Make a little love

The rest of the world sees.
Angus: Canada can no longer view the United States as an ally. We know that Donald Trump doesn’t believe in liberal democracy—he doesn’t believe in the rule of law.

Prime Minister Carney is not welcoming the leader of the free world to Canada.

He is welcoming Vladimir Putin’s sock puppet.

Meiselas: A lot of marginalized communities see fair-weather supporters—people who are with them when it seems cool, and then abandon them when the seasons change. I think that’s bullshit.

I think you’ve got to stand with people and be who you are.

Jordy Meiselas: Americans are resilient, and it’s not going to be easy over the next couple of years—but democracy will prevail. I genuinely have hope. This is the greatest country in the world. Americans want it to succeed...

The church said it's terminating a decades-long partnership with the federal government to help refugees arriving in the U.S., citing moral opposition to resettling white Afrikaners from South Africa.

🧪It’s a shame when misunderstanding, misinformation, and intentional ignorance stymie breakthrough treatments for human diseases.
The mRNA/nanoparticle platform has saved over 20 million lives during Covid, is being used to treat cancer, rare diseases (via genome editing) and autoimmune diseases, no less many other infectious diseases w/o a vaccine. Now it's under siege.

Tariffs are taxation without representation. We wrote a whole Declaration of Independence about it. Threw tea in the harbor and everything.
