Un socialiste démocrate qui s'inspire du Québec... si les panélistes de Sébastien Bovet voient ça, ils vont faire une syncope 😆
Zohran Mamdani draws inspiration from Québec — a reminder that ideas travel, and borders can’t contain hope. 🕊️🕯️
Proud that our little corner of the world can spark big dreams. 💙🤍⚜️

Les océans recouvrent ~70% de la surface de la Terre, mais l'eau reste rare. La grosse bulle représente toute l'eau sur Terre. A côté, toute l'eau douce liquide (souvent sous Terre). Le minuscule point bleu c'est toute l'eau douce des lacs et rivières : celle que l'on peut boire.

Why is NACI allowing only 1 COVID vaccine per year for most Canadians, making many ineligible for the fall vaccine?
Everyone should be eligible:
1. It’s an UPDATED vaccine.
2. COVID vaccines begin to wane at 4 months - it’s NOT a yearly vaccine.

It felt like it could use a modern updating, however. Update: Just after I finished writing this, it occurred to me that there was no chance I was the first to think of doing this, so I did a search and sure enough, the writer Talia Lavin had the same idea months ago.

I’m politically homeless. Like so many Americans, I am furious that the president cut $50 billion in subsidies to my exploding rocket and child murdering car business. Like other Americans who have 60 kids with 57 different mothers, all boys with hieroglyphics for names, I am being left behind.

Masks are under serious threat at being banned widely due to politicization. This would be a public health disaster. If you are only wearing a mask at protests, please consider also wearing them elsewhere. The more people mask, the more we normalize masks and protect them against bans.

When will the popular press stop falling for the EWG fearmongering noise?
There is little evidence to support this framing. And it does real harm.

Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of the dot on scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner of the dot. How frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.

Analyzing the Trump regime through a political lens is a mistake. It isn’t playing politics—it’s a mafia syndicate seeking self-enrichment and exploitation, including of Americans. It doesn’t expect real elections. The right lens is authoritarianism, fascism, and organized crime.
