I can assure you, tariffs are not the way to end the opioid crisis… And this is the first time Trump has ever seemed to care about public health—which he doesn’t.

I have a big ask. My 9yo son is autistic and he’s been raising a betta fish he named Kevin. Yesterday He asked if he could “share a photo of Kevin with the whole world“. I don’t know if this will work, but a dad’s gotta try. Like and share if that’s your thing. Kevin says hi! 🐟👋

Yeah and Sask and Alberta are currently fighting 2SLGBTQ ppl in court, arguing that use of notwithstanding clause denies citizens the possibility of judicial recourse.
It’s a frightening precedent. No canadian media outside of Sask has reported on this.

i’m really about this idea where we rapidly acquire MN into Canada and get Tim Walz to run for & become PM, but I’m really struggling with the part where we have to do a renaming campaign for Mall of America, and also the K-MSP airport code because all the C-Y_ _ codes that make sense are taken.
