In 1999 I earned $8/hr & paid $600/month for a nice 1-bdrm apartment in PDX. I earned approx. $1,200/month to make rent. Today that same apt is almost $2,500/month & that same job pays $15/hr which amounts to approx. $2,080/month. It’s time to burn it all down & fixed the rigged system.
Smith on respecting First Nations and Treaty Rights...
Well really, I only have to take the treaties seriously and show respect if the separatists get the signatures, I wouldn't want to offend anyone!

Meanwhile, on the health file, the 🇨🇦Conservatives have Pierre Polievre as the leader who hates expertise, incited the anti-vaxx KuKluxKonvoy truckers and promises to ban all vaccine mandates so your kids can get polio, whooping cough, measles, mumps, COVID etc etc.

Me too. Deleted and reported as spam.
youtube.com/shorts/Aks3Q... and what did Trump do? He laughed, and said ‘I guess that means I own the tallest building now’. He scammed $150k from the 9/11 assistance fund, lying that his building had damage, yet, THIS is the kind of person who gets elected - TWICE. He doesn’t care. USA? Really?
“Unlike the car, the e-cargo bike afforded a unique sensitivity to the natural world and local environment [that] enabled parents to train their children in local geography and responsible mobility.”

Looks like civil war has started in the USA.
If you don’t fallow Charlie Angus (you really should) here’s his reaction to that ridiculous letter from Maine.

I think a lot about this from P.J. O’Rourke:
“The Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work and then they get elected and prove it.”
Trillium Health came to my door asking for donations to build a new public hospital in Waterloo.
I told them: I respect your work-but no. I already pay taxes. Doug Ford is hoarding billions and
starving public healthcare.
Ask him where the money went. #ONpoli

28C in my classroom today. Lots of cranky kids.
Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.
This is a sensible explanation of what went down at the G7 today - and why tRumpy is beating a hasty retreat.
Living in Ontario is getting worse by the day.
Doug Ford is as bad as Trump, in a smaller playground.
So many bad bills it is hard to keep up.

Trump had an Oval Office meltdown over Wall Street’s new acronym for his tariffs: TACO Trade, which stands for “Trump Always Chickens Out.”
#TACO
Trump gets asked about the #TACO trade: 🌮
@followtheh.bsky.social
Thou shalt call Donald a TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out) from now on because HOLY SHIT HE HATES IT.

See you there!

Today is the last day for Ontarians to comment on Bill 5, which would wipe out the the Endangered Species Act and give cabinet the power to create “special economic zones” where development can be pushed through without regard for provincial or municipal rules. #onpoli
This is my favorite post today and it isn’t even close
Please Ontario people - read this. Ford is destroying this province. Ontario is killing its Endangered Species Act. Here’s what you need to know: thenarwhal.ca/ontario-enda...

This research article investigates the cardiovascular effects of Long COVID, specifically how SARS-CoV-2 impacts heart cells (cardiomyocytes) at the mitochondrial level. Here are the key findings: - **Mitochondrial Damage:** Analysis of heart tissue from five Long COVID patients revealed widespread mitochondrial abnormalities and degradation of muscle fibers (myofilaments) in heart cells. - **Animal Studies:** Similar mitochondrial damage was observed in SARS-CoV-2-infected mice, suggesting a common mechanism. - **Proteomic Changes:** The study identified significant changes in proteins related to mitochondrial function in infected mouse heart tissue. - **Severe Cardiac Outcomes:** The five patients experienced conditions such as myocarditis, myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease, and sudden cardiac death during exercise. - **Long-Term Health Risks:** The study emphasizes the need for ongoing cardiovascular monitoring for individuals recovering from COVID-19 due to potential lasting effects on heart health. Overall, the findings suggest that SARS-CoV-2 directly harms mitochondria in heart cells, potentially explaining the cardiovascular complications seen in Long COVID patients. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2090123225003066
