It’s lockdowns. And microplastics from too many nose swabs. /s

A DHS spokesperson defended the detainment, accusing Sen. Padilla of failing to properly identify himself during Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference. But multiple videos show Padilla clearly identifying himself as a senator.

Glad it’s not happening with a resurgence of other diseases…

B.C. experts sound the alarm over rising number of #HIV cases. With U.S. cuts to programs putting millions at risk, Canada needs to provide leadership to help prevent a resurgence of HIV: @bccfe.bsky.social, by Gordon McIntyre vancouversun.com/news/bc-expe... via @vancouversun.bsky.social

Sen. Alex Padilla, who was just forcibly removed from a DHS press conference, is the ranking member of Judiciary’s subcommittee on immigration, citizenship, and border safety, which has “oversight of federal agencies with citizenship, asylum, refugee, and immigration enforcement responsibilities.”

My nephew worked on this doc! Will watch tonight! www.theguardian.com/film/2025/ju...

Idiocracy was a documentary.

Hey @ipaccanada.bsky.social are you done unmasking the future yet? Because there are airborne infections to control, and...you kind of suck at this.

This is lovely

It's like the South Park writers hacked the White House teleprompter back in January and discovered that these people really will just mindlessly read whatever's on it, but in the process they took the joke too far and now they're trying to undo everything but they just keep making it worse.

That respiratory protection document is impressive. Manages to squeeze in several errors of physics, ignorance of fluid dynamics, promotes a long-discredited 5 micron cutoff, and states that all droplets that cause transmission fall to the ground within 5 feet. Absolute bollocks, even in 2020.

From 2020, a reminder that your health is in the hands of people who are almost a century out of date on foundational aspects of disease transmission, but don't let that stop them from forming asinine opinions and laundering them as public health guidance. COVID is a Dunning-Kruger pandemic.

If you are not factoring in the fact that there have been over 1 million pre-mature deaths (in the US) in your excess death charts, you are dramatically underestimating current excess deaths. We should be seeing a negative amount of excess deaths if we are at baseline.

This is a great chart. I know lots of people are questioning reality right now, but you're memory of living in Calgary as a child is correct. We did not have week long smoke events. It simply didn't happen.

If you haven’t heard of Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove… you have now. When she stepped out from the back without missing a beat, I knew it was on🔥 @kamlager-dove.house.gov

Ontario has a long and unfortunate history with substandard care in for-profit long term care facilities - and in close ties between the industry and Conservative politicians. This new regulation will censor all reports on LTC after 3 years, and hide evidence of negligence etc from the public.

Rewording my earlier post. RFK Jr will be testifying before Congress. I am interested in what experts and others think would be the best way to leverage this time and opportunity for the public good. If you were behind the dais for this hearing, what would you do? What do you want to see asked?

Never forget, Sen Bill Cassidy, a doctor, confirmed RFK Jr because he “promised” to leave the vaccine advisory committee untouched Yesterday RFK Jr fired all of them Cassidy betrayed his physician oath to do no harm in confirming a notorious anti vaxxer & science denier There’s blood on his hands

Gavin Newsom - If some of us can be snatched off the streets without a warrant, based only on suspicion or skin color, then none of us are safe. Authoritarian regimes begin by targeting people who are least able to defend themselves. #cdnpoli

The ICE agents and their families must be looking forward to the future with great expectation. You know, the way history remembers all those who willingly served with the Brown Shirts, and celebrates their legacy in monuments and celebrations, and positive histories. We remember.

Cops-- pathetic. Fuck off. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/youre-a-bu...

NEW: A data broker owned by the country’s major airlines, including Delta, American Airlines, and United, collected US travelers’ domestic flight records, sold access to them to Customs and Border Protection (CBP). www.wired.com/story/airlin...

“The resolution also called for the AMA to "initiate sustained public advocacy" in support of the current ACIP structure, including its liaison representatives, and to "identify & evaluate alternative evidence-based vaccine advisory structures and invest resources in such initiatives, as necessary."

Well, I’ve never seen a ‘gold standard’ ‘high quality’ randomized trial that proves smoking is harmful. And you know 3/4 doctors used to recommend Camels. /s

when looking at contemporary politics, I think often about what Hannah Arendt so insightfully characterised as the phenomenon of people being "unable to pit their own judgment against the verdict of History, as they read it"

/1 I have noticed a trend in my comments when I talk about nonviolence and I want to share my observations and thoughts: it's always white men who are trying to convince me that nonviolence doesn't work and that violence is justified because people are angry, enraged.

CNN: Section 12406 says 'orders for these purposes shall be issued through the governors of the states.' Were these orders issued through Gov. Gavin Newsom? DHS OFFICIAL TRICIA McLAUGHLIN: They are issued by the president of the United States

Newsom: This Saturday, he's ordering our American heroes, the United States military, and forcing them to put on a vulgar display to celebrate his birthday, just as other failed dictators have done in the past

Today I raise a glass to the Cryptkeeper! 36 years ago today TALES FROM THE CRYPT premiered its first episode ("The Man Who Was Death" or "Dig That Cat, He's Real Gone" depending on where you lived). The show was wild, irreverent, sexy, fun. I can't wait till you all read about its journey.

Infection control, still a century behind the times.

BREAKING: Tonight, California Gov. Newsom will be addressing California — and the nation — LIVE at around 6:30pm PT regarding Trump’s illegal militarization of LA and his broader assault on our democracy. Watch exclusively on the MeidasTouch channel.

Well this is awkward

Went to a book club (as the guest author) this evening that was at a home right on the river -- sat on a dock literally at the edge of the river with mallards swimming only a few feet away. Absolutely lovely evening, sitting outside, glass of white wine, talking about SHADOW PLAY ....

I saw this human neuron in the microscope today. So pretty, so unique. This single neuron might have helped this person retrieve a memory, make a decision...or shape their personality. So many possibilities. All my gratitude to the individuals and families who donate their brains to science. 🔬❤️🧠

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

So, per the USMC being deployed to LA… they were deployed during the Rodney King riots, but some important things have since changed that makes this deployment different and illegal. 18 U.S.C. § 1385 was updated in 2021 and now includes the USMC (it didn’t previously). It was legal in 1992, not now.

I like this Gavin more than podcast Gavin.
