If every American could get free transgender operations, why didnā€™t anyone trade them in for free cancer operations? I mean, instead of bankruptcyā€¦šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø

Truth, because so many American and Canadian political seats are won by default, ā€œacclaimedā€ because everyone assumes incumbents will win or that Party X will always win. But upsets happen, seats are not always safeā€¦and even if you donā€™t win the first time, you likely will the second time

They love disabled people in ā€œinspirationalā€ stories, until we ask for healthcare, jobs, and rights.

Yes CAROL or Karen

WYOMING: ā€œThank you, Madam chairman.ā€ ā€œI prefer ā€˜Misterā€™ chairman.ā€ ā€œWell you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.ā€

Doug Ford re-instated a contract with StarLink. I'm sure it's all fine and not at all a national security risk

You know, there are very few good reasons to own guns, or own spray paints, but geez this Billboard needs some decor baby! #Alberta #Canada

ā€œInsurance companies are mandated to cover recommended vaccines; however, if the CDC and ACIP don't make a recommendation for a new vaccine, insurers have the autonomy to decide whether to cover them.ā€ www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

The Trump administration also terminated advisory committees on long COVID and health equity. https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/public-health/acip-postponement-shelving-cdc-vaccine-campaigns-stir-fears

Musk may cut Starlink support for Ukraine if Zelenskyy doesnā€™t sign the deal to give America access to rare earth minerals, negotiators have said. (Reuters) Mafia Politics.

I have been told that "several" members of the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices are being fired

Free speech means we can use the vocabulary we need to use in our scientific papers and news articles. #MedSky #AcademicSky #SciSky

It seems the title of our upcoming special ā€œTo Serve Manā€ has some people upset,

So why not talk about how many Canadians are angry and offended and how damaging this is in the long run? Instead you have framed it as ā€œneutralā€ and annexing and threatening another country is NOT neutral. Trump is Lying about us. SAY SO @ianhanomansing.bsky.social

But will they actually DO that? The armed forces know that they have to take the long view and that actions they take now can impact generations of military to come. Putting their own people in danger just to satisfy the current POTUS seems to me to be a good reason to slow walk everything

THR: ā€œ.. Paramount now signaling that itā€™s prepared to go on the offensive .. leveraging the threat of uncovering information about Trumpā€™s financials, including with respect to his social media company .. and the cryptocurrency he launched, in discovery.ā€ www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

Or Fetterman never did learn in business school how to deal with psychopaths. You canā€™t cut deals with a guy who never keeps his word, turns on a dime, runs on revenge, and has somehow ended up in charge. So I get his rage. I just think itā€™s misdirected right now. He needs to take aim.

WOW "Seven western Wisconsin Republican lawmakers did not appear at an event hosted by the Wisconsin Farmers Union in Chippewa Falls Friday as farmers from the area said they were concerned about the effect that President Donald Trumpā€™s first month in office is having on their livelihoods." ā¤µļø

It is absurd that major social media platforms are allowing this harmful and abusive material to be easily shared when there are free, accessible ways to preventatively stop it from being uploaded.

Russian, Chinese, and Iranian intelligence must be having an absolute fucking blast

I know right? What a freaking joke. Meantime the greatest heroes of the post 9/11 Afghan war were the Sikhs, Muslims and Hindus who worked for the Canadian, Australian & UK Intelligence. They blended in seamlessly, killed or found Al-Qaeda members and saved many thousands of lives. šŸ¤¦šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø

Exactly, remember after 9/11 when every network sent out ads saying the CIA and NSA and army needed to recruit people who spoke Arabic asap? They couldnā€™t freaking translate anything.

Posse Comitatus anyone? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Thank God I am Canadian Now can someone scientific with a brain tell Governments to have their scientists call Chinaā€™s scientists and work together instead of alienating them this time? We need to work together on this. Not jump to conclusions

Now if only they could save the full timers who really do engage in Fire Prevention and search and rescue and monitor the parks.

This is why I just donā€™t look on Xā€¦I try to avoid reading things Musk says unless itā€™s policy related, I need to make more effort or my blood pressure will soar.

We spent 500 years calling everyone Mr or Miss or Mrs based on their clothes and how they were introduced to us. We werenā€™t perfect but god bless the people who just minded their own business and stopped obsessing about everyone elseā€™s

Woke or biology? There are actually more than the basic ā€œmaleā€ XY & ā€œfemaleā€ XX sexes. Why? Because biology also creates people with single X chromosomes, or extra chromosomes like XXX, XXY, XYY, or XXX+, plus many šŸ§¬genes. šŸ‘‰All Iā€™m asking isā€” please be kind to others. ThanksšŸ™

I stressed myself out and went blank! Arghhh But still, excellent, and remember, 90 seconds is a minute and a half, breathe, think and take your time

A former Soviet intelligence officer alleges Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987 and given the codename ā€œKrasnov.ā€ Alnur Mussayev served in the 6th Directorate, responsible for counter-intelligence support in the economy. One key objective was ā€œrecruiting businessmen from capitalist countries.ā€

These are his constituents, many are his GOP voters. His former GOP voters. Is he this stupid to assume itā€™s all Democrats who are angry?

spring is coming, and the snowflakes know it

Lots of us were online and IRL talking about how terrible Peter Thiel and Elon Musk were for yearsā€¦how concerned we were about CEOs in tech and some of these ā€œTechBrosā€ who obviously had very few ethics and morals guiding them. You got it Anil Dash, not everyone did. Now we are faced with Trump

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.
