Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison squirted raw H5N1-containing milk from infected cows into the throats of anesthetized laboratory mice, finding that the virus caused systemic infections after the mice were observed swallowing the dose. The illnesses began quickly, with symptoms of lethargy and ruffled fur starting on day 1. On day 4, the animals were euthanized to prevent extended suffering.
Online discourse: "You have to convince me to vote for Joe #Biden"
Why? I don't like Joe Biden. The idea that anyone has to convince you to fall in love with Joe Biden is as absurd of a #political assertion as the #MAGA cult and #Trump, that #politics is about #passion
This is why I keep reiterating that while voting for Biden is necessary to slow down the fall of the USA to fascism, it's nowhere near enough.
There basically need to be people out in the streets protesting nonstop, and organizing even outside of the elections for political reform - on every level.
Republicans understood that if they wanted to change the country their way, they'd need to put their stooges on every level of the government - and it is now paying off handsomely with the court system.
"... highlights the incredible actions of the Israelis, suggesting they have become addicted to the sadism seen in Gaza, particularly targeting hospitals, schools, women, and children. He emphasizes that the first casualty of this war is morality, followed by human decency and truth."
"That helps explain how #Republicans have held a majority of seats on the #SupremeCourt for 55 consecutive years despite losing the popular #vote in seven of the last eight presidential elections: The #Republican majority on the Supreme Court interceded in an election to put a Republican loser in the White House where he could appoint two more Republican Supreme Court justices, perpetuating the Republican majority on the Court."

For the Women Who Accused the #Trump Campaign of Harassment, It’s Been More Harassment
Trump is well known for publicly bullying his #political rivals, but the former president’s campaign has also used similar tactics to launch private, relentless attacks against some of its own workers.
"Trump’s campaign used similar #bullying tactics against its own workers. These fights have been waged out of the public eye against #women with few resources to stand up against the campaign’s battery of #lawyers, paid from a seemingly bottomless trove of #campaign#money...
Supporters are giving him money earned with “blood, sweat a& tears,” Denson said. “And it is being turned around to terrorize people.”"

🤷🏻♀️ I don't think a source is necessary in this case, because what that man is saying is clear and very close to the truth
It could be any Russian telling this, because unfortunately that is the situation in Europe nowadays 🙈 It is only surprising that Western Europe and the US still do not understand how the Russians think and act
75 Jahre Grundgesetz. Es ist schon eine ziemlich gute Verfassung, keine Frage.
Nur schlimm, dass es erst 12 Jahre faschistischer Diktatur und tatkräftige Unterstützung durch die Alliierten gebraucht hat, um unserem Land diese Verfassung zu geben.

Ich plane hierzu einen Thread in der kommenden Woche.
