Additionally, please share this with people whose kids are in the NB school system. It’s time for accountability regarding the air people breathe in schools. They HAVE to be there. They have no choice. Kids are there all day; for workers it is their workplace. They have a right to clean air! #nbpoli

Last month, EECD released the results of air quality testing from the 2023 - 2024 school year. Data was again presented as a PDF chart, making analysis difficult. I used their data to create visuals and a report, of sorts. You can read the full report here (PDF on OneDrive): buff.ly/msa9XeV

If it's illegal to sleep on the streets, then it should be illegal to allow anyone to be unhoused, & everyone needs to have housing unconditionally, which our society has more than the resources for if they were not hoarded.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen something so simultaneously absurd and disturbing: the House will vote Monday on a bill that would punish Americans for participating in boycotts of Israel with fines of up to $1 MILLION or prison terms up to TWENTY YEARS.

There are many people, including children, that have been excluded from society because they are in a group that is known to be more at risk of serious outcomes from COVID-19. Instead of providing safer places and people to interact with, they are mocked and excluded further.

Pierre Poilievre is living in a 19 room mansion with a $215,090 annual budget for his chef and groundskeepers. It is paid by the taxpayer for “Leader of the Opposition IN the House of Commons”. Pierre is freeloading on the taxpayer's dime. #stornowaysquatter #packtheshack

Catholic Cardinal says the next pope must move against homosexuals because church doctrine has to be based on what Jesus said. Only problem? Jesus never said one single word about homosexuality. Or abortion. www.joemygod.com/2025/04/card...

My exhaustion mantra. Where I can’t create inspiration I’ll create gratitude for what I’m blessed to witness. Where I can’t create words I’ll create space to listen to voices that need acknowledging and connection. Where I can’t create peace I’ll be disciplined in my hope for others to find it.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: Was just passed this from a fellow service academy grad. A Coast Guard Academy graduate posted this. They are reporting that ICE entered base housing and took a USCG spouse. I can’t confirm this but I’m calling for answers from the Coast Guard and Congress. This is unacceptable.

We just published a new study on COVID-19 in Ontario, and it turns out, the way we measured cases may have been way off. Why? Because testing wasn’t equal across age and sex groups. That skews what we think we know. In epi-speak this is called “ascertainment bias”. Here's what we found:

Trump will reportedly end the IRS Direct File program that allowed taxpayers to file taxes for free. This comes after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government for years to block IRS free file. Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration. See how this works?

Not all “Hands Off” events were in-person. I attended two virtual events centering chronically ill and disabled people for @motherjones.com, who are terrified about attacks to Medicaid, Section 504, research funding, education and more. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

ICYMI: From March 23rd, protestors from both sides of the US and Canada border held a protest against the Trump regime. This is what the US oligarch media isn't showing you. The protests grow bigger every month. #3E #Handsoff #FiftyFiftyOne

Just to give you a sense of the political breadth of today’s #HandsOff event in DC today, I would like to note that there were people carrying the flag of Greenland there today.

I just keep think about @nkalamb.bsky.social's experience. You were very fortunate to be in a Canadian airport when they turned you around. You could still be in an ICE detention prison. 😳😬
