An injury to one is an injury to all. This has been a labour slogan for centuries. We need more leaders like David Huerta following this principle.

Summary: Immigrants are people and that should be enough. Focusing on their utility and what they do for us as opposed to their humanity feeds into the idea that people's value is wrapped up in their usefulness. Stop talking about immigrants' usefulness to you. Talk about their humanity.

Danielle Smith had a whole conversation with a naturopath about the importance of prevention, but her govt is going to charge Albertans $100+ to prevent COVID. FYI - cost of a hospital admission is $1000/day. Anti-vax right wing govts are going to make everyone sick and bankrupt health care.

It very much feels like Canadians have inadvertently elected a coalition government: Liberal ministers, Conservative policies. Unity!

Best gardening time: evening. Dhani Harrison on his father George: "He'd garden at night-time until midnight. He'd be out there squinting because he could see, at midnight, the moonlight & shadows, & that was his way of not seeing the weeds or imperfections that would plague him during the day."

"The safety of neighbors is more important than any one soccer tournament." This is quite the statement from the Seattle Reign about the upcoming Club World Cup. It's also an indication of what's to come with the 2026 World Cup matches to be held in the US.

I cannot for the life of me remember who said this but something I heard the other day that may be useful for some of you right now is that “solidarity is situational”. You do not need to like Gavin Newsom to understand why he is useful in this particular moment.

The world seems overwhelming right now. The Air India crash feels overwhelming, too. And then I think of Dr. Patel's one-year-old. She was this baby's world. 💔

Hey, a representative sample of Canadians put Trump just above Putin in net favourability. Seems about right.

Our family is having to deal with this phenomenon too, at least it hasn’t entered very dangerous territory yet. But there are big problems that could be resolved if at least the LLMs stopped being so accommodating to a person’s delusions.

“Recommendations should be based on science, not ideology or politics. Vaccines are not supposed to be political,” she said. ...“I am increasingly spending more time trying to counsel on things that used to be basic,” she said. That includes talking to some families about why tetanus is a concern"

I had to trim one of my monster hostas so an A/C tech (lovely fella) could get in to fix our unit this morning. This is one of my Olive Bailey Langdon leaves held beside very large Siberian iris flowers for scale. I love hostas so much. This leaf is 15" by 15" (38 cm x 38 cm) & oh, the texture.

Or, to quote Reg Whitaker's 1977 chapter “Images of the state in Canada”: "The basic engine of development in Canada was to be private enterprise, but it was to be private enterprise at public expense. That is the unique national feature of our Tory tradition.”

So in America we're forcing women to have babies only to subject those babies to completely preventable diseases and the risk of death? Do I have that right? That's what we're doing now? I don't know. Seems cruel. Sadistic even.

Donald Trump has warned Iran of 'even more brutal' attacks to come following the Israeli military strikes, as he called on Tehran to 'make a deal' over its nuclear programme 'before there is nothing left'. https://on.ft.com/3ZxdesO

Not "preemptive." Illegal. There is no evidence of an actual or imminent armed attack by Iran. This is a blatant violation of the UN Charter. It has no legal basis in the right of self-defense. Now we wait to see how many civilians will die because of this insanity.

The quote below doesn't capture his whole shaming of Trump. He stopped inches short of calling Trump a loser. Trump is going to lose what's left of his mind.

Newsom: "He's been a stone cold liar about what he said we talked about. He never discussed the National Guard. Period. Full stop. I would love to share with you what he actually talked about. It would send shivers up your spine."

Is it a problem that the Army Secretary (who is also acting ATF director!?) doesn’t appear to know the difference between the International Space Station and … the Moon!?
