At the G7 conference, Carney wants to counter foreign interference and transnational crime, yet invites Modi who arranged the assassination of a Canadian citizen & is linked to organised crime & murders. Modi has also regularly attacked Muslims in India. nationalnewswatch.com/2025/06/07/c...

Looking forward to seeing Canadian media give the candidates in the Battle River-Crowfoot federal by-election equal media coverage when it’s called, cause that would only be fair and balanced in a democracy, right?

As long as women and girls who give birth outside of "societally approved" situations are viewed as "less than", babies and children are in danger of being trafficked to white saviours. And "Christian" saviours. We are not puppies.

Is it really just to serve his ego? I would LOVE to be wrong. Can't wait to see footage of them returning.

Ford's tourism ad says save Ontario by visiting a brewery or winery It's always about booze with this fuck

🎯 This is exactly why governments (ahem #Ontario) are so interested in defunding #PublicEducation. #OntEd

Is it just me or is this administration all up for killing kids? Starving children in Gaza. Cancelling childhood cancer research. Ending vaccine access. Shuttering school meal programs. Now this. The cruelty is breathtakingly intentional.

Whooping Cough. Measles. Tuberculosis. Polio. All turning up again. People need to stroll through their local boneyard & take a look at the stones and be reminded of what came before. We are so stupid. History will not be kind. #vaccinessavelives

🚨NEW ORCHARDCAST🚨 @jennyyeremiy.bsky.social joins me to discuss Alberta’s environmental liabilities timebomb and how Carney’s plan for a new pipeline will only make matters worse. open.substack.com/pub/theorcha...

NEW: There's no sugarcoating it. The Liberals' proposed Strong Borders Act represents a total betrayal of voters who elected Carney to stand up to Trump. www.readtheorchard.org/p/carney-ben...

A man who said “don’t take medical advice from me” decided eligibility re vaccines for Covid overriding advice and now leading to a resignation in protest

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

On the impact of masks in schools during Covid in 2022 "We further estimate that the removal of mandates during this time contributed to 21,800 COVID deaths through the rest of 2022, 9% of the U.S. total that year." www.nber.org/papers/w33849

Oh my goodness - this is incredible. I’m always cautious about using the term “breakthrough” but this could be a real game-changer - forcing blood cells to reveal that they are infected with HIV. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

"Knowledge is power when it is wisely used to shape public health policy. The measles vaccines have saved around 94 million lives over the past 50 years." @science.org www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Tonight is the eve of Eid al-Adha which is colloquially called the Big Eid. The ‘small’ one being the one that follows Ramadan (Eid al-Fitr). Thinking of the poor, hungry and terrified on this night. Those who can’t celebrate. Stop the war. Stop supporting it. Stop the indifference about it.

"We can react by seeing all of this for what it is, and naming it by name: incipient state terror. We can react by associating ourselves with others who are repressed before we are. Only in solidarity do we affirm law."

Great piece, and I am proud that the activist group I've devoted the most time to over the years was based on this idea: law students' ability to withhold their labor from corporate firms. Check out @lsca.bsky.social people!

Men in military gear refused to show a warrant or identify themselves to the owner of the business. They implied they were arresting the gardener for drunk driving. He doesn't know how to drive. I miss reading about ticks & beavers in the Berkshire news. theberkshireedge.com/stalked-and-...

Some quotes lose their magic with repetition but this one by Maya Angelou remains ever green: "When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time. People know themselves much better than you do. That's why it's important to stop expecting them to be something other than who they are"

"Our export footprint is significantly larger than our domestic emissions. And this really needs to be recognised as part of our sphere of responsibility." -always should have been. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

Elon Musk owns the president. He bought he presidency and he owns the president. Our democracy is for sale. And it’s a global crisis.

It’s very easy to buck the mainstream of academia/science when you’ve got a buttload of right-wing/corporate money backing you. Doesn’t make you Galileo. It makes you a shill.

Unpopular perspective: RFK Jr who is a ghoul and an ableist asshat is correct to call into question efficacy and safety of novel mRNA vaccine delivery models. It’s still a work in progress. Dominant view is to act as if we have all the assurances we need. We. Do. Not.

“In another development, the Campaign Finance Board said it is continuing to investigate alleged improper coordination between Cuomo’s mayoral campaign and the Fix the City super PAC.”

As another professor of Holocaust and genocide studies, Raz Segal, put it: “Can I name someone whose work I respect who doesn’t think it’s genocide? No.

Covid vaccines help reduce severity but they don’t meaningfully prevent infection or long covid. Covid is EXTREMELY harmful even when ur vaxxed, so if ur mad abt this u should also be infuriated at Biden for dismantling masking etc. RFK sucks but Dems ushered in the dismantling of Covid protections

Possibly more confounding than voters who rank Cuomo first are the ones who’d rank him second. I mean, if you’re not all in on the whole arrogant groper thing, or you’re not a low-info voter going on name recognition, what makes you say, “Cuomo’s not my top choice, but he’d be OK?” #DontRankCuomo
