Trump’s HHS is canceling a contract to develop an mRNA bird flu vaccine, even as the disease continues to spread through dairy cows across the U.S. Make no mistake: delaying the development of this vaccine puts people’s lives at risk.

In plain sight:

This is a must-read: The Trump administration's use of anti-semitism to attack immigrants and higher education mirrors plans by a group of Christian nationalists in the Heritage Foundation (which produced Project 2025). 🧵 www.nytimes.com/2025/05/18/u...

Let's see if Ford gets the memo. #Ontariobudget

If you look at the top-down view (I can't find the video, just this picture), it was a deliberate hit to the neck of Stolarz. I'm no Leafs fan, but this is outrageous. Stolarz could have been killed. Bennet should be suspended.

Danielle Smith is playing fast and loose with the future of the country. It seems like a long shot that Alberta would vote to leave, but who knows what happens once you start down this path. It’s a live-ammo outing now. Utter insanity.

I was on CTV news this weekend talking about the launch of our new wildfire campaign – Signed, Seared, Delivered. Have a quick watch (and then please help us spread the word): www.ctvnews.ca/video/2025/0...

During OCDSB meeting on April 8th, 2025, Trustee Nili Kaplan-Myrth stated that the mere sight of the Keffiyeh, worn by a presenter, was “an act of aggression.” Write to the Ottawa Carleton District School Board (OCDSB) buff.ly/29249Y3

Thanks to @meidastouch.bsky.social for sharing stories of the resistance on both sides of the border. #elbowsup

Families in #Gaza are desperate for #water. You can help them. My friend's father has a well. He gives water for free to families around him, but needs $$ for fuel so he can run the pump. You can help. Donate any amount, please: bit.ly/fund-gaza-well

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Are you a progressive voter struggling with if & how to vote strategically in 🇨🇦's federal election? Here's a 🧵 with 4 tips...

Why is a strategic voting site pushing the 3rd Place Liberals to 'stop Conservatives' 16 points back in 4th place? What are we doing here, folks?

Thanks to @desmog.bsky.social's @manderson98.bsky.social for this piece with my recommendations for how to apply wartime-scale lessons to the crises of today: www.desmog.com/2025/04/08/c...

A GOP-controlled state appeals court ruled last week that over 65,000 lawful votes cast in North Carolina's Supreme Court race can be thrown out — potentially handing the race to the Republican candidate. This is what stealing an election actually looks like.

There is no conceivable justification for destroying a desalination plant. The only reason to do it is to commit genocide. That has been Israel’s goal from the beginning.

Here is the top comment on this article: “You are advising responsible honest people who have worked hard, saved all their lives… to scale down their retirement dreams because a one person has decided to destroy the US economy. Why not write an article about how to get rid of the real problem?”

This is what the Israelis and their apologists call a targeted, anti-terror campaign. This is Rafah today.

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

- Rumeysa Öztürk has never been charged with a crime. - Mahmoud Khalil has never been charged with a crime. - Momodou Taal has never been charged with a crime. - Badar Khan Suri has never been charged with a crime.

A slide about the death toll in Gaza “could be perceived as antisemitic.”

I will join Ian Hanomansing on CBC Radio’s Cross Country CheckUp at 4pm EDT to discuss the latest twists and turns from Donald Trump: What comes next and how can Canada respond? I look forward to your calls!! #cdnecon #cdnpoli #canlab

Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk being detained by ice Via @bedford.bsky.social

Tucson, Arizona today. Original projected attendance was 3,000 people. 23,000 showed up.

powerful detailed account of ICE captivity "To put things into perspective: I had a Canadian passport, lawyers, resources, media attention, friends, family and even politicians advocating for me...Imagine what this system is like for every other person in there" www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The UK has reverted to its Neville Chamberlain era. Pathetic.

Justin is trolling Trump by calling him "Donald". Echoes of Zelensky calling Vance JD.

After He Ran a Cartoon on the War in Gaza, Gannett Fired Him - The New York Times As ever, the biggest victims of ‘cancel culture’ in the US are always pro-Palestine voices! (Btw Mr Doris is Jewish and says he is a supporter of Israel.)

Not available to stream in Canada either.

"No Other Land," the Palestinian-Israeli made film showing the destruction of the occupied West Bank's Masafer Yatta by Israeli soldiers, just won the Oscar for Best Documentary. It can't get a distributor in the US. Which tells you everything about censorship in the US.
