CDC backpedals on vaccines and autism, despite earlier assurances from RFK Jr.
The CDC, under the direction of an unqualified health secretary, is now promoting claims that flunk Logic 101.

This kind of violent language is unacceptable and irresponsible for anyone to use, including the President. Now is the time to lower, not raise, the temperature, and it is deeply alarming to see this rhetoric coming from the White House.

This is why America can no longer be trusted as an ally
Someone recently questioned me about whether I was actually being serious when I spoke of the serious threat posed to our nation.
They wondered if I was fear-mongering about Trump.
I wish I was.

Getting to see some of this amazing downtown Vancouver bike infrastructure for myself. It's wonderful!
It’s really important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally against bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of ACTUAL EVIDENCE that they’re better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced.
Safe bike-lanes mean business.

As a public servant, I provide mental health care to BC's most vulnerable kids. Our wages have not kept up with cost of living over the 15 years I have worked for the gvt. The public service has been hollowed out and mental health care is decreasing in availability and declining in quality.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.
