A Université de Montreal (UdM) study found buyers looking for rare succulents and cacti are willing to flout the law, and it is easy for them to do it.

Seeing that no press freedom orgs have rushed to defend and help @rachelgilmore.bsky.social makes me ask, for the millionth time, what do CJFE, PEN, etc even do? Why exist at all when you do fuck all to fight censorship and intimidation?

To all our international friends attending the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony in Milan tomorrow: Please loudly boo JD Vance and his delegation. Make him feel like shit. We encourage it. We wish we could be there to boo him, too. Signed, the American people

🚨 New: We built a visual tracker of the warehouses ICE is targeting across the US. Working off an idea from @actualkatherine.bsky.social, we’ve mapped active searches, canceled deals, and linked state property records. Explore the map here: tinyurl.com/ICEWarehouse...

Found the video and it’s even funnier than you think

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

We must unequivocally stand with the people of Greenland and absolutely no one should give into this bullying. We should immediately implement economic measures to target Trump's oligarch friends like digital service taxes. We must escalate & force Trump's withdrawal or Canada is next. #CDNpoli

I rarely peek my head into this app, but I feel like the other social media platforms are slowly getting worse and weirder. So greetings from me in Ontario, and have a gratuitous butt pic...(you do not want to see mine, believe you me).

Just a friendly reminder that we can comment or joke about someone without resorting to comments about their weight, size of their sex organs, looks, etc. If they are an abhorrent person, you can just say that. People don't need to see you making fun of someone for something that they experience.

I love these! Maybe you can get one, too?

I have completed 59 circuits of the sun today. Hoping my next year will be better.

I was deeply honored to meet President Zelensky via Zoom when he asked me to become an ambassador for UNITED24 to raise funds for surveillance drones. I'm proud to have walked this road with @u24.gov.ua to support the sovereign nation of 🇺🇦 & so grateful to all who have donated! 🙏❤️👍 #SlavaUkraine

What if COVID doesn't just make sick, but makes us easier to infect? Experts say the virus is chipping away at our immune systems. But some aren’t convinced. I spoke with doctors, scientists, and parents caught in a relentless cycle of illness, and here's what I found:
