People with trauma histories often interpret neutral cues as negative.
"You can come if you want." sounds to them like the person doesn't actually want them to come.
Affirming that you want them there helps remove any doubts.

He has been relentlessly attacked by Trump and his MAGA trolls for speaking out.

By all means keep them together and continue the work. If Canada becomes the hot spot for medical advances then sobeit. Maybe they'll return when the US jails everyone in Washington (and beyond) who's currently working against our people
Canada is launching a new initiative to pull top scientists & doctors away from the U.S. as Trump targets H-1B visa holders. Dr. Bobby Mukkamala (@ama-assn.org ) says physicians may think to themselves, “‘I'm going to go to Canada because it's going to be a welcome mat instead of a bill.’” #Velshi
Canadian initiative aims to scoop top talent from U.S. Will it work?
As the Trump administration cracks down on immigration and guts science research funding, Canada has launched an initiative to attract top scientists and highly-skilled H-1B visa holders away from the U.S. This comes after the Trump administration slapped $100,000 fees on new H-1B visas, which has an outsized impact on health care sector workers. Dr. Bobby Mukkamala says physicians are likely to go to Canada “because it's going to be a welcome mat instead of a bill.” However, former U.S. Ambassador to Canada David Cohen says of Canada’s new initiatives: “I don't see them moving the needle in a significant way.”

I responded quickly that I was glad this wasn't coming out, as it's so late and these autopsies are almost always terrible.
Yet Greg—who does so much good reporting that it's impossible to keep up with it all— is dead on that we need an accounting of Future Forward's execution.

A big reason this is bad is it could let the Future Forward Super PAC escape any accountability for the 2024 loss. It had hundreds of millions of dollars in donor money, and the DNC report was reportedly going to fault them. Now this will remain undisclosed:

The climate headwinds have felt stronger and uniquely destructive this year. However, at Project Drawdown, we are NOT slowing down our work on climate solutions - we are stepping up in a big way.
There is no scientific or ethical reason to stop fighting for the future! 💚 if you agree!

I agree with all this — sick leave is essential to a healthy society. While we’re working on that, though, we need to make it a general norm that if you MUST be around others while sick, you wear a mask (preferably a good one).
3/ Isolation is important but only works if people can afford it. Many people simply can’t stay home when sick. Without meaningful sick pay, asking people to isolate is unrealistic. Better financial support is essential to reduce transmission.
