“We will have to hold some media companies accountable,” @cathmckenna.bsky.social said of online hate & misogyny. “There are no controls, because these large U.S. companies, run by billionaire tech bros, use algorithms to amplify hate.” www.thewhig.com/opinion/run-...

Canadians should be just as concerned as Americans. Remember this quote from PM P. E. Trudeau, "Living next to you is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant. No matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast, if I can call it that, one is affected by every twitch and grunt."

They have fired the staff of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers, who are disease detectives that respond to outbreaks around the world.

I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous it is to dismantle our disease surveillance infrastructure.

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

In the last 5+ years, we should’ve instituted clean indoor air beginning in schools & hospitals, ensured doctors & healthcare workers wear good masks, & properly informed the public abt airborne transmission & the true dangers of COVID. Instead the gov’t opted for basically pretending it all away.

Untreated HIV can take on average around 10 years to progress to AIDS. This means HIV was unknowingly circulating throughout the ‘70s (and likely before). Going by this rough timeline, we won’t know what damage a single COVID infection, let alone several, does long term until around 2030.

Oni Blackstock, MD MHS @oniblackstock.bsky.social · 19h

The first reports of what would eventually be called AIDS and its causative agent identified as HIV were published in the MMWR in 1981 alerting health care and public health systems across the country. A tremendous loss for public health.

There’s a reason hate mongers and disinformationists like #AndrewLawton are so concerned. They want no consequences for their hate entrepreneurship, disinformation spreading and destabilization efforts against 🇨🇦’s civil society. bsky.app/profile/heat... #cdnpoli

Something else I’d like to add about #AndrewLawton, #PierrePoilievre’s handpicked #CPC candidate in London, On. Lawton’s racist misogynist views, weren’t just evident in many years past (which he blamed on mental illness), Lawton continued to dog whistle to white nationalists, much more recently.
