“This bill explicitly gives government the power to end legal strikes when a minister decides that a strike is or could become contrary to the national interest — and the national interest is defined solely by the opinion of the minister,” warns top labour leader Bea Bruske. Holy shit. This is bad.

Gee, and all this time I was told that coming to America with nothing and making a fortune was literally the American Dream.

It’s simply not possible to overstate how important NCAR is to US and world science. We need to fight this with everything we’ve got.

The Trump regime wants to dismantle a world leading climate research center. Why? Because the US has become a petrostate where the government has been captured by fossil fuel interests. They’re calling climate science “green new scam research”, in full denial of reality. 🤯

🚨 If you think this administration isn't attacking science & vaccines, think again. They’ve now scrubbed all ACIP slides. First, they erase the data. Then, manipulate it to fit their narrative—this time, undermining vaccine safety. We’ve seen this playbook before. #ScienceMatters #VaccinesSaveLives

IMPORTANT: If you live in the United States or Canada, you’ve probably heard Trump‘s constant claim that the United States is “subsidizing” Canada. It’s wrong of course, but here’s the best explanation I’ve seen about how & why it’s wrong. PLEASE WATCH & SHARE IT A LOT. Kudos to Andrew Chang & CBC.

While I was watching an ad for St. Laurent mall, it struck me just how much the word "convenient" has been so twisted and perverted by the auto and fossil fuel industries. "Conveniently located next to the 417, with ample free parking!" In no universe is that convenient, except to the carbrained.

Up here in Canada, the premier of New Brunswick, Blaine Higgs, has been launching an attack on Queer youth, and has been campaigning hard against trans healthcare. He just got absolutely wrecked. Thrown out of power and defeated in his own riding. Tiny victories.
It's an email Higgs sent attacking trans healthcare, spreading disinformation about performing surgeries on 12 year olds. He sent it via Rebel News, the far right disinfo network.It's the vote totals in Higgs' riding showing him losing by two points
