King Charles will be opening Canada's parliament later this month — the first time the English monarch has done so in 50 years. He'll be delivering PM Carney's first speech from the throne.

It's a clear bit of symbolism as Canada tries to re-orient back towards Europe and way from America.

‘Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’

One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.
RFK Jr. asks CDC for new measles treatment guidance amid his unfounded claims
Kennedy claimed that drugs like budesonide and clarithromycin "have been shown very effective" for measles, but doctors say they don't fight the infection itself.

Morning Canada. Only 4 days until the election; 1,187 days since Russia invaded Ukraine. The US has presented a peace deal that amounts to capitulation and that Putin will certainly not honour. Yesterday Trump resumed gibbering about Canada as a US state, and this guy is now a White House reporter.

If six months ago you'd told me that in autumn 2025 I'd have to go to Canada to get my annual COVID vaccine but I wouldn't do it because coming back through immigrations was too risky for someone who had criticized the government, I would have looked at you like you were having a stroke.
In what proportions is our new NIH Director a flaming ignoramus vs. a brazen liar?

Watching The Morning Show and we are at a covid flashback episode and it just makes me so sad and angry because people took things seriously for a while.

We could be in a better more accessible place now. But no. People wanted things to be “normal”.

Hi I used to work at Starbucks customer service: if you call or email about this, they are absolutely tracking those numbers, and a sufficient amount of public pushback does make them rethink shit sometimes, so now would be an EXCELLENT time to let them know they’re being ableist shitheads

The complete disregard for this man's fundamental rights, the gleeful cruelty with which the government is destroying his life and that of his family... That's the essence of the Trumpist regime, the core promise of Trumpism as a political project.

This is so hard to read. I hope everyone reads it.
