Hey!
Calling all Wonder Women!
We all are sisters…pulling together with one spirit.
50 years ago today the first episode of the series Wonder Woman aired.

Timely.

Something’s gotta change.

The majority of Americans are good. We have heart. We have compassion. When we see others struggle, we want to lend a hand.

For too long, we’ve been divided and pitted against each other by those who crave obscene wealth and power.

Let’s change that. One election at a time.

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week.

MP Chris d'Entremont says he joined Liberals because of Poilievre's leadership style | CBC News Nova Scotia MP Chris d'Entremont said Wednesday he left the Conservative caucus because he didn't feel represented in leader Pierre Poilievre's party anymore and bristled at his "negative" approach to...

Thank you, Mr. d'Entremont. For acting on your principles, and saying what needs to be said. "It's time to lead a country to try and make it better and not try to knock it down..." www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

🎉💪 A judge has ruled that ICE agents who are caught trying to arrest someone at or around a Chicago courthouse can now be arrested. This comes after several weeks of ICE agents grabbing people on their way in or out of the courthouse. #StrongerTogether #ResistanceIsNotFutile

I am pleased to see that too. Until recently, I had not realized the gap Central Vancouver Island has for critical services. 1/2 the population 1/5 the health resources @gordjohns.bsky.social nanaimonewsnow.com/2025/10/17/h...

Budget 2025 Homepage — Part of Budget 2025.

I asked Google AI if Budget 2025 referenced specific topics and I was surprised (but shouldn't have been) that it could already give precise answers with citations. Here's the budget itself: budget.canada.ca/2025/home-ac...

COVID-19 is spreading again — how serious is it and what are the symptoms? Limited COVID-19 surveillance data are hampering vaccination and health strategies, researchers say.

“Surveillance is happening but it’s at a much lower level than it used to be. We don’t have a complete picture of virus circulation of the variants that are out there.

I think there’s a collective amnesia right now about COVID-19.”

CFIA monitoring U.S. move away from science-based decision making, documents show The ‘U.S. Risk Task Team’ will keep an eye on the impact of regulatory changes on food imports

Canada is creating a task force to monitor the safety of U.S. food imports after RFK Jr. cut 3,500 FDA staff. Weaker U.S. standards require increased monitoring and diligence for Canada, generating trade barriers and consumer distrust, resulting in economic damage for U.S. producers and farmers.

SARS‑CoV‑2 (COVID-19)

Just spoke with my CDC sources.

They warned that farm workers in California are falling sick with H5N1 symptoms, yet orders have reportedly come from RFK Jr. himself not to test, not to report, and to keep it quiet.

The CSA’s revised standard on respirators should help us all breathe easier New draft standards for respirator use recognize the importance of protecting workers and patients in health-care settings, where there is a higher risk of pathogen exposure

Canada is showing global leadership in preventing airborne virus transmission with the CSA's new draft standard for respirator use (especially in healthcare) 🎉

The fact a *single* Amazon full-time employee requires SNAP benefits should be a crime. The fact Amazon is the largest employer of SNAP recipients is a disgrace. Jeff Bezos shouldnt be that rich; he should be in jail.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

UN Expert Says US Boat Strikes Are “Crime Against Humanity,” With 61 Killed Amnesty International USA said the strikes are nothing more than a “murder spree.”…

Amnesty International USA condemned the strikes as a “murder spree.” “The administration has not even named its victims, nor provided evidence of their alleged crimes. But even if they did, intentionally killing people accused of committing crimes who pose no imminent threat to life is murder.”

“The U.S. has now murdered 57 civilians in attacks on 14 civilian boats,” said the UN Special Rapporteur for the protection of human rights. “A systematic attack on civilians is a crime against humanity under international law. When will other governments speak out?”

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

The people yearn for (democratic) socialism (this one will make you cry)

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
