Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

Tweet from Mohamed Safa that reads "Best voting advice: Voting isn't marriage. it's public transport. You're not waiting for "the one." You're getting on the bus. And if there isn't one going exactly to your destination, you don't stay home and sulk. You take the one closest to where you want to be."

This is so heartbreaking and makes nothing better and no one safer. It is the punitive act of an administration that values fealty over human health.

Mark Carney - Canada Not Interested in Trump’s Offer & Liberal Leadership Prospects | The Daily Show YouTube video by The Daily Show

I can’t help but feel engaged again as a Liberal Party supporter/member at the prospect of a Mark Carney campaign. He is going to scare the shit out the Conservatives. They are going to go into overdrive to tarnish this man.

This is beyond despicable. Danielle Smith is a traitor to Alberta and Canada. Did she miss Trump’s recent comments that the US doesn’t need our oil? Why is she WASTING $1M+ on this?

Dear Donald,
Thanks for including us in your deranged Christmas message.
Being Canadian means free health care and limiting access to assault weapons.
In your 51st state our kids would get shot at in school and CEOs would be shot for denying health care.
So no.
Now piss off.
Your northern neighbour

Ideology dressed up as policy.

Imagine if so much attention was paid to addressing the impacts of the oilsands - habitat destruction, water contamination, air pollution, massive GHGs, Indigenous rights. The government won't even require an environmental assessment of $16.5-billion CCS project!

Poilievre’s Free Ride to Power Has to Stop | The Tyee No more getting by with glib and shallow answers to these seven basic questions.

At last! A journalist challenging Poilievre's empty promises and simplistic proposals. Time for other journalists to start doing their jobs. You are not Poilievre's personal stenographers.

"Way to go, Joe!" Says Rep Jasmine Crockett about the pardon of Hunter Biden. "We have a 34 count convicted felon that's about to walk into the WH. So for anyone who wants to clutch their pearls now, I would say take a look in the mirror."

YOU NEED TO SEE THIS VIDEO 🧵 ON BLUE SKY- with @rose.bsky.team COO

You might understand the app behind the scenes better now. Mostly impressive, though a few things still give me pause.

YOU decide what to see in your feed, not an algorithm pushing what THEY want.

Sounds refreshing, doesn’t it?

Our new study shows that SARS-CoV-2 spike protein accumulates & persists in the body for years after infection, especially in the skull-meninges-brain axis, potentially driving long COVID. mRNA vaccines help but cannot stop it🔬🧠🦠🧵Your weekend read👇

Single-dose avian influenza A(H5N1) Clade 2.3.4.4b hemagglutinin-Matrix-M nanoparticle vaccine induces neutralizing responses in nonhuman primates With the recent rise in cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5N1) clade 2.3.4.4b infection in humans and animals, there is an associated increase in the risk of human-to-human transmis...

Maybe this is the only way to get Novavax #SARSCoV2 vaccine in Canada - to double up on a vaccine for H5N1 also…perhaps the Canadian govt would then be able to order enough vaccines for a supply agreement…the H5N1 vaccine sounds promising…

A plea to maskless health-care workers from vulnerable patients - Healthy Debate Health-care workers have a responsibility to protect their vulnerable patients. Our lives are in your hands.

"If you’re a health-care worker who sees a patient in a mask, put one on for them. Don’t make them ask. Don’t psychologize them. Don’t betray the trust they’ve shown you. They’ve put their lives in your hands. Don’t take that for granted, it’s not an easy thing for many of us to do"

People really need to learn to not engage with the trolls - simply block and move on. Their oxygen is us engaging them so don’t. I don’t know how much simpler it can get. And it prevents them turning Bluesky into Xitter (although, that said, the algorithm-less-ness of Bluesky works in our favour…)…

The Oligarchical Order: A Bonus Audio From A Collapsing State The United States has been co-opted by oligarchs hellbent on destroying democracy, lowering our standard of living, and delivering a new world order

We have to move beyond tired notions of politics and grasp that unchecked capitalism has led to oligarchs co-opting our government in order to cement their control, line their pockets, demolish democracy, and crater our standard of living.

Pierre Poilievre is not fit to run for the next election as a MP, let alone be the leader of the CPC, and he definitely is not fit to be the PM of Canada. #canadianpolitics

I tried this and it worked. Had to swipe up to close and refresh the app, but when I went back to my profile it was saved as my handle again and the invalid handle error was gone.
