Edith Monture was born when Sir John A. Macdonald was prime minister. She died when Jean Chretien was Prime Minister. In between, she was a war hero who devoted herself to Indigenous health care. This is her story. 🧵 1/11

'A lot will depend on how other world leaders treat America’s first rogue president. Butt-kissing—the preferred option so far of those attempting to deal with Donald Trump—has been a humiliating failure. ' www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/0...

A regime desperate to prove its “strength” by using violence against anyone who dares to resist or stand in its way, whether domestic or foreign. It's called fascism, folks.

I am alarmed by how many people don’t know covid is still around and mutating

The U.S. Senate is currently considering a budget reconciliation bill that quietly includes language that could devastate our public lands. It would: - Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale - Mandate the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and BLM land

Benjamin Netanyahu is an indicted war criminal. And yet, the west obediently fall into line when he carries his permanent war campaign into more and more treacherous waters. The bombing of Iran had nothing to do with nuclear threat, it was about regime change. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

The prize for Israel has always been a direct confrontation between the United States and Iran. Netanyahu has been almost monomaniacally focused on this issue.

Family doctors are now a condo amenity. The CDC gave its outbreak data to Ρаlаntіr. A "harmless" virus might be behind MS, lupus, and long COVID. This week’s newsletter is... something. 👇 canadahealthwatch.ca/newsletter/2...

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.

SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference. But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth appeared to acknowledge that the Pentagon has developed plans to take over Greenland and Panama by force if necessary but refused to answer repeated questions during a hotly combative congressional hearing Thursday. buff.ly/JoMkw5A

LifeLabs’ BC strike might be over, but workers are still worried about its new American owner. Quest Diagnostics, a US healthcare behemoth, sees LifeLabs as providing a "strong foundation" for expansion into Canada: pressprogress.ca/lifelabs-bc-...

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

Citizen journalists are how we get the word out about the peaceful protests!

Longer video of the forcible removal, detainment, and arrest of Sen. Alex Padilla by the Trump regime during a DHS press conference. Footage provided by Sen. Padilla's team.

holy shit -- GOP Rep. Mike Turner tries to "help out" Hegseth by getting him to confirm that the Pentagon does not in fact have plans to take Greenland by force, but Hegseth instead more or less testifies that yep, they have devised plans for that

Wow. California Sen. Alex Padilla is wrestled and detained by federal officers after showing up to DHS Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference in LA. (video from Bill Melugin of Fox News)

A message from Carl Sagan from 1995—some of his last prophetic words.

We can do even better, everyone. Stop going to the US. It isn't safe.

Opinion: Representatives who said they were blindsided by items in the budget bill should try this trick: Read every page, John Authers writes

Canada Post wants to create a new class of flexible, part-time worker that will better compete with Amazon and implement “dynamic routing” so delivery routes can be changed on the fly. It’s a good example of how Amazon degrades workers’ rights even beyond its walls. Workers are right to push back.

Zelenskyy: "Trust me, we understand the Russians much better, the mentality of the Russians, than the Americans understand the Russians. I know for sure Putin doesn't want to stop the war."
