I am gravely alarmed by the use of force by the United States against Iran today. This is a dangerous escalation in a region already on the edge – and a direct threat to international peace and security.
There is a growing risk that this conflict could rapidly get out of control – with catastrophic consequences for civilians, the region, and the world.
I call on Member States to de-escalate and to uphold their obligations under the @UN Charter and other rules of international law.
At this perilous hour, it is critical to avoid a spiral of chaos.
There is no military solution.
The only path forward is diplomacy.
The only hope is peace.

Razor blade throat sounds relatively mild.
A Beijing resident, infected for nearly 10 days, experienced fever, sore throat, blood-streaked phlegm, nosebleeds, and extreme fatigue, calling this wave “terrifying.”
ALT China Grapples with COVID- 19 Surge Marked by Severe "Razor Blade Throat" Symptom Bill Giannopoulos In China, a new wave of COVID-19 is sweeping through, with patients reporting intense throat pain described as a "razor blade throat" —a sensation likened to swallowing shattered glass or razor blades.

It's amazing this needs to be said in 2025 but here we are. The real estate industry has spent shedloads of money on PR to convince you that market supply will fix your housing problem. But it won't

Enough. We demand rapid, safe, and unimpeded access to starving civilians in Gaza.
We have a plan. We have thousands of trucks of food at the border. Let us in. Let us work.

The situation for Palestinians in Gaza is beyond description, beyond atrocious & beyond inhumane.
A policy of siege & starvation makes a mockery of international law. The blockade against humanitarian aid must end immediately.
This is a moment for moral clarity & action.

Of course Sim invests in a shady fractional real estate trading company. Of COURSE.
"Mayor Ken Sim, an investor in Addy, has appeared at events hosted by the company...Sharing the stage with Addy co-founder Jagger to discuss civic issues, Sim said off the top: '...I am an investor, and I actually think it’s incredible what you’re doing.'" vancouversun.com/news/local-…

US-based conferences need to embrace videoconferencing
A French scientist traveling to a Houston conference was denied entry to the US after a search of his phone & computer revealed messages critical of Trump's science cuts.
No one should travel to the US & also how will conferences navigate this?

We strongly condemn @youralberta's plan to use taxpayer money to cover billions in cleanup costs owed by the oil and gas industry.
These are the same companies that owe rural municipalities across Alberta over $250 million in unpaid property taxes.

Lots of serious overdoses happening right now in Vancouver, likely due to the destabilization of the drug market and people hiding from the Barrage. If you use drugs, be careful. Use at an OPS and never use alone. Try a little at first. Go to an NA meeting.

My niece Layan, 14, was displaced for over a year, living in tents during the genocide.
Whenever I asked, “Where is Lolo?”, the answer was always: “She’s off to work!”
Lolo… and work?!
Layan gathered children from nearby tents and started a classroom, becoming “Miss Layan”, the beloved teacher amidst the ruins.
Israel killed Layan

Two new studies on #RSV find that older adults, those residing in rural areas, those with certain conditions, & nursing home residents had higher rates of hospitalization.
Who could have predicted this?

I love that whenever Pierre Poilievre is put on the spot he turns in GOB from that episode of Arrested Development when he was kept rattling off how much his suits cost.
Beyond slogans he’s got nothing.
Ask him questions and he crumbles.
Lol.

SICKENING—Trump’s DHS just deported a surgeon from Brown University Medical School—who is here legally on an H1B visa that doesn’t expire until 2027, and has committed no crimes. Trained in the U.S. at Ohio State, University of Washington, and Yale as a **transplant surgeon** (one of the most difficult surgical fields in all of medicine!!!), she is a highly trained doctor on kidney transplants, which cannot be easily replaced. Her phone was seized at the border. A federal judge handed down an injunction against her deportation—but she was already deported on a plane en route to Paris. Brown’s kidney transplant clinic is now strained by her deportation.
