Dear MAGA & DOGE fans—National Weather Service is now so understaffed by 20-40% in Florida & Southern US, that meterologist urgently warn they cannot confidently predict hurricane 🌀 paths anymore. These senseless cuts will endanger your life.

If you’re not sure if you might have ME/CFS (say, you haven’t been feeling right since you had a case of Covid), luckily the diagnostic criteria are clear enough they can be summarized in one tweet!

ICYMI: As kids keep getting sicker, media ignores scientific papers pointing to immune dysregulation and damage after COVID. Instead, parents are urged to “watch out” for unusual waves of RSV, flu, and more, while masks, clean air & COVID go unmentioned. www.thegauntlet.news/p/kids-keep-...

Confederation is like a family. Ultimatums, threats and escape plans are not a way to make a family work. Premier Smith should ask herself what her intentions are here. Is she comfortable with where this might lead? Are we, as Albertans? Let’s be constructive. Canada is worth it.

Believe your patients. Especially women. Gaslighting, dismissal, misogyny, ableism, racism & discrimination have no place in medicine. They cost lives. We shouldn’t need to bring a man with us in order to get adequate care, yet all too often that’s exactly what is takes.

King Charles will be opening Canada's parliament later this month — the first time the English monarch has done so in 50 years. He'll be delivering PM Carney's first speech from the throne. It's a clear bit of symbolism as Canada tries to re-orient back towards Europe and way from America.

A study of masks and respirators confirms, yet again, that earloop KN95/KF94 masks perform similarly to surgical masks. Earloop masks should not be recommended as a substitute for proper headstrap N95 respirators—except for the rare wearer who passes a fit test in them.

I'd rather have suicidal empathy than no heart at all. While the cruelty is the point for these ghouls, I still firmly believe there are more good people in the world than evil. I'm grateful to @charlieangus104.bsky.social for bringing light into these dark times & defending #ChildRights

"I don't know anyone with Long Covid" "It's a liberal disease" "It's the vaccine" We've all heard the excuses. The truth is more than 400 million people are suffering from Long Covid, and the stigma and denial associated with the condition makes it hard for people to realize they have it:

Excellent thread about the threat of creating lists of people with disabilities. We’ve been here before. The Nazis had an entire program to target & eliminate the disabled. Creating a registry of autistics isn’t going to “solve autism”. RFK Jr knows this. We must remain vigilant & fight back.

It’s never too late to start masking again. Wearing a well fitted respirator is one of the most effective ways to safeguard your health, while also fighting against fascism and standing up for social justice. If you’re not sure where to get one, or if you can’t afford one: maskbloc.org

“SARS-CoV-2 is not just a virus. COVID is not just a pandemic. It’s an aperture, a breach in the fabric of our shared reality. It makes things visible. And once you see it — really see it — you can’t unsee anything.” This. Once you step out of the denial bubble, you really can’t go back in:

After demanding an election for the past two years, now a week away, piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre still hasn’t released a costed platform? The reason, of course, is he and Jenni Byrne don’t want the media, experts or voters any reasonable time to examine it and pick it apart. Vote wisely, 🇨🇦Canada

This is an extraordinary interview by Heather Cox Richardson of Senator Angus King, and is well worth listening to the entire interview. Very solid suggestions on what people can do to influence Congress and the Republican Party, which is abdicating congressional powers to a psychopathic, narcissist

Don't forget the only active political leaders in Canada who answer questions to #RebelNews and give them time are Alberta's Daniele Smith, Saskatchewan's Scott Moe and CPC Pierre Poilievre. And tonight #RebelNews shows the country they don't care about democracy. Vote accordingly. #cdnpoli
