This should be criminal because it’s puts patients actually enrolled in the trial at risk without any potential benefit due to an unpowered trial due to enrolling patients without the disease and non-adherence. Shame on this involved.

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia. Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.” Really listen to it.

I watched the WaPo breakdown of Ross's footage, & I think Ross was angry because the two women spoke cheerfully & confidently to him; they were not intimidated as he wanted them to be, so he felt insulted. Hence the "f**g b**ch" comment after he shot her. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

World’s richest 1% have already used fair share of emissions for 2026, says Oxfam

Wearing a mask during a pandemic was not tyranny. Having to get vaccinated during the same pandemic was also not tyranny. Shooting people point blank for not exiting their vehicle IS tyranny. Supporting state sanctioned murder is tyranny. Learn the difference.

All these news are dragging me down, can't wait for #Caturday...

The tragic death of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old mother fatally shot by ICE, shows that ICE can’t be reformed and must be abolished. I’ll be introducing the Abolish ICE Act as a step toward justice, accountability, and humanity in our immigration policy. Time to melt ICE.

“Copenhagen reported that 62% of its residents are now commuting to work or school by bike — an increase from 52% in 2015 & 36% in 2012, when the City Council launched a 14-year-plan to improve the quality, safety & comfort of cycling.” #Copenhagen chose. They keep choosing even better every year.

@Canadians: I just signed this. Thanks Nate Erskine-Smith for resisting profit in health care. Two stages for these parliamentary petitions: check your email after signing. Can take up to a day to come through. Weirdly bad system.

On day 8 of our Administration, @governor.ny.gov and I announced the beginning of universal childcare in NYC. No longer will New Yorkers be forced to choose between starting a family and continuing to live in the city they love. This only happened because of you.

“When I speak about making our city more affordable, my vision is not limited to the homes that we live in or the child care that we’re making universal — it’s also a vision where we make it possible for working people to afford lives of joy, of art, of rest, of expression.”

Exceptional work @cameronkasky.bsky.social

There is one overriding political problem, from which all others follow. Until it is addressed, every policy advanced by governments is window dressing. www.theguardian.com/inequality/2...

Between flu and back-to-school, here's a refresher on masks. All masks work N95s work best In health care, N95s work best when you wear them continuously. Targetting risk is less effective. Anecdotally, the number of times I've learned something in an encounter & been grateful for my N95...

remember:

Se réjouir de l’enlèvement illégal d’un chef d’État étranger et célébrer la prise de contrôle d’un autre pays par les États-Unis est irresponsable et dangereux. Le Canada ne peut pas choisir quand le droit international s’applique. Sinon, les règles ne protègent personne.

In 2026, I'll still be #oneofthetwo because I rely on my health to work & I think everyone should be able to access public spaces as safely as possible. I'm one of the three when I'm with my family & one of the seven with extended family. There are many people taking infection control seriously.

Each semester I go in my classroom and I try to figure out what we would use to block the doors, if it would be safe to crawl out the windows, where we could hide if there was a mass shooter in campus. It’s such an indictment of this country how we have normalized these preventable tragedies.

“Dutch people cycle an average of 2.6km each per day. If this pattern was replicated worldwide, annual carbon emissions would drop by 686 million tonnes. This mammoth figure exceeds the entire carbon footprint of most countries, including the UK, Canada, Saudi Arabia and Australia.” @euronews.com
