1. Europe must focus on helping Ukraine defeat Russia.
2. Trump has abandoned Ukraine & gone over to Russia.
3. The Israeli-US war against Iran is a war of choice.
4. Rubio: Israel compelled the US to join. /1

BREAKING: Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney just chastised the U.S. and Israel on the way they went to war with Iran.

"The United States and Israel have acted without engaging the United Nations or consulting allies, including Canada."

The flu is everywhere. So why aren’t Canadians getting vaccinated for viral illnesses? Despite overwhelming research showing that flu vaccines keep people out of hospital, fewer Canadians are getting vaccinated. Trust isn’t the only factor keeping people from getting the jab.

🧡The flu is everywhere and our hospitals are overwhelmed with viral illness patients.

At the same time, seasonal vaccination rates are declining in Canada.

For The Conversation @amykaler.bsky.social @mmaroto.bsky.social and I wrote about why this is happening and what we need to do differently.

Alberta's flu season is now the deadliest ever recorded (data collection began in 2009).

Why are Albertans not getting vaccinated despite the clear increase of illness and death?

We did a study on this. Read about our findings below.

It’s infuriating that someone who doesn’t have a license to practice medicine can be Surgeon General.

But there’s a bigger issue with Casey Means… the wellness to eugenics pipeline.

They’re setting the stage to blame the disabled for being sick.

Just wait.

Ofelia Torres, teen who fought to have her father released from ICE custody, dies from rare cancer Ofelia Torres, 16, died on Friday from Stage 4 alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer, her father's lawyer confirmed.

A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.

This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.

In Minnesota ICE shot and/or killed far too many people; unconstitutionally detained thousands more; improperly used excessive force; deployed tear gas and supposedly nonlethal munitions on peaceful protesters; violated hundreds of court orders; and zip tied children

For those of you keeping score at home, the actual cut to the Post newsroom was 45%, not the widely reported one third. Remaining journalists are a bit over 400, down from around 1100 four years ago and 580 when Bezos bought the place.

thebikinglawyer on Instagram: "Brad got his start cosplaying as a cyclist and elected to office on the backs of people on bikes. Now he's anti bike a la Ford and …" Brad got his start cosplaying as a cyclist and elected to office on the backs of people on bikes. Now he's anti bike a la Ford and Trump, vying for votes at the expense of our safety and a needless culture war. I think if we, the cycling community, brought Brad into office it's incumbent upon us to take him out. Call out his lies, donate to the ward candidate opposing his chosen successor, and target his mayoral campaign relentlessly.John Tory can you please run, at least we know what you stand for.#flipflop #phony #SadSadford

Brad Bradford is in no small measure responsible for the de-prioritization of bike lane snow removal. His spotless comments preceding the recent storm came at the expense of our safety.

Imagine the audacity of running for mayor complaining about things that you are responsible for?

Imagine squirming so badly for daddy Ford's approval that you'd sacrifice the safety of people who put you in office (with zero experience in anything) for your own ambition 1/2

RFK Jr. appointee Kirk Milhoan has just clearly stated, out loud, that he wants to experiment on the people of the United States by seeing what happens as vaccination coverage plummets and infectious diseases spread.

We know what measles does w/o vaccine protection. The vaccine came in 1963, AKA living memory. We’ve seen outbreaks since in unprotected settings. Just as there was no mystery about syphilis solved by the racist Tuskeegee experiment there’s nothing here to be discovered beyond suffering and sorrow.
