This year, the Manitoba Nurses Union took the extraordinary step of grey-listing two health care facilities deemed unsafe due to violence against staff. @kellyriess.bsky.social takes a closer look at a provincial and national crisis unfolding in plain sight: thewalrus.ca/manitoba-hospita...

As some of you know, I’m the editor of The Flatlander, an independent news publication covering #Saskatchewan and #Manitoba. I'm launching a healthcare series, and I want you to help shape it. What’s affecting your family? Long wait times? ER closures? No mental health support?

Opinion | Enough

To suggest we should yield even a little to Trump’s odious politics is unacceptable. Even if we did, it would never be enough.

I was curious if Jack Dorsey was still involved with #Bluesky but he left over concerns with its content moderation. As I understand it, he is another #freespeech absolutist, and he didn’t like that Bluesky took down an account whose handle was an anti-Black slur…
