For Trumpsters who think only fraudsters will loose healthcare.
"Because of a statutory requirement to automatically impose budget cuts when legislation increases the deficit, the Big Beautiful Bill would require automatic cuts across the board."
"Medicare is one of the programs that will face the axe, starting in the next fiscal year that begins in October."

Republicans Are Cutting Medicare. Not Only Medicaid, Medicare.
Passage of the Big Beautiful Bill will force mandatory sequestration that will mean half a trillion dollars in Medicare cuts.David Dayen (The American Prospect)

📣 The number of followers of German scientific institutions in the #Fediverse surpassed the 160k mark 💥 last weekend, see
👉 https://mastodon-listen.playground.54gradsoftware.de/?liste=institute-de
Yes, it's true: we shouldn't get caught up in this nonsensical discussion about #reach in the Fediverse.
On the other hand, it’s a great success 🏆 for initiatives such as #Unis4Mastodon, #Byebyeelon, #WissXit, #SaveSocial, @helloQuitX and others that more than 150 research institutions in Germany are contributing to the expansion of the Fediverse.
To our friends in the #USA, we say that we are alarmed at how the new #USpolicy is attacking #science. We are trying to build decentralized and independent #socialnetworks to make our research institutions and democracy resilient to attacks from #autocrats and #hostilitytoscience.
And we think this transformation should happen in other countries, too, to strengthen #democracy.

DNA testing site 23andMe files for bankruptcy protection - https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9q4r9xy9wro
Of course...a bullshit company, like most companies, providing nothing useful for the people and now even putting their personal information (and DNA) at risk. Because you know, other company may buy it and who knows what it does with the data. I have been saying that since the beginning when everyone was so excited about this useless company.
To read the DNA for useful purposes should be the job of entities that do not make a business out of it, but take care of people´s health. This nonsense of "see where you ancestors are from" "see if you are fucking irish or a goblin", is so useless even if accurate, which may not even be.
Anyway, another story of nonsense companies that make people give them their data to then fuck up this information for everyone.

To meet people who think Putin and what he does in Ukraine is ok, or to say that Trump is a good choice for the USA, is quite a shocking experience. Almost like seeing Bigfoot. It is one thing to hear about it, another thing to see it.
It is astonishing to me how some people can be so idiotic and brainwashed. Unbelievable.
Had any of you read the Haugen/Facebook papers, you’d know:
Meta enabled #genocide, boosted polarising misinformation, created shadow profiles of their users, exploited their algorithms so much that it caused mental health issues in young teenagers (there are lawsuits!), sold out women who had abortions to the #police in #USA, did the Cambridge analytica thing, sold user data to thousands of data firms, and more, much more — if you think this corporation has your best interests in mind, idk.

A low internal sense of self and a need to be wanted are what ties Trump & Trumpers together.
Outlandish costumes scream "Here I am, look at me" and Trump's penchant for grandiosity (ie inflating crowd size) lead me to believe -
These people were not shown love as children. The effects of this are seen in their actions as adults.

The Circus Is in Town: Crowds Gather in Miami for Trump Arraignment

The key statement for me is this one:
“The Russian colonization of Siberia and conquest of its indigenous peoples has been compared to the European colonization of the Americas and its natives, with similar negative impacts on the natives and the appropriation of their land."
And then the author adds:
"I hate ALL imperialism: American imperialism and Russian imperialism.”
Me too!
