there was a new study published today in Nature showing that state-level anti-trans laws increase suicide among trans kids up to 72%. when we say that the New York Times (and other rags of equal repute) is killing us, that's because IT IS LITERALLY KILLING US

I know there's a lot going on, but the Secretary of Homeland Security declaring that federal troops are in California and Los Angeles to "liberate" the state and city from its duly-elected leaders really is a fourteen-alarm fire.

We’re at war with Iran, Trump’s gone into hiding, nobody will tell us our objectives, plan or end game, our Sec of Defense is a useless dipshit, our Sec of State lied about it, our DNI loves the leader of Iran’s greatest ally, & tomorrow we’re having a parade for Trump’s bday.

Danielle Smith’s decision to severely limit and charge for the COVID-19 vaccine going forward is not only betraying Albertans, but actively working against their best interests. “I no longer listen to what people say. I just watch what they do. Behavior never lies.” - Churchill #abpoli #cdnpoli

Most Albertans, including healthcare workers, will now have to pay to get a COVID vaccine. Danielle Smith promised Albertans would never have to pay out of pocket for the medical treatment they need. She lied. Such a cruel, dangerous, anti-science, anti-public health decision. Make it make sense.

If you’re participating in No Kings this weekend, document everything. Upload to social media, but store in another more secure place. Keep a hard copy. Back it up. Tell your story. Write down atrocities by hand if you can. Keep it somewhere safe. Future generations are counting on us.

You sent them to school unprotected. You insisted on in-person education without mitigations. You did not fight for ventilation or filtration. You believed kids were magically immune to damage. Now, this. And it's going to get worse if we don't fix this... www.cbsnews.com/video/millio...

Let me see if I’m understanding this. Biking is physically challenging and scary, so we shouldn’t bother building a bike network that would at least partially solve those issues? Did I understand correctly?

Fillmore is a coward. Saying what he feels he needs to say to impress the right people at the right time. An opportunist. A follower. Does he stand for anything? Does he believe in anything? You can't trust anything this man says.

Masks work! Respirators work even better! We’re entering another COVID wave, and the new Nimbus variant seems to have increased transmissibility. Wear a mask to protect yourself, your loved ones and your community. If you can’t afford them, a mask bloc can help!

Nimbus Covid variant (nicknamed “razor blade throat”) is widespread in the US China reported a doubling in hospitalized cases, and there are anecdotal reports on social media that some doctors have died & they’re seeing pneumonia again It’s difficult to verify, but an excellent reason to mask up!

The National Post is significantly editing Canadian Press copy, without notifying the reader, to push a Zionist perspective and to portray Palestinians as terrorists. It's completely unethical and a breach of basic journalism standards. A new low for The National Post.

I’m hearing rumors that thousands of people are calling the ICE tip line to report little green men and other aliens from outer space. That’s not why ICE set up this number, so you should absolutely NOT call that tip line to report those types of aliens. 👽 I repeat—do NOT call the below number! ☎️
