"All these doomers and forever maskers saying that COVID somehow disrupts immune function. There is no evidence of that"
Isn't there, though? ISN'T THERE?
"Circumstantial. Correlation is not causation". Correct. Just as wilful ignorance is not the same as skepticism.

In case it wasn't clear enough. #LongCOVID isn't going away. It isn't getting better. And yes, the 2026 numbers just keep going up (see ALT). We need #CleanAir and for #PublicHealth to do its damn job. Wearing a mask shouldn't be taboo. Condemning people to #MECFS hell should not be okay. #CdnPoli

Sign Canada’s Digital Sovereignty Charter Canadian democracy is under threat. Algorithms and deceptive content are shaping what we see, think, and share, while foreign tech giants collect our data without limits. Our current laws and digital systems aren’t strong enough to protect us. This leaves Canadian voices, our choices, and our digital identities at risk. Parliament must step up and champion Canada’s Digital Sovereignty Charter now to protect our democracy and our digital future. Endorse the Digital Sovereignty Charter yourself today! Write to your member of parliament here: https://action.openmedia.org/page/186119/action/
@openmedia.org Made a one-pager for you. The future of our democracies depend on digital sovereignty. To everyone else reading this: Write to your member of parliament here: action.openmedia.org/page/186119/...

The urgency grows…
"The US had the scale (and the public subsidies) to “win”, but what a hollow victory it has shoved on the rest of us: monopolistic, big tech run amok. Like big tobacco and big oil before it, Silicon Valley has saddled us with the costs: overpowered democratic systems..."
Urgently.

"Minitel was overtaken by the internet not because the gvt brought it to life, but because France Télécom insisted on end-to-end control to monetise it—exactly the same mechanism behind the way that tech monopolies have “enshittified” the modern internet." #DigitalSovereignty #ElbowsUp

Wild that an immunologist would still hesitate: Like thinking—as many Koreans still do—that having a fan on while you sleep can kill you:
- Just to be safe, let's turn off the fan.
- But it's 42 degrees!
- Still. Just in case.
- ??!! Fine.
The broader point is an important one, however:

Yeah. Real classy.
Jingoism's taught early and often in Murica. Deep down, they still think they're the Greatest Country On Earth™—they're just going through a rough patch.
Trump's regime ends as soon as Americans decide it does. They just can't be bothered.
YOU = S.A.
We = Remember.

And the jingoistic U-S-A is out of MAGA's playbook. Not cute, gross.
Reminder: this ends as soon as Americans decide it does. A general strike, pressure on the HANDFUL of politicians you'd need to cross the aisle. SOMETHING. But no. It stops at virtue-signaling.
While the world burns.
YOU: S.A.
The jingoism.
The empty symbolism.
The performative bullshit.
U!S!A! is an ugly, ugly chant. Always has been. The rest of the world always cringed at it. Now? We shake our heads at your collective IMPOTENCE and COMPLICITY.
YOU: S.A.
While everybody, everywhere pays.
So no. Not cool.
I keep wondering: What would Foglia write. How would he snap us out of our lethargy?

"A few words about Trump. He has everything it takes to be hated by Foglia"—LaPresse 1988
Pierre Foglia (1940-2025) was the most masterful columnist to ever take pen to paper. Of course he knew what Trump really was—anyone paying attention did
We could really use him now
No one

NEWS: Goldman Sachs’ top lawyer Kathryn Ruemmler has RESIGNED after newly released emails exposed a years-long personal relationship with Jeffrey Epstein — including advising him on handling sex crime accusations, media scrutiny, and accusers.

Amazing how complacent everyone remains.
It's not like the administration has been subtle about their intentions: To lie, steal, murder & cheat their way to absolute power.
"How could we have known the numbers were cooked?"
BECAUSE TRUMP SAID THEY WOULD BE. REPEATEDLY.
Fool me once…

Fun fact - the red flower Lady Gaga wore during the Superbowl halftime show is called a "Flor de Maga".
The Flor de Maga has been Puerto Rico's official national flower since 2019.
Why is a jobs report by an admin that fired its impartial statisticians, continues to cover up Epstein and is blatantly fabricating narratives about the Good and Pretti murders BEING REPORTED AS FACT?
By EVERY news outlet?
This isn't incompetence; it's complicity.

A close-up, sober look at the reality on the ground in Ukraine. And a reminder that should Canada ever be invaded, pity the invaders.
"Because of the absolute high level of training in Canada I was already prepared… there wasn't much of an adjustment."

Then you'll agree that too few in the rest of the country are mobilizing.
It has to be a general strike. The stock market tanking is the only thing that has ever moved Trump's needle.
You aren't just dealing with fascism, but oligarchy. Unless you tackle it at the source, nothing will change.
One more reason to purge society of its corrupting oligarchy.
Tax the rich.
Regulate social media and A.I.
Or perish.
