Demokraten, die mehr bzw. überhaupt etwas erreichen wollten, das ignoriert hätten. Mitnichten, denn was Samuel Jackisch weglässt? Das Geld mag nun wieder fließen, aber gerade jene Menschen im Niedriglohnsektor stehen dann ohne Krankenversicherung da. Dazu natürlich kein Wort.

für Millionen Menschen ÜBERHAUPT NOCH BEZAHLBAR ist, wenn sich die Kosten ab nächstem Jahr teilweise VERVIERFACHEN. Die Dimension dessen, worum es hier geht, wird komplett verniedlicht. Es entsteht der Eindruck, die Demokraten hätten hier "nur" bockig um eine "Wohltat" gekämpft.

When we sampled bathing waters around England, with @sascampaigns.bsky.social, river groups + @alistairboxall.bsky.social we found antibiotic resistance genes at all but one site tested. We are creating ideal conditions for untreatable diseases to arise.

If you live in an English town your sewage will likely be treated twice before being discharged into a river. If you live in a small village it may only be treated once. Neither is enough to destroy all the meds + pathogens in sewage. In Switzerland, they treat water 3x to destroy meds + pathogens🧵

⚠️💧 A new study by the University of Exeter found that when common non-antibiotic drugs like painkillers mix with antibiotics in our waterways, they help bacteria become antibiotic-resistant.

This aligns with findings from our Autumn #GreatUKWaterBlitz. 🔗 https://earthwatch.pulse.ly/cpuuoj9fg5

“Wir in Deutschland importieren fossile Brennstoffe für mehr als 80 Milliarden Euro pro Jahr. Das ist buchstäblich verbranntes Geld.

Sogar in Deutschland verkaufen sich Wärmepumpen, allen Kampagnen, aller Desinformation zum Trotz, längst besser als Gasheizungen.”

A historic turning point for clean heating in Europe: For the first time, in the first half of 2025 sales of heat pumps in Germany have surpassed those of gas boilers.

This is a big milestone, demonstrating that the transition away from fossil fuels in our buildings is not just a future ambition.

Across the middle of the image, bold white text on black rectangles reads “CLIMATE PLUNDER.” Below, smaller white text states, “How a powerful few are locking the world into disaster.” In the bottom-right corner, the Oxfam logo and the word “OXFAM” appear in white.

Many chemicals are added to plastic as part of the production process. So, plastic pellets may be far from inert + harmless if sea creatures consume them.

Testing carried out for Watershed, by scientist David Megson, found plastic pellets can absorb pollutants from water, passing them to animals who eat them. Particularly worrying if it is confirmed those at Camber Sands came from a wastewater treatment plant.

Claims of felling 250 year-old trees + shipping them thousands of miles to burn in a power station, releasing fine particulate pollution linked to breathing + heart conditions.

Perhaps, instead of subsidising this, our tax money could go to treating people with those conditions?

🚨 Dr. Ghassan Abu Sitta describes evidence of systematic organ theft from Palestinian bodies recently returned from Israeli custody, saying hearts, lungs, kidneys, and corneas were surgically removed from those killed in Gaza. He noted surgical cuts and stitching from the chest to the abdomen, opened with a medical bone saw, and skin showing burn marks from preservation chemicals. Sahat English 🇵🇸 @sahatenglish In an interview with @AJEnglish @AJArabic , Dr. @GhassanAbuSitt1 revealed medical evidence indicating that vital organs — including hearts, lungs, kidneys, and corneas — were surgically stolen by the Israeli occupation from Palestinian martyrs in #Gaza. He noted that the chest cavities were opened using a medical bone saw, organs were extracted without damage, and skin bore burn marks consistent with preservation chemicals. These findings, he says, point to systematic organ removal under Israeli custody.
