UN’s Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese:

“I truly hope that people will stay calm, will not panic, and will remember that the international community is made of 193 states, and this is the time to give the US what it has been looking for – isolation!”

On DOGE’s watch, federal spending did not go down at all. It went up. But is still led to cuts that closed offices, canceled programs and deprived people of food, medicine and other aid.

And it casually, gleefully, carelessly sentenced millions to death. Every single act of this administration is either a scandal, a tragedy, or a criminal act, and the common thread is it’s usually the stupidest possible decision by the most soulless people available

This statement is a sick joke. US foreign policy is a sick joke, being implemented by enemies of truth, freedom & democracy - people driven by personal greed & the opportunity to exploit the suffering of others by trading US power and prestige for death & business opportunities.

I'm increasingly convinced Trump's inner circle is giving him busy work (the White House ballroom, Kennedy Center, presidential plaques, gold decorations, etc.) while they essentially run the government. He admits that he doesn't even know who he is pardoning anymore.
Trump announces an "unprecedented four-day athletic event" with "one young man and one young woman from each state and territory"

To all the young people in New York and across our country who count on gender-affirming care:

I won't let this administration come for you, your doctors, or your lifesaving health care. 

Your health care is still legal and protected. 

I'll always fight for you.

Since my name keeps getting called out here, I thought it would be useful to take a look at Greenpeace's analysis here.

A quick thread:
He's done so by ignoring long-term costs, the precedent it sets federally and the very real risk to frontline communities. I find it irresponsible and I'm hoping through this back and forth that the full story (and its impacts) behind this political betrayal can be brough to light.
Did someone say MOU? Reading between the lines of Mark Carney’s plan to build an oil pipeline from Alberta to the BC coast - Greenpeace Canada
The Carney government's MOU with the Government of Alberta to build a new tar sands pipeline rolls back key climate policies and attacks Indigenous rights.

Re floor crossings, it’s a Parliamentary System in Canada. Poilievre is always rage baiting trying to destroy the system, Poilievre lies daily.

Massie: Previous presidents told us to go to war over WMDs that did not exist. Now it's the same playbook. Except we're told that drugs are the WMDs. If it were about drugs, we'd bomb Mexico or China or Colombia. This is about oil and regime change.

Brutal but effective public health messaging from New York Public Health.

The CDC is compromised. They’re no longer a reliable source of information.

They push anti-vaxx & anti-science grift.

Get your vaccines. Wear a respirator. Clean the air

Get public health advice from experts, not RFK Jr

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’
This is so disgusting.

The thing about online hate is that it goes offline & is dangerous. In my case, it would often start with clip of Conservative politician making a personal attack in Question Period, rage farming outlets would promote, bots & trolls pile on, algorithms amplify.
It needs to stop!
