Mifepristone is safe and effective—and has been widely used for over 30 years. In fact, it’s safer than viagra. But Trump officials want to rip away access to medication abortion in ALL 50 states. It was never about states’ rights—it was ALWAYS about controlling women.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court gave Trump the greenlight to steamroll ahead on his $600M ballroom. Trump's billionaire buddies and corporations gave millions in "gifts" to bankroll it. Many have big stakes in federal contracts and actions. It's a gold-encrusted gateway for corruption.

Happy birthday for tomorrow to Mary Shelley who was born on the 30th August 1797. 🎂 Did you know that in her most famous novel, she wrote that Dr Frankenstein travelled to #Orkney to create a mate for his monster? So that was nice. She must have thought it was lovely here.

This warms the heart. #LakeOntario #Canada #CdnPoli

Just as Trump was readying for a second term last year, I wrote on "Why Canada should join the EU". Mark Carney will be visiting Brussels soon to attend Ursula von der Leyen's "State of the Union" speech -- something not even EU leaders do! www.economist.com/europe/2025/...

Why Canada should join the EU

Europe needs space and resources, Canada needs people. Let’s deal

“In broad strokes, the modern human population evolved from a merger of two ancient groups around 300,000 years ago, roughly 80% from one, and 20% from the other. The uniformity of this signal in all living populations suggests that it was a true formative event.” www.johnhawks.net/p/modern-hum...

Modern humans evolved from an 80-20 mixture of two deep streams

Genome models are converging on a scenario in which two stem lineages separated 1.5 million years ago, and merged together 300,000 years ago.

Canada's largest ice cream company used to source its fruits and nuts from U.S. suppliers — some for over 30 YEARS. Then, Trump imposed a 25% tariff on Canadian products. So, what did Chapman's do? They called Italy. They called Spain. They signed multi-year contracts with European suppliers.

Canada's Mark Carney has shown the EU what walking away from Trump could look like. But would Brussels dare call out the US president and reject his demands that allies play by his rules? For Europe, it's complicated. #EuropeNews

Canada walked away from Trump. Could the EU ever do the same?

Many people believe climate change is *real* and a serious concern. But polls show that only ~2-3% of people rank climate change as their *top* concern. Other things -- like inflation, health, security -- always rank higher. So we need to show how climate solutions offer many *other* benefits.

Project Drawdown@projectdrawdown.bsky.social · 2mo ago

The ability to sort climate solutions by their additional benefits, like cleaner air and improved human health, means you can now build a stronger case for implementation than the climate benefit alone. And in today's "climate", can't we all use a little boost? Check it out! #climatesolutions

You might have seen posts on social media suggesting that higher CO2 levels in the air can affect our physiology. That seems unlikely to me, since our lungs and kidneys can easily adjust bicarbonate levels in our bloodstream. You can read more here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
