Five years on. Millions dead. COVID effectively endemic. The big story is how we are STILL in denial about airborne transmission of respiratory diseases. Good job, libertarians. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

America Is Sleeping on a Powerful Defense Against Airborne Disease

Treating clean indoor air as a public good would have protected Americans against more than COVID-19.

NEW: Canada’s new PM, Mark Carney, has just delivered what sounded like a wartime speech, savaging Trump & the US. "These are dark days brought on by a country we can no longer trust. We are getting over the shock, but let us never forget the lessons. We have to look after ourselves."💥

I went to the #Minnesota State Capitol for the #IntertnationalWomensDay #protest today. Quite the turnout. I'll be sharing more shots of the day soon. (I usually avoid politics, but I feel like I should document it.) #photography #nikon #resist #50501Protest #MN #50501movement #fiftyfiftyone

Photo of a large crowd gathered in front of a white marble building (the Minnesota state Capitol), many holding signs and flags of all types, from American flags, to State flags, to LGBTQ flags. The sign in prominent focus at the bottom of the photo is written on cardboard and says "resist & defy"

Mexico and Canada should both ban X and Facebook. As well as every other democracy in the world that wants to stay in existence.

In Minnesota, we value the people who care for our veterans, even if DOGE doesn’t. If Trump fired you, come work for the State of Minnesota and help take care of our vets.

Please vaccinate your children. Please get yourself vaccinated if you haven't been. "An unvaccinated New Mexico adult who tested positive for measles has died, the second death in a growing measles outbreak centered along the West Texas-New Mexico border, officials said Thursday."

Second death reported in growing measles outbreak

The death of a New Mexico adult comes eight days after a 6-year-old child succumbed to the disease in Texas last week.

What’s that saying going around?…oh yeah: “The road to fascism is lined with people telling you to stop overreacting.” It’s really starting to feel like there are still far too many people UNDERreacting.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Sharing in case anyone in the US isn’t aware of what kind of shenanigans Canada 🍁 is currently having to deal with. It’s not a joke; it never was a joke. It’s all to normalize this kind of BS, and then the next push and then the next step, and then the next

Trauma does not tell its own story. Yes, people will get angry, they'll be unhappy, but they will not just automatically know who's to blame or why it happened or how to fix it. They won't magically "wake up" to that knowledge unless *someone tells them*. Events will not do dems' comms for them.

I am glad the world got to see what that monstrous mango mobster is like. Our PM left his meeting with that asshole and told us in Canada "He is deadly serious about taking our country"......now the world sees what a fucking monster he is. This is what democratic countries now face. #FuckThisShit
