Bill Gates, climate change isn't an existential threat to civilization... meanwhile reality wants a word. www.france24.com/en/middle-ea...

What more is there to say at this point?

SCOOP: I got a copy of the Calgary police chief’s hand-written notes from May 9 and 10, which show that he discussed the dismantling of a 🇵🇸 encampment at UofC with three Cabinet ministers and the premier’s chief of staff. open.substack.com/pub/theorcha...

Great article discussing the many, many reasons why masking remains crucial

Again, two of my friends were concussed and a student’s mom had her ribs broken by police when they attacked the students who had *already* started taking the encampment down after 12 hrs. This is wholly rotten

“put it on his fucking gravestone”

There's a lot more where that came from! Stay tuned

This is 100% the next step for a society that has collapsed any semblance of a social safety net and has broken down regulations, public health and any other measures that would lessen epigenetic contributors to disability. Sicken and debilitate people, then call them useless eaters and eliminate

I see a lot of Canadians flocking to patriotism at this moment due to Trump’s threats. This is also a good moment to question what is Canada? What defines us? What is our future? To me this is a moment to reflect on Canada’s history as a project of colonization and imagine a new way forward

Existing in a time where people who mask and take other precautions against airborne viruses are crazy and people who get sick over and over and over again are normal is the most monumentally shitty failure of public health and I hate it.

90% has happened in my grandma’s lifetime. She’s still alive. We changed the world in a human lifetime and we could do it again, but in a way that gives our kids a future.

Well that’s fucking alarming. Not surprising per se, but alarming.

Expect more! It's just beginning, is the feeling I get.

sort of funny that the Wexit people have shown themselves to be so badly prepared for exactly the opportunity presenting itself right now

What crime did the person commit that merits detention? Related: it’s been three weeks since Elon Musk vigorously saluted his fellow Nazis at the inauguration

In preparation for today’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in an unheated warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the warehouse. The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million

Pfizer’s cancer drug commercial was beautiful, but their breast cancer drug Ibrance costs $10k per month and their prostate cancer drug Xtandi costs $22k per month. Beautiful commercials don’t change the fact that 42% of cancer patients exhaust their life savings in 2 years.

Israeli police have arrested two Palestinian booksellers for selling books about Palestine in Jerusalem You know who else did this kind of thing?

starting to believe that the people who campaigned to usher in a millennia of white supremacist fascist oligarchy were not as committed to the principle of free speech as the media had led voters to believe

Just in case you weren't sure — hospitalization for measles (or other infectious diseases) is serious. Not everyone spends a couple of days there, then goes home to a normal life. Some are disabled. Some die. Doctors aren't lying to you. Get your shots. www.cnn.com/2025/02/07/h...

I just helped revive someone in downtown Calgary. I saw people walking by a man lying flat on his back so I went to check and sure enough he wasn’t breathing so I started to shake him and his friend returned we took turns pumping his chest until he started breathing. My point is don’t just walk by.

Tl;dr: AHS CEO did her job to ensure that AHS was awarding contracts appropriately, discovered that the AB govt was likely giving contracts to their hockey box friends with the fake Tylenol and they fired her to keep it quiet.

I am trying to gain eight new paid subscribers for my newsletter this month. I love writing for you all, and paid subscribers make that work possible. Monthly subscriptions start at $8 per month. Can you support my work?

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

I’m sad to learn that my law school classmate, Kiah Duggins, died in the DC plane crash last night. Kiah was an exceptionally talented civil rights lawyer and aspiring legal scholar. I hope you’ll read about her work and the causes she cared about, some of which I’ll 🧵 below. What an immense loss

Never Forget Hind.

The sheer evil of these people

"Edgar Da Silva Moura, a 31-year-old computer technician, was on the flight, after seven months in detention in the United States. "On the plane they didn't give us water, we were tied hands and feet, they wouldn't even let us go to the bathroom," he told AFP." uk.news.yahoo.com/brazil-slams...

“Deport them all”, “White lives matter”: messages on signs in St. Albert this weekend held by losers making N*zi salutes. Don’t minimize this, Alberta. Call this shit out. Every time you see it. That means our political leaders too. I’m looking at you, Danielle Smith.

In case ya'all haven't figured it out yet, most Western governments don't govern for the citizens. "The arrest is the latest worrying escalation of western regimes’ war on journalists who expose Israel’s crimes against the Palestinian people, with the UK and Germany being two of the worst."

A bunch of losers went out and threw Nazi salutes in Alberta, Canada yesterday while holding racist signs. Might be time for the media to stop calling them “hand gestures” and start reporting on this big fucking problem for what it is!

Well this is scary. They’re testing these technologies out on asylum-seekers and migrants but they will expand these tools to monitor the general public www.nytimes.com/2025/01/25/t...

Can't listen to Canadians balk at American stupidity when we have provinces doing this shit. Danielle Smith created a $2 million task force full of Covid denialists and sketchy so-called experts.

Study finds acute Covid associated with a 50% ⬆️ in car crashes, vaccination was not protective "The odds ratio of car crashes associated with COVID-19 was comparable to driving under the influence of alcohol at legal limits or driving with a seizure disorder"

“As we celebrate Troy's life and mourn his loss.. funds are needed to organize a meaningful celebration of life, facilitate the donation of his possessions, cover other funeral expenses and fund an outreach day in his honour. This support will allow us to remember Troy for the..” gofund.me/f23f1f03

lots of folks saying things like, "the government won't be able to revoke your passport for no reason, that's against the law!" I help people fight unlawful government decisions for a living. please believe me when I say that the government routinely breaks the law and they mostly get away with it.

Indigenous communities predate USA and so does their diversity of human connection, including gender(-ed) relationality. The imposition of the gender binary has always been a colonial sleight.

Always and forever.

And I'm crying again. It's ok. These are tears of hope.💙

Fuck the CBC for this

If you feel like you might need a med adjustment for the sake of your mental health, please do your best to get it handled ASAP.

I would like to point out that Mark Carney who is running for Liberal leadership by building an AI economy. I don’t see how this can coincide with a robust climate policy, closing of the wealth gap or discourage the theft of people’s work—especially Indigenous

Capitalism is the leading cause of mental health issues. 💯💔

Also read classics Reading is political or else they wouldn’t be banning books
