American Ingenuity Beat the Polio Outbreak—So Why Risk Letting It Return? We should, none of us, consent to going back to the past…

When Paul woke, he couldn’t move. A tent surrounded him, too foggy to see through. The humidity was supposed to help, but in the damp darkness he felt only fear. In a scene that predates the Matrix by 50 years, he was one kid in a sea of many, each in a metal pod and plugged in to machinery. #Polio

SPD und Union haben mit Hilfe der AfD bestimmt, dass die Regierung jetzt nach eigenem Ermessen festlegen kann, was ein sicheres Herkunftsland ist. Zum Ausgleich haben sie den Rechtsbeistand für Abzuschiebende gestrichen, obwohl viele Abschiebungen rechtswidrig erfolgt. Sie nennen es Beschleunigung.
