This is the life-saving work that the Trump Regime is doing its best to destroy.

There’s a reason hate mongers and disinformationists like #AndrewLawton are so concerned. They want no consequences for their hate entrepreneurship, disinformation spreading and destabilization efforts against 🇨🇦’s civil society. bsky.app/profile/heat... #cdnpoli

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

"Nations aren’t made of clumps of earth or of drops of blood. They are made of stories, images and memories in people’s minds. The memory of the Russian invasion [and] atrocities and of Ukrainian sacrifices, will continue to sustain Ukrainian patriotism for generations to come." on.ft.com/3KmyOLS

Trump is a national embarrassment and an international menace.

Tried to get my real ID. I had my license, my SS card and my birth certificate. I was not allowed to get my real ID because my birth name is different than my married name. Now I have to go dig up a marriage certificate. You know who wouldn’t have to do this? A man. Never change your last name.

I feel like it’s a good time to remind everyone that Hillary was right. About everything.

This will not play well with American critics of the Canadian public healthcare system. "SickKids named world's best pediatric hospital" www.cp24.com/local/toront...

Trump and his MAGA fans will not find what they are looking for in this white male college-age shooter with no criminal or political record, raised by a Republican family in Utah, who realized, all on his own, that Charlie Kirk's main activity was spreading hatred. www.thespec.com/news/world/m...

Grateful @davidgilbert.bsky.social covered this. I NEVER celebrated anyone’s murder. I said I was terrified the far-right would use this as an excuse to retaliate, and they’re proving me right with every post. These guys are out for blood. They don’t care whose. This is really bad.
