Blows my mind that some of the same journalists who see Trump as a want-to-be dictator at home are earnestly discussing the "challenges" for this same man to "bring democracy" to a country it just illegal invaded. Please grow up.

Casual reminder that the myth of โ€œpulling yourself up by your bootstrapsโ€ is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

This is what it's all about. Fantastic to see @lshtm.bsky.social leading the way. Being a PhD Candidate here means being part of a global effort to improve health for everyone, everywhere. Excited to play a small part.

We found there is "political will" and a concrete plan but (unsurprisingly) no money.

What's the issue?

The lack of a strong network of interested parties limits the power to demand for resources.

Looking forward to re-engaging with this series, which brilliantly illustrates Capitalism's contradictions while hinting at potential pathways to Overcome them.

Editorโ€™s note: Claudia Sheinbaum is not Donald Trumpโ€™s foil. She is his parallel. โ€” The Mexico Brief. by Andrew Law, editor and founder. Itโ€™s been impossible to miss during Trumpโ€™s second term how, in corners of US media and the anti-Trump internet, President Claudia Sheinbaum is cast as his foil:...

Claudia Sheinbaumโ€™s โ€˜end of neoliberalismโ€™ looks like Donald Trumpโ€™s statist oligarchy. Her โ€˜poverty reductionโ€™ hides a collapse in healthcare access. Her murder stats mask a disappearance crisis. Sheโ€˜s redefining the terms of reality itself in a direct parallel to Trumpโ€™s assault on truth.

Have a child in school or one about to start? Illnesses like measles and whooping cough can be serious. Vaccinating your child can help protect them.

Look in your childโ€™s red book or check if their vaccinations are up to date with your GP practice ๐Ÿ“† ๐Ÿ‘‡

As World Turns Focus to Iran, Lethal Violence Flares at Gaza Aid Sites The ongoing bloodshed in Gaza is drawing less attention with the international community distracted by the new regional conflict between Israel and Iran.

Dozens of Palestinians have been killed this week near aid distribution sites in the Gaza Strip, according to the territoryโ€™s health ministry. In recent weeks, Israeli forces have repeatedly used lethal force against hungry and desperate Palestinian civilians.

In a couple of days judges (incl. Supreme Court ) in ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฝ are to be defined by popular vote, instead of the previous professional public servant career pathway.

This is a recipe for state capture by: organized crime, political parties, and the industry.

Reports from Gaza confirm that people are now literally dying of starvation.

Western leaders have issued words of condemnation, but words are not enough. They have the power to stop this genocide now.

This is great marketing (effect is evident in the 1st month), not particularly great for financial sustainability (weight maintenance depends on continuous use)

It is "normoweight" subscription

Who should pay and why? Should they pay?
