“Republicans will try to use this to say it’s illegitimate for ANY community of color to elect their candidate of choice. Not just in the South.” Election lawyer @marceelias sounds the alarm 🚨 about “the worst SCOTUS decision of my lifetime”

The Trump/Musk dismantling of USAID having very real, deadly consequences. www.commondreams.org/news/ebola-d...

Meanwhile this is just being ignored and normalized. Christian nationalism has won.

“Lobbyists will tell you it’s not that bad, urban legend… That absolutely rises to the level a national congressional investigation.” @aoc.bsky.social went with @moreperfectunion.bsky.social to a Red county where a META data center is hurting the water— as xAI impacts Memphis etc

The uncomfortable truth is that global health security is indivisible. When response systems weaken anywhere, vulnerability grows everywhere. Ebola is only exploiting the self inflicted fault lines created by the global world order. This is exactly what pathogens do.

Viruses do not recognize visas, passports, or ideology. Ebola in eastern DRC, mpox in Central Africa, H5N1, novel respiratory viruses, our safety has always depended on detecting threats early and controlling them at the source. That requires solidarity, resources, and trust.

The WHO has warned that these losses weaken outbreak surveillance &emergency response capacity globally. You cannot dismantle pieces of the global public health infrastructure, retreat from international cooperation, and then rely on border restrictions as the primary defense vs.emerging pathogens.

Over the last two years the U.S. has dramatically reduced global health engagement by cutting international health funding, stepping back from multilateral partnerships, halting WHO contributions, and ultimately withdrawing from the organization altogether while leaving substantial unpaid dues.

Travel bans do not stop viruses from spreading. Resources, global solidarity and collaboration do. News that an American missionary has tested positive for Ebola is being airlifted out of the DRC while the US rolls out travel bans is eerily reminiscent of the 2014-2016 outbreaks in W Africa.

An insidious danger lurks within all of this... Why are so many data centers being built across the country? Ask yourself, what data are they collecting? 🤨

There is no test to diagnose this variant and there is no vaccine so the only solution is to isolate the sick (& treat them as well as possible)& contact trace & quarantine the contacts UNDER MEDICAL SUPERVISION-there is no alternative & US(afraid or incompetent) is delegating this to Germany

Leaked Russian documents reveal growing strain inside Russia’s economy. And just as this is happening, Trump is again extending a sanctions waiver on Russian oil, throwing Putin another lifeline and helping fund Russia’s genocidal war

Trump uses other nations as an excuse as he TACOs.

Trump has raised the threat level against Canada. The Pentagon scrapped the Canada-US defence board which has been in place for 86 years. They hate us because we are a democratic nation that refuses to kiss their gangster ring. We remain true, north, strong and free. www.youtube.com/shorts/qiLdo...

If I were Danielle Smith I would hide my face for weeks, change my name and move to an island where no one had seen this clip. This perfectly demonstrates how she is a confident communicator with absolutely no knowledge about anything. #abpoli

Putin is heading to China, where Russia and China are expected to sign around 40 agreements and unveil a declaration on a “multipolar world.” Trump came home with no deals. The contrast is humiliating.

Periodic reminder that the Trump Administration’s decision to spit on Canada at every available opportunity has little to do with us and everything to do with distracting from a lawless, incompetent, and increasingly unpopular presidency. Friends: it’s not us, it’s them.

Maybe Democrats should, you know, impeach Trump for brazen corruption and profiting off of war crimes and now stealing OUR money to pay off January 6th insurrectionists.

Breaking news: In a win for OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, a judge dismissed all of Elon Musk’s claims against the artificial intelligence company after a jury found that Musk exceeded the statute of limitations for bringing the lawsuit.

Let’s see how many Canadians are daft enough to continue vacationing in the U.S. so that they can ingest PFAS in their drinking water and thereby develop cancer in the years to come. Why would you needlessly expose your children to such a risk? Just skip Disney World.

You have probably heard that over the weekend someone in Colorado died from the hantavirus, but please note: that this case is connected to rodents and not to the cruise ship. So, for the sake of your health: stay away from cruise ships, and stay away from rodents too.

Today, vía Drudge. The UFO 🛸 Distraction.

An American doctor is among the newest cases in rare Ebola outbreak in Congo apnews.com/article/cong... U.S. gutted the surveillance systems meant to catch viruses 🦠 like Ebola early.

I really do think Trump misheard Talarico saying "cisgender" as "six genders," and that's just a thing he says now. The first person I saw make this observation deleted the post saying it, but yeah.

If you’re having AI do your brainstorming, “your brainstorming muscles are going to get weaker,” the MS NOW host Chris Hayes tells @cwarzel.bsky.social. They discuss the possible effects of letting AI take over creative and generative thinking: www.youtube.com/watch?v=da8U...

And now they want to give him a big payout w your money!

I am not an expert on these things but it seems politically fraught for the president to use our tax dollars to pay off the people who stormed the U.S. Capital at the same time his tariffs and war are making everything we buy more expensive.

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

The normalization of far-right ideas continues as Curtis Yarvin and Lauren Southern are invited to a glitzy tech conference in Vancouver - which several Canadian politicians also attended. Full story here, no paywall: thetyee.ca/News/2026/05...

Trump is not playing with a full deck.

C’mon County of Lambton, Let’s go. Why not check out what the County of Simcoe is doing for those who are homeless?

Trump just stole $1.8B. He’s going to give it to his business, his kids, and people like Flynn, Eastman, Giuliani, and the Oath Keepers. He’s doing this without court approval or Congress. This is a crime, but there’s no one to prosecute it because the DoJ is in on it.

So it WOULD destroy Trump? Thanks LG.

I’m confident the Democratic Party has not even remotely thought creatively enough about the whirlwind of lawlessness and scorched-earth tactics the GOP is prepared to unleash in its effort to steal the coming elections.

The fact that #Republicans keep covering up Trump’s decompensating demented personality-disordered brain, demonstrates how unfit, corrupt and unable the #GOP is to serve any public interest whatsoever. Many media outlets are also complicit in sane-washing this dangerously unfit felon.

The Epstein Republicans need to get out of Canadian politics. Trump says he'll own us. PP is working with him to make this real. Albertans who love Republican policies can move there. The same blue collar, minimal education fans are corrupting Canada's politics. Maple MAGA.

"A scale of family separations that far eclipses that of the first Trump administration’s 'zero tolerance' policy in 2018, when about 5,500 children were removed from their parents..." www.nytimes.com/2026/05/18/u...

NEW: Trump just hit the lowest approval rating among Hispanics in the HISTORY of this poll.

I really don’t think this settlement maneuver is legal and a lot of the coverage seems to be willing to assume that it is

Cuba's president warns of 'bloodbath' if US takes military action

There’s no way Trump could have won his frivolous lawsuit against the IRS in court. There’s no way the J6 criminals and conspirators could have won any lawsuits in court. But they didn’t have to, because Trump installed his criminal defense lawyer to steal our money for them.

Honest Americans aren’t allowed to gobble up cash from a US Treasury trough, but these unscrupulous liars can. Welcome to Trump’s corrupt and greedy America!

taking tax dollars to pay insurrectionists. which (by the way) the 14th amendment is supposed to prohibit: "[N]either the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States...."
