Abolishing ICE is the start. This will end when these agents occupy the cells they're currently using to jail innocent people.

Federal public servants called back to office 4 days a week starting this summer | CBC News The federal government expects its employees to return to in-office work for a minimum of four days a week starting this July.

Let's be clear about who @mark-carney.bsky.social's government is harming with this policy

- Women & mothers: flexible remote work โฌ†๏ธ retention
- Disabled & immunocompromised - remote work is a core accommodation
-BIPOC workers: remote/hybrid โฌ‡๏ธ bias

Transport Canada can choose whether to use its EV rebates to further enrich a dangerous fascist โ€” whose vehicles for the Canadian market are made exclusively in the US and China โ€” or to help develop the Canadian industry. But there's no sign the new system will exclude Tesla. Why not?

Alt text was on maybe 75% of Bsky images when I first joined. Accessibility is still the right thing to do.

You can hit the gear on the left of yr screen, click accessibility, and get Bsky to remind u to use alt text. It's pretty easy โค๏ธ

Dodgers plan to attend White House following latest World Series championship President Trump is planning to host the Dodgers to celebrate their most recent World Series championship, the White House confirmed Thursday morning.

Call me woke and annoying, but I TRULY do not see how you could support the Dodgers as a fan after this.

And yes, I'd say this about the Blue Jays if they'd won and made the same choice. I don't give a fuck about team loyalty. Talk to the Epstein files about it.

Yeah this is pretty gross. The Golden State Warriors didn't debase themselves like this, and that was before Trump did 99% of the awful things as president.

Hats off to these people for recreating and running the work of a government, the same necessary work that our ineffective governments are declining to do.

On world cancer day, thinking of all the patients who will go to chemo today facing unmasked hospital staff. And who will suffer hospital-acquired infections and even die due to the lack of airborne mitigations ๐Ÿ’”

I bumped into him in the mid-00s at a live music club in D.C., and proceeded to tell him how wrong and gullible he was for having supported the US invasion of Iraq. The guy's made a very successful career of being wrong, but he's still wrong.

If youโ€™re being threatened for telling the truth, first, youโ€™re not alone; and second, youโ€™re a thousand times the scientist and educator than any of the men trying to silence you ever will be.

Working on (vs. within) systems of oppression is difficult and scary. Itโ€™s also our only way forward.

I truly don't understand why this isn't a priority for the Canadian government.
What's more likely, a full-scale military invasion, or Trump in a fit of demented rage demands all US companies hosting Canadian government data shut off our access, and they comply (because that's what US CEOs do)?

Question from the last page of the BCCDC's wastewater dashboard survey:
"Do you have any suggestion(s) for improving the BCCDC wastewater surveillance dashboard? Please share here."

What I'd written in the text box:
"Restore thrice-a-week wastewater sampling.
Expand the number of WWTPs under surveillance beyond the original 12.
Represent every week of wastewater data in the lineage abundance graph and graph influenza as well as SARS-CoV-2 lineages."

The BCCDC is surveying the public on our experience of the wastewater dashboard. Even though they've left hardly any room for suggestions, it is still an opportunity to voice our discontent w/ the state of wastewater surveillance in "BC", so please use it. ubc.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...
