Though I did develop some interesting new hobbies - I’m now something of an expert on ventilation, air purifiers, CO2 metres as a proxy for air quality, N95 mask construction and fit…🙄
How can we forget the incredible strain placed on every HCW literally risking their lives showing up for work? For me, taking care of my vulnerable partner with dementia, the constant vigilance coupled with the isolation was excruciating. Protecting her from Covid felt like a full-time job for yrs.
Forceful statement from his senior staff - can’t see how this is survivable. Presumably Swalwell drops out in the next 48 hours?
Let’s give him all the help he needs:

“Kristi Noem is so evil, I’m starting to think her dog took its own life.”

Oh crap. Boots on the ground. 😩 And still the American public remains silent, apathetic, and oblivious to the danger the world is facing.
I actually disagree - they aren’t going to stand up until the majority - you - get loud and noisy and demand change in huge numbers, then those remorseful voters will join in. But they lack the moral compass to lead you folks out if this mess.
Bingo. I think it is based on fear - and when you have a strong social safety net you reduce anxiety. But also the political divisions in 🇨🇦 are less rigid and there’s less of a sense of us & them. Mind you we are currently very unified in our fear & loathing of the US government.
Nothing - absolutely nothing - is going to stop this out-of-control authoritarian nightmare until the American people decide to stop scrolling, trolling and wringing their hands, and take responsibility for their nation. Protest every day like it’s 1970.
With respect, the courageous presence of the observers in Minnesota has had more impact on the public and lawmakers than No Kings. That kind of organic DAILY protest across the country is what’s needed - like during Vietnam. This is an emergency and it’s time to act like it is.
All the comments about oil prices, stock market crash & Epstein: these are all out of your control & they won’t remove tRump from office. Why won’t Americans take action and take to the streets in protest, call a General strike, some massive collective action? You can’t just wait for the midterms.
Happy Birthday Liisa 🎉🎂🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
If I’m reading this correctly, there’s a huge surge in Kingston - likely a big factor in the record-setting overcrowding at KHSC. 😳
This is a profound continental divide. Canadians overwhelmingly view other Canadians, even those unlike them, as being good people. Americans, more than any other country, view their neighbours and fellow citizens as bad people. Anti-Americanism flourishes in the United States

He got “trapped” on marriage equality? Oh f**k off Gavin.
4 years? What an utter disgrace. We are a failed society if we cannot care for our most vulnerable. Shame on us.
Honestly confused by this take. Your country is in an existential crisis, careening towards fascism, and the moment demands a formidable courageous leader. And you’re backing a guy who - checks notes- writes “strongly worded letters”? 😩
The Democrats’ Quisling-in-Chief has got to go. He is not able to meet this moment.
It’s how bullies and Fascists behave. We understand that and wish your fellow citizens would finally realize how far removed from decency your administration is.
And the GOP is doing everything it can to stop women from voting- hence the SAVE Act 😡
“Nick and the Whiny Little Incels” would be a great name for a Kid Rock cover band.
Yes, most of us have already buried our hockey skates and sticks in our backyards and the Stanley Cup is currently hiding in Sunrise, Florida.
