#Trump White House resisted allowing an American doctor exposed to #Ebola while working in the #DRC to return to the #US, acc/to 5 people familiar with the Ebola response…, delaying the #evacuation & #care of Peter Stafford, who was ultimately transported to #Germany [Danke Deutschland].

The admin’s reluctance to bring an infected American back to US soil marked a sharp contrast with the 2014 West Africa Ebola outbreak.

May 9, 1921: Sophie Scholl was born on this date in 1921. She was a central member of the anti-Nazi White Rose group in wartime Germany. She was captured, charged with high treason for distributing anti-war literature, & beheaded along with her brother, Hans. Since the 1970’s her antifascist resistance has been recognized and honored.

#Trump is withdrawing 5k troops from #Germany

The #US is withdrawing 5k ​troops from Germany, the ‌#Pentagon announced Friday, in a rebuke to the close ​#NATO ally amid a ⁠widening rift between Trump & #Europe ​over the #Iran #war.

Trump had threatened a drawdown in forces ​earlier this week ​after sparring with German Chancellor Friedrich ‌#Merz, ⁠who said the Iranians were humiliating the US in talks ​to ​end ⁠the 2-month-old war.

When #whale strandings occur the usual thought is the whale is sick and dying

But the federal state of #MecklenburgVorpommern in #Germany, when a #humpbackwhale they named #Timmy stranded there, decided to...

Put it on a barge and take it to the #NorthSea

😲

I am gobsmacked at the adventurous romantic sentiment. They refused to let Timmy die

We'll soon see how Timmy fares when released. If it does well, it could change how we treat whale strandings

👈 Boop! Photo of me booping a giant bucket wheel excavator right on the bucket-snoot.

The scale of these machines is mind-blowing! A mechanical monster that once tore through the Earth strip mining coal.

This monster is long dead, its rusting hulk retired and put out to pasture.

"We show that #climate litigation can lead to the implementation of significant policy changes. The paper concludes by arguing that with each successful climate case taken against a state, the corpus of international jurisprudence grows and reverberates, creating a ‘domino effect’ in climate litigation. Each judgment adds to the resource base of case law that can be cited in the future, serving to intensify the pressure on policymakers."
