There's always a purge after a coup. That's how it works. It's in the dictator playbook. Next comes the arrest and imprisonment of dissidents.

Team Canada won the 4 Nations Face-Off hockey showdown and there were celebrations across the country. But it meant something special in Nova Scotia, because three of the team's top players hail from that province. #NovaScotia www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

I am begging Nova Scotians to read today’s Halifax Examiner Morning File. “It’s the biggest electoral bait-and-switch con in Nova Scotia’s electoral history. You voted to fix health care, and Houston takes office and burns down Province House.” #nspoli

Besties, the @halifaxexaminer.ca Morning File is free, but there's also a lot of good reporting behind their paywall. If you live here and don't have a subscription yet: please consider one! There are shenanigans afoot we all need to know about.

This story - the Nova Scotia government's attack on the auditor general - should not be downplayed. It is no exaggeration to say that this is an assault on democracy.

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors. I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.

Not only were all childhood vaccines studied more rigorously than nearly any other medical therapeutic before ending up on the vaccine schedule, we also have years of data on BILLIONS of administrations since. No other medical interventions have been tested as rigorously as childhood vaccines have.

It "poses risks to the integrity of our democratic system of government,” but it's not clear if it can be challenged in the courts. Just cause is required before an auditor general can be fired in the provinces of B.C., Sask., Manitoba, Ont., N.B., PEI, and Newfoundland and Labrador.

Scientists of the world, this is happening on our watch and we need to face it down. Evidence-based medicine weaponised for overtly ideological purposes. We do not need randomised trials of 'vaccine' versus 'no vaccine' when those vaccines have already been shown to be safe & effective. #episky 🧪

This is a five-alarm, call-your-MLA fire. The Auditor General is the only one holding the Houston government to account, and who warned us that it had spent billions outside the normal process. #nspoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Please, God, guard my heart from hatred masquerading as righteous anger. Help me to know how to react like You do to injustice -- with anger that does not become contempt, bitterness, vindictiveness, or enmity. Because my human anger does not produce the justice that You desire.

Note here that Trump describes Ukraine as a “demolition site”. Just as he described Gaza. One he wants to steal for real estate, the other he wants to plunder for its minerals. Trump is an international parasite; a vulture exploiting the trauma of others. How has the US been reduced to this?

So disgusting. The Trump administration is not only interfering in foreign justice systems, it is supporting far-right misogynists charged with human trafficking of minors and rape. Sure Christian values, etc.

NY City Council speaker Adrienne Adams: "With the resignation of deputy mayors, it has become clear that Mayor Adams has now lost the confidence and trust of his own staff, his colleagues in government, and New Yorkers. He now must prioritize New York City and New Yorkers, step aside and resign."

I spent today trying to encapsulate how I felt about the Trump administration's concerted campaign to remove transgender people from existence across the federal bureaucracy, what may be coming next and what steps if any can be taken to push back. I'll be updating this regularly.
