‘I’m literally shaking:’ Canadian parent of children with autism reacts to Trump’s claims When Christina Collura’s son, Luca, was 3 years old, she received confirmation that he was on the spectrum. The journey to helping him took a detour this week, following U.S. President Donald Trump’s ...

Innumerate fool embarrasses the USA in front of world.

This guy is a complete moron!

Should have added ‘uninformed dumbass!’

It’s so unkind what these terrible men (Trump, Kennedy Oz and others) are doing to women who have children on the autism spectrum. Not to mention dangerous for pregnant women. It makes me sick to my stomach!

Can’t wait to see what Saturday Night Live does with the Tylenol causes autism claim.

Most Americans critical of Trump on crime, economy and other issues, poll finds The Post-Ipsos survey paints a downbeat picture of Trump’s presidency, as Americans disapprove of his performance by double-digit margins on a broad range of issues.

Majorities of Americans disapprove of Trump's handling of crime, immigration, tariffs, the economy, Russia and Gaza, per @washingtonpost.com @ipsosus.bsky.social poll. Overall, Trump's approval rating is 43%. @emgusk.bsky.social @sfcpoll.bsky.social

Even better, these investments help insulate the economy against Trump's trade war. At the same time, enhancing supply of clean energy will also support value-adding exports like manufacturing & tech. This should be at the top of our nation-building economic agenda. #cdnecon

That's a step increase in employment of 20-30% for building trades employment. Sean Strickland from @cdntrades.bsky.social sums it up perfectly: "Canada’s transition to a cleaner economy represents one of the most significant job creation opportunities in our country’s history." #canlab /4

We estimated the job-creation spurred by 3 big categories of investment:
* Non-emitting energy production & transmission
* Energy-efficient buildings & district energy
* Sustainable transport
All told, this will produce an avg of 235-350,000 new construction jobs over 25 yrs. /3

The truth about 7 October deserved to be told. Let it now be told about Gaza, too

The truth about 7 October deserved to be told. Let it be told about Gaza, too

With the opening of the 80th United Nations General Assembly taking place in eight days, we demand strong action from the international community and call on the United Nations Security Council to stop the Israeli army's crimes against Palestinian journalists.

Today, hundreds of media outlets in over 50 countries are mobilising in solidarity with Palestinian journalists in the Gaza Strip, alongside RSF and Avaaz.

Imagine…do they honestly think the Norwegian’s are that stunned?

I love Margaret Atwood! And although I don’t know them deep respect for the Edmonton School Board!

If you have to keep your most left-flank coalition members on board against what you all agree is fascism, then something is deeply, deeply wrong with your most left-flank coalition members.

Makes me sick. Hamas is evil and so is the Israeli government. And so is the Trump administration who are turning a blind eye to the deliberate starvation of civilians.

Famine declared in parts of Gaza by leading food crises authority The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, or IPC, said famine is happening in Gaza City, home to hundreds of thousands of Palestinians.

Parts of Gaza are officially in famine, and it's likely to spread across the territory without a ceasefire and an end to restrictions on humanitarian aid, according to the world's leading authority on food crises.

'Putin, Netanyahu and Hamas must face justice for war crimes'

Like millions across the UK and around the world I have been horrified by the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and in the Middle East.
