BARRED FEDERAL SCIENTISTS AND DIPLOMATS FROM ATTENDING A KEY GLOBAL CLIMATE EVENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The European federation of Academies of Sciences has posted a statement of concern about the developments in the US. They now have added the option to endorse this statement as an organisation. Would be great if this could go viral. allea.org/portfolio-it...

It will be very interesting to see how the wide use of these medications shape the food, alcohol, tobacco and cannabis industries (people are now only losing weight but losing their desire to consume these as well)

Repost with the first album you bought with your own money

Worlds best F1 driver and all around awesome human Lewis Hamilton is partnering with iconic Canadian 🇨🇦 brand Lululemon… and I’ll be so ready to spend the dollars!!!! www.instagram.com/reel/DGa3D6o...

That’s why we’re not watching

Doug Ford promised to end hallway medicine. But Ontario’s ER wait times have gotten worse in the past three years, confidential report shows Patients visiting ERs in the past three years waited longer than they did in the previous 13 years. www.thestar.com/news/gta/dou...

More of this!

I wrote about the murky world of "anti-ageing" therapy NAD - from retracted research and celebrity hype to the clinics pushing it as an addiction cure ⬇️ www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

OMG LOL

From Kit Yates at the University of Bath. UK and other non-US scientists must act to support our US colleagues: Silence will not shield scientists from the consequences of an increasingly hostile political landscape. kityates.substack.com/p/uk-and-oth...

Yeah but… FREE SPEECH!!!!!

Basically, racism 🤷🏽‍♀️

This reminded me of that scene in JoJo Rabbit where Rebel Wilson, as Fraulein Rahm, teaches German kids attending the army training camp, about German women’s roles during WWII: "It's the job of women to cook, clean, and have babies"

Blatant extortion. And Ontario needs to rip up the Starlink deal immediately. www.reuters.com/business/us-...

From Lewis to you, Tifosi 🗣

This is so unconscionable. Elon Musk is personally extorting Ukraine to get access to their minerals for his car batteries. Once again, Elon Musk is an existential threat to everyone on this planet. www.reuters.com/business/us-...

The poster child for white male mediocrity, Pete Hegseth, is firing qualified Black men and women from the military.

Organizmo! The Colombian architects overturning colonialist ‘sustainability’ ideas

Hunter Schafer announced in an 8+ min video that her new passport misgenders her, presumably because of Trump's announcement that the US govt only recognize gender as assigned at birth. she (rightly) connects it to fascist history, like Nazis burning the Institute of Sexology in 1933 @teenvogue.com

PhRMA's deregulatory agenda for the 2nd Trump administration, in one slide. Magic AI pixie dust, "new and different forms of evidence," and "modernization" of "regulatory expectations" all code words for fewer, smaller, and weaker clinical trials to prove safety and efficacy.

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!

Cruelty for the sake of. No other reason.

This is astounding. It shows Albertans paid double - sometimes triple! - for surgeries at private surgical facilities connected to friends of the UCP than through AHS. And the Premier’s staff & Health Minister allegedly pressured & then fired the CEO of AHS when she asked questions about them.

Costa Rica human rights ombudsman on US deportation flight yesterday: "We observed a significant number of deportees, babies in arms, children, women, elderly people, issuing calls for help, especially to be able to inform their families of their whereabouts, showing and expressing their distress."

Voted. Not for Doug Ford.

Im from Colombia, a country where government-backed paramilitary forces made regular use of chainsaws in their extrajudicial killings, and in their efforts to hide the evidence. Casually brandishing this tool/weapon is very chilling

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

The panel of vaccine experts were supposed to hold their first meeting under the Trump administration in late February. It's not clear when that meeting will now take place.

They are deliberately crossing the red lines, in order to make the unacceptable commonplace and, eventually, acceptable again.

Voice notes in WhatsApp group chats should be outlawed.

Such cowardice by @nationalacademies.org. National Academies is altering pending reports to appease Trump administration, some members say www.statnews.com/2025/02/20/n... via @statnews.com

#BMJExclusive Five years ago a BMJ investigation found that medical students were being let down by poor monitoring and responses to complaints of racism. Has any progress been made? @garethiacobucci.bsky.social investigates www.bmj.com/content/388/...

Toxic drugs lowered life expectancy for B.C. men more than #COVID19 did during the pandemic years: StatsCan. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... via @cbcnews.ca #ToxicDrugCrisis

Has racism improved in the NHS and UK medicine? Mala Rao sees shoots of hope, but Victor Adebowale argues that any progress still has a long way to go www.bmj.com/content/388/...

I hate that wellness got co-opted by the right because there really is a good conversation to have about our food systems and what goes into foods that could be harming us, but instead of passing regulations on food companies like other countries it’s going to be “you can’t buy snacks with SNAP”

Canada annexes 4 Nations Championship

We should not be surprised that academic societies, institutions, and colleagues who remained silent in the face of genocide are now compliant in the face of tyranny. (Except and exclusively where it's directly affecting their funding, that is).

🇨🇦 wins 3 🇺🇸 2 !!! #4Nations  🇨🇦 GO CANADA 🇨🇦

And so it begins... 😢 Trump administration yanks CDC flu vaccine campaign www.npr.org/sections/sho... "...decision to pull the campaign comes in the midst of a brutal flu season that's still raging. More than 50,000 patients were admitted to hospitals for influenza..."

Lots of MAGA hats in the crowd 🤡

The mothers met in a Whatsapp group. They have vowed to fight until their sons, who they say have not committed crimes and do not have ties to gangs, are released.

Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia has published a letter sent to him by Trump’s Department of Justice threatening to potentially prosecute him for criticizing Elon Musk.
