Appearing today in The Week:

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

Faith in action in communities. "Churches, mosques, synagogues & other places & communities of worship have their own strong community networks, & often host other activities for the wider community: from food banks to lunch clubs to well-being groups."

Medical science can perform miracles! This heartening article tells of saving a baby's life before it's born from a potentially fatal disease. Thanks to medical researchers everywhere! 😘

Simple, distinctive art helps folks with dementia navigate the city & complex bus-train stations. They also raise awareness in others of dementia. This idea is informing cities around the world, incl. here in Canada!

An important point to keep in mind.

I pray the offenders will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law!

would love to know what the women of the hammam thought was going on, mostly white woman who speaks some arabic turns up at neighbourhood hammam three weeks in a row, with three different white friends who'd never been to a hammam before wonder if they think I run some white slave trade

International war criminals!

AOC has them sputtering mad because she’s educating people on constitutional rights. You don’t see them freaking out at Jeffries for talking about egg prices.

ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY

That’s so Nazi of you Musk

And getting active help at this from certain provincial governments! Right, Smith?

. AOC is the only elected official who walks into Congress like it’s a battlefield, armed with facts, common sense, and zero patience for BS. Fearless, sharp, and always ten steps ahead—exactly what politics needs. And that’s why they are terrified of her! #AOC #QueenEnergy #FightBack

L’Algérie condamne la visite de Rachida Dati au Sahara occidental

A drug addict who makes cars that spontaneously explode, plows into cops, and crash at much higher rates than other cars, is going to fix the air traffic control system? I'm not getting on a plane until this drug-addled illegal immigrant is deported or imprisoned.

🤯 Ship violating sanctions by transporting Russian oil to Europe struck by explosion in Italy

And knowing how to verify data, which includes "hallucinations" with AI. Verification takes skills.

Today, at 8:40am, Leonard Peltier walked out of prison after nearly 50 years of wrongful incarceration. Via one of his attorneys.

At a hockey game this weekend, Canadians loudly booed the US national anthem—and then turned around and proudly sang their own with full-throated joy. The contrast couldn’t have been clearer.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy unexpectedly canceled his visit to Saudi Arabia where he was to be briefed about the outcome of talks between the US and Russia on the future of his country

When my class was elected in 2010, we cut congress’ own budget and our personal ones by about 10 percent. This one should cut theirs by about 20, and each office should lay off a couple employees. Same DOGE is requiring. Make every @gop answer

“There’s a grey zone between Nazi and non-Nazi, and if you look at the conservative elites, you will find that around 90 per cent of them share close to all the negative aims of the Nazis.” in-sights.ca/2025/02/18/t...

I feel for our neighbours getting hit by 0°degree F cold, honestly! People in some provinces are happy to see -17° C (0°F) warming spells, it's different here. Yet many of you dear people lack home insulation or good heating systems. So, watch out for at-risk people & help fight climate change!

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.

Natural consequences. Poor babies!

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

Noise is an insidious part of our lives, leading to hypertension, higher risk of heart disease & impaired cognitive functioning, sleep issues & mental health conditions like anxiety and depression. The "loud things" are often put in communities of coloured, Indigenous, & disadvantaged people.

US flu numbers worst in 15 years, 100,000's hospitalized with more severe complications & kids especially hit hard. Adults with pneumonia and requiring intubation and ventilation. Please, please, please get flu shots for you & your family!
