition alles abringen. Genau das war ihr D-Day-Plan.

Merz sollte sich schämen, seine Sätze zum Mord an Lübcke beim Wahlkampfabschluss der Union sind infam. 2019 hat die CDU-Spitze vor dem Hintergrund der Ermordung Lübckes beschlossen: „Jeder, der in der CDU für eine Annäherung oder gar Zusammenarbeit mit der AfD plädiert, muss wissen, dass er (1/x)

Dass Merz sich nicht schämt, Walter Lübckes Namen in den Mund zu nehmen, um Menschen zu diskreditieren, die gegen Faschismus und Rechtsruck aufstehen, nachdem er selbst die Brandmauer zu der Partei, zu deren Fans Lübckes Mörder gehört, eingerissen hat. Verlogen und verkommen.

A Congolese humanitarian worker at Doctors without Borders has been killed at a hospital in eastern DRC, where refugees sought shelter from Rwandan rebels M23. On that single day, Feb 20, 11 civilians were being treated for gunshot wounds at the clinic. @msfincanada.bsky.social

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

Der Dunninng-Kruger-Effekt, führt dazu, dass ein #Fritze #Merz gar nicht begreifen kann, welche Leistung Habeck unter dem Blockadebedingungen durch #SPD und #FDP tatsächlich in einer Situation vollbracht hat, wo das russische Gas ausgefallen ist. Kein möglicher CDU-Minister hätte das leisten können.

Strategische Diskussionen darüber, wie es im Bereich Global Health weitergehen sollte sind viel zu lange herausgezögert worden, sagt Ilona Kickbusch in unserer neuen Folge @pandemia.bsky.social. "Ich glaube, man muss sich dem stellen" podcasts.apple.com/de/podcast/p...

”We can confirm that baby Kfir Bibas, just 10 months old, and his older brother Ariel, aged four, were both brutally murdered by terrorists while being held hostage in Gaza no later than November 2023.”

A small study, but it will be worth following to see if the larger study now underway confirms that this might work. “In this small, preliminary trial of 16 patients, half had a strong immune response to the vaccine. Most of these responders remained cancer-free for more than three years”

Meant to post this yesterday but better late than never! @charlesgaba.com and @niema.net are the GOATs who continue to plug away at archiving and organizing government websites so people can access the data we paid for with our tax dollars. Now it's NIH's turn to be preserved!

How We Know that Vaccines Are Safe www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/... by @jonathanjarry.bsky.social Reality: "Vaccine safety is studied in a series of larger and larger clinical trials before they can be approved, and surveillance continues after a vaccine is used to monitor for rare side effects."

This has no purpose other than to break our national capacity for public health & outbreak response by the most cruel, insulting, & inhumane means available. To all my colleagues: I don't believe these claims. Thank you for your public service. To DOGE: Fuck you for your public disservice.

Nach 80 Jahren Kanzlern von Union und SPD, stürzen Brücken ein, das Stromnetz ist marode, von den Schulgebäuden bröselt der Putz. Die gesamte Infrastruktur ist runtergerockt und ausverkauft. Aber aus den Millionären sind Milliardäre geworden.

Vor 3 Jahren sind wir in einer anderen Welt aufgewacht. Mit der #Zeitenwende haben wir verhindert, dass sich der russische Angriffskrieg in der Ukraine noch weiter ausbreitet. Im Lichte des US-Chaos braucht es jetzt eine Zeitenwende 2.0 für Europa. Um unseren #Frieden zu sichern.

BBC News on hour reporting straight that Trump has got rid of military chiefs because ‘they’re too mired in woke culture’ 🤯🤯🤯 Traditional liberal democratic media still hasn’t learned how to report on authoritarians, even now when it’s almost too late

1. A #flu season update: It looks like flu season is starting to subside in the US, with some of the deep red and purple coming out of the #CDC's map charting influenza-like illness. Last week (most recent) is on the right; left is the week before. www.cdc.gov/fluview/surv...

Letting #H5N1 spread unchecked allows for virus evolution and development of resistance to therapeutics. We need stronger mitigation measures & development of additional therapeutics. How will these breakthroughs happen if US govt continues to fire scientists & defunds research? 🤦‍♂️💉

I hate these late night Friday announcements! Last Friday was a HHS massacre – 3,200 fired 😱💔. Today, it's a DoD bloodbath: 5,400 civilians gone, plus the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Chief of Naval Ops & Air Force Vice Chief axed 💥🔥. These actions make the US & world increasingly unsafe 🚨🌍.

Does your child want to go to college, want to go to med or grad school? The new cures for diseases, new technologies that we depend on come out of universities. #Trump, #Musk, #Vought are now killing higher education. If you haven't been paying attention, this would be a good time to wake up.

🇺🇸🧐🇺🇦 Ukrainian MP Goncharenko report that the agreement between Ukraine and the U.S. on minerals will be signed by Sybiha and Rubio.

The correct context for this is authoritarianism versus democracy. People need to realize that and choose a side.

I would never have thought that academia and science would be the first to bend their knees.

Amid an outbreak that displays the toll of measles in under-vaccinated pockets of America, lawmakers have filed scores of bills that will limit vaccination further. Most people believe in the benefits of measles vaccination. Grassroots groups are trying to have those voices be heard. Links in story

Interestingly, in the view of Trump and Musk, this war is not "pointless" for Russia, which has lost over 200,000 KIA, sending costly human wave attacks for months and years to seize the lifeless smoking ruins of distant Ukrainian towns in Donbas and declare yet another grandiose victory on TV.

🧐❗️"Putin wants to make a deal. And he doesn't have to make a deal, because if he wanted, he'd get the whole country," — Trump ‼️ "I'm not trying to make Putin like nicer or better. I'm just telling you the fact that war should have never happened."

Measles is caused by the measles, or rubeola, virus. It transmits through the air and is extremely contagious. Its reproduction number is estimated to be 12-18, so each infected person generates 12-18 new cases in a susceptible population. Best way to avoid it: vaccination.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center say results of a Phase I trial of an mRNA vaccine aimed at preventing pancreatic cancer show promise. The vaccine PREVENTED the cancer from coming back in patients who had already received treatment for MORE THAN three years. 🧪🧵⬇️
