So many people just keep saying that Covid is over and so it’s time to move on, and yet the wastewater data just keeps saying that Covid is over here that Covid is over there and that Covid is moving on from one person to another.

Trump is preparing to impose “sweeping sanctions” on the International Criminal Court, WSJ reports. Nothing says “we are international criminals” more.

One of the big lies that the foreign disinformation campaign targeting the Alberta Separation movement spreads is the claim that a yes-vote doesnt really mean separation, it just provides a stronger negotiation position within Federation. Tell that to the people who regret voting for Brexit.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

All the polling from multiple pollsters, including GOP ones, points to a massive Democratic wave in the Midterms. If it doesn’t happen there will have been shenanigans that should get people out on the streets. Don’t be diverted by people who try to dismiss it as a conspiracy theory.

Corporate America’s playbook: 1) Exploit workers to maximize profits 2) Use profits to buy Congress 3) Use Congress to pass union-busting laws 4) Use union-busting laws to further exploit workers 5) Rinse and repeat How we break this cycle? Build back a powerful labor movement.

Frederick Douglass, 1857: Those who profess to favor freedom yet deprecate agitation want crops without plowing the ground; they want rain without thunder + lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its waters. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.

There is an enormous, glaring problem with medical training. When doctors are taught that medicine is an exact science and that "I don't know" is unacceptable, they often default to blaming the patient. Untold numbers of people suffer years of abuse and trauma. www.rnz.co.nz/programmes/i...

Due to “rapid spread of COVID-19” Texas’s San Perlita ISD has closed “all school operations” until August 27th as a “precautionary measure,” which is another reminder that we can keep saying “Covid is over,” but unfortunately Covid doesn’t care what we say.

He thinks the fact that it will be devastating for us will force us to capitulate?! The constant barrage of Russian war crimes hasn't forced Ukrainians to capitulate. Our sacrifices pale in comparison. Duffy and his ilk cannot comprehend that there are things far more valuable than money & power.

In light of the U.S.'s economic war, Markus said it eloquently: "We have to stand together & hold each other up." Standing up to a bully is often painful, as it will be for us. However, there's no one I'd rather stand with than the strong, brave, compassionate and loyal people who call Canada home.

Canada walked away from the U.S. negotiating table. The U.S. introduced new nonsense at the 11th hour. I know it will hurt, but I'm proud of our government. My heart overflows with gratitude for this beautiful country and all who live here. You are the very best people to share a challenge with. 🇨🇦

Food companies wanted deregulation. Now there are dozens of recalls across the country. Mining companies wanted deregulation. Now the black lung rate is at a 45-year high. Financial companies wanted deregulation. Now financial losses to fraud are the highest on record. Noticing a pattern?

Canadians are under no obligation to purchase American alcohol or any other U.S. product, for that matter. The Trump regime has declared that the Western Hemisphere belongs to USA. And the Americans want to break Canada’s economy & annex us. Boycotting USA is THE response.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

there is no such thing as "age verification." All "age verification" is actually "identity verification." You can coat it in glitter and "privacy-preserving" wrapping paper. But in the end, mandating age verification means mandating surveillance be built into software and hardware. Period.

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

Fellow Canadians, let's keep going! Wasn't it wonderful knowing that we wouldn't experience explosive diarrhea because we haven't been buying produce from the U.S.? There are so many benefits to buying as many goods as possible from Canada and other non-U.S. countries. We've got this!
