Comment l’UE, qui défend l’égalité des sexes et la santé mondiale, peut-elle laisser Trump mener sa guerre contre les droits reproductifs en Europe ? @EmmanuelMacron @vonderleyen @hadjalahbib @jnbarrot @yannickneuder : Stoppez la destruction des contraceptifs USAID !

Sanders: A woman is walking down the street, a car stops, and these guys — in plain clothes and masks — grab her, throw her into the car, and take off. That happened in Vermont today. That’s the kind of thing that happens in dictatorships, not in a democracy.

A child in the U.S. has died from measles.

In another administration, the death and growing outbreak would likely have been met with urgent calls from the president and Health and Human Services secretary for parents to vaccinate their children.

But this is public health in the Kennedy era.
A measles crisis decades in the making: How RFK Jr. helped drive America to this moment
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sits atop the very health system he spent years attacking, and he’s already chipping away at the institutions he’s been appointed to lead.

@lesindependants.bsky.social pourquoi ne pas poster ici le discours de notre ami Claude Malhuret lors du débat au Sénat sur la guerre en Ukraine ? Ceci pourrait participer à l’essor de Bluesky au détriment de la plateforme du bouffon sous kétamine
