Gupta: It is safe. That’s what the best-quality research shows. And how irresponsible, using the podium of the WH to put this out there when you’re not even offering an alternative. That is dangerous. An untreated fever is dangerous. Untreated pain in pregnancy is dangerous.

We’re like two years out (or maybe less) before the newspapers start to publish op eds about how white men really ARE superior. This is ground clearing. First, you make it so no one can speak about racism. Next, you try to rationally defend racist ideas. Then you establish a norm racism is good.

#Halisky Very frustrated right now with the HFX transit app. I have bus tickets saved. I forgot my login password. It hasn’t sent me an email to create a new one. Checked spam too. Will have to take a cab later to get home.

A suspect was charged in connection with antisemitic graffiti. What they don’t say is that there doesn’t appear to be any link Palestine solidarity. Officials and community leaders defamed protesters without just cause. They chose prejudice over actual de-escalation. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Now that I’m at a certain stage of parenthood with a tween, it suddenly dawns on me that my parents never became close friends with the parents of my friends. I think they had one hard lesson about this when I was a young kid. It took me 12 years of parenting to get it.

Vile graffiti on Halifax synagogues is being used to falsely condemn anti-Israeli protestors www.halifaxexaminer.ca/morning-file...

The CBC article about the antisemitic vandalism in Halifax fails to mention the white supremacist gathering yesterday that was part of an attemped nation-wide event, and the recent anti-trans vandalism. We must make these connections to effectively combat hate & drive it from our communities.

Among the reports of three vandalized synagogues, one was spray painted with a swastika and another with the words “Jews did 9/11.”

I contacted #Halifax communications and the city WILL NOT be giving the $50,000 to the Davis Cup. “the event no longer delivers the tourism, economic and other benefits that would have been expected had it proceeded as originally planned.”

The city is spending $50,000 on what? There's no tourism draw for this. There's no local benefit to this. We shouldn't have committed this money in the first place but surely this is grounds for a refund.

The next #KidicalMassHfx is Sunday, Sept 14! We tested out the route today and we’re excited to bring our fun, kid-focused ride to downtown Dartmouth. The main event at the end of the ride will be a performance by biking musician, Brad McGoey! Check the website for all the details 👇

I’ve never experienced mandatory water conservation and wonder how it will be enforced. They could fine people for visible things like car washing. But inspectors won’t be entering our homes timing us in the shower and checking our toilets.

Anyone else notice that RFK Jr. looks and sounds like Emperor Palpatine?

I hope you understand that private industries have, for years, worked to limit scientific credibility. They don't want to be accountable if they cause cancer, if they poison you by dumping in your neighborhood's water.

In the likelihood that the Davis Cup is not cancelled in Halifax, the best I can hope for is an empty stadium. The kind that was seen in France when they hosted a match against an Israeli soccer team. City officials will regret the negative attention and wasted public funds for a long time.

No Sports Washing of Genocide, War Crimes and Apartheid: No Team Israel at the Davis Cup. actionnetwork.org/letters/no-s...

"On September 12-13, Halifax is scheduled to host a Davis Cup international tennis match between Team Canada and Israel at Scotiabank Centre. This event offers Israel the opportunity to sportswash its genocide in Gaza" By El Jones breachmedia.ca/israel-sport...

Have you checked out any of former Green Beret officer Anthony Aguilar’s interviews about the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation? I don’t think I’ll ever be able to get this out of my head:

"He walked 8 km to get there. No shoes. Probably hadn't eaten in days... he set down his bags and he put his hands on my face and he kissed me... he left and the IDF opened up with machine gun fire... There were dead Palestinians. He was one of them." A five-year-old child.

Two prominent Israeli human rights organizations released reports Monday that concluded their government’s actions in the Gaza Strip amounted to genocide

The mass starvation & killing of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli gov’t is a chillul hashem, a desecration of God. Jewish leaders who criticized Zohran Mamdani for three words he doesn’t use should raise their voices loudly here as well. forward.com/opinion/7575...

I guess I’m at the age where I’m sending condolences at least once a week, sometimes twice a day. I now understand why older folks beg to see weddings and grandkids. I won’t pressure my own, but I get it now.

Any idea what's going on in the Woodlawn/Ellenvale area in Dartmouth? A friend said police knocked on her door and asked her to evacuate the area with no more information. #halisky

the people who police use of the term "concentration camp" have no idea that the nazis had over 14,000 camps across europe and that the vast majority were detention camps and labor camps and not killing centers, which is what they ignorantly think concentration camp exclusively means: death camp.

Canada says it's a refuge. It has dangled only false hopes to Palestinians seeking to study here after Israel bombed their universities, or who have applied to be reunited with family. I co-wrote this piece with Deborah Cowen, Kyo Maclear and Madeleine Thien www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/7a8fbe1...

I think the comparison between Liberal or Labour Zionists and anti-Eastern Bloc Communists or Marxists is actually a good and instructive one, even if people on both sides do not like the comparison.

More than 100,000 people marched in Hungary’s annual Pride parade in Budapest on Saturday after Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s ban on the event backfired, turning what is usually a low-key parade into a mass rally against his government. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/28/w...

I wish this were true. Even if there is a pause, none of these nations’ leaders actually want peace. If they don’t have enemies, how can they control their populations and stay in power undemocratically?

There are thoughts I want to share. But I fear if I share them, it will kill me, and if I don’t share them, it will kill me. And I don’t really believe that using the tools of corporate-driven social media can drive social change. Every post exists to enrich the CEOs.

Wild how the Fed chair saying that *entire regions of the United States* won’t be able to get a mortgage in the next decade barely registered as a news event

Footage of the Israeli police ripping apart a protest sign saying "stop genocide" A clear attempt of state censorship, Israel isn’t really different from Russia and Iran at that point

This is the way

This is not a one-off, but a recurring terroristic tactic meant to ethically cleanse the West Bank.

I don’t want Palestinians killed, I don’t want Israelis killed, I don’t want diaspora Jews killed, I don’t want Muslims killed, I don’t want people killed. Can’t be clear enough about that!

The people running the show would prefer that we turn on each other, when our energy is likely better spent turning elsewhere.

Palestinians gunned down while trying to reach food aid site in Gaza, hospital says

Facebook is getting to be a sad place as I age. Just found out I wished happy birthday to an acquaintance from high school who passed away a couple of years ago. 😢

For folks unfamiliar with medical research, these are easily the top three medical journals in the US and in the top five internationally.
