Feels like something is going on in MAGA social media groups. They are attacking the European Union and trying to insert their disinformation into European political debates more and more in recent weeks. Maybe I am being a little conspiratorial, but it feels coordinated and absolutely not organic.

Ainda esta semana, a pediatra do meu pequeno me disse ser muito feliz como "médica de bebés e crianças saudáveis". Quase 40 anos de serviço e a certeza de que os maiores avanços na medicina materna/infantil foram o Programa Nacional de Vacinação e partos em hospitais.

Partos em casa: uma melhor experiência ou um “retrocesso”?
Legislação continua a ser omissa, mas em 2024 mais de 800 bebés nasceram em casa. Quem os pratica e escolhe diz que são tão seguros como partos no hospital. Ordem dos Enfermeiros recebeu nove queixas.

We should get serious about sanctions. Russian missiles that kill Ukrainian civilians contain parts made in the West. And this repeated mass murder of civilians by Moscow should bring total boycotts on Russian gas and oil. And the Ukrainians should get everything they need to defend themselves

34. Europeans shouldn't feel guilty about using electricity for airconditioning, it'll all come from the sun anyway by 2030. Solar generation times and seasons match airconditioning demand pretty well, which is good news for really hot countries as well.

“Why families are moving to Hudson Que., a small town west of Montreal”
When you don’t build enough housing to meet demand in the central city, you push people out to live in the suburbs (whether they want to or not).
More driving, less walking, cycling, and transit, on average.
