Funding pledges for Ebola outbreak almost halved, Africa CDC says reut.rs/3Rs8cN4

This reveal and the news yesterday— about Meta having shipped the code for facial recognition in their glasses—should be understood as very deeply intertwined.

Breonna Taylor would have been 33 years old today..... If she hadn't been murdered by Louisville police officers.

I love having a prime minister who completely buys into the tech industry’s framing of AI, such that he’s throwing billions of dollars at AI companies and pushing more Canadians into relying on their shitty products. To him, the core issue is “engagement and adoption,” regardless of the drawbacks.

This will impact the rights of probably every Indigenous person here, and yet despite all the talk about "reconciliation" and UNDRIP... crickets. They don't even bother with the token gestures anymore, just "adopt it or be left behind". Oh hey where have we heard that before...

"double the electricity grid by 2050" ... just sit with a moment as to what that actually means. Electricity needs to be generated, it doesn't just magically "happen". And Canada's big plans to do so is all about burning more natural gas, building more nuclear plants, flooding more Indigenous lands.

it would be one thing is this didn't directly violate so many treaties, impact so many lands, disrupt so many cultures, steal so many jobs, create forms of psychosis and unhealthy attachements... etc etc etc. It's like the more you point out the obvious absurdity the more people in power double down

and on any major public platform if you dare to point out how fundamentally fucked this entire "AI revolution" is (lol) you'll be deemed a heretic, burned at the stake by the fires of the righteous who maintain the faith that "AI" will "save us all".

... and worse, they are forcing "AI agents" on children and youth under some sort of vaguely defined notion of "AI literacy" (aka. product dependancy). But don't worry, they'll "reduce harm" (somehow) by increasing "safety" (or something). What a joke bsky.app/profile/jeff...

wild how this entire "strategy" is just a document outlining how the federal government is partnering with corporations to create dependancies on their products. There's no option for people to say "no thanks", only "YOU MUST ADOPT AI [or else]". Imagine replacing "AI" with "tobacco" in this doc...

"Indigenous partners" tho 🙃

There is no non-eugenicist, non-fascist reason for this

It is irresponsible to publish this allegation without then attempting to verify or disprove it

That WIRED article is beyond words…. Jfc

“no reasonable alternatives to prevent the introduction or spread of the disease in Canada are available”… “So we’ve decided to ignore the advice of public health experts and do the thing that they say is unnecessary, I guess” Ok cool 👍👌 Good job, folks.

“the geopolitical optics are ugly. The establishment of this facility communicates a deeply cynical message to our African partners: the U.S. views the continent not as a partner to be supported, but as a dangerous buffer zone to absorb American bio-risk.” www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/the-...

I just have sooooo many questions

“The binary btwn “good cop” and “bad ICE” launders the everyday carnage of police + prisons. Even further, there is no material or ideological distinction between ICE and police; both are an extension of the anti-Black warfare waged since the country’s founding” www.bostonreview.net/articles/how...

The Department of National Defence quietly inked a $3.7-million contract last year with American data giant Palantir, newly released documents show. It’s the latest in what some experts see as the government’s deepening links to the controversial U.S. tech firm.

Here is the travel ban like clockwork 😕 even the WHO advises against these — they fuel racism, endanger people, and just make western pearl-clutchers feel like public health is “working” when this does nothing sustainably helpful to stop transmission or support the people most affected

Here's the official press release: "Government of Canada introduces temporary border measures in response to the Ebola disease outbreak" www.canada.ca/en/public-he...

Spoke with @youcaughtscott.com about why we need to expand the public health imaginary beyond the status quo if we want any chance in hell of dealing with pandemics and outbreaks in the future (and the ones in front of us). Because there won’t be fewer of them. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/t...

NEW: Lots of ink has been spilled about the spread and mitigation of hantavirus. Is this the new pandemic? No. But coverage of hantavirus reveals much about COVID in the year 2026. @sharpflower.bsky.social joins me to discuss news media coverage and the state of public health. Listen now: #cdnpoli

This is a real thing off the website of “nuenergy/.ai”, the company the Canadian government has given millions of dollars to in exchange for we-don’t-really-know 🤗

I am so glad these atrocities are reported but I want people to also be angry that this has been happening to Palestinians for decades and we need to feel outraged about their pain and dignity too

😐 we will look back at alllllllllllllllllllll the red flags us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

“…we are worse off now to handle infectious disease threats than at the start of Covid-19. Hantavirus [and] Ebola are terrible, serious diseases but they are not as transmissible as some other infectious disease threats we could face.…” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

CDC has updated its weekly measles report. 1943 cases (not from travel) so far this year, now in 39 states. There were 2263 cases total in 2025. #IDsky #Episky #MMR #vaccines #publichealth #outbreak #pediatrics

I think there’d be great use for a media guide about *how* to talk about airborne spread of measles/influenza/TB/COVID etc. because we’re still at “spreads through coughs and sneezes” which is misleading (esp when transmission is rarely ever explained in detail) www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/5/...

The incredible labour of keeping receipts. “Advice such as handwashing, surface disinfection and social distancing was not as important as face masks and adequate indoor ventilation. People needed to know that poor ventilation constituted the highest risk…” www.mdpi.com/2073-4433/17...

Pretty relevant study. Over 700 cases analyzed, myocarditis incidence surged during the start of the pandemic and remained high. Older African American are the most affected ones. Vaccine-associated myocarditis not likely a contributor. Can we really say we are living a post-pandemic era? #COVID

Some thoughtful person provided a link to a non-paywalled version of this article: gcaptain.com/drowning/

At least one woman is now in limbo after US officials moved her to Kinshasa, the capital of the DRC, and now say they won’t bring her back because of the Ebola travel ban – despite a judge’s order for her return. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

"So far 51 cases have been confirmed in the DRC in the northern provinces of Ituri and North Kivu, including in the cities of Bunia and Goma, although we know the scale of the epidemic in DRC is much larger", says @drtedros.who.int at @who.int presser on #Ebola outbreak.

All forms of oppression—transphobia, racism, sexism, worker exploitation, etc—ultimately result in disability or death. Oppressors disable targeted group or redefine them as disabled, then wait for ableist society to abandon them. You must be actively anti-ableist to be effectively pro-liberation.

Liberals are playing legal hardball with First Nations over drinking water. They're pulling the plug on settlement talks, seeking to overturn First Nations' victories and using tactics their own guideline advises lawyers against. ijb.utoronto.ca/news/liberal...

WHO rep: ‘Significant uncertainty’ about how far Ebola has spread www.cidrap.umn.edu/ebola/who-re...

“Also appearing with Southern on a panel discussing the growth of podcasts was Bret Weinstein, an evolutionary biologist (and podcaster) who helped falsely popularize using ivermectin to treat COVID and used his time at the conference to claim that vaccines are dangerous.” 😒😒

“'This is the most striking example so far of how much the dissolution of USAID and destruction of CDC’s role around the world is threatening our national security,' said Stephanie Psaki, who was U.S. coordinator for global health security" under Biden. 🧵1/4 www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...

Starting today (May 13, 2026), the @cityofvancouver.bsky.social FIFA World Cup 2026 Bylaw is in effect. Before & during FIFA, you can expect intensified surveillance, increased enforcement of both new & existing bylaws, & the largest deployment of law enforcement in Vancouver’s history. 1/3
