The entire Epstein regime needs to be removed, held accountable, and sentenced to life in prison.

The world’s ten richest people — almost all Americans — saw their collective net worth increase by $220 billion in May. These ten people are now worth a combined $2.9 trillion. The bottom 50% of U.S. households, is worth $4.3 trillion. Wondering if inequality is out of control?

The only way to make the US "great again" is to return to the economics/taxes of the 1950s. Financial inequality has ruined us. To Crush Global Inequality and Secure Livable Future, Scholars Call for 90% Tax on Mega-Rich | Common Dreams www.commondreams.org/news/global-...

Susan Holt’s deputy minister of education is a danger to children. I repeat, a danger to children. Anyone who thinks AI is a benefit to kids from kindergarten to grade 12 is a danger and must be removed accordingly. The evidence shows AI harms brains, our environment & many job prospects.

"The Toll of Pediatric Long COVID" A study in Open Forum Infectious Diseases shows children with long COVID face a symptom burden that meets or exceeds other chronic health conditions. Notably, these pediatric patients report worse fatigue and sleep issues than kids with cancer or autism.

New modelling shows upgraded ventilation can sharply cut airborne exposure for staff on respiratory wards. Engineering controls matter. We need this ambition across the NHS.

Carney is not making Canadian science stronger or more globally competitive by spending $80M to recruit researchers from outside Canada while doing nothing to improve stagnant funding for researchers here and gutting DFO, Environment Canada, Ag Canada, Canadian Space Agency, etc.

The breakdown of public health under Trump & Biden puts us at greater risk from other pathogens. The continued frequency of Covid infections, which alter white blood cells & the ability to fight infections, further increases the risk of even more deadly pandemics. #Medsky

Apparently we accept the premise of MAGA and want to help. This turns my stomach. youtu.be/iZw47t8UBMU?...

Same energy. 😆 #IDUPlaybook loves to break up territories, countries and affiliations. It creates lots of opportunities to steal and grab power. Brexit was a huge objective, and a huge win, for #IDUPlaybook. The architect of Brexit is Harper's vice chair at IDU.

The fact that no one in the Epstein Files has been prosecuted for sexually abusing children is a disgrace.

For all the pandemic deniers out there: "COVID-19 pandemic inflicted a setback of historic proportions. An estimated 22.1 million excess deaths occurred between 2020 and 2023, with nearly a decade of gains in life expectancy & healthy life expectancy wiped out by 2021" iris.who.int/server/api/c...

Today is Nakba Day. The ethnic cleansing of Palestine began 78 years ago today and it has never stopped.

In NB @susanholtnb.bsky.social could have done this when she became Premier of New Brunswick. Instead she gave massive corporate welfare to billionaire corporations like Irving & Agropur while privatizing farm veterinary services, public parks, public universities, and cutting school librarians.

The irony of the Rich Right is that they loudly condemn public debt while at the same time being the major reason why there is public debt: they don't pay their fair share in taxes. Instead, they pay Right political parties and politicians who will avoid taxing them.

#Hantavirus coverage coming up on Radio-Canada (90.3fm) here in Toronto. I wonder how much less we'd be talking about it today if people had better access to respirators and clean air aboard cruise ships.

It would be good if we'd followed the playbook developed after the original sars outbreak in canada. It was right there, called for airborne protections and the precautionary principle. And it was ignored by all the capitalists in charge.

Based on what is happening in Canada, single-payer healthcare is not forever. It's taken decades to erode it through deliberate defunding. We're going to lose it because we have a first past the post electoral system and no government is defending it.

Whatever else we think about how Prime Minister Mark Carney is doing — and I’ve had no problem at all applauding him on a number of things — it’s undeniable that he’s been terrible so far on the #ClimateAction file, one of the most important leadership responsibilities of ANY national leader. #truth

Don't forget who is really coming out on top.

April 2020: That COVID posed a risk to young people was hardly some state secret.

Avi Lewis: "Look at the beginning of this document and all of the bankers at the banquet who are the private sector economists on whose forecasts everything is built. Where are the trade unions... where are the representatives of working-class people?"

8/ Let’s put a windfall tax on oil & gas companies that are projected to make $90B in profits this year because of Trump’s illegal war in Iran. Then, let’s use that money to fill up the Sovereign Wealth fund — and invest in projects that benefit Canadians instead of a few wealthy investors and CEOs.

Please help Hammam's family survive Israel's genocide, which has left them sick, starving & homeless. They've been displaced without a tent again, & desperately need help. His disabled brother Abood has a broken leg & urgently needs surgery:

Yesterday, history happened at the UN: For the first time hundreds of orgs signed a global pledge declaring that healthy indoor air is a human right. Healthy indoor air is a key tool for preventing pandemics, building climate resilience, and increasing health equity. We need it everywhere!

A reader in the GTA got in touch to ask if we know of educational opportunities for kids with long COVID. Like an independent school, learning pods, anything like that. He has a 12 y.o. with long COVID and POTS after infection two years ago. Kid needs support and can't catch COVID again. Any leads?

A New Jersey data center will reportedly receive $77 million in tax breaks — while only creating one permanent job. One job, in exchange for higher utility bills, noise pollution, and potential groundwater pollution. Is it any wonder communities are organizing to stop data centers?

The GBD said “natural immunity” would end the pandemic in 3-6 months. That didn’t happen. That’s literally all you need to know.

Jewish trauma is real. The Holocaust was real. Antisemitism is real. And none of that makes the genocide of the Palestinians and Lebanese any less real.

Emphasis matters.
