I’m losing my mind. Hamas has accepted the ceasefire. (Hamas wrote the framework for an actual ceasefire in February.) The Zionist government has not. How many western leaders, organizations and journalists are going to repeatedly misled the public about this?
Scoop: G7 leaders will call on Hamas to accept the ceasefire deal outlined by Biden, according to a draft seen by Bloomberg.
Allies will also urge Israel to de-escalate from a “full-scale military offensive” in Rafah.
Another item in the draft that has yet to receive unanimous agreement relates to the recognition of the Palestinian state as part of a two-state peace process. “We note that the recognition of a Palestinian state, at the appropriate time, would be a crucial component,” the provisional language says.

1850s: Let's literally raise the entire city of Chicago in order to implement a clean water solution to stop the spread of Cholera.
2020s: Air filters? Fresh air? Too expensive! Would rather be sick every 3 months and become disabled.

Thread: My first-hand experience with Israeli kidnapping. Forget about Palestine for a second, this is about Lebanon. In June 1982, Israel started bombing Lebanon. In the middle-class Muslim neighborhood where I lived, Israeli fighter jets started dropping concussion bombs which

The Ontario government’s cancellation of wastewater surveillance directly contradicts the recommendation of the Ontario Public Health Emergencies Sciences Advisory Committee. Ontario residents deserve better. Ford’s #: 416-325-1941

This image showing the increasing disconnect between counted cases and wastewater data is a reminder that when someone says 'post-pandemic' it is not a factual or scientific statement, but rather an admittance of adoption of a cultural delusion propagated by capitalism.

Re the feds expanding wastewater pgm - testing sites will be drastically reduced. Regional variation in Ontario is huge. Without access to objective, local data, “assessing one’s own risk” to determine suitable levels of mitigation will be impossible. Call Ford: 416-325-1941

Israeli media reports that Israel has been added to the UN Secretary-General's 'list of shame' of countries that commit grave violations against children.
Canada cannot continue military trade with a country on the UN blacklist for killing children.
Arms embargo now.

Is Poilievre going to resign now in light of the confirmed foreign interference in his leadership win? Because he really is compromised and not a democratically elected opposition leader. How can he legally move forward to the election as PM, under these circumstance?

They changedthe name from SARS-2 to Covid to make it 'milder'
SARS = Severe acute respiratory syndrome

Just spitballing...
If you were advising a govt thinking about re-election, even calling an early election, you may recommend hiding bad news
Like waste water reports
That show an ongoing pandemic with no end
Or that could reveal emergence of a new, more deadly disease

Opposing genocide means you hate Jews. Opposing nuclear brinkmanship means you love Vladimir Putin. Mainstream political discourse is so pervasively dominated by the imperial war machine that even the most basic and obvious moral positions get framed as immoral and outrageous.

Phew, good thing Covid isn’t still spreading everywhere all the time so we aren’t just getting it over and over again… oh wait

Wr must remember that the reason Kenya has such draconian anti LGBTQ laws, isn't because Kenyans are innately more homophobic then anyone else, but because American evangelicals have pumped vast amounts of money into Kenyan politicals specifically to engineer that outcome

Neuroscientists are out here telling us that SarsCov2 is worse for the brain than viruses we're rightly scared of like Zika and HIV and this information is running into a brick wall at the institutional medical, media and political level
COVID-19 will never be like the Flu. Never.
At least not for the brain.
I would love to be wrong; please prove me wrong with evidence and real science!
It is quite simple. #SARSCoV2 can access the brain using several different mechanisms that Influenza cannot.
A: Viral infection of peripheral nerves (like olfactory bulb)
B: Damage of infected endothelial cells
C: Hijacking immune cells
D: Viral opening of tight junctions
Some studies show that some flu strains can use one or other mechanisms, and brain invasion can happen, but it is a weaker and rarer event. The same is true for other viruses.
I have spent hundreds of hours in the microscope looking at the worst viruses can do to the brain, including the Zika virus, HIV, Flu, and others. I've never seen the type of damage SARS-CoV-2 leaves behind after infection with other viruses.
I cannot comment on what happens in other organs, but #LongCovid can be caused by brain damage. It exists and is real.
