A Maine woman retired early to be a caregiver for her terminally ill mother.
Now she’s facing cancer herself, and because ACA subsidies won’t be extended, she is losing her healthcare.
Her costs are going up for $49,000 a year.
This isn’t healthcare, it’s eugenics.
Medicare for all.

Professor Snyder lays out why the “Peace Plan” isn’t peace at all:
1. Encourages nuclear proliferation
2. Breaks the basic rule of int'l order—respecting borders
3. Rewards the aggressor, risking wider regional conflict
4. Ignores reconstruction
5. Process excluded Ukraine and its allies entirely

We have a US administration trying to bully Ukrainians into accepting Russia’s proposal that their sovereignty be undone. Aside from the naked injustice of this, there are five basic practical reasons why it would make the world far more dangerous.

90% of deep fake images online are non-consensual pornographic images of women and girls.
And yet, these images are not yet illegal in Canada.

Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. This year's theme is digital abuse.
Fewer than 40% of countries have laws protecting women from cyber harassment or cyber stalking. This leaves 44% of the world’s women and girls without access to legal protection.

We are in a bizarre moment of diplomatic history. The purported "peace plan" that appeared a few days ago beings in Russian unreality and American weakness. Demanding everything of Ukraine and nothing of Russia, its purpose is imperialism and profiteering.

The Toronto Raptors are off to an 11-5. True, many of their away games were against some of the worst teams in the NBA. Unlike the recent past, however, they have not played down to the opposition. This team is a work in progress. It is more talented than in recent years. Go Raps!🏀🍁💪

One reason I still talk about personal responsibility is because of stories like this. One person’s decision not to vaccinate became 5,000 cases of measles.
The purpose is not shame. It’s to remind you that you can make a difference.

It is complicated for the conspiracy crowd because they project! They assume that others would do what they would do. What they don't understand is that those that are not conspiratorial don't think as they do.

On measles and vaccines, Canada can’t keep ignoring the elephant in the room
Study after study has shown that political affiliation is one of the single strongest predictors of vaccination status.
