Methinks a key Q is why equality isn't yet clocked as 'centrist': "The one thing that can stop the rise of the far right is the one thing mainstream parties are currently not prepared to deliver: greater equality....there is no other way." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It's like a twisted version of "every time a bell rings, an angel gets its wings" lol. Well said, friend.

"I do not know of any salvation for society except through eccentrics, misfits, dissenters, people who protest." — William O. Douglas, U.S. Supreme Court justice

So the anti-vax organization founded by the current HHS secretary is hosting a dark mirror bullshit clone of the CDC’s website. No wonder they were in such a hurry to delete the CDC’s data.

"Prior to entering politics, (Minister Kamal Khera) attended York U. where she earned an Hon. BSc in Nursing. She went on to work as a registered nurse in the palliative and oncology units at St. Joseph’s Health Centre in Toronto." Wise choice & excellent power-sharing move @mark-carney.bsky.social

This study was so much fun to do, please enjoy reading about gibbon teeth👇

Does anyone have any insight on tracking down people who were detained at the border? I just crossed over the Canadian border at Niagara Falls and someone I was sitting with was held back and the train left without them. I wasn't able to get their name. Any assistance would be incredibly helpful

How a University Fights an Authoritarian Regime: By speaking out to the public, especially about NIH and the loss of medical research. From @chronicle.com yesterday. See thread in quote for more.

I’m really thrilled to announce that I will join the University of British Columbia in September as an Assistant Professor in @ubcmath.bsky.social and @ubcmicroimmuno.bsky.social! Please get in touch if you might be interested in graduate studies or postdoctoral research opportunities!

"Belief perseverance causes some people to aggressively hold their original position... There is no time to argue with people who remain cognitively confused. The majority of Canadians are ready to have a laser-focused discussion about the real security challenges on the horizon."

"The question the embattled university president asked [me], in effect, was how a university fights an authoritarian regime." "I told him to frame his fight to gain as many allies as he can." Note FIGHT. Universities must act. Keeping their heads down won't work. 1/4 www.chronicle.com/ar...

I really don't think you can make this stuff up - eggs not fentanyl being smuggled across the Canadian border - and the new Samuel L Jackson blockbuster, "Eggs on a Plane" (which I may have made up, but you know you want to hear him say the thing) www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

"autocracy rode down the escalator a decade ago..." It's funny, but it's not at all funny. For me this book is empowering for unpacking the decades leading to that escalator of a decade ago & to right now. Maybe listen to the audiobook while hitting the streets! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evil_Ge...

Two NSFW documentaries, 2024's Teaches of Peaches🍁🇩🇪 + 2023's The Disappearance of Shere Hite🗽, might seem as unexpected bookends, but both illuminating films pwn themes of #internationalwomansday #IWD2025 #march Thanks for the free access @kanopyofficial.bsky.social & saskatoonlibrary.ca #YXE

Here in Canada that are so many fabulous life & biomedical scientists running federally funded research labs that would welcome talented trainees from abroad. Reach out to us, folks!

This is pretty amazing, not only for the higher award levels but also that eligible applicants include Canadian citizens & permanent residents, & now, Protected Persons & International students. Our evo-devo-anthro lab is also looking for excellent new trainees, so for sure, please reach out!

"We stand with our US colleagues during this challenging period.

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

I think the TL:DR is, 'Let's just not do this': "Team Trump’s sycophants somehow seem to believe that the Canadians would surrender quickly & quietly. They have never been to a hockey game. If this all sounds...familiar, it is because that is the exact plan...Putin had for his invasion of Ukraine."

Trump just withdrew the bad CDC nominee after public blowback about the measles vaccine. Scientists, we can achieve the same with the bad NIH nominee. Public pressure can force out Bhattacharya. Your voices are needed now. Please take action. 🧪
