    I am irrational about Assange, almost as irrational as the rabid people who insist on driving him mad. The cruelest punishment to a moral mind.

    The price of asthma medication has soared in the U.S. over the past decade and a half.

    The pharmaceutical company Teva sells QVAR RediHaler, a corticosteroid inhaler, for $286 in the U.S.

    In Germany, Teva sells that same inhaler for $9.

    As the clock ticks down to the Monday deadline, #Trump is exhibiting increasing rage in response to the $464 million judgement. He's posting rapid-fire, all-caps tweets on his personal safe-space, repeating his favorite made-up allegations, and personally attacking everyone he views as responsible for his predicament. I'm not going to go down the list, but literally everything he's saying on Troth Senshul is a demonstrable lie. The man isn't well.

    A teenager seeing his father and brother executed is a horror unimaginable to any of us who haven't experienced such a thing.

    It's a real renaissance for infectious #diseases in #Florida. #DeSantis' #antivaxx policies, and laissez-faire attitude towards #publicHealth has led to a massive spike in #leprosy infections in the state. Who the hell gets leprosy in 2024? Floridians, that's who! Nice job, Ron.

    Fun fact: In old English law, attempting to overthrow the government was considered high treason, a capital crime punishable by being drawn and quartered or beheaded. But in America, we do things slightly differently - instead, we offer traitors guest spots on MSNBC and greased pathways back to the White House to see if they can do high treason better next time.

    The IDF have lied so many times, how is it possible to believe anything, they are their own worst enemies. Have they been taught to believe everyone else is stupid? Once trust is lost, it can be forever.

    Iranian authorities have executed political dissenters at what the UN chief described as ‘an alarming rate.’

    But don’t expect the U.N. to act decisively.

    “For the long-suffering, stateless Kurdish nation, the U.N. has so far failed to rescue them from their hell on earth,” writes Haidar Khezri of University of Central Florida.

    The rare US press coverage of Iran involves demeaning the whole country and all of it's people. When the students in the Arab Spring were executed, silence.

    "Israeli police blocked a convoy of humanitarian aid organised by Jewish activists from entering Gaza at the Kerem Shalom crossing."

    "Members of Standing Together, a Jewish-Arab movement for peace, equality and social justice in Israel, said they will not leave the border before delivering aid to Gaza."

    Michael Cohen, who should know, says Trump does not have the assets to cover the fines from the judgements against him. His real estate is insufficient, has mortgages, and any profits would be subject to capital gains. He just doesn't have the money, and no way to raise it.

    Jamil Jivani, 's candidate in the March 4 by-election in , Ontario, doesn’t live in Durham.
    He’s never lived in Durham.
    He’s a parachute candidate who has absolutely no connection to the riding & every conservative operative across Canada is helping him cover up his views. Bell Media fired him in 2023 for his discriminatory comments.
    ➡️​ Jivani is also a former adviser to Premier Ford
