All knowledge relevant to the existence of the Homo family must be re-evaluated. The time of reassessing all values, the great era of redefining all concepts has begun.

I stand strong with the civil servants at @NIH who are not only doing science but defending science by demanding that the administration not abandon lifesaving research mandated by law. Putting NIH research on hold puts people’s lives at risk.

Trump’s adamant claim that he has a mandate to dismantle everything from birthright citizenship to Due Process to Medicaid to the professional civil service is farcical.
He campaigned on lowering the cost of eggs and electricity. If he has a slim mandate, that’s what it is. No mandate to trash the Constitution or Medicaid.
@PasiMajuri Kauanko kesti kun suhteet Saksaan natsi-saksan romahtamisen jälkeen "normalisoitiin"? Se oli omanlaisensa prosessi. Jotain vastaavaa on tehtävä myös Venäjän suhteen. Pysyvää rauhaa ei tule ellei Venäjäst tule normaali maa.
Trump armahti 6.1. 2021 vallankaappausyritykseen osallistuneet. Tämä on häpeällistä Yhdysvaltain oikeusjärjestelmälle ja #demokratia:lle. Erityisen väärin tämä on 174 tuolloin loukkaantunutta poliisia kohtaan - neljä teki itsemurhan. Väkivaltaisuuksissa kuoli viisi ihmistä. 1/🧵
Intian vaalit varmistumassa torjuntavoitoksi. Tärkeä asia maailmalle. Ehkä Intia "saattaa alkaa hitaan paluun kohti moniarvoisempaa demokraattista puoluejärjestelmää". Maalla on ehdottomasti on valtava potentiaali, toisaalta koko maailma on menossa kohti mullistuksia.
In March and April, our very own @JMKuukkanen, @GanglGeorg , and @227_sm will teach an introductory course on philosophy of history @Unioulu. The course is open for all students, and those interested should register on Peppi. More information on the gorgeous poster below!
Russia: Elderly woman in downtown Moscow bravely called for an uprising against Putin in the aftermath of the Kremlin's murder of Alexei Navalny and mass arrests of mourners throughout the nation.
Opposition leaders tortured and killed
Journalists imprisoned and killed for reporting the news
Hundreds and thousands of young men are being sent to die in the war against Ukraine.
No freedom of speech. It's illegal to protest against the corrupt regime
But hey, at least the Moscow subway station is nice, and the groceries in Russia are cheaper than in the US (As the median household income in Russia is 1/9 of what it is in the US)
Before Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the U.S. threatened Russia with a devastating but unspecified response. Russia invaded. Afraid of escalating, the US didn’t follow through
Later, the U.S. threatened Russia with a devastating but unspecified response if Navalny dies 1/
Polish PM Donald Tusk, in his first major speech:
"By some strange coincidence, politicians who attack the foundations of democracy are anti-Ukrainian. Only a united west can help Ukraine win in the fight for democratic values"

I met with President @Niinisto to thank Finland for 21 packages of defense aid for our warriors, as well as for doubling artillery ammunition production in Finland.
Such steps are critical not only for our freedom but also for the freedom of other European countries, particularly those that share a border with Russia. The European security environment has fundamentally changed, and we can only protect our shared freedom by acting together and with long-term commitment.
We also talked about the Peace Formula and how to achieve a just and lasting peace in Ukraine, throughout Europe, and beyond.
"We are willing to work collectively, internationally, together, to learn from history – and to do a proper job of it.”
