RFK Jr. is reportedly going to forbid government scientists from publishing in the world’s most respected medical journals — the Lancet, The New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, etc. It’s going to take decades to repair the damage done by this administration.

Waiting for my car at the dealership and there are three older dudes waiting and oh my god the political hot takes are WILD. One is a Trump supporter (wtf in Canada) and I think I’ve almost bit through my tongue keeping my mouth shut.

Husband is running in the federal election and who boy do you find angry people and family members you never knew had such big feelings about stuff, than when you post something relatively innocuous. Really hateful stuff. It’s so tiring.

#caturday shenanigans

RFK Jr. is absolutely enraging me rn with his ‘autism epidemic’ BS. I cannot handle the blatant lies and rampant misinformation spewed by this ableist asshat with brain worms.

Oh we’re doing Satanic Panic again??

I had to lockdown my account over at the bad place because my husband is running in the Canadian federal election for the Liberal party in Quebec. Lots of reasons, but the most important things is that you VOTE! Vote for whomever you like but please VOTE!! #elxn45

In which your child sends you a picture of a piraña she caught in the Amazon during a field survey.

Ran into a great Canadian at the rink the other day.

Husband passed on his horrid head cold to me. Huzzah 🙌😖

Kiddo is in Peru on a school trip and they just declared a state of emergency in Lima with military on the streets. Luckily she’s on the Amazon so, not IN Lima, but will have to transit back through. 😖

Americans don't trust Trump's economic policies but they look at the Dems and shake their heads. Here's a simple solution: Dear Democrats... hold Canada's beer. We'll show you how it's done. www.axios.com/2025/03/16/t...

Government irresponsibility has consequences. The UCP’s junk science and fearmongering have eroded trust in vaccines—now, measles cases are rising, and kids’ lives are at risk. This is completely preventable. Parents, get your kids vaccinated.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

CBC science show Quirks and Quarks just had another great episode talking about the long term damage caused by each COVID infection. If you're starting to wonder why so many hard-core scientists are so contemptuous of our public health institutions, listen to this. www.cbc.ca/radio/quirks...

A possible Carney ad?

A Christian liberal arts university in the heart of B.C.’s Bible Belt has responded to allegations that the son of its president runs an influential white supremacist X account.

It was a bit cold this morning 🥶

Ok, that’s enough snow now thanks.

One of Canada’s foremost defamation experts says a sweeping interim injunction granted by an Alberta judge against the Breakdown, a popular web-based political commentary show, “is vulnerable to either being set aside or significantly modified” in a court hearing Friday thetyee.ca/News/2025/02...

Yay

Way to go Ontario. Way to stick it to yourself.

Canada looking around rn…

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Just a bit of snow to clear today….

Question: where did this stereotype that Canadians pronounce ‘about’ as ‘aboot’ even come from? I know regional accents and all but is this like a prairies thing? I nor anyone I’ve ever met IRL pronounces it this way.

So. Much. Snow. ❄️

Sooo, now might be a good time for a Canadian Forces recruitment drive?? No?

On the top of the CIBC building in downtown Windsor facing Detroit. Canada is not for sale! 🇨🇦🖕🏻🍁

Time to brush up

So, how confident are you flying into, through, or from the US right now?

Hmm... It has been brought up by some EU officials... that 🇨🇦Canada🇨🇦🍁should look to join the European Union to broaden it's trade relations is a non-American direction. There is nothing in the Canadian constitution that would prevent this from proceeding if we chose to do so.

Taking care of our neighbours.

They say that 1939 Britain stood alone against a despot. That's not true. Canadian kids were signing up in the thousands. We were there to defend British skies. Now Canada stands alone in the face of despotism.and there is crickets from our European allies. But we've got this. Canada. #strongasfuck

We are in the fight of our lives. But Canadians have been called to be heroic before and we have never been defeated. This is our time to defend our country. Le Canada est uni. Ce sera une période difficile, mais c’est l’occasion de bâtir notre nation et de célébrer notre solidarité. Vive le Canada

Happy Caturday from the voids + 2

….what?

The administration took down the reproductive rights website that women need access to. So The Skimm bought a url and brought the content back. Pass this on! Go to reproductiverightsdotgov.com

Yesterday Trump's people sent out signals that the trade war with Canada was over. Last night Donald came at us again. I know ordinary Canadian will stand up to this erratic/vengeful opponent. I urge my political colleagues to put Canada first. We face an unprecedented threat. On guard for thee

Despite patriarchy's persistence, growing numbers of men believe they have it worse off than women. And, new research shows this "male victimhood" ideology is most common among men who aren't facing hardship. Which means what they're really feeling is status loss. 1/ www.psypost.org/male-victimh...

Countries Refuse to Be Bullied by Depraved Wannabe Dictator Trump Since there is so much awful coverage in corporate media, the reports of how world leaders responded have been buried or ignored altogether. So I wanted to put it all in one place for everyone.

The @nytimes.com should hire whoever wrote this headline. Seriously!
