Fired federal workers share the crucial jobs no longer being done Six people describe what they were doing to benefit public health, safety and the environment www.sciencenews.org/article/fire...

It is happening, yay!! Minister Anita Anand informed the provinces Friday that Ottawa will remove more than half of federal internal trade barriers in a move to make Canada less reliant on the US, according to a senior federal government source. #Canada #cdnpoli 🍁 www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Federal workers launch a new site to share inside information about DOGE

On Wednesday I was the first to report Leland Dudek was on the verge of losing his job at the Social Security Administration when he was suddenly promoted to acting commissioner by Elon Musk. Thursday I published a story with more details. I’ll let you guess if I got any credit in this Post story:

You can be intelligent, hardworking, talented, and much, much more, but often it doesn’t matter. Like many pyramid schemes, the people at the top sometimes don’t even do any work. They profit off the people below them who do work. www.halifaxexaminer.ca/morning-file...

Okay, it's late. Tonight's inventory selections. Today's feature was a pair of works, necklace and cuff [shown below]. So tonight, it's another necklace and cuff that, like the featured works, were created entirely independently but seem to belong together.

So excited

Just a reminder that the HPV vaccine literally PREVENTS CANCER and the series can be started as early as 9 years of age.

@ianhanomansing.bsky.social & the CBC: Who is making you think this is the most responsible way to address a threat to Canada’s existence as we know it? Why are you not instead doing a show on the reality of what that might mean and all the reasons we DON’T want to be 51? My dudes 🤦🏼‍♀️.

Virginia representative (where NSF HQ sits) takes NSF to task for "unilaterally stripping permanent status from both union and non-union workers, including executives, without notification." www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

This is the pressconference on release of the Russia report... Maybe PM Starmer will release the full, unredacted report? #RussiaReport www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMCm...

I fucked up someone’s pronouns yesterday (no excuse, I fucked up) and a poster kindly reminded me of the correct ones. Listen. You can correct me on that anytime. Correct me on my birthday. Correct me on my deathbed. Because despite what terrible people say, your identity MATTERS.

The RCMP are still silent on this file and its a disgrace. kitchener.citynews.ca/2025/01/27/o...

I just realized today is my 1 year anniversary of moving to Puerto Rico 🎉 I tried multiple times in 15 years to move here, but this time it worked. I left behind an abusive relationship and a city I hated. I moved to a town where at least 8 generations of my ancestors were born.

“Are you going to mask forever?” I don’t know… are you planning to spread Covid forever? Masking keeps people healthy. It’s necessary because as a society we’ve refused to do anything to reduce airborne spread. It protects the wearer and those around them. Easy choice!

My downstairs neighbours have both suddenly developed powerful coughs and have been staying home (instead of working) for the last couple days. So yes, I will continue to mask because who wants whatever that is.

I am a very proud monthly donor to the Palmetto State Abortion Fund. They are doing absolutely vital work in difficult circumstances, and every dollar you send goes to helping people access crucial abortion care. Funds like these and heroes like these are the front line for our freedom.

Btw if y’all wanna know how invisible Disabled people are made, it’s not called DEI it’s called DEIA. The A stands for Accessibility. And it was left out before DEI was even removed.

DITCH HIM 🇨🇦🇺🇸

Ontario's top bureaucrat is admonishing PC Leader Doug Ford and his staff for allegedly trying to use his Washington D.C. trip last week to the party's advantage in the election campaign.

Cuts to NSF expected to be at 50% reduction in force for an independent agency that fuels discovery and innovation. "The NSF budget was $9B, or 0.13% of the total [budget]." This is not about fiscal prudence. This is about killing universities. nanoscale.blogspot.com/2025/02/the-...

Spoiler: The glue is failing in freezing weather. Because they used glue on the Cybertruck.

Protestors gathered in New York against the autogenocide being committed by US healthcare corporations and in support of a fair trial for Luigi and justice for millions of people killed to boost corporate profits. #3E #EndAutogenocide #Feb21 (📷 ‪ @oscarthinks.bsky.social & @miasato.bsky.social ‬)

I've been building and installing Corsi-Rosenthal boxes since the southern California wildfires were really bad a few weeks back and they've made a huge difference in my indoor air quality. Really highly recommend, should have done this years ago

It's pretty cool that Eater put together resources for restaurants about how to handle ICE raids

Fellow veterans, former coworkers, former clients, my kid's best friend's dad, childhood friends, the girl that sat next to me during driver's ed...all federal employees - dedicated civil servants - all lost their jobs over the past 10 days at the whim of the richest man in the world.

WIRED health & biotech writer here. If you're a USDA employee working on the government's response to the H5N1 bird flu outbreak and would like to speak securely about what's happening at the agency, please reach out to me on Signal at emullin.06. I can honor requests for anonymity.

Wise man…

I don't believe in Hell, but if I did I would die happy knowing there was a special seating section for anyone currently railing against "the sin of empathy," and every one of those seats is made with hot rusty barbs

Not sure if this is of interest to anyone but applied the IDEA model to Canada’s 2025 measles outbreak (mostly southern Ontario, but some cases in Quebec…not broken down on the PHAC website) and we look like we’re past peak, expect outbreak over mid March 2025

Hearing multiple reports that members of the current ACIP were fired. I hate it when my predictions come true. bsky.app/profile/dave...

that Trumpers think the US Postal *SERVICE* should be a profit-making enterprise exposes the fallacy in their conception of government
