Kaine: "You don't sucker punch somebody in a bar and then blame your buddies when they don't join the fight with you. If the president wanted the support of allies, he should've respected them instead of putting tariffs on their economies and trash talking them."

Ran into old friend I'd heard has cancer. She's refusing radiation and chemo because "it's all from the COVID vaccine", and that mistrust now extends to cancer meds. I will NEVER forgive public health for downplaying COVID, leaving the goal wide open for all this garbage.

Holy F. NS health is using an AI chat bot called Nova and their recent Facebook post encourages people to ASK THE AI CHAT BOT about their SYMPTOMS. This is absolutely wild. www.yourhealthns.ca #nspoli

RIP to a great man. He was the unnamed UN official I was alluding to in an earlier post today. As a global health scholar, Mr Lewis was a towering figure in my field. The nation should truly mourn this loss.

"All this time Putin had, and still has, a mole in all European and NATO official meetings. If the integrity of these meetings is to be maintained, it would be appropriate to ban Hungary from all of them. Every generation has a Kim Philby” theins.press/en/inv/29091...

Trump does not think strategically, historically, geographically, or even rationally. He does not connect actions he takes on one day to events that occur weeks later. Allied leaders know that if they help him in the Gulf, he won't be grateful, or even remember www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

It’s International Long Covid Awareness Day. One of the best things you can do to support people with Long Covid is wear a mask (ideally a respirator like an N95). Masks break chains of transmission. They prevent infection. The only way to avoid Long Covid is to avoid Covid!

NEWS: The Trump administration just gave Vladimir Putin another break. Treasury issued a license letting countries buy Russian oil already loaded onto ships before March 12, allowing those sanctioned shipments to still reach buyers, handing the Kremlin a financial lifeline.

You've all heard of the Resource Curse: countries are impoverished by rich resources in their territories, as these trigger colonial looting. Now we see the Base Curse: if you host a US base, you don't enhance your security. You make yourself a target.

In 2010, an undocumented farmworker from Mexico received a misdemeanor citation for leaving his two young kids alone to buy them pajamas at Walmart. The Trump administration says this now merits deportation in a potentially wide-reaching court case.

On Tuesday, Halifax council decided the developer must rip out the building's top two storeys, which it did not have permission to build. A report from municipal staff said the move has never been done on this scale in the city. #Halifax #NovaScotia /1 thread www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

UBC hosted Rachel Maddow to discuss extremism and American global collapse. She brought two decades of research on a man picking trade wars with allies, threatening Greenland, and feuding with Canada’s Prime Minister. The Chan Centre was full. The irony was fuller.

I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party. This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.

Judge orders refunds after Supreme Court strikes down Trump’s tariffs

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

A federal court on Monday rejected the Trump administration's attempt to slow the process of refunding billions of dollars' worth of tariffs the Supreme Court struck down as illegal last month.

Eisenhower

Of course. No one wanted this war. They wanted food and health care and energy prices to go down. Now all those things will cost more. It's a war of folly by a doddering old man who likes when things blow up and needs to distract us from the child sex ring he's connected to.

somehow had not ever ridden in a Tesla until last night and wow what a hunka junk!! everything feels a little thin and flimsy. it's like a fake car. i needed to be told how to open the door when entering and exiting lol just a real symphony of industrial design and engineering

This is still worth saying for the record. No one who is opposed to the US bombing of Iran is actually SUPPORTIVE of the repressive regime currently in Iran. This is not a case of choosing one evil over another. Rather, it's choosing a universal principle, that unprovoked murder is always wrong.
