Not just empty promises but a solid action plan. We NEED Mark Carney as Prime Minister.

I believe that Trump thinks he is a genius, so his tariffs are on par with how he has run his other businesses. His puppet masters want to tank the economy to pave way for the robber barons, so they are egging him on.

The entire permanent staff of the Division of Environmental Health Science and Practice was laid off. This division addresses issues such as asthma and air pollution, climate change and health, childhood lead poisoning, and cancer clusters.

Want to protect our sovereignty? šŸ‡ØšŸ‡¦ Support Carney in his fight for us against whatever Trumpkin tries to do to us.

The destruction of American science continues apace. Early career people are the most likely to be seeking to leave. One of my about-to-graduate PhDs is seriously considering a job offer in Germany, even though it would involve lower pay. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Hello Alberta. The Resistance Tour is coming to Edmonton. Sunday, April 13 St Basil's Cultural Centre at 2 PM. I hope to see folks there!

ā€œI donā€™t know how you do it! I could never be chronically ill!ā€ We didnā€™t get a choice. No one asked our permission. Disability just happens. It can happen to you too. We cope because we have no choice. We canā€™t trade our bodies in for new ones. We canā€™t ā€œtry harderā€ our way out of it.

When you hear ā€œMake America Healthy Againā€ ask yourself thisā€¦ healthy for who? When was America healthy? Itā€™s not about health. Itā€™s about thinning the herd. Culling the weak Itā€™s about assigning blame to people with chronic illness & pushing health supremacy Itā€™s straight from the Nazi playbook

If you give in to extortionists, theyā€™ll extort you and others for more. If you let bullies get their way, those bullies will bully you and others even more menacingly. Which brings me to Columbia University. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-shame-of-columbia-university

The latest crazy just proves what we all know. They are discussing everything on Signal to avoid any discovery or FOIA or archival laws. So illegal but here we are.

Little snail fren! I love that theyā€™re blue. For scale, itā€™s sitting on the thumb of my bulky cold weather gardening glove.

I am asking Canadians for a strong, positive mandate to deal with President Trump and build a stronger economy here at home.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

Trump filed 60+ bogus lawsuits after 2020 election, lost every single case but 1 (on an irrelevant technicality), the lawyers who represented him were censured, arrested, & disbarred for fraudā€”& now he signs an EO ā€œPreventing Abuses of the Legal System & the Federal Court.ā€ Fascist gaslighting 101.

Pierre Poilievre on Canada: "It's not the Americans fault. It is our fault. We're stupid." No Pierre. Canadians aren't stupid. We see you. #elbowsup

Heā€™s in for a big surprise if the checks stop.

I have just asked the Governor General to dissolve Parliament and call a federal election on April 28. We need to build the strongest economy in the G7. We need to deal with President Trumpā€™s tariffs. Canadians deserve a choice about who should lead that effort for our country.

I shared this podcast to a family member & asked them to listen to it. They flipped out and told me to just turn the channel. I really wish it were that simple and we could flick a switch and long Covid would be over www.cbc.ca/radio/quirks...

Thatā€™s what we did in just nine days. Letā€™s keep building, together.

Welcome to all our new followers! šŸ’š

The United States is no longer a nation under the rule of law. I urge Canadians to avoid travel. Illegal detentions and kidnapping by ICE have become all too common for travellers and those with working VISAs. Stay away at this time. boingboing.net/2025/03/20/d...

Yay!!! A federal appeals panel denied the Trump administrationā€™s request for a pause in the rehiring of probationary workers who were fired illegally.

Canada is strong. Together with our allies, we are even stronger. Good to meet with you in France, President Macron. The friendship between our two countries is the envy of the world.

Why all young people should get the HPV vaccineā€”girls and boys medicalxpress.com/news/2025-03... "Amazingly, this disease is now almost entirely preventable through vaccination and screening." #VaccinesWork

This power grab is unprecedented, unbounded, and unconstitutional.

ā€œCanadians would mostly vote Democratā€ presumes that Canada no longer existed, that weā€™d kowtowed to American annexation, and that weā€™d happily vote in their false-choice two-party system for the lay-downs being dog-walked daily by a populist MAGA minority. Stop validating this idiotic narrative.

A federal judge in Maryland issued an even more sweeping restraining order on Thursday, surpassing an earlier one from the same day. The order broadly prohibits the Trump administration from implementing any future ā€œreductions in force,ā€ such as this weekā€™s directive to terminate half of the

"Low marks"? How about impeach this incompetent anti-science buffoon? Experts give Kennedy low marks as measles outbreak tests him www.aol.com/experts-kenn...

Right now, weā€™re building a government that will deliver what our country needs most. Weā€™re going to protect Canadians during this crisis and build a stronger economy for the future.

Republicans seem to have completely forgotten about the first amendment

God damnit. This makes me so angry given the fight weā€™ve had since 2020 to protect against airborne transmission in hospitals and other congregate settings. Itā€™s the worst ā€œI told you soā€ montreal.citynews.ca/2025/03/12/q...

Happy Purim to all members of the Jewish community across Canada. May this be a time for you to gather with your loved ones and celebrate warmth, community, and the perseverance of the Jewish people. Chag Purim Sameach!

Not all resistance has to be boots on the ground. There are small ways we can all resist. Wear a mask Donate to mutual aid Support libraries, food banks & community fridges Fascism thrives when people are misinformed, scared & divided. Being informed, united & helping one another IS resistance

I'm old enough to remember when polio ripped through the globe and put my friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. RFK Jr leading HHS is a disgrace.
