"I would say to every Canadian who is listening to this: You should be looking up the voting records of whoever you're voting for in the upcoming election & see how they have voted on bills related to reproductive rights," #GoVote #NeverVoteConservative #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Same in Canada I’m sure.

This. Is. Madness.

Is it banana republic time yet?

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

I really prefer my Atwood in the fiction aisle.

Me when meetings get cancelled.....

Trust the Brits for displays of repressed rage, but I'm on board!

So in the last 24 h, I've had three manuscript submissions rejected. Ooof! Wanted to share b/c we are always enthusiastic to share successes, but everyone has rejections as well–Time to reconsider, revise and resubmit!

indulgence for criminals and thieves but if you touch president elon's prescious car dealerships the full force of the federal government will be arrayed against you. tyrant shit

BERNIE BERNIE BERNIE. Go Bernie Sanders. GO!

Washington’s top education leader says he won’t sign the U.S. Department of Education’s recent letter ordering K-12 schools to certify they’re in compliance with federal civil rights laws and are halting any “illegal” diversity, equity, and inclusion programs.

University of Chicago international students now targeted. @indivisiblechicago.bsky.social @50501movement.bsky.social @aclu.org

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

Catherine McKenna 🇨🇦 - "I did take every question from Poilievre in Question Period many days where he mocked climate action. His condescending, snide, arrogant nature is nothing new. It was brutal then but way worse for an aspiring Prime Minister. We need an adult focused on Canadians.> #cdnpoli

Instead of believing the myth that three expensive, genetically modified wolves are “de-extinct” dire wolves, let’s look at animals humanity has actually brought back from the brink of extinction using proven science and dedicated hard work: 🧵/6

It’s been a full week, and not a single penguin has backed down or sold out. Could there be a lesson here for America’s law firms and universities?

Well done Ontario. If you, as a parent, choose not to protect others through this social contract called vaccination, then home school your kid and keep them out of swimming lessons, summer camps, etc. Choices have consequences.

There's a lot of talk about inspiring future STEM workers, including girls, at Jared Isaacman's hearing today to be the next NASA administrator. That will be harder to accomplish since NASA has recently demolished many initiatives to bring underrepresented groups into science.

RFK Jr. told me he would "address drivers of maternal mortality.” But he just fired the researchers that work to improve the health of mothers and babies.

Pay attention.

We Should All Be Very, Very Afraid. Lawrence Tribe and Erwin Chemerinsky. If Trump does nothing in the face of a court order to return a wrongfully held man in El Salvador and forces individual habeus corpus hearings in TX, are we ready to consider arresting him? This is unlawful and flagrant.

I'd rather be over prepared - than caught with my pants down while on the shitter. This article is a must read (I'm not the writer). Maybe - we can get enough people involved - so Trump becomes hesitant. If he blinks, we'll have more time to become organized. medium.com/@aletheisthe...

This new White House executive order says that the US Attorney General is going to prevent states from implementing democratically passed laws regarding climate change and clean energy. It scarcely needs stating at this point that this is wildly, unambiguously unconstitutional. Dictator shit.

Trump has now officially wiped out an entire YEAR of economic gains in four days. But hey, egg prices right?

FACT CHECK: Canada Proud is run by Jeff Ballingall. These aren’t grassroots movements — they’re well-funded propaganda pipelines built to smear opponents and flood your feed with rage bait and falsehoods. They’re part of the same operation Poilievre’s team has brought on to run digital comms.
