The Americas, led by Canada, is on the brink of losing measles-elimination status The Americas is the only region of the world to have stopped endemic transmission of measles. But its victory is on the verge of being rolled back.

“Canada has recorded more than 5,100 confirmed & probable measles cases in 2025, and two deaths of babies born with congenital measles who were infected in utero. The country hasn’t seen this scale of measles transmission in decades”

We can all but eradicate measles if people do their part:

Halloween is the community food sharing event with the best PR.

A lot of “pro life” people seem awfully fine with children going hungry next month.

It’s not “pro life” to cut off their food assistance.

It’s not “pro life” to blame the parents & say they should have made better choices.

You’re letting kids starve. It’s despicable.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Every one deserves to eat. It’s that simple.

AI = fascism

Yesterday, @tjheffernan.bsky.social echoed some of my own thoughts about AI. I have more to say about this.

I love how my brain decides that the "balance" to an evening of fun, flirty texting is to give me nightmares where I'm hiding my family from an armed fascist takeover of my city and I've got some hiding spots but they have heat-mapping drones.

Time to pivot to guerilla docs. You hold the mic, I'll shoulder the camera. Every revolution needs documentarians.

i’d love for cis folks to remember what the nyt, atlantic, guardian, daily mail, times of london, ny post, cnn, wall street journal, & economist took from your transgender neighbors & loved ones before the next time you consider giving them money or listening to a word they say.

i love being a native woman !!! protect and love the native women in your life !! send them money !!!

This is my main takeaway from @aclu.org's recent training for protesters: if questioned by law enforcement officers, confine your responses to these five sentences. Otherwise, STFU. Five Key Phrases Am I free to go? I wish to remain silent. I do not consent to this search. Am I under arrest? I want to speak to a lawyer.

Good morning all. Glory to your protests. #NoKings #NoFascists

Did you know that a typhoon just hit Alaska & displaced over 1,000 people and washed away entire communities?

If your media isn't covering this, it's bc these are Indigenous communities.

Rosie the Riveter poster only it’s the Portland frog and it reads: Rosie the Ribbeter says We Can Do It! She has a no kings button, and where it said War Production Department in original, war is now Peace production.

On Monday, Pierre Poilievre shared his party’s petition to “end DEI” and “restore the merit principle.”

Just before that, another Conservative MP posted that “Canada must now place restrictions on birthright citizenship”
