The requirement that women–not men–have their sex monitored, tested &proven legitimizes the distorted fantasy that men are trying to pass as women to win women’s sports competitions(why would they when women athletes are paid much less?) @moiradonegan.bsky.social

Pete Hegseth must not have heard of the 1918 pandemic, which started among American soldiers at Fort Riley, Kansas, killing more Americans than Germans in WWI. 64K died from the flu, over 53K in action. This administration is not only imbecilic but homicidal. They hate Americans.
COVID-19 was still the largest driver of hospitalizations for vaccine-preventable respiratory diseases in 2024 www.cihi.ca/en/priority-... via @cihica.bsky.social

Amen.
Vaccines are important, but a bigger part of nurse burnout is the low staff to patient ratios. Vote for governments that will protect public healthcare. Vote out Doug Ford. #onpoli
TRUMP TRIED TO DEFUND NPR. CONNIE BALLMER JUST WROTE THEM AN $80 MILLION CHECK.
Trump cut $1.1 billion in public media funding.
Shout out to Connie for funding one of the only news organizations and media outlets not owned by the Trump admin/US government or one of their proxy billionaires. $80 million. The largest donation from a living donor in the network’s history.
Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.
It doesn't have to be this way.

The “batteries can’t handle heavy haul” myth was already dead in 2023. South Australia launched an electric triple road train hauling mining loads at ~160 tonnes gross. Real truck. Real route. Real work. The future doesn’t ask permission from old narratives.
Yikes. That's terrifying.

Now get out and vote in the midterms like your life depends on it, because it does. #NoKings
When Democrats accuse Trump of a crime, it's because he actually did it.

Husband's hearing aid audiologist was impressed that he sticks silica dessicant packets in his hearing aid case.
"What a good idea!" she said. Making me wonder how come this isn't regular advice/practice?
Sharing in case it is of use to anyone!
Fuck Trump

"Protecting Canada" needs to mean more than militarism and extraction and exclusion. Let's remember to protect the nature that is all around us and that we are all apart of. 💚
Canada and Carney have promised to #ProtectNature. Let's hold them to it >> act.gp/4rJBnYg
I know breaking news is hard but I've several articles about the crash at LGA yesterday/today and none mentioned the persistent understaffing of air traffic control, and the absolute chaos the trump administration added to the system in the past year.
Scotland is now screening every newborn for a condition that can kill within two years. Here is what parents across the UK need to know.
Two pilots dead at LaGuardia. A lone controller managing two simultaneous emergencies. The FAA is 3,000 controllers short. We will blame the human. We should fix the system.

It is being reported on the ground in Cuba that everyone on a ventilator at this hospital died overnight.
As a Cuban, I'm devastated.
