⭐ “While our study is small, its results are powerful and have implications not only for MIS-C, but potentially for long COVID,” said lead author @laelyonker.bsky.social ⭐️ www.massgeneralbrigham.org/en/about/new... #PIMS #MISC #Treatment #LongCovidKids #LongCovid #ChildHealth

Powerful excerpt: “Intentionally or not, the Ban will signal that there is something wrong with or suspect about having a gender identity that is different than the sex you were assigned at birth. Gender diverse youth will bear the entire burden of that speculation. 1/3

Donate to Skipping Stone and Egale! The fight is far from over. This is only a temporary injunction.

BREAKING NEWS. Alberta Court of King’s Bench grants injunction preventing Alberta Government from banning gender-affirmative care for minors citing “irreparable harm will be caused if the Ban comes into force.” A victory for human rights and trans youth! 🏳️‍⚧️

The US attacks on Iran breached international law www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/06... Under the Geneva Convention of 1949 as modified in 1977, an attack on a nuclear installation that is not a power plant is illegal during war, but that is what the USA just did.

Illinois has enshrined protections to meet this very moment. In a time of increasing overreach and hateful rhetoric, it's more important than ever to reaffirm our commitment to the rights and dignity of the LGBTQ+ community. You have a home here always.

One of the best characterizations of #longCOVID I’ve ever read and how it stems from a much greater pathology.

“I don’t know what the big deal is” is the long and the short of it.

Alberta First Nations issue cease and desist order against Danielle Smith's attempt to create a national unity crisis. Alberta is on treaty lands. Those treaties were signed 30 years before Alberta became a province.

“…this morning, from a war zone half a world away, I was reading about your election. And for the first time in days, I exhaled. A small, almost invisible breath. Relief. And then came gratitude… You didn’t just choose kindness or experience… You chose not to flirt with fascism.” From Ukraine.

With CBC now having called all ridings it's time for the land-vs-people-vote animation.

"The COVID-conscious people have not abandoned science, It’s the opposite: They’ve come to think that science has abandoned them." People who are taking precautions, some of whom are immunocompromised, should not be mocked or discriminated against www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

Masking discourse is on again and I’ll just say if you see people masking when few others are it’s likely because they’ve determined that for them, in that setting, the benefit of not catching (or spreading) whatever’s going around is worth the cost of masking. It’s rarely more complicated than that

Highlights how #Canada plays a critical role in the future of global democracy.

INCREDIBLE Ruling! Judge Reyes just ruled that transgender people have served honorably in the military, judges Trumps trans military ban - which states trans people are inherently dishonorable - as unconstitutional and motivated by animus. Trans military members may continue to serve.

1. Incredible ruling! An Ohio appeals court has ruled that trans care is healthcare, strikes down youth trans care ban! It made the ruling using the Republican-passed "health care freedom amendment" meant to overturn Obamacare! Subscribe to support my journalism. You'll want to read this one.

If you’re interested in a crash course from the beginning in chronic issues with COVID I recommend this excellent interview with David Putrino. Perhaps the least well understood consequence is the damage every infection likely causes everyone, symptomatic or not. www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

I’ll end with a message of hope: we are learning every day. Progress is slow and difficult, but what I see in the trenches is that my teams (and other teams around the world) are slowly learning how to help individual patients one breakthrough at a time. We will be here for as 7/

An update on Bill 26 in Alberta. The legislation is NOT in effect so access to gender-affirmative care for minors can continue as it has been across the province.
