I’m so sick and tired of being sick and tired. Massive setback from renovations which triggered my MCAS which in turn triggered my POTS. I fainted, hit my head and have been too dizzy to manage any food since. Chronic illness is not for the faint at heart.

No one has any energy to play cheerleader in Avi Lewis’ vanity project. We need smart, strategic, opposition. We need to be able to take the @ndp.ca seriously because these are serious times. Call for an Epstein investigation and buy people time to organize.

Oct. 1, some changes took place in federal support for health care in America. Much larger changes are coming January 1. The chief medical officer of a health care system just told me people will be shocked in 2027. Those cuts were made to give huge tax cuts to the wealthiest people in the USA.

Trump showed up in Texas looking for cheers. Instead, his rally turned into absolute chaos. Protesters interrupting, Trump supporters getting physical, shouting matches, and security scrambling. So much for that Paxton boost.

One of the key lessons from Dutch cycling history is cities didn't start with protected lanes. They began by making streets safer, calmer and more inviting; with lower speeds, parking restrictions, traffic filters and reduced through-traffic to create an environment in which cycling could flourish.🧵

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $8 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of American households is worth just $4.27 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.
