In perhaps the most eerie parallel yet between the US in 2025 and 1930s-era Germany, the Trump administration has severed the subscriptions of several government agencies to journals owned by Springer Nature, one of the world’s most successful and prestigious scientific publishing groups.

“I don’t think the way this is going is right,” the veteran said. “I do believe in a better system. I believe that people like my dad, like my mom, like any parent or close family member of any law enforcement officer or military member, I think they should have a way easier and better access to a legal status.”

Not a strong stance.

I wonder how many social media accounts someone can create?

Here is the organization putting it on: https://marchtogaza.net/

It seems like federation largely allows you both to have it your own way. Some instances are growth focused and others are culture focused (beehaw comes to mind).

My goal is to chip in where I can to make Lemmy a nice place. Eventually there will be another exodus of corpo socials and we will see a sudden influx.

The article has several people quoted that didn’t know the islands are french. I was attempting to play on that but my attempt clearly didn’t land well.
