@lukaskluge @aral We have been doing this on a weekly basis in the small town of Westport for well over a year - yes it gives visibility, it's important, but I feel so discouraged, furious, devastated, heartbroken. I also tag governments/EU here and on shitty Bluesky, but looks like nobody cares enough to set aside their own little national interests to just #StopIsrael ...

Here’s a no-context fact:

I personally reviewed every single death at my hospital in 2021. Using a very conservative means of attributing cause, 45% of the deaths were clearly a direct result of infection with SARS-CoV-2. The spreadsheet is still on the hospital’s cloud servers.

This is the beautiful moment, where Victor Orbán of Hungary and Robert Fico of Slovakia FINALLY reached the find out phase.

EU has stopped purchasing Russian oil, but Orban and Fico kept buying, while in the EU, these two leaders voted against helping Ukraine.

But now Ukraine has bombed the pumping stations used to supply Hungary and Slovakia. And so Orban and Fico are screaming for other EU leaders to help them get Ukraine to stop.

But no one listens. You made your bed. Now lie in it.

I first heard about student loan forgiveness in the early 2000s. Dozens of think pieces for a decade then Biden tries it and then the court battles and 20 years later it’s barely implemented and under constant threat of removal.

When Trump has a terrible idea on Monday and it’s law of the land on Tuesday, something is very wrong.

Gotta say it sucks to hear over the last 30-40 years how progressive policies that directly help citizens could never be enabled by the stroke of a pen, but in just a few short months a moody dictator can enact any cruel authoritarian idea no one wants or needs and it gets implemented nationwide, instantly.
