I'm Canadian, starting my fourth year with Long Covid. I crossed the border last year to get the Novavax but this year that is not an option so no vaccine for me. MRNA vaccines are not tolerated by a lot more people than you think. Canada needs to do better.

It's still bizarre that we can't get Novavax in Canada. Cheaper, fewer side effects, at least as effective (if not moreso), provides an alternative for people who are averse to mRNA for any reason

Hopefully next year Novavax will be available in Canada 🇨🇦 🤞 Sanofi, Novavax if you're listening... 🙏🙏🙏

With instantaneous global connectivity, we were promised cultural excellence and social effervescence. Instead, we’ve been delivered an endless scroll of slop. Smartphone addictions have made us more vicious, bitter and boring. Social media has made us narcissistic. #wealthinequality

Escaping collapse also requires taxing wealth, he says, otherwise the rich find ways to rig the democratic system.

“I’d cap wealth at $10 million. That’s far more than anyone needs. A famous oil tycoon once said money is just a way for the rich to keep score. Why should we allow these people to keep score at the risk of destroying the entire planet?” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

African Elephants are my favorite land animal species, by far. During yesterday’s earthquake, my babies at the San Diego Zoo reacted to the quake, immediately protective of their most-vulnerable Community members. Humans could learn SO much from these beauties, if we’d just humble ourselves. 🐘🐘

The same damage being done to the stock market is being done to our health, securities & environment, there just isn't a stock ticker to show how bad it is for the others.

Let’s be clear. He sold $2.4 billion of his stock the day before he announced tariffs. He’s now crashing the stock market deliberately. He will then buy stock when it’s fallen through the floor. All this is is him stiffing everyone to get richer. That’s it.

What we are witnessing is not just Trump collapsing the economy and global markets, but also massive theft and fraud at a colossal scale.

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.
