Arguably the most famous children’s hospital of all, St Jude’s, was founded the year before that dumbass and I were born.

When we were little in the 60s, scary diseases were still around hence the big push for school vaccines. He knows this. He’s just desperate to be right.

β€œMy father would have been ashamed of this Republican Party,” he said. β€œHe would have been embarrassed and ashamed that a president of the United States was as incompetent and traitorous as the man occupying the White House now. He’s a disgrace to the office of the presidency.”

Important read right now.

β€œThe lesson is not to abandon joy, but to refuse to let joy erase reality. To understand that the lives we wantβ€”the laughter, the games, the peaceβ€”are the very lives denied to those seized in the dark.”

So you should really watch this. Just 2 minutes. But a window into the truly radical nature of the people Trump is nominating.

Angus: Canada is reconsidering that relationship with China. Why? Because we can no longer trust the US.

And we know that we have 150, maybe more, Canadians in custody at ICE detention centers. We had two Canadians under Chinese custody and it caused a huge outcry. We now have over 150 in the US.
