consider getting your news coverage and commentary from the cool kids, idk 💅

Bahaha - you crack me up

The problem isn't trans people and immigrants it's billionaires and fascists.

This is oligarchy. This is obscene.

While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%.

End this oligarchy.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

People really do not get how AI works...

I'll be talking about Pride Puppy with Ali Velshi on MSNBC today. #VelshiBannedBookClub

YES!

THIS. Alberta's government is listening to a far-right Christian nationalist group- Action 4 Canada, a group that promotes anti-LGBTQ hate- while ignoring the expertise of the teachers and librarians who work in the provinces' public schools.

Cool. Of course it's cats so how they use that info is up to them lol

I listened to this on the way to the office today and it was such an antidote to the usual drek that is today’s news.

A great explanation of the misinformation being created by Justice Gorsuch at SCOTUS - WHICH IS SO FUCKING APPALLING - and how it contributes to book bans...and why that's a problem.

The MAHA Report Cites Studies That Don’t Exist The Trump administration’s “Make America Healthy Again” report misinterprets some studies and cites others that don’t exist, according to the listed authors.

RFK Jr's "MAHA" report is filled with references to studies that literally do not exist, or that completely misinterpret the studies' findings.

“We did not publish a paper.. on this topic with that co-author group, or with that title,” says one cited researcher.

U.S. senators urge Canada to ‘give us another chance’ on trade, tourism - National | Globalnews.ca Republican and Democratic U.S. senators who visited Ottawa this past weekend say they want to bolster the Canada-U.S. relationship despite U.S. President Donald Trump's trade war.

"Come on, baby, I know I said you were worthless and I didn't need you and I made jokes about leaving you nonstop, but I swear I'm a nice guy, baby, gimme a second chance, pleeeease"

"Patients that were seen at the gender clinic before the age of 18 had a lower risk of suicide compared to those referred as an adult.”

Wow! 🤯 That is crazy.

Geez. It all goes together. I do take some comfort in the fact that the majority of people are in the 3 shots plus category.

Review bombing sucks. Pride Puppy has had great reviews since 2021- and now, thanks to Neal Gorsuch, Moms 4 Bigotry, and Fox News, over 20% are one star reviews saying horrible things. But also, I am so grateful to all these lovely folks who have actually read our book and called out the haters 💜

Trump admin anti-trans snitch site targeted Canadian doctors ⋆ The Breach Canadian jurisdictions were included on a U.S. ‘whistleblower’ form targetting trans care providers—and then were quietly removed after media enquiries

Canadian jurisdictions were listed on a U.S. gov’t site that encouraged snitching on doctors providing trans health care.

After journalist Ophélie Dénommée-Marchand pressed the department about it, those jurisdictions were quietly removed.

Her story: breachmedia.ca/trump-admin-...

"That was but a prelude; where they burn books, they will ultimately burn people as well"-Jewish writer Heinrich Heine on his play Almansor, 1821.

NEWS Transgender female runner who beat 14,000 women placed 6,159th at London Marathon offers to give participation medal back when you see these sorts of headlines, ask yourself — what kind of story is the media trying to create? how do they want me to react? is this really news, or just a desperate attempt to stir up transphobia and boost ratings?

Fox News is always so desperate.

unless I can buy "guaranteed won't get detained and sent to a concentration camp" vouchers for me and a few million other people that's a no for me dog

My aunt, the doctor,
told me a new joke.
She asked:

What happens
when your country shuts down
the Centers for Disease Control’s
infection control committee?

I said I did not know,
so she added.

Your country becomes
the center for diseases.

And then neither of us laughed.

How My LGBTQ Kids’ Book Ended Up at the U.S. Supreme Court - Macleans.ca My book Pride Puppy is about love and inclusion. Watching its message get twisted by hate and misinformation has been devastating.

Great article by @robinstevenson.bsky.social

This was the coolest display of tree age. It’s a cross-section of a tree trunk labeled with world events that occurred at the same time as the ring of growth. At the center, MACHU PICCHU BUILT!! All at the Malahat Skywalk, which provided spectacular views on this beautiful day. #yyj
