Trump loves saying 'You're fired.' Now he's making it easier to fire federal workers


The Trump administration's plans to convert some 50,000 civil servants into at-will employees has some worried that essential government functions will be politicized.

📣 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.

Isnt this illustration saying a lot....

I like how on https://tromnews.com/illustrations/ you can see this world represented with illustrations rather than words. And they say a lot.

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.

So remember folks, support huge EU corporations like this German one instead of US ones because our European Values™ are… oh…

“What Europe needs is something like DOGE.” – Tim Höttges, CEO, Deutsche Telekom AG (also, an asshole)

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.


Like Putin-"UP IN SMOKE"

Dramatic first pic shows Putin’s prized supersonic nuke bomber completely DESTROYED by ONE Ukrainian kamikaze drone

His military in tatters after 270,000 Russian dead in Ukraine, his economy gasping for air as the the ruble falls against the mighty dollar, Putin is ignoring the obvious - "IT'S TIME TO LEAVE UKRAINE!"

On this 4th of July, I think it’s important to recall that George Washington once tried to kidnap a baby into slavery and Thomas Jefferson was a serial rapist of his wife’s sister, whom he owned as a slave.

The Clown Show Is in Town: Small Crowds Gathered in Miami for Trump Arraignment

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.

NEED ME...SEE ME!

Here's a link to a very interesting (and very long!) blog article about the history of Russian colonialism and imperialism.

https://damienmarieathope.com/2023/04/decolonize-russia-siberian-land-backrussian-conquest-of-siberia-and-the-spread-of-russian-imperialism-colonialism/

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!

Majority of Melatonin Gummies in the US Inaccurately Labeled

The vast majority of melatonin gummies sold in the US may contain up to 347% more melatonin than is listed on the label, new research shows

Investigators found that consuming some products as directed could expose consumers, including children, to doses that are 40 to 130 times greater than what's recommended

For those of you, like me, watching America’s rapid descent into fascism in abject horror from the sidelines in Europe, remember: where America goes, the West soon follows. If we don’t like where that is, we must do better than doing the same things and hoping for different outcomes.

What I’m saying is America is a warning, not an instruction manual.
