Has it ever occurred to politicians that the problem is not a crisis of migration, but a crisis of fabrication of misleading problems? Yes, there are a lot of migrants. This *will* continue. That's why the approach of 'fortress Europe' will not work. theguardian.com/world/2024/jan…
From the Netherlands to Germany, the more politicians play into the fabrication of the wrong problem, the more hate they will stir up; the more populist our politics will become; and the more the far right will grow... to the point of this in Germany: theguardian.com/world/2024/jan…
No anti-migration policy will make the lives of local people better.
Not even a complete stop to migration, if it was possible, would do so.
Quite the opposite, actually.

MIDDLE EAST QUESTION OF THE DAY: Is Israel an an apartheid state? Is it a place in which Palestinian Arabs, blacks, Asians and people who are not Jewish live in a completely separate and officially unequal society like old South Africa? Or like Jim Crow America? Speaking from Israel I can say this personally … No. Absolutely not.
Israel is easily the most racially, culturally, religiously integrated and democratic society between Europe and Australia. Thomas Hand is right. Listen to his video . 1/7

In my 40 years living and working in the Middle East, North Africa and SouthWest Asia Israel is easily the most integrated & democratic society I’ve seen. There is certainly a Jewish majority but recall 80% of them are not from Europe (Ashkenazim) but ethnically cleansed emigres banished from the Muslim world (Mizrahi & Sephardic). It’s unfortunate, but it’s a fact. Also, Israel is a surprisingly brown country. Anywhere else most would be considered POC. It’s hard to tell Mizrahi Jews from local Palestinians, who are 20% of the population. They are the Palestinians who did not leave in 1948 & thrived here. 2/7
The subSaharan-African population is sizable here as well. Ethiopian Jews make up 3% of the population. 160,000 people. The first person I met getting my morning coffee was a Christian refugee brought from Darfur to escape the ethnic cleansing by Janjaweed militias. 3/7
Thread: The Girls I Met in the Tunnels
Seventeen-year-old Agam Goldstein-Almog saw Hamas murder her father and sister. Then she was taken to Gaza.
These are excerpts of her words on her experiences as a hostage of Hamas.
1. Together with my two young brothers, aged nine and eleven, the four of us had been taken from our home in Kibbutz Kfar Aza on the morning of October 7, but not before terrorists shot my father, Nadav, point blank, and afterward went after my older sister, Yam, the bullet tearing through her face. Their blood spattered everywhere. We stepped over my father’s dying body as the terrorists screamed at us, took us out of our home, and drove us into Gaza.

2. We were moved a lot during our time in confinement, transferred through a series of homes, apartments, tunnels, and even a mosque in Gaza. Our captors were cruel. During our captivity, they told us they “would be back” to our kibbutz. The fear was paralyzing. It overtook me. I remember saying to my mom when we entered the city, “They’re going to torture me. They’re going to rape me.”
3. It was in the tunnels that I met other young women. Most of them were just a year or so older than my 17 years. Some still had bloody gunshot wounds that had been left untreated in makeshift bandages. One had a dismembered limb.
In today's #vatniksoup, I'll introduce a Russian scientist, businesswoman and former acrobatic dancer, Katerina Tikhonova née Putina. She's best-known for being the daughter of Vladimir Putin, and for making hefty profits after investing in AI and drone technologies.

Katerina was born in Dresden, East Germany, but some years later, after the collapse of the Communist East German government, they moved to Leningrad (soon to be St. Petersburg). Putin then started working for former professor & soon to be mayor of Leningrad,Anatoly Sobchak.

Later, during Russia's violent gang wars, Katerina and her sister were sent to Germany to safety, and were safeguarded by Putin's old friend, Matthias Warnig.
Perhaps due to the babysitting, Warnig was later given a big role in the Nord Stream pipeline project.

Tell @ChrisCuomo that 33 scientists from 14 institutions joined forces to write this paper documenting evidence for #SARS-CoV-2 persistence as a potential driver of #LongCOVID. We call for more clinical trials of drugs capable of clearing persistent virus: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37667052/
2/ We have formed a global #Consortium to study SARS-CoV-2 persistence: to determine if reservoirs of the #virus in LongCOVID tissue can drive widespread dysfunction including clotting, #microbiome, and neuroimmune abnormalities: polybio.org/longcovid

A look at what may actually be happening, with Applied Behaviour Analysis and autistic children.
We get a few people saying, "But it worked for my child!"
Was that a result of ABA?

This is all based on actual experience and actual data.
Here we go:
a) What do they mean by 'works'? Who decided what they were measuring? The child? Autistic specialists? Did it consider genuinely different autistic ways of playing, learning, communicating?/

For example, an ABA team might decide their target is to make a child touch their nose, on command, hundreds of times a day, for a chance to get their loved toy back for a few seconds occasionally.
Yes, the child might do that. A tick in a box. "It works!"

So, is it true that Ukrainian society is polarized, people are afraid of mobilization, and refugees won't return after the war?

In 2014, I was very afraid and I told myself I would not last in the military. In 2022, I said that if I get drafted, I will join and serve as I must. I was still afraid, though.
I didn't volunteer to the army and I didn't even join the government work, but why? 2/

On the first day of the war, it was chaotic and no time to focus, but I have the question of what I should do a solid amount of thought. I tried to identify in my mind a true answer - "where can I serve my country the best?" It is our university - the Kyiv School of Economics 3/
A short thread on a critical piece of infrastructure play that is necessary to decentralize our crypto experiences.

🔗 1/ Decentralization
The heart of crypto lies in decentralization. To achieve true decentralization, we need to go beyond node distribution, and eliminate any centralized vectors within the chain such as validators, storage, sequencers, RPC, and frontends & dApps

RPC is a way for nodes to communicate with each other or with a Virtual Machine. This is basically how DApps and smart contracts are connected to Blockchains.
