Opinion | Measles Took My Daughter. This Is What I Want Everyone to Know.

“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.”

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

During talks between U.S. and Iranian delegations in Pakistan, the topic of Ukraine unexpectedly came up.
While discussing U.S. guarantees in the event that Iran halts uranium enrichment and abandons the development of nuclear weapons, the Iranian side asked how the United States is fulfilling the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, in which it pledged to respect and protect Ukraine’s sovereignty.
The U.S. delegation left the question unanswered.

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?

Opinion | Cuba needs real regime change, not a Trump-friendly despot The president says Havana may be "next" after Iran. What does that mean?

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.

Fact File: No evidence Carney threatened emergency powers against Alberta separatists Claims that Prime Minister Mark Carney said he would invoke the Emergencies Act to quash Alberta independence appeared online last week. It was said Carney made the comments while addressing

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.

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.
