Sielaff is back in Germany after being held for two weeks without cause or explanation.

The U.S. is not a safe place to travel anymore.
Vote with your dollars (and your feet!) and go literally anywhere else.
This is especially applicable to my fellow Canadians. Don’t risk your freedom or support the economy of a country whose leader is threatening to annex us.

America,, your media will not show you Canada's response to Trump's tariffs.
Here is Trudeau's entire speech. You're welcome to share it among your friends.
Hm.
This pivot in American foreign policy is bigger than the fall of the Soviet Union.
Note:
- Withdrawal from the international order that it had created, carefully and diligently since President Wilson,
- Realignment to authoritarian-focused governments, and making expendable those they've committed to defend (read: Ukraine), and
- Invalidating trade alignments and longstanding alliances that have existed for 100+ years.
Farmers:
Also, get ready for" much higher costs for:
- Fertilizer
- Energy,
- No longer having access to undocumented workers which you pay below-minimum-wages for.
Also, American Food Consumers (ie. all American's):
Get ready for:
- Higher prices
- Lower quality
- No "onerous" food quality and safety regulations!
The Dow Jones Industrial Average has lost all (100%) of the value it had gained since #Trump was elected.
Today it is poised to tumble substantially thanks to the #TrumpTariffs.
This is all on you #UnitedStates!
RFK Jr finally recommends vaccination to deal with the measles outbreak hitting Texas right now.
This is quite the about face for a man who’s been spreading harmful anti-vaxx rhetoric for years.
Just a few days ago he was minimizing the outbreak by saying it was “normal” and recommending vitamin A.
What changed? Not going to lie… my initial thought was “it must be really bad if RFK Jr is pushing the vaccine”
Please folks, get your boosters. Wear a mask. Clean the air. Protect your health & the health of those around you.

Disability is a minority group that you can join at any time. It often happens in an instant and without warning.
You can’t plan for it. Most of us didn’t plan for it.
Everyone believes they will be the exception, but the truth is we’re all one accident, illness or catastrophic event from life changing disability
Cuts to social security will be devastating for disabled people. Delays in approval and funding will cost lives.

Texas becomes the latest State to propose a mask ban (while in the midst of a measles outbreak that’s currently over 100 cases).
These are ugly laws. They’re discriminatory & push disabled people further out of society. They increase the likelihood of police harassment. They paint maskers as “bad”.
There’s an excellent document with scripts for how to call & fight back! 🧵 1/2

The entire world sees Nazis. We... won't shop for a day? This is nonsense.
What sort of resistance should a nation with more bullets than guns, and more guns than people, one with a history of its progressive icons getting their heads blown off when they annoyed Republicans, do to show its contempt for its Nazi leaders? Not shop for a day?
Ukrainians are fighting a war.
Americans are fighting illusions in our heads planted by our own mass media, subservient to politicians with lofty degrees bashing education and science while crudely and blatantly following Hitler's playbook.
Should the resistance be a day of stocking up, followed by a day of fake fury against retailers with thin profit margins, followed by restocking, or are we ready and willing to fight actual, motherfucking Nazis?
Ooh. Susie didn't buy toilet paper on the 28th as Elon stole and fired away. HE'S NOT VETTED AT ALL!
Did the Kremlin come up with this one? It's pretty humiliating, given that Ukrainians are dying to stop Russia.

If you want to fight fascism? Wear a mask.
If you want to show solidarity with disabled people? Wear a mask.
If you want to protect your own health? Wear a mask.
If you recognize that no one is coming to save us? Wear a mask.
My ultimate guide to respirators looks at the early days of mask mandates, the rise of antimaskers, how to up your mask game for the ultimate personal protection and why we need to “fix our hearts or die”
