Eine Frage in die #Göttingen-Bubble: Hat jemand eine Idee, wo ich mal für 5 Minuten (oder weniger) an eine massive Werkbank mit einem ebenso massiven Schraubstock ran dürfte? Der blöde Schraubkranz will partout nicht von der Uralt-Nabe runter …

Um Dir die Krautschau unterhaltsamer zu machen, nimmt Dir Flora Incognita die oft mühevolle Arbeit des Bestimmens ab und lädt Dich ein, für das Sammeln von Stadtpflanzen Abzeichen zu sammeln! Im Mai zählen dafür eine ganze Menge Arten, die in Pflasterritzen, Mauern oder am Gehweg klein aber fein vor sich hin gedeihen.

In case you missed this Reuters story from a few days ago....

"Several U.S. national security agencies have halted work on a coordinated effort to counter Russian sabotage, disinformation and cyberattacks, easing pressure on Moscow as the Trump Administration pushes Russia to end its war in Ukraine."

"Former President Joe Biden last year ordered his national security team to establish working groups to monitor the issue amid warnings from U.S. intelligence that Russia was escalating a shadow war against Western nations."

"The plan was led by the president's National Security Council (NSC) and involved at least seven national security agencies working with European allies to disrupt plots targeting Europe and the United States, seven former officials who participated in the working groups told Reuters."

Before President Donald Trump was inaugurated, his incoming administration was briefed by Biden officials about the efforts and urged to continue monitoring Russia's hybrid warfare campaign, the former U.S. officials said.

"However, since Trump took office on Jan. 20 much of the work has come to a standstill, according to eleven current and former officials, all of whom requested anonymity to discuss classified matters. Reuters is the first to report on the full extent of the Biden administration effort and how multiple different U.S. agencies have since paused their work on the issue."

"Regular meetings between the National Security Council and European national security officials have gone unscheduled, and the NSC has also stopped formally coordinating efforts across U.S. agencies, including with the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security and the State Department, the current and former officials said."

"Some officials involved in the working groups said they are concerned that the Trump administration is de-prioritizing the issue despite intelligence warnings. The change follows the unwinding of other Russia-focused projects launched by Biden’s administration."

"The FBI last month ended an effort to counter interference in U.S. elections by foreign adversaries including Russia and put on leave staff working on the issue at the Department of Homeland Security. The Department of Justice also disbanded a team that seized the assets of Russian oligarchs."

Elon Musk just raided America's doomsday seed vault.

Yes, you read that right. The vault meant to protect humanity’s last defense against agricultural collapse, stripped and sabotaged.

This isn't hyperbole. The seed bunker held our future. Our protection from famine, disease, climate disasters, destroyed by reckless arrogance.

Elon Musk fired critical scientists, placing centuries of agricultural heritage at immediate risk.

America relied on those seeds. America relied on those scientists. America relied on that bunker.

62,000 unique wheat strains, 600,000 genetic lines, our lifeline in a crisis, now endangered.

Without regular care, these seeds die. Without these seeds, we lose our ability to respond to threats.

Without that ability, we lose food security itself.

This is a direct assault on humanity's survival.

Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) treated our collective security as disposable, gambling with millions of lives. Farmers, families, and children. Everyone is harmed.

If you're thinking someone else will handle this, you're wrong. If you're assuming private industry will step in, you're wrong.

If you're comfortable waiting to act, you're complicit.

Apathy won't fix this, waiting won't reverse it.

You must immediately demand:
- Full reinstatement of the fired scientists.
- Secured federal funding protecting the seed vault permanently.
- Legislative safeguards ensuring this can never happen again.

Call your representatives. Share this message. Demand accountability from Musk, DOGE, and our government.

Act now, because your future depends on it. Your children's survival, planet's stability, and the nation's integrity are at stake.

It is urgent, necessary, and morally essential.

Stand up, speak out, and fight for our shared future.
