Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.” There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

A lot of people comment that I look like I stepped out of the #Handmaid'sTale in this picture. So many women and children in the USA are already subjected to complete patriarchal control. As a young Amish woman I had zero rights. Sign the Child Rights Act Petition! change.org/ChildRightsAct

– USA imploderer. Mer enn et kupp, får #USA nå smake sin egen medisin, regimeendring, bare at det nå kommer innenfra, fra en gruppe ekstremister som har tatt over statsapparatet og utfordrer rettsstaten, sier @skumsrud.bsky.social.

Media folks still amplifying the misinformation here, by calling gross cancelled spending “savings”. It’s not *savings* unless a credible source has done an analysis that shows the *same quality and quantity* of services are still being delivered at lower (social) costs. And that hasn’t been done.

Norway has evacuated 3,000 Ukrainian patients and their next of kin to hospitals in ten different countries in Europe since 2022. This is possible thanks to a good cooperation between the Norwegian Government and SAS. This important mission continues in support for Ukraine.

🇺🇦✈️🇳🇴 The medevac plane came back after another medical evacuation of Ukrainian patients yesterday. This helps those affected by Russia's attacks and eases pressure on Ukrainian healthcare. Military support for Ukraine is a priority and the NOR defence sector work every day to support Ukraine.

About yesterday's economic blackout. The retail establishment I work at experienced a LARGE drop in sales yesterday. So much so, that a number employees were told to stay home today. As we are unionized, we were offered sick pay in exchange to do so. We need to keep doing these blackouts! 1x a week?

Sometimes it feels like I’m going crazy, because there is something that is right in front of our faces, has been for years, and nobody of consequence ever says it: Donald Trump works for Vladimir Putin. How much more proof does anyone need? And what is anybody going to do about it?

DOGE is sharing its findings but Surprise!- they aren’t accurate. They repeat wrong numbers, add contracts were never given, and using the same numbers 3 & 4 times. There is more corruption and theft in DOGE since Musk has taken over. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory apple.news/A1zVI66XIQiK...

It's National Caregivers Day and I know all too well what caregiving entails. I was simultaneously the caregiver for my husband, Brian (#ALS) and my 9yo son, Eli (#DIPG). If you know a caregiver: call them and remind them how important they are. It makes all the difference.

Trump is literally fighting to let banks charge you higher overdraft fees. Democrats put a $5 cap on overdraft fees last year. Republicans, at Trump’s request, just introduced legislation to overturn that cap. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
