Very disappointing news from the Netherlands

In the Dutch newspaper the Volkskrant this article.

Translation;

Expensive medications excluded from research into fatigue syndrome in advance.

Promising medications for chronic fatigue syndrome cannot be researched because they are too expensive.

ZonMw that distributes research funding on behalf of the government, will at this time only fund researchers if they test medications that are no longer under patent.

This should avoid high cost and legal issues.

The so-called Save America Act will force 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates just to register to vote. Most do not have them ready. Turning paperwork into a barrier is a poll tax by another name. #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/L9X3k1fQ

Distraction is how the Epstein network maintains itself. Seeing the class divide clearly is the first step.

Why is nobody talking about how the Epstein files are now 30 days past due?

Release the Epstein files.

This isn’t immigration policy. It’s a business model.

ICE keeps growing, not because it makes America safer, but because corporations are raking in billions off cages, bodies, and suffering. ICE’s existence is a massive revenue stream.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply.

I want to make sure this is very clear.

Pope Leo calls on US authorities to respect migrants' spiritual needs Pope Leo XIV appealed for greater consideration for the "spiritual rights" of migrants in the United States, saying church ministers should be allowed to provide pastoral care to detained people.

Our new health insurance premium feels more like a shakedown‼️

Thank you, @politicsgirl.bsky.social , for sharing your story. You’re rightβ€”there are millions like you.

Our new premium is over $3K/month for a family of three. Could we scrape it together? Maybe. Should we have to? No.

If you’re not familiar w/ Aktion T4, it’s time to learn. It started w/ disabled kids whose parents wanted them killed out of β€œmercy.” β€œNatural” killing via pneumonia & starvation. Eugenics & euthanasia propaganda. Normalizing mass death as good. Disabled ppl have been begging you to pay attention

This story is simply about arbitrary, constantly changing cruel & inhumane rules for visitors. Inhumanity seems to be the point and motivating factor. There is no other explanation to what is happening to the families desperate to see their loved ones one more time before they are deported.

@rasjbaraka.bsky.social @booker.senate.gov @kim.senate.gov inhumane treatment of visitors to #delaneyhall are happening in Newark. Including lack of any legal parking options and today tickets and tow by Newark PD. What are you doing about this cruelty in your jurisdiction?

β€˜Horrific’: report reveals abuse of pregnant women and children at US Ice facilities Report from senator Jon Ossoff’s office found 510 credible reports of human rights abuses since Trump’s inauguration

"Regardless of our views on immigration policy, the American people do not support the abuse of detainees and prisoners … it’s more important than ever to shine a light on what’s happening behind bars and barbed wire, especially and most shockingly to children,”

Trump order pushes local officials to clear unhoused people from streets Order removes restrictions from municipalities and redirects funds toward rehabilitation and treatment

β€œToday’s executive orders, combined with Maga’s budget cuts for housing and healthcare, will increase the number of people forced to live in tents, in their cars, and on the streets,” said Jesse Rabinowitz of the National Homelessness Law Center.
