TrumpRx launched Thursday, claiming to sell discounted prescription drugs directly to consumers. Instead, it's offering:

1. a whole lot less than advertised
2. only brand-name, making them more expensive than generic brands
3. drugs that are nearly all covered by insurance already

It really is worth understanding what an escalation this is by the feds to be teargassing the big family friendly march
Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

It hasn’t gone unnoticed that all four people arrested today, including two journalists, were Black.

And now we find out the charge is “conspiracy to violate civil rights,” a statute rooted in the Ku Klux Klan Act.

Sit with that.

In his latest book, Marcello Di Cintio shows readers a side of Canada unbeknownst to many, if not most Canadians.

Recently, we sat down to chat about the importance of telling the complex stories of migrant workers. An excerpt of our convo is in my latest piece for @thetyee.ca’s Weekender.

‘The portrait that it paints is extremely unflattering,’ says Calgary author Marcello Di Cintio of ‘Precarious,’ his new book.

Please share widely. Canadians must understand the danger that #DanielleSmith presents to our entire public healthcare system.
#NoToPrivatization
#ProtectOurPublicHealthcare
I was in the House of Commons this week, speaking out against Danielle Smith’s latest attacks on public health care.

People are already tragically paying the price.

Protecting health care is the federal government’s job. They have to step in before other conservative premiers copy follow her lead.

No media outside of Kansas has picked up on the fact that the state just enacted a de facto public ban and papers-please act against trans people, and they won't, because trans people are only newsworthy if it furthers our dehumanization.
Kansas just passed a monstrous bill enabling criminal penalties and vigilante lawsuits for trans people using the bathroom according to their gender identity and requires them to surrender their current drivers licenses and birth certificates if it does not match their sex assigned at birth.
