“What I didn’t know was that measles can cause long-term complications. A child can seem fine while the virus slowly replicates in her brain… Because both Britain and the United States are confronting outbreaks, I am sharing my story. Parents should know just how dangerous this disease is.”

Emails released on Monday by California’s attorney general show Amazon allegedly colluding with other companies to raise the prices of pet treats, khaki pants, eyedrops and other products sold online
At this point, you could argue that the damage Mandelson has done to Labour over the years by far outweighs the contribution he made to its revival in the early 1990s

I teach bystander intervention for a living & I spend all my days thinking about building community care, breaking isolation, etc.
I wish more people understood how community banks, local grocery stores, door-to-door mail service, etc. are all tiny, but important ways that we build connections.
👏 Canada 👏 Post 👏 is 👏 a 👏 public 👏 service 👏
Nothing proves how capitalism has brain rotted everyone than thinking the post office, hospitals, public transit, libraries, etc. need to turn a profit to be worthwhile.
Why would anyone expect a public service to make money?
If we're going to use this as a standard, how much money did the RCMP and the Canadian Armed Forces "lose" in the past eight years?
Trump issued an executive order claiming that Cuba “constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat” to the United States. In truth, William LeoGrande, a Cuba expert at American University, told me, “The evidence that Cuba is a national security threat is vanishingly thin.” wapo.st/4vLxQfs
Canadian doctors obeying a U.S. executive order that doesn’t even apply to Canada is deeply offensive to both trans people and to Canadian legal sovereignty.
… and yes our local UCP/CPC asshole with the F Trudeau flag (I know… still) was haranguing people walking by on Saturday about this.
I’m shocked. Shocked. That the separatists and their UCP/CPC buddies would lie. Shocked.
A video from Hamilton in which Carney is seemingly heard referring to the use of emergency powers in fact uses spliced audio from a campaign event in 2025, where his comments were unrelated to Alberta separatism.

Calling inflation caused by the rise in oil prices a made in Canada problem is so dumb that you can only hope they know they’re lying
It’s that time of year again: the switch from the spouse wanting espresso to iced coffee… it’s 25c on the balcony, but of course she’s not going to enjoy seeing snow again two days from now ;-)
Again: young people might not realize that this kind of repugnant racism was unacceptable to express publicly, *not that long ago*.
We are back to pretending that Trump is a rational actor and that the reason we don’t have a tariff deal is Carney. #QP
People forget: Anthony Furey was a *terrible* columnist, in every way
RIP a century of law enforcement attempts to infiltrate the Cosa Nostra.

A clip from The New York Times reads: "But only the entities that officially paid the tariffs are eligible to recover that money. That means that the fuller universe of people affected by Mr. Trump’s policies — including millions of Americans who paid higher prices for the products they bought — are not able to apply for direct relief. The extent to which consumers realize any gain hinges on whether businesses share the proceeds, something that few have publicly committed to do. Some have started to band together in class-action lawsuits in the hopes of receiving a payout."
The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.

Dunno who this person is but she's in all the videos they're posting.

Somewhat concerning given her government’s “friendliness” with separatist scum
