Three years ago today, Putin's tanks rolled into Ukraine, and Russian aircraft began bombing the country.

Trump is lying. Russia started the war, not Ukraine.

Putin is a dictator, not Zelensky.

The best way to confront a bully about the misinformation he is spreading is to confront him in front of everyone. Macron just did that.

Currently appearing at UK bus-stops.

More of this pointed ridicule, please.

The allegations certainly suggest the UCP are up to their eyeballs in kick backs and sketchy dealings. But never, ever, forget what they aren’t doing - getting you a family doc or a bed for your sick kid in the ER. #AbLeg

It’s not about eliminating DEI. It’s about eliminating non-whites and women and anybody not straight

Bernie Sanders: "They will use the enormous media operations they own to deflect attention away from the impact of their policies while they entertain us to death."

Before and after street transformations in Amsterdam.

Before and after street transformations in Amsterdam.

If you think Amsterdam managed to avoid being overrun by cars, you’re wrong.

They too surrendered their streets to cars for many decades.

But the people fought back, and forced leaders to see their mistake.

There's nothing magical about #Amsterdam.

They just saw their mistake, and changed it.

Under oath, Kash Patel said he was unaware of plans to dismiss FBI agents before he was confirmed.

Today, whistleblowers revealed Patel was reportedly directing those dismissals. Covertly.

Yet another reason he must be rejected.

I saw the Kanye ad yesterday (it aired in the Philly market, where we were) but didn't click on the link.

Today I found out it went to a website selling swastika T-shirts.

This was a Superbowl ad.

And it was to a website selling swastika T-shirts.

I feel like I'm losing my mind.

Snoop and Tom Brady: say no to hate

Kendrick: actually

Great point.

HOLY SHIT!! Rep. Kamlager-Dove:

“It is total corruption for an unelected unqualified billionaire like Elon Musk to…take control of our government to have access… of the information we use when we are trying to get a motherfucking tax return.”

Holy shit.

“USAID’s inspector general was investigating a public-private partnership involving Musk’s company just before Musk shut the agency down.

Key USAID web pages mentioning Musk’s company have suddenly vanished from the agency’s website.”

Follow the money.

So............ I have to teach about the U.S. Constitution today to an introductory level class.

How on earth am I supposed to pretend everything is just working normally?

Answer: I'm not going to pretend. I'm telling it like it is.

‘We Are Now Being Extorted’ | The Tyee It’s time for Canada to push back hard against Trump. Here’s how.

"No one can trust the U.S. government now, economically or militarily — not even Americans."

I voted to reject RFK Jr.'s nomination to HHS.

I cannot in good conscience support someone who denies and will dilute our public health protections, sow distrust in science, and oversee massive cuts to health care programs for vulnerable Americans.

US CDC orders pullback of new scientific papers involving its researchers, source says The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is seeking to withdraw all papers involving its researchers that are being considered for publication by external scientific journals to allow for a review by the Trump administration, a federal official told Reuters.

So much sh*t happening, but don't think this getting enough attention. Censorship. Slowing important research. Etc etc.

🚨Universities, research institutions, etc. MUST SPEAK UP! 📣

Keep calling your reps. Maybe something will finally shake them out of their stupor. (Yes, I know AOC, Chris Murphy, and a few others have been speaking out, we need more.)

Opinion: COVID-19 report poses a threat to Alberta's public health This report promotes serious misinformation cloaked in the respectability of a formal government report.

🚨 COVID report poses a threat to Alberta's public health edmontonjournal.com/opinion/colu... 🙏

"Extensive research has shown that vaccines for COVID-19 are safe and effective, and they have saved millions of lives around the world."

Ivermectin "...have shown them to be ineffective."

Canadian Conservatives like to say that any potential new Liberal leader is “tied to Trudeau.”

By comparison tho, Pierre Poilievre is much more tied to Stephen Harper, who was much worse for Canada, than Carney is to Trudeau.

Don’t forget Harper, what he did, & the influence he has over the CPC.

If I were Canadian PM I would immediately:

1. Create a new $15B science fund

2. Offer any credentialed US scientist funding for lab startup and replacement of NIH grants if they move to Canada

3. Immediate permanent residency

4. Citizenship after 2 years

Overnight a science superpower

Copenhagen has taken bicycle commuting to a whole new level Cycling has been a part of that good life in Copenhagen for decades. In recent years, it has enjoyed yet another unfathomable surge in popularity — taken to the next level thanks to constantly improvi...

“Copenhagen reported that 62% of its residents are now commuting to work or school by bike — an increase from 52% in 2015 & 36% in 2012, when the City Council launched a 14-year-plan to improve the quality, safety & comfort of cycling.”

#Copenhagen chose. They keep choosing even better every year.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.

Jan27 2025: As a reminder, during the March 2020 sanctuary for all advocacy campaign, US shops were declared ICE FREE ZONES

Was delighted today to discover a crisp, brand new “ICE-Free Zone” sticker on the front door of my local LUSH Cosmetics. Apparently they’ve been ICE-Free since 2020, training their staff how to deal with ICE officers and not accept unlawful raids

Popeye's
Denny's
Lush Cosmetics
Ulta
Bath and body works
Taco Time
Trader Joe's
Auntie Anne's
Costco
Burger King

These are brands I have bought in the last year who either donate majority blue or just don't donate to politics or PACs.

Alberta COVID Report: fatal flaws & sends a dangerous & misleading message about public health.

I worked with a group of amazing colleagues – clinicians, scientists, public health, etc. – to request a RETRACTION of the Report. Over 65 signatures...

This is textbook "bothsidesism"... Ignore evidence, leaning into spin, and using discredited sources is not "science", it is the opposite of science.

BREAKING NEWS:

A passenger jet collided midair with a black hawk helicopter and crashed into the Potomac River in a mass casualty event in Washington DC.

Just last week, Trump FIRED the head of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and disbanded the Aviation Security Advisory Committee.
