ABLEISM ENTRENCHED: Inside the Pedagogical Politics of Canada’s MAiD Curriculum This article seeks to illuminate the chasm that exists between the promise of a stringent, humane and equitable MAiD regime and the actual realities of MAiD for non-dying persons [known as Track 2, or...

MUST READ. @cfraz.bsky.social just published a paper documenting her experiences during her 2-yr engagement w the Canadian Association of MAiD Assessors & Providers [CAMAP]. It is damning. Plausible deniability is off-the-table for those at helm of MAID. No paywall

These Artemis images are truly spectacular.

art002e009289 (April 6, 2026) – The lunar surface fills the frame in sharp detail, as seen during the Artemis II lunar flyby, while a distant Earth sets in the background. This image was captured at 6:41 p.m. EDT, on April 6, 2026, just three minutes before the Orion spacecraft and its crew went behind the Moon and lost contact with Earth for 40 minutes before emerging on the other side. In this image, the dark portion of Earth is experiencing nighttime, while on its day side, swirling clouds are visible over the Australia and Oceania region. In the foreground, Ohm crater shows terraced edges and a relatively flat floor marked by central peaks — formed when the surface rebounded upward during the impact that created the crater.

art002e009285 (April 6, 2026) – Our planet draws closer to passing behind the Moon in this image captured by the Artemis II crew during their lunar flyby, about six minutes before Earthset. Earth is in a crescent phase, with sunlight coming from the right. The dark portion of Earth is experiencing nighttime. On Earth’s day side, swirling clouds are visible over muted blue in the Australia and Oceania region. The lines of small indentations on the Moon’s rugged surface are secondary crater chains. These structures are formed by material ejected during a violent primary impact. Image Credit: NASA

The president speaks genocide The words, the law, the future

“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.”
These are the words of the president of the United States, today.
The president speaks genocide. And so we too must speak. Not only about crimes, but about their legal punishment.

The facts suggest two interpretive frameworks for Iran: a foreign war as a mechanism to destroy democracy at home; and a foreign war as an element of personal corruption by the president of the U.S.

In case you’re just waking up, the U.S. has teamed up with Israel overnight to start an illegal war of regime change, apparently on a presidential whim with no involvement of Congress, and they are already committing horrific atrocities.

imo the threat posed by CBS News and CNN getting absorbed by pro-regime billionaires isn't that they're going to produce right-wing slop that convinces people to be right-wing, it's the dismantling of newsrooms capable of doing investigative reporting on the administration. Fewer eyes on the street.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

The Winnipeg Jets have agreed to terms with defenceman Dylan Samberg.

The deal is three years, $5.75 million AAV.

Winnipeg Jets Scheifele hit with personal loss ahead of Game 6

“We’re a family and we’re going to do everything we can to support Mark.”

Here’s @wiebesworld.bsky.social from Dallas with the story on the sudden passing of Mark Scheifele’s father, Brad.

Headline: ICE came for their neighbor so these Tennesseans formed a human chain to protect him

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

Grabbed at his appointment to become a citizen. Is this who we are? 😕🇺🇸

Cory Booker is 23 hours in and somehow seems to be gaining strength

Call it anecdotal, but my Canadian friends who are cancelling their US travel are not doing it because of tariff worries at all; they’re doing it because the US government is currently actively threatening Canada’s sovereignty and economy and they’re all justifiably furious

X post by Amy Nixon (@texasrunnerDFW ), featuring a verification badge. The post reads, "The USA is weird now. If you're a person under 30, you probably think it's normal but that's because you don't know. Trust me. It's weird."

America hasn’t felt this upside down since I was a child in an internment camp.

Have you tried dipping it in chocolate/ ketchup?

Maxar confirms it stopped sharing satellite imagery with Ukraine due to Trump's halt on intelligence, also Maxar in 2024 was a prime suspect in the sale of satellite imagery to Russia used to coordinate strikes on Ukrainian targets. #StandWithUkraine

news in america: you will have to drink shit in water. we are going to end education. we will deport you for having the wrong opinion

news in any other country:

Stalin blamed the kulaks for their own starvation. Anyone who blames Zelensky for Trump's decision to cut arms and intelligence has succumbed to the same logic.

I'm seeing some claim the Harris campaign lost because they tacked to the right and others saying the Harris campaign lost because they defended trans women playing sports.

These two claims are inconsistent with one another, but I'm not surprised since people are just saying anything nowadays.

Counteroffer: we nationalize SpaceX and you go to prison

New poll now has a 4-point lead for the Liberals in Canada.

Today Trump got dogwalked by President Claudia, held a meeting to say Elon is not in charge I am in charge and then talked about the hair of an astronaut. Typical president day

It is as though the Trump people have a list of concessions to Russia they must make and a list of Russian talking points they must repeat. This one is cruel and absurd.

There will be bank runs and breadlines to name after him, hundreds of thousands of preventable deaths around the world, and countless grifts. Trump will never be synonymous with anything but greed and carnage
