โšก๏ธWhy is the EU still funding Putin's war?

The Guardian reports the EU is the #1 buyer of Russian gas, purchasing 50% of all its LNG.

HU, SK, FR, BE, & NL are still sending millions to the Kremlin.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Stop funding Putinโ€™s war against Ukraine ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ!

Medicine and Pregnancy: An Overview Learn how common it is to take medicines during pregnancy and what you should do if you're pregnant.

โš ๏ธ CDC quietly updated its webpage to caution pregnant people about acetaminophen (Tylenol).

Sneaky changes driven by politics instead of science erode public trust and put lives at risk.

As scientists who once shaped CDC's webpages, this is heartbreaking. ๐Ÿ’”

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

RACISM in Kyiv, on Khreschatyk Street. This woman called me a nigger repeatedly and told me to go back to Africa because this country is for Ukrainiansโ€”not niggers.

When I turned on the camera, she turned into a Karen.

Thing is, sheโ€™s not even Ukrainian. Prolly American. In fact, almost certain.

The evolution of Trump's policy since Feb: first, he thought it'd be easy to get the Nobel-- freeze the frontline, give Ru all occupied territories, leave rump Ukraine without security guarantees; Ru would agree to this super reasonable offer so it can stop bleeding and get sanctions lifted. But...

Russia is attempting to use the same tactic in Poland as it used before its full-scale invasion into #Ukraine: it tests the reaction of the West (not just the EU, but the United States first and foremost).

The more Russia is allowed to get away with, the more brazen the next "test" will be.

Once the occupied territories are liberated, I think we'll see Derussification occur much faster than decommunization did

Lets break it down for her like this, because TERFs are apparently a bit slow on working this out

Linehan assaulted and threatened a trans child and called for mass violence against us. I'm glad he was arrested

I don't think any old TERF with bs opinions should be arrested

See how easy that is?
