Gotta love Bono in this new interview praising Canada for rejecting Poilievre the populist and electing the thoughtful, intelligent & competent Carney. “51 reasons to love Canada,” indeed.

Poilievre is reviled and Carney is revered inside & outside of this great country. 🇨🇦

This is real life, y’all.

These aren’t “democratic talking points”—this is a real mother and real babies at risk of going hungry, all because Republicans want to be greedy.

Somebody please tell me how you can feed a growing family of 6 on $15 per day… you can’t.

Life-saving drugs should be accessible, not grossly overpriced just to explode unjust profits. It's time to end the practice of these extreme price hikes and the unjust corporate concentration and market monopolization that makes it possible.

We need fair competition and just pricing.

Despite swearing otherwise just months ago, Republicans have now revealed their plan to take Medicaid away from millions of Americans.

There has to be accountability - for the harm and for the lies.

The US health care system is broken & wildly expensive.

The function of a health care system is not to provide billions in profits for insurance & drug companies. It is to provide quality care as a human right.

The time is NOW to pass Medicare for All.

We spend almost twice as much per capita on healthcare as any other country on Earth. It’s time to change that

I’ve been thinking a lot about various nudges, policies, and technologies that could get us to eat less meat, and I must admit I didn’t think of making meat super-dangerous.
