My mom reminded me that milk safety was foundational to why the Women's Institute was formed. Pasteurization has always been a feminist issue!

Here is my latest. Sylvain Charlebois, Canada's beloved commentator on the food industry, thinks that not giving us access to raw milk is communism.

Time is running out. There has never been a greater need for Canadians to show solidarity with Cuba—to demonstrate respect for the resilience and independence of the Cuban people, and appreciation for decades of Cuban generosity.

EXCLUSIVE Immigration Agreements that allow local police to work with ICE skyrocket There were 1,168 agencies with officers signed up to help ICE, up from 135 during the Biden administration and 150 at the end of Trump’s first term, according to an analysis of ICE data. Agreements between Immigration and Customs Enforcement and local law enforcement that allow officers to make federal immigration arrests have increased 950% in the first year of President Donald Trump's second term, according to a new analysis of ICE data. As of Jan. 26, there were 1,168 agencies with officers trained to help ICE, up from 135 during the Biden administration and 150 at the end of Trump's first term, according to the analysis by FWD.US, a nonpartisan policy organization. ICE's advertising for the program promised to give law enforcement agencies $7,500 for equipment per trained officer; $100,000 for new vehicles and overtime pay of up to 25% of an officer's salary. The analysis shows 39 states have policing agencies now participating, but didn't give the total number of officers now working with ICE. State and local police agencies and sheriffs departments potentially stand to gain between $1.4 billion and $2 billion this year if they agree to participate because of the large infusion of cash from Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill, the organization predicted. "This amount would dwarf all other federal funding for local law enforcement," the FWD.US report found.

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

Reports published today indicate that Russell Vought, who played a central and direct role in the dismantling and defunding of USAID is using $15 million of those same funds to pay for his personal security detail.

This is the most corrupt administration in U.S. history, hands down.

ICYMI, Alberta is getting set to bring back Victorian asylums, to strip addiction sufferers of their constitutional rights & indefinitely detain them against their will in private facilities, in order to enrich fucking ghouls, who will no doubt abuse these poor souls & never let their cash cows go.

Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading.

Now we’ve got mumps rolling up.

Expect more.

This is significant.
Canada is the only non-European country to sign on to a program that allows access for low-interest loans for the joint procurement of military gear and weapons. It gives Canadian companies access to bid on European projects.
