Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

Their goal is to FULLY outlaw abortion everywhere. I hope that folks know this and that they will not rest. So the question is what are we who are pro-abortion rights doing?

"Bethlenfalvy said Tuesday that Stelco did not apply for aid aimed at businesses hit hard by Donald Trump’s tariffs before deciding to shut its cold mill and coating lines in Hamilton effective Oct. 9, leaving up to 500 workers facing layoffs. “They weren’t interested, is my understanding.”

The invisible labor (often performed by women and marginalized folks) that keeps organizations afloat remains hidden and uncompensated. But those musing about AI's "transformation" of work have probably always benefited from this kind of labor in all parts of their life and don't see it as work.

In Novem­ber, Amer­ican steel giant Clev­e­land Cliffs swal­lowed up Stelco, the pride of Hamilton and Canada's second largest steel com­pany, for $3.4 bil­lion.

At the time, the deal was touted by then fin­ance min­is­ter Chrys­tia Free­land as proof that the CanadaU.S. trade rela­tion­ship will be fine, point­ing out that Clev­e­land Cliffs CEO Lourenco Gon­calves is a long­time sup­porter of Trump.

This week, Trump announced across the board 25 per cent tar­iffs on steel and alu­minum imports, prompt­ing out­rage and con­cern from politi­cians, busi­nesses and union lead­ers who said the tar­iffs put thou­sands of Cana­dian jobs at risk.

Still, said sup­ply chain guru Fraser John­son, Clev­e­land Cliffs will likely recover in time, even if Stelco's 1,800 employ­ees might be for­given for being a bit nervous.

“You don't do these things as a short­term invest­ment,” said John­son, a pro­fessor at West­ern Uni­versity's Ivey Busi­ness School. “And I think Clev­e­land Cliffs bought Stelco because they see a good future for it in the long term.”

"COVID-19 May Quietly Weaken Bones Long After Recovery" Researchers warn COVID-19 may have effects beyond the lungs, heart and immune system. A new review suggests infection may cause lasting bone damage, increasing the risk of weaker bones, fractures and impaired bone repair—even after recovery.
An image displays a medical news article headline paired with detailed anatomical illustrations regarding COVID-19.
Key Visual Elements
•	Header: Features the blue "Thailand Medical News" logo with a small red cross symbol.
•	Headline: Large, prominent red text reads "COVID-19 May Quietly Weaken Bones Long After Recovery."
•	Article Text: A brief excerpt outlines a scientific review warning that the virus can trigger long-lasting damage to the skeleton, increasing fracture risks even after recovery.
•	Anatomical Imagery:
o	A 3D rendering of a coronavirus particle stands next to a transparent view of a human hip joint and pelvic bone structure.
o	Two circular insets compare bone density. The left circle depicts healthy, dense bone matrix structure, while the right circle shows significantly thinned, porous bone matrix representing bone loss.
