Fables really had me believing people would be out here learning the error of their ways from doing bad things

Shit eating grin - check Thumbs up - check Could he look any more trumpian?

Doug Ford promised to end hallway medicine. But Ontario’s ER wait times have gotten worse in the past three years, confidential report shows www.thestar.com/news/gta/dou... @thestar.com @raghu-venugopal.bsky.social @erinariss.bsky.social 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗹𝘆 𝘂𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀: CanadaHealthwatch.ca/newsletter 🍁

What a crazy coincidence that NONE of these houseplants seem to be cut out for my unique brand of tough love

Did Doug Ford deliver on his promises to fix Ontario health care? From hospitals to long-term care and mental health, here’s what’s changed www.thestar.com/news/canada/... @thestar.com 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗹𝘆 𝘂𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀: CanadaHealthwatch.ca/newsletter 🍁

Big Balls’s past gets more scrutiny — including the internship where he was terminated. “You’re willing to risk our entire network to a 17-year-old?” one frustrated executive asked the company’s CEO in 2022. “Are you for real right now?” @cnn.com www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com As a reporter, James Gerstenzang covered five presidents and is familiar with the conventional disputes between journalists and presidents. But Trump's ban on The AP "is emblematic of the broader assault by the White House on the public's right to know," he writes.

This is about the fifth major university who announced reductions in PhD admissions this week in response to federal research cuts. Absolutely awful for students who are trying to get into grad school right now.

President Trump’s purge at the Pentagon is a major step toward creating an officer corps personally and absolutely loyal to him, @radiofreetom.bsky.social writes. theatln.tc/3oq1fmSh

Strong statement by retired Rear Admiral Mike Smith, President of NSL4A: "National Security Leaders for America strongly condemns the removal of senior military officers without just cause. ... Removing experienced leaders with meritorious records weakens the force and emboldens America’s enemies."

Trump's DOJ is preparing to put all incarcerated transgender women into men's facilities as early as next week, and according to NPR "the bureau is well aware of concerns about potential risks of assault, sexual violence and suicides"

During WWII, four brothers from the same Jewish family signed up to fight against the Nazis. Only one of the four brothers survived. His grandson is the current President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky. Sláva Ukrayíni!

It amazes me that folks can go around giving Nazi salutes these days and not immediately get the shit kicked out of them.

the enemy of my enemy is also my enemy. fuck those guys

Batman villain Emil Bove is Donald Trump’s hatchet man in the Department of Justice. The great @lizdye.bsky.social unpicks his past and his ruthless knifing of former colleagues. Move over Scarecrow and Riddler. It’s the hour of The Apostate! airmail.news/issues/2025-...

How We Know that Vaccines Are Safe www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/... by @jonathanjarry.bsky.social Reality: "Vaccine safety is studied in a series of larger and larger clinical trials before they can be approved, and surveillance continues after a vaccine is used to monitor for rare side effects."

Leading expert on tyranny👇, offering some hope that the populist fever is breaking. Next steps are critical. Conservative & moderate leaders need to re-normalize pluralism by pushing back & re-erecting guardrails. Progressives need to provide space & cover. True in Alberta as it is in America.

The decision of the Taliban to withdraw Afghanistan from the #ICC has no legal effect on atrocities already committed, for which Taliban leaders have been targeted with arrest warrants. Taliban withdraw Afghanistan from International Criminal Court: www.voanews.com/a/taliban-wi...

Time to continue to yell at people

Your weather app gets its info because of NOAA. Your mail arrives at your home because of USPS. Your plane navigates the skies because of the FAA. Your food is safer -- and we get alerts when it isn't -- because of USDA. You hear about earthquakes *worldwide* because of USGS.

When you do clownery

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

Firing 7000 IRS agents will make it even easier for the rich to get away with skirting what they owe. But it's also a gift to the multi-billion dollar tax prep industry. Fewer IRS agents to help you file your taxes means more money in the pockets of companies like TurboTax.

The actual DOGE "savings," if we ever get an accurate accounting which isn't looking promising, would amount to a ridiculously trivial amount per taxpayer. But that's part of why they're not doing an accurate accounting. They want to dole out a few hundred bucks and call it DOGE money regardless.

This is a drug addict who can barely put together a sentence.

I talked to the only Department of Education Office for Civil Rights investigator in Alabama, who was terminated in DOGE cuts, for @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

A profile of Adm. Lisa Franchetti, the Navy's top officer, who spent roughly half of her 40-year career at sea, commanding a destroyer, two carrier strike groups and the U.S. Sixth Fleet, & whom current Defense Secretary and former Fox & Friends co-host Pete Hegseth fired tonight.

I got two weeks reprieve after the flu and now I’m sick again in case anyone is counting. fucking cancer

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center say results of a Phase I trial of an mRNA vaccine aimed at preventing pancreatic cancer show promise. The vaccine PREVENTED the cancer from coming back in patients who had already received treatment for MORE THAN three years. 🧪🧵⬇️

Literature is fairly clear that because autocracies - contra democracies - aren’t very responsive to general welfare concerns, tax policies will skew heavily to favour the small supportive elite over of the general public. That seems likely to track with US regime change.

One aspect of doing a political purge of the military and civil service is you can't come back in afterwards and just revert to status quo ante policies. A counter-purge becomes a necessity before you can then restore usual norms and protections. The people he's installing can't be left in place.

The attacks on DEI are a pretext for a much more radical agenda of reversing the gains of the civil rights movement, an objective the Trump administration is pursuing with zeal. A Great Resegregation. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Study: Predictors of COVID-19 Vaccination Intention and Behavior Among Young People publichealth.jmir.org/2025/1/e64653 Refusers "had lower education, and showed higher conspiracy theory tendencies." Should "...focus on individuals with lower education and material disadvantages."

Here in North America we are desperately fighting for the "before" picture.

‘Exploited’ migrant farm workers in UK paid for picks, not hours

Important for understanding implications of the Defense Department purge. Who will be their replacements? Recall this report from December: "Prospective occupants of high posts inside the Pentagon" were asked "whether they believed the 2020 election was stolen."

More info in this latest article, although to be clear what has been terminated is the IPCC Working Group 3 technical support unit and fed travel to next weeks’s meeting where the report chapter outlines are to be approved, after which authors will be solicited.
