🍑 It's peach season! 🍑 And just like the rest of us, the tender fruit is coping with the many challenges of climate change. Scientist Jay Subramanian talks to @balkissoon.bsky.social about his work as Canada's last peach breeder, designing climate-resilient fruit for the future.

Booker: "Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in the lowest possible confinement after giving no information that helped us get one more investigation started and has been silent, and the man responsible for that we're about to make the attorney general of the US ... this is farcical."

My last article as the labour reporter at @pressprogress.ca is about.... media layoffs! Earlier this month, Rogers closed six stations and laid off 230 radio workers across the country. In Vancouver, the layoffs hit a newsroom that had struggled for years to unionize.

Jeanine Pirro should be disbarred. It is absolutely indefensible and gross misconduct to rush through a criminal indictment for political reasons before an investigation has been completed, which resulted in false evidence being presented to a grand jury.

UEFA has given FIFA President Gianni Infantino an ultimatum: resign or face a no-confidence vote, The Telegraph reports . It says all 55 members would back it. Only 43 votes are needed.

At some point you just have to conclude that the Trump supporters who are still left just knowingly love the lies, corruption and incompetence and have accepted it as their brand because nobody can be that naive and stupid.

Trump Regime: Bomb a girls elementary school - zero consequences for anyone. Refusal to accept responsibility. ICE shoots innocent people - zero consequences or acceptance of responsibility. Indict someone on false evidence - zero consequences or acceptance of responsibility.

So many sneering elitist journalists with snarky posts over the past months that the Reflecting Pool story was trivial. It was so trivial that the DC US Attny presented false evidence to a grand jury to indict an innocent man to please the President while they both lied about it.

Luke does incredible work, and this is exactly the kind of public oversight we need so critically right now, with democracy under sustained attack. Definitely subscribe!
