Elon Musk casually, and illegally, dismantled USAID. According to a new study in the Lancet, that action will lead to *14 million* premature deaths between 2025 and 2030.

Again: Elon Musk is directly responsible for 14 million coming deaths. 4.5 million will be children.

Dette skjer nå. Internasjonale studenter i hundretalls anmodes om å deportere seg selv ut av USA på grunnlag av aktivisme på campus eller for å dele en status på sosiale medier. Det rettslige grunnlaget er ikke noe spørsmål for myndighetene.
Hundreds of international students have just received an email telling them their visas have been revoked.

The ‘justification’ is campus activism or social media posts.

Jeg synes ikke mediene gjør noen god jobb med å fortelle hva som skjer i USA, så jeg gjør like godt et forsøk selv. Hvis du har lyst til å beholde ditt gode humør kan det være du bør lese noe annet. Lang tråd, med linker.

Why posting links to source should be a #BlueskyNorm

1) It fights misinfo and disinformation
2) It gives credit to hard-working journalists, writers, academics, and artists who made the thing.

Friendly reminder that because Bluesky does not throttle posts with links, there's no reason to post screen shots without a link to the source!
