There are many public figures who have fear. Fear of violence, fear of needing to move out of their country. Most don't say it out loud. This is pretty clear.

This Is How a Child Dies of Measles When your family becomes a data point in an outbreak

You’ve taken your daughter to a birthday party. In the air, invisible, is the measles virus. Even if she survives, the virus may never be done with her. Elizabeth Bruenig on what measles can do to a body, to a brain, and to a family:

Why your grocery bill is still so high How Prime Minister Mark Carney’s GST credit could help Canadians cover the high price of food at the grocery store

Interesting to hear some of the things that are behind grocery prices.

Incredible acting. Thank you Catherine O'Hara.

You can’t reform this.

Throw the whole department away.

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

Justin Ling: In Davos, Trump and Carney gave us two radically different ways to see the world Making Trump pay for his rhetoric is the only way forward.

Carney quoted Greek historian Thucydides, cited Czech democratic hero Václav Havel and outlined how the old systems of the liberal order were over.

Trump said NATO “called me daddy.”

In an era of great power rivalry, Canada is choosing to be principled and pragmatic. To name reality, to act together, and to build what we claim to believe in.

A massive "Hands off Greenland" protest is happening right now in Copenhagen to demonstrate against Trump's threats.

"The aim is to send a clear and unified message of respect for Greenland's democracy," organisers said.

“Respect for Greenland, respect for Greenlanders, respect for Denmark.”

A felon who married an immigrant is telling a lot of y’all that the problems in this country all stem from felons and immigrants.

But keep buying that stupid red hat that’s made in China.

When he tells you who he is, believe him.

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.

Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

The past couple days have made it clear that arresting and prosecuting Johnathan Ross isn’t just the right thing to do, it is necessary to prevent future violence by ICE who have interpreted the situation as “we can do that to whoever we want”

Living in the Lie And How Not To

"In the wake of this terrible killing in Minneapolis, my first thought, after the initial shock, anger, and sadness, was the knowledge that the next few days, months, weeks, and years would be filled with endless lying from the regime and its stooges."

This change of words is important. And threatening to Canada and more countries.

Whether it’s a good thing or a bad thing, almost all trends in the US come to Canada, a little later and a little less. How do we get on top of this information that is no longer dependable?

OMG 😭

Huntington's is an inherited disease that's like Alzheimers + Parkinson's all in one. NOW: "once the gene therapy has been delivered into the brain... [it] injects a piece of DNA to reprogram the neuron to become a factory for its own cure."

I'm well aware that this cbs line is just cynical but also it would be so funny if they actually made a nightly news cast that is just like: ZERO EXPERTS, ALL ANALYSIS IS FROM SOME DUDE WE PULLED OFF THE STREET AND HES CONFUSED ABOUT WHY WE ARE FILMING HIM IN THE BUFFALO WILD WINGS PARKING LOT

There are so many ways that people can be "groomed" by their pervasive culture.

There are a lot of files in this new dataset that have made me feel this way.

I’m still making my way through DataSet 8, but this is some vile shit.

This. Even when people use expressions like they are "the worst of the worst", this horrific handling of people is not humane or justified. No person or nation should want to have any ownership of the utterly dehumanizing and counter-productive shown by CECOT prison personnel.

So many beautiful Christmas scenes, walking the streets of Toronto.

Important topic to discuss:

Trump Is Walloping Construction Businesses. The Industry Stays Quiet. Raids on work sites. Roofers under siege. But builders keep mum.

So many stories that are not told. Staying quiet. If the story isn't told from inside, let's look at the story from the outside and show what is happening in real life.

This news article is not real. (Easy to google.)
