Trans rights are human rights 🏳️‍⚧️ #ProtectTransKids #ABpoli

For months, Premier Smith denied any plans to use the notwithstanding clause. Now, internal government docs prove otherwise. Behind closed doors, Alberta is preparing to strip away Charter rights to push through harmful amendments to Bills 26, 27 & 29. Read our statement: egale.ca/egale-in-act...

Can confirm this is happening in AB, and getting worse. Some sites have > 1/4 leaving the ED without being seen... and we have good data that show some of them are really sick and/or have NO OTHER care options. This will get worse this fall and winter AB🧵 buff.ly/PP1X3Ox

The AB gov’t appealed the injunction against trans health care bans, but is now bypassing its opportunity to argue the reasonableness of *all* its anti-trans laws via the notwithstanding clause. This reveals a lack of confidence in its claim that it is “protecting” trans and gender diverse youth.

kind of incredible...what masks, distancing and school closures did to influenza activity early in the pandemic. Dashed line is pandemic onset in Ontario. Red=flu B, blue = flu A. Masking and closures are not sustainable population level strategies, but cleaning indoor air (same result) is.

NEW STORY: The push to 'conservatize' Calgary's public school board. Six CBE trustee candidates have campaign materials that look identical—so we took a closer look. #yyccc #ableg

If anyone feels like they have a few bucks to spare (I know, I know, but it’s for Terry ❣️🇨🇦); our kids’ school is having a Terry Fox Run this year! It’s just a small school - not even 200 kids . . . thought I’d post here in case anyone felt like making a donation. tia 🙏 ♥️ schools.terryfox.ca/97614

It's pure choas, and only getting worse. We're heading into a very dangerous fall/winter season in dissarray, with a leadership structure that is mostly appointed "acting" inexperienced leads... w their prime focus being the goal of not getting fired like all the rest! 5/7

New report from @ember-energy.org finds the world installed 380GW of new solar power in the first six months of this year, which is up 64 percent from the same period last year. Which was of course a record-breaking pace, because that's all solar does now is break records and blow past forecasts

Great news 🎉, David has now posted this 🎯 blog article on his website too: COVID Isn’t a Cold. It’s Cigarettes All Over Again (Sept 7, 2025) www.notesforfriends.com/p/covid-isnt...

CCS members Rebecca Lewkowicz and Dr. Susan Kuo are featured in this article about long Covid in children. Rebecca shares her son's extreme pain & nausea from long Covid, and Dr. Kuo discusses the lack of awareness of children's long Covid among doctors. Gift article: www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

Another honest question: Why not be honest about how COVID damages immune systems & organs, how you need to wear a mask in addition to being vaccinated, & that we need clean indoor air in hospitals, schools, workplaces, & all public buildings?

United States 523,755 people with COVID were tracked in 2022–2023. About 46–61% of adults and 33–47% of children developed long COVID within a year. Risk was highest in older, sicker patients, but overall rates did not rise during Omicron. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I will die on this hill: it isn’t hard to say “at the height of the pandemic” or “at the start of COVID” during a podcast interview. Producers, hosts, don’t let your guests say “during COVID” like this thing is over. Correct them. Ask them to say the sentence again. This is your job.

The UCP are facing a constitutional challenge for their regressive policies on names and pronoun in schools. This is a separate action from the gender affirming care action that has seen an injunction placed against the Alberta govt. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Big scoop from @jack-farrell.bsky.social and @reportrix.bsky.social at The Canadian Press www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

BREAKING! A senior member of the UCP administration has been served legal notice for their online activities! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Breakenridge: Blame for disastrous school book ban lies squarely with who issued the order

"Long COVID is more than fatigue. Our new study suggests its impact is similar to a stroke or Parkinson’s" "We show long COVID isn’t just uncomfortable or inconvenient. People with the condition told us it can profoundly limit their daily life" theconversation.com/long-covid-i...

I’m one of 7 people I know in the Northeast with Covid right now, and none of us thought we had it. Test if you think you have anything at all, and mask up. #Covid www.huffpost.com/entry/covid-...

Just gonna scream into the void with a blast from the 2024 past--how many more children are going to develop Long COVID this year? What are you going to do to protect your kids? Are you building Corsi-Rosenthal boxes? Talking to your school administration? www.cbsnews.com/news/million...

Schilling: yes job action causes anxiety. But underfunding is harming students and teachers “can’t accept that.” “I think parents should be challenging the government about why they are undervaluing education” and the people working with kids, he said “It’s a choice to fund education in this way.”

I have many thoughts about this list of books but for now I’ll just say contact your MLA, the premier, the minister of education and your school trustee if you are also mad.

🐿️ Reminder: Alberta's UCP budget deficit now at $6.5B

This should be a bigger story than it seems to be right now. I know every day seems to be a new headline grabbing attention, but if this were any other government in #Alberta or #Canada, we’d be seeing protests over this kind of gerrymandering. #ABleg edmontonjournal.com/opinion/colu...

Seriously dangerous ground move by UCP open.substack.com/pub/queergra...

1/ I don’t know how to say this without sounding harsh, but I need you to hear it. COVID — or SARS-2 — is not “just another cold.” It doesn’t leave you the same. Every reinfection stacks damage: brain, heart, immune system.

11/ Mask. Filter. Ventilate. Test. Repeat. It’s not complicated. It’s survival.

Braid: UCP's $100 fee for COVID vaccination is wrong and dangerous

21/ If you call COVID “over,” but can’t explain excess mortality, you’ve mistaken silence for safety.

1/ Just because you have a PhD in health or science doesn’t mean you know shit about health or science. 🧵
