“Sure, he did A, but he wouldn’t do B.” “Sure, he did B, but he wouldn’t do C.” “Sure, he did C, but he wouldn’t do D.” There has to be a limit. But “wherever we are right now is the limit I’m sure” is naive.

When Covid first started, I felt hope. I genuinely believed we would move forward as a more inclusive society. That disabled people would start receiving the accommodations they had needed for years (like remote work). That hope was crushed when we rushed back to normal

If you’re pregnant please wear a well fitted mask like an N95. Pregnancy makes you high risk for Covid complications. There’s no risk to masking and cleaning the air. More & more studies are showing that Covid during pregnancy harms a developing fetus. Mask up.

UPDATED LIST of countries the Trump administration has threatened to invade, annex, or otherwise attack in the 85 hours of 2026 so far: 🇻🇪 Venezuela 🇨🇺 Cuba 🇬🇱 Greenland 🇮🇷 Iran 🇨🇦 Canada 🇨🇴 Colombia 🇲🇽 Mexico Insane.

"Canada makes too much good stuff that Americans consume so we must punish those nasty Canadians!" - Trump, 2025 "The way Trump invaded that country to get all their stuff was totally awesome sauce!" - Canadian Conservatives, 2026

When Trump says it won’t end up costing the United States to illegally invade and “control” Venezuela because of the value of their oil, he means there will be a massive public cost, but that’s ok because private companies and oligarchs, including his family, will make a ton of money.

Sen. Tammy Duckworth:   "The American people believed Donald Trump when he promised on the campaign trail that he would get our nation out of foreign wars, but this morning we awoke to another stark reminder that he is—and has always been—a liar who has never cared about keeping his promises."

If you care about the values of liberal democracy or the rule of law, you don't celebrate this the way Pierre Poilievre just did. You deplore it.

It's actually important that, to the extent you are able, you stop using oil

So weak.

YES! Especially given the fact that he pretty much threatened her too today, along with the Colombian president and Cuban president and even Canada!!!

Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum calls on the United Nations to step in to stop Trump. She says Trump broke article 2 of the charter of the United Nations.

WHERE IS MARK CARNEY? Hiding? Making the final deal to sell Canada to Trump? Where is the FUCKER?

Schools reopening will be like throwing gas on a fire. Flu numbers are already off the charts, Covid is rampant, and winter is firmly here. Mask up, send your kids with masks, ask their schools to run air purifiers, and try to avoid illness. #covid #mask #school #teacher #flu

Now past 10 AM, still no statement from the Prime Minister’s Office

Right now there's a person somewhere who can leak the Epstein files which are being illegally kept from release. They need our support.

How much harm to children will our government tolerate? Elon Musk posted sexualized images of children on X. X also boosted antivaxx rhetoric; infecting, hospitalizing and killing children. X is used by “Canadian governments of all levels…demand…they delete their accounts” #Canada #Children

My favourite, BIGGEST political story in 2025 was Bruce Fanjoy's toppling of Conservative Leader, Pierre Poilievre, from his long-held Carleton seat. And his humiliating defeat at the hands of Mark Carney. Double punch. It was wonderful. 2026 will be even BIGGER when he's ousted as leader. #cdnpoli

Do you understand why the 51st State was not “a joke”? Do you understand why annexing Greenland was not “a joke”? The only people that thought Trump was joking were Americans with their heads up their asses, on both sides of the aisle. Your president is dangerous. What are you doing about it?!?!

Agreed 100%.

The way the press is treating chatbots, like they have agency and they “know” things all of a sudden, crossed the line recently from dumb and obsequious to something else entirely. Treating them as alive and making conscious decisions is an almost religious belief. It won’t age well.

Is there anything more caucasian than co-opting someone else's food allergy because nobody is paying attention to their boring, gluten tolerant ass? If you've got to make something up to be interesting, you're not. Learn a second language or something.

It’s almost like green energy is the only way forward and a handful of oil barons are doing everything in their power to keep that from happening so they can get even richer at the cost of literally everything else in the world.

“It will be hard to kill the congestion fee now because it’s been a striking success. Traffic speeds are up. Pollution is down. The fee is generating high revenue for the city’s transit system. And predictions that it would be bad for business have proved completely wrong.” Via @pkrugman.bsky.social

Bragging that you just passed your 3rd dementia test is a great way of telling us they've made you take 3 dementia tests

Many don't realize that the most vulnerable or immune compromised depend on the rest getting vaccinated properly to keep diseases from spreading out of control. It's not just “my body, my choice” when it comes to saving lives.

Remember that it’s never too late to start taking Covid precautions. Every infection delayed or prevented is a win for your long term health. Get vaccinated. Clean and ventilate the air. Stay home when you’re sick. Wear a well fitted respirator like an N95. Masks save lives!

Nothing we have learned about Covid’s effects, death rate, or long term complications has even remotely suggested that restrictions were the wrong thing to do. In fact, all “The Science” we have says that we ended them way too soon and paved the way for an unending death and illness toll.

“having to mask made me go fash” is so common and it’s just baffling I mean, yes, it was annoying to wear one all the time? it also wasn’t that big a deal? if, today, someone asks me to put a mask on I go “ok” and put one on and yet so many people treat it as a life-ruining imposition

As we experience a huge surge of flu cases, a reminder that the widespread usage of masks at the start of the COVID pandemic wiped out a strain of the flu. If you haven’t been masking up lately, now would be a great time to restart.

We do deserve better. But Ontarians keep voting for this anyway. Make it make sense. 🤷‍♀️

Masking in public isn’t a “personal risk” decision. It’s a “risking people” decision. An n95 isn’t like a seatbelt you can refuse if you think accident rates are low & you’d survive. Rejecting public masking is like drunk driving on shared roads while hospital access is expensive & inequitable.

Who agrees? ✋

No one randomly owes you information about their health, their loved one’s health, or, understandably, just wanting to avoid Covid, which is the only way to prevent Long Covid.

Wrote about how disappointing it is that Jon Stewart punched down on people masking at @motherjones.com, when people should mind their own business and leave mask wearers be. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Got this fantastically clever Christmas gift. It's a dedicated algorithm free music player that you can carry around without the distractions of your phone, and it can hold thousands of songs without needing an internet connection. The UI is so simple anyone can manage it. Fantastic

"This flu season is no longer just severe. It’s historic. New York is now facing the worst flu surge on record... More than 71,000 positive flu cases were reported in New York in just seven days — the most since influenza became a reportable disease in 2004" www.rochesterfirst.com/news/health/...

Joe Rogan confuses chickenpox with measles—also doesn’t know that measles wipes out your immune system’s memory to fight other germs: ❌"Measles was what everyone got when I was a kid…“❌ WRONG.

No one could have foreseen this. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Sorry about using the word FUCK so much. I just don't have another word that describes how screwed up things are right now. Everything seems to be Fuckity Fucked.

“Shared air.” My friends. It’s not even just shared air. It’s shared dirty air. It’s shared air that’s had breath, burps and flatus passed into it… and there isn’t an open window or filter in sight.

Another example of oligarchy propaganda telling us to work until we drop dead.

Been feeling insane seeing maybe two other people on crowded subway cars wearing a mask. Mask up to protect your neighbors—and yourself! “Hospitalizations tied to influenza jumped sharply, with 3,666 New Yorkers requiring inpatient care compared to 2,251 the week before”
