With all the uncertainty around public health in the U.S., now is a great time to wear a good mask like an N95. They’re not just for Covid! A respirator can help you avoid flu, colds, measles, TB and more. It’s a powerful act of solidarity and resistance. It’s a sign of community care.

The trade war may be paused, but the battle is far from over. I know it’s cliché, but we really are stronger together. And if there’s one benefit to all this, it’s how unified we are against Trump’s reckless policies. So let’s keep: 🍁 supporting local 🍁 buying Canadian 🍁 standing up to bullies

Wearing a mask is still the simplest thing you can do to resist & show solidarity with vulnerable people. Protecting your health is more important than ever right now. Fighting back is easier when you’re healthy. It also tells the government that you will not leave people behind.

To summarise. COVID-19 is damaging people’s immune system… and it’s getting worse… and we have evidence… and it’s going to produce drug resistant bugs and we are not doing two simple things to stop it. 😷 🪟

Under the tax plan proposed in Project 2025, it's estimated that a family of 4 making $100,000/year would get a $2,600 tax hike. But a family of 4 making $5 million/year would get a $325,000 tax cut. It's a trickle-down nightmare.

Israel bombed Jabiliya refugee camp AGAIN today. Only tens of metres away from yesterday’s attack. As first responders and neighbours were still digging through the rubble for survivors from yesterday, they were hit today. (From Aljazeera)

Nice to see the NDP pushing for fresh air in kids’ schools that we know improves brain function. Kids deserve fresh air to think and learn in.

Today David “The Only Science Table I Trust” Fisman took time out of his day to support the NDP pushing for clean fresh filtered air in schools, and I think that’s f*cking awesome. Thank you sir.

I hear people getting a lot of “What would it take for you to stop masking?” Might be neat to ask, “What would it take for you to start?”

Spending a bit of time at Yale this week (yay!) and I really like this approach to messaging. People can’t act if you don’t explain risk to them.

Am I surprised? No Am I disappointed? Hell Yes! myhealth.alberta.ca/topic/Immuni... How COVID 19 spreads - AHS says - human contact - droplets - contaminated objects But any mention of it being airborne is absent. This is so very frustrating 😷

Some days… Meet Brad, a good guy, being responsible and getting the fall COVID XBB.1.5 subvariant booster like Ontario asked him to. They gave Brad the wrong booster without telling him - does he have to wait an unsafe 6 months for the new one??? Ontario does THE worst rollouts. #onpoli

Katalin Karikó was the daughter of a butcher. She wanted to be a scientist, although she had never met one. She immigrated to the US in her 20s, but for decades never found a permanent position, receiving little support from the scientific establishment. Now she’s a Nobel winner!

It’s finally clear as day. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has announced he will run as an independent for president. He’s backed by GOP funders, and his goal is to peel away Democratic voters from Biden. Don’t be fooled by shiny third party traps. To stop Trump, we need to unite behind Biden. /1
