Gutted to see our national science organisation keep losing talented scientists & expertise built up over decades. A further 86 FTE positions cut in the lead up to Christmas, is devastating for those impacted, our community + sovereign capability. Short-term thinking at its worst. We need to ⬆️ our scientific capacity & R&D spend to confront the challenges facing us. canberratimes.com.au/story/9… Join me in calling for the government to save our CSIRO: davidpocock.com.au/save_our_…

Elon Musk’s Starlink scandal has undermined the U.S. space industry and the country’s diplomatic and intelligence partnerships, say lawmakers, foreign officials, and former senior members of the U.S. military. My latest for @DefenseOne (link below)

In the last 24 hours alone I've seen 5-6 Trump stories that would have gotten Obama removed from office. Mainstream media is in the tank for this administration.

So, the Melania Trump brokered ceasefire is just a means for Russia to kidnap 1500 people, not allowed to go to Ukraine, only Russia.
🚨 FT: Residents of occupied Oleshky seeking evacuation would be taken to Crimea or Russia instead of Ukrainian-controlled territory just across the Dnipro River. This is a terrifying warning sign. Russia is preparing to turn an evacuation into a deportation operation. It will exploit people’s desperation for a propaganda stunt, put them through filtration camps, and forcibly keep them under Russian occupation, where they would remain in grave danger.

I should also point out that we cannot fix this soon enough — the number of patients catching COVID and other infections in hospitals is growing. teapawt.org/lynefiliatraul2/status…
Replying to @LyneFiliatraul2
Then I'd suggest educating @IPACCanada @PICNetBC & BC PHO so that we deal with airborne transmission of #flu, #Covid & #RSV in healthcare to both prevent harm to in hospital patients and preserve hospital bed capacity for surgeries, strokes, sepsis, MIs, traumas, etc.

One of my relatives caught Covid while in hospital for routine care — and he died in the hospital’s ICU two weeks later. I’ll never forgive or forget the agony he suffered. Reading this post reminds me that the grave injustice continues.
The NHS needs effective IPC+PPE 😷 NHS Doctor: [coughs] I don't know what I've got... Whether it's flu, COVID... I can't call in sick... I'll be honest with you, I just can't. I can't do it, I can't do it. The people need me, the people need me, okay? They need me, they need me.

It's now US Congress against a terror cabal of Musk, Putin and Trump.
I’m sending a sledgehammer message to shipping companies whose tankers are transporting illegal Russian diesel to our ports. Reverse course while there’s still time.

Our Capri suddenly became very unwell, and after evaluating her, the vets made the critical decision to perform emergency surgery. Surgery revealed GDV—a life-threatening condition where the stomach twists and blocks blood flow. Her procedure went safely under gas anesthesia, and she remains under close post-op observation. We’ll update as soon as she stabilises. Please keep Capri in your prayers 🙏🏼

Q: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sexual abuse allegations. T: Quiet! Isn’t she a fresh person? You are a horrible little reporter, aren’t you? This is exactly what you would expect a rapist to say.

If you don’t have time to read the excellent NYker piece on Musk here’s the cliff notes: Elon cut off Starlink during a battle because he was afraid of hurting Russian troops and wanted to placate Putin whom he very much admires and wants to help.’ He’s a traitor. @elonmusk
