As pathogens spread unchecked and babies get botulism from baby formula, here is what the contemptible leaders as the FDA are focused on.

Just bottom feeders.

This tracks with my experience. DHS made up stories like this in Chicago, too. Every story ICE told about being attacked by community members was debunked in court. To assume anything they say is even potentially credible is irresponsible and out of touch with reality.
Re: the ICE actions in south Minneapolis Monday. DHS said "rioters" attacked officers with rocks and pepper spray. Note: I received lots of evidence and didn't see any rocks, the only pepper spray I saw was ICE agents sometimes spraying each other. I did see snow and possibly ice being thrown. (1)

Anyone who raised the warning signs early on were told to be quiet by Carney fans.
His key appointment choices seem mostly male.

"Carney, meanwhile, has eschewed Trudeau’s emphasis on feminism and has even stated that Canada does not have an explicitly feminist foreign policy.

“Increasingly, many people in positions of power seem to be men in his circle,” Marland said."

This is 95% great. I think "Green New Deal" sucks and is dépassé. It needs a better name.
Carney is throwing money at the war machine; we're fighting for a Canadian Green New Deal. Who's going to turn down cheaper bills for heat, AC, & their commute in favour of sucking up to weapons contractors?

Here is a map of the affected countries (excluding Tonga), to give you a sense of how much this new ban restricts immigration from Africa in particular.

Of the newly-added country, Nigeria faces the largest impact, with tens of thousands of visas issued every year to Nigerians.

This is likely going to get me yelled at or at least grumbled about again but lots of young people were not told the truth about PhD programs over the past 2 decades. There wasn't an honest accounting that most of them were not going to get tenure track jobs even if they really wanted them.

My family stopped over on the weekend on their way back from San Diego (death in the family) and now we are all very sick. If this is the flu that we’ve been warned about (we all had our shots) it is no joke, people. We are not sure who gave it to whom, and not sure it matters at this point. 🤧😷🥴

Of course Palantir’s Joe Lonsdale & the Cicero Institute is deeply involved in this ineffective & inhumane plot to place unhoused Utah residents into indefinite detention in concentration camps.

How soon before AB, possibly even BC follow suit?

The BC Basic Income Panel found that almost half of those living in poverty were essentially full time, full year workers. The idea that poverty is confined just to those without jobs and those on income assistance is a zombie idea. Kudos to @gillianpetit.bsky.social and Maytree for this report!

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago.

His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."

He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm.

Plain speaking like this is long overdue.
A nuclear-armed U.S. under full totalitarian control is an existential threat to billions of people. To life on this planet.

It's up to us, U.S. citizens living here in the imperial core, to stop it. Nobody is coming to save us. Not the U.N., not the ICJ. It's us or it's nobody.
