Want to look through Jeffrey Epstein’s documents yourself?

We published a searchable database of the entire set of new Epstein files and emails.

Despite Trump saying this is a scam, Trump is mentioned more than anyone else. Search for yourself here: journaliststudio.google.com/pinpoint/sea...

I’ll always find it fascinating how many countries outsource their manufacturing to China, and therefore outsource their own responsibility for their % of contribution towards emissions to China.

They’re gladly to blame China for emissions that really should have been attributed to them.

With everything going on these days, it’s easy to miss when local governments get up to some sketchy stuff.

Take Vancouver, where Mayor Ken Sims is planning to eliminate the city’s sustainability and climate department!!!

Yes, really.

Canada loses measles elimination status | CBC

Mortifying and completely preventable.

Canada is currently experiencing a large, multi-jurisdictional outbreak of measles that began in October 2024 with cases in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, Saskatchewan, and the Northwest Territories. While transmission has slowed recently, the outbreak has persisted for over 12 months, primarily within under-vaccinated communities.

The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) has notified the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) that Canada no longer holds measles elimination status. PAHO's Measles and Rubella Elimination Regional Monitoring and Re-Verification Commission reviewed recent epidemiological and laboratory data, confirming sustained transmission of the same measles virus strain in Canada for a period of more than one year.

UPDATE: Canada has announced that it has lost its measles elimination status.

This is a direct result of the increase in anti-vax disinformation, which has caused large, sustained outbreaks in the country over the last year.

Oscar Isaac Was β€˜Not So Open to Working With Disney’ After Jimmy Kimmel Suspension, Said He’d Return to β€˜Star Wars’ if Disney Does β€˜Not Succumb to Fascism’ Oscar Isaac was not open to working with Disney after Jimmy Kimmel's suspension and will only return to 'Star Wars' if the studio avoids fascism.

OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars":

".. Yeah. I mean, I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great."

After almost three decades, Canada has lost its measles elimination status.

That means in 2025, this extremely contagious disease spread consistently in our country for the first time since 1998.

This was preventable, which makes it embarrassing -- in more ways than you might realize:

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.

The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.

But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

Gender, Sexuality, and Orientation We are committed to being a welcoming church that is opposed to discrimination against any person on any basis, including gender and gender identity.

Would highly recommend checking out the United Church of Canada. While imperfect (and still allowing for individual churches to choose NOT to follow the denominational policy & values) they absolutely have made and set many precedents and paved the way for others.
