Rep. Jim Himes: Zelenskyy is watching 70,000 dead Ukrainians. Missiles are slamming into hospitals. This is what he’s seeing, and he comes to the Oval Office, and a reporter asks him why he’s not wearing a suit. And the effing VP wants him to say thank you…

“Once transferred to Ukraine, this money can be used to ensure that the country cannot only recover from the war, but also prevent a repeat of it.” My study urging this $300 billion transfer several years ago has worn well. Action, not talk, is urgently needed now: www.nytimes.com/2025/03/04/b...

Freeland: "If these tariffs are put in place, it is going to hurt Americans ... your grocery prices are gonna go up, bc you know what you need to grow food in the US? You need fertilizer. 80% of it comes from Canada and you're gonna be a 25% tax on it? ... the WSJ is right. This is dumb."

IMPORTANT: If you live in the United States or Canada, you’ve probably heard Trump‘s constant claim that the United States is “subsidizing” Canada. It’s wrong of course, but here’s the best explanation I’ve seen about how & why it’s wrong. PLEASE WATCH & SHARE IT A LOT. Kudos to Andrew Chang & CBC.

Macron: “But we must not forget one point—if anyone is playing the Third World War, it is Vladimir Putin. He was the one who started the war three years ago, and he brought 10,000 North Korean soldiers to European soil.”

I’m quietly meditating… yet there are 2 chilling thoughts keep haunting me— 📌1. Measles is not just highly infectious with R0 of 12-18, but it has a long 2 WEEK INCUBATION period—ie Texas outbreak could be in the HUNDREDS or more already, and we are seeing just the early tip of iceberg.

I just do not get all the folks in the USA complaining that the party they did NOT elect, is not speaking out loud enough to protest the actions of the party they DID elect. And even when they do speak out one barely hear about it as the media is and has been solidly right wing forever.

Good: CDC’s outbreak publication (MMWR) is now up and running after the first pause in over 70 years Bad: Todays publication is about fires, and not the missing bird flu or mpox studies we knew were up for publication. Of which have safety implications for veterinarians and people with house cats …

Harms in the form of diversion from "safer supply" have leaked within BC. Please note that anyone in need can get Suboxone (a much better supported treatment) at nearly any ER in BC at any time. globalnews.ca/news/1100599...
