This is insane. This is the government’s “independent” advisor on antisemitism. He sees four antisemitic cartoons targeting Zack Polanski. His response? To demand an end to the antisemitic targeting of Polanski? No. It’s to attack the Green Party.

never in doubt

I’m alive because I was brought back to life at a supervised consumption site. Without them: No recovery. No kids. No life. The drug supply today is even more toxic. Closing these sites doesn’t stop drug use, it stops people from surviving it. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

LA-based experimental jazz supergroup SML touched down at Joe Henderson Lab & performed 4 sold-out shows as part of this year's Noise Pop Music Festival in SF. The Afrobeat-Krautrock, collective did not disappoint. @intlanthem.bsky.social ✒️ @48hills.bsky.social 48hills.org/2026/03/nois...

Critics argue that harm reduction is hippy dippy woo & getting tough is hard science. the opposite is true & the data is very clear.
