After my post on vaccinating my children when they were babies, I got asked to have ‘nuanced’ convos with antivaxxers.

No.

I’m not platforming lies that led to the drop in vaccines, sick children with lifelong impacts and dead children.

Vaccines save lives and protect health.

Period.

"In her statement, posted on the Danish government website, [Danish Prime Minister Mette] Frederiksen said she was addressing the US 'very directly'.

She said Denmark - 'and thus Greenland' - was a NATO member and covered by the alliance's security guarantee"
Danish PM tells Trump to stop 'threats' against Greenland
Mette Frederiksen said the "US has no right to annex any of the three nations in the Danish kingdom".

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again. It would seem that the world has binned documented history in favour of the rhetoric of the loudest and most ill-informed revisionists in the room.
We need to call that shit out every single time it rears its ugly head.
OMG people, does NO ONE remember history??

Quick update for US media: the story is not about Maduro or what’s going on in Venezuela. It’s about the massive rupture in US history where the country now stands for invading and occupying any country it likes.

Trump in his press conference made it very clear this is a new age. Did you miss that?

Have we learned nothing?

Hitler’s annexation of countries was initially met with appeasement, encouraging more annexation; after WW 2 the United Nations was created to prevent WW 3 by outlawing annexation.

Winston Churchill: “An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last”
"Mexico strongly condemns and rejects the military actions carried out unilaterally ... by armed forces of the United States of America against targets in the territory of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, in clear violation of Article 2 of the [UN] Charter"

Abysmal statement from Canada on the illegal US action in Venezuela.

It doesn’t matter how much you dislike Maduro, that doesn’t justify a violation of international law and the UN Charter. You can’t call on “all parties” to respect international law and not call out US lawlessness.
Please see my statement on the situation in Venezuela:

This is the crazy state of the world in 2026: Speaking with Canadians this morning, we agree unanimously that we feel vulnerable sitting on a wealth of natural resources and, if our duly elected Prime Minister Carney were captured, we would fight.
