It’s infuriating that someone who doesn’t have a license to practice medicine can be Surgeon General.

But there’s a bigger issue with Casey Means… the wellness to eugenics pipeline.

They’re setting the stage to blame the disabled for being sick.

Just wait.

Ofelia Torres, teen who fought to have her father released from ICE custody, dies from rare cancer Ofelia Torres, 16, died on Friday from Stage 4 alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer, her father's lawyer confirmed.

A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.

This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.

Not one dime for this cruelty.

In Minnesota ICE shot and/or killed far too many people; unconstitutionally detained thousands more; improperly used excessive force; deployed tear gas and supposedly nonlethal munitions on peaceful protesters; violated hundreds of court orders; and zip tied children

And Homan wants a thank you?!?

For those of you keeping score at home, the actual cut to the Post newsroom was 45%, not the widely reported one third. Remaining journalists are a bit over 400, down from around 1100 four years ago and 580 when Bezos bought the place.

Now he's anti bike a la Ford and Trump, vying for votes at the expense of our safety and a needless culture war. I think if we, the cycling community, brought Brad into office it's incumbent upon us to take him out. Call out his lies, donate to the ward candidate opposing his chosen successor, and target his mayoral campaign relentlessly.John Tory can you please run, at least we know what you stand for.#flipflop #phony #SadSadford

Brad Bradford is in no small measure responsible for the de-prioritization of bike lane snow removal. His spotless comments preceding the recent storm came at the expense of our safety.

Imagine the audacity of running for mayor complaining about things that you are responsible for?

Imagine squirming so badly for daddy Ford's approval that you'd sacrifice the safety of people who put you in office (with zero experience in anything) for your own ambition 1/2

RFK Jr. appointee Kirk Milhoan has just clearly stated, out loud, that he wants to experiment on the people of the United States by seeing what happens as vaccination coverage plummets and infectious diseases spread.

We know what measles does w/o vaccine protection. The vaccine came in 1963, AKA living memory. We’ve seen outbreaks since in unprotected settings. Just as there was no mystery about syphilis solved by the racist Tuskeegee experiment there’s nothing here to be discovered beyond suffering and sorrow.

He starts off posing as classy, with a 4 line paragraph containing perfunctory praise for the speech and ending with a lie: β€œConservatives, as always, are ready to work with [the Prime Minister] …”
Then he goes on to spew no less than 34 paragraphs of vitriolic criticisms of the PM …

The petulant peewee piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre is SO predictable🀭
Prime Minister Mark Carney gives a speech that’s lauded around the world.
So the piffleswipe decides he needs to issue an instant response as if there were an election underway….

It's a tell and a timesaver. Everything said after can be evaluated accordingly.

And foreign news use it now with no understanding of the source or original meaning, and without clarifying what it's used to mean now.

The worst are using it as a noun (e.g. backlash against woke). Cannot stand it.

ICE live updates: JD Vance defends five-year-old being detained by ICE in Minnesota Anti-ICE protests are ongoing in Minneapolis after a federal agent shot and killed Renee Good

β€œSo the story is that ICE detained a five-year-old? What are they supposed to do? Are they supposed to let a five-year-old child freeze to death?"

Don't use the child as bait

Don't paint yourself as commendable in indefensible situations

The attitude shows how little they value humanity

You gotta love this photo. It's not AI. It's real. And near everyone on the planet outside of Canada will have no idea what's going on, why, or what it means. The day before, Carney was Davos Man, who had seized the world's attention. Now this. It looks like a hallucination.
