I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

a poster that says measles is very contagious on it Alt: a poster that says measles is very contagious on it, and that each infected person typically infects 12-15 others.

Per PBS News Hour just now: Texas measles cases now at 120 and climbing.

This was the best gif I could find, but note the R0 of measles is believed to be 12-18 (depending on various factors), not 12-15.

This isn't going to resolve soon, & Texans have been known to visit other states. Get vaxxed.

Do you know what heroism and determination is?
The survivors of St. Anne's residential school suffered horrific violence as children.
Canada suppressed the evidence and denies justice.
But the survivors will not be silent.
They will not give up.
They are at Ontario Court demanding their rights.

After years of the families pushing for action, the landfill search for the remains of two First Nation women who were killed by a Winnipeg serial killer began on Monday.

Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew spoke to media about the search.

The image features a simple, hand-drawn illustration depicting a virus-like structure at the center, characterized by a circular shape with spikes around its perimeter. Inside the circle, there is a stylized representation of a double helix or spiral, suggesting genetic material. Connected to the virus are several orange circles and lines, forming a graph-like structure that indicates a trend or progression. The overall design uses a limited color palette of black and orange, creating a striking visual contrast. The illustration conveys a scientific theme, likely related to biology or virology.

Screenshot of EdWorkingPaper No. 24-1093 Annenberg Institute, Brown University. The Effects of School Building HVAC System Conditions on Student Academic and Behavioral Outcomes Lucy C. Sorensen, Moontae Hwang, Marzuka Ahmad Radia There is growing awareness of the importance of school building environments for student health, well-being, and even educational outcomes. We ask in this study what role school building heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems play in shaping student attendance, behavior, and learning. In particular, we extract information from school building inspection reports and link them to education records for public K-12 schools in New York State outside New York City between the 2005-06 and 2018-19 academic years. Using a difference-in-differences approach, we find that improvements in school HVAC system conditions over time reduce student absence, reduce student suspension, and modestly increase student math and reading scores. Heating and cooling system replacements and reconstructions also increase student math achievement. We conclude that investments made now to improve school HVAC systems can benefit not only student comfort and well-being, but also enhance educational opportunity

“Ontario Science Centre” in Sherway Gardens

Seasonal relief plans for shelter deny the climate crisis and the right to shelter Toronto's decision to permanently close its cooling centres this summer is just one example of how municipal governments are failing to ensure the right to shelter and protection from the elements.
