Man, I feel this. 🙏🏽😭
I don't even understand how this is possible. The inverter was a Canadian and he never patented it because he wanted access to the drug to be a human right. How did we get here? Should it not be a generic drug?
Actually, they sold it to the University of Toronto for $1. They wanted those that needed it to have access. Guess they didn’t foresee big pharma

What is Trump’s announcement? Wrong answers only.
Divorce!
Fuck him. He lost the right to what used to be the highest honour when he decided to side with Trump and betray the American people and the Constitution. Nothing Trump doles out is actually deserved. He ONLY supports those that can benefit him personally.

Thaaaat's the bathroom off the Lincoln Bedroom. WTF? Who is throwing what out the window of the White House?!
A comfortable life used to be the American Dream. Not being a financial mogul. Not fighting for the top spot on the food chain. Working to get your share of the pie with the whip cream on top. Grabbing enough food to fill your plate, but leaving plenty on the table for others. Let’s do that again.
The problem is thinking she was actually entrusted in a position to protect America. Her job is to perform. Nothing more.
Just like a hooker. 🤷♀️
Definitely NOT Trump.
Not Trump. The real Trump, who is one of the dumbest and least intellectually curious human beings on the planet, wouldn't know Kant from a Kunt. 😳👇

I am 76 & I have had most of these vaccinations at one time or another. Also vaccinations against Covid, Tetanus, plus Cholera & Yellow Fever when travelling in foreign countries. These prevented me catching horrible diseases & dying a gruesome death. They did not harm me, they protected me!
I notice it on newscasts more than anywhere else
Can someone Canadian, or maybe English, answer this question….why do Canadians (English?) say, for instance….the man is in hospital. Rather than, the man is in the hospital.? I’ve asked some of my Canadian friends and they never even noticed it until I pointed it out. 🤷♀️
Oh I’m so sad….😓 people.com/graham-green...
From Ballymena to Bucharest, Europe’s Roma face firebombs, forced evictions, & segregation. Politicians call it “order.” It’s really Europe’s oldest policy of exclusion. #RomaRights #Europe #News #politics #CitizenOfEurope
The Presidential Medal of Freedom is now less valuable than a few Chuck E. Cheese tokens.

Way to rise up San Diego Labor Day ✊
Lucky enough to spend some blessed time in Scotland the past couple of weeks, and a little in London, Wales and Dublin. Back during lockdown, I often dreamed of that part of the world and realized my internal soundtrack was so many Scottish bands….so I made a playlist:| berto.fyi/Mayhap

This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4
Being a tomato dumper is hard work. This crew of 28 pickers harvests thousands of 24lb buckets a day. That makes for a lot of work for the two dumpers. #WeFeedYou #LaborDay
“I heard the same message from Pope Leo that I heard from Pope Francis, which is the desire to welcome all people, including LGBTQ people,” the Rev. James Martin, S.J., told the AP. “It was wonderful. It was very consoling and very encouraging and, frankly, a lot of fun.” https://to.pbs.org/46hrN7l

It’s not the immigrants. It’s the billionaires ruining our country. Stop buying into the divisionary tactics of the oligarchy. It’s time to take back our country and power of the people #LaborDay
Does that mean we can expect sanctions on Russia now? Cuz Trump got his little feelings hurt
And what happened to Trump’s threat if Russia didn’t show progress? Where are the big sanctions?? Trump is a Putin bitch
Here in the US, “two weeks” actually means never.

Make no mistake, everything that’s happening in the United States is being significantly enabled by the right wing oligarch capture of media. Every other country needs to do everything possible to keep that from happening where they are. Including protecting the CBC from Poilievre here in Canada.

Even the Canadian province of British Columbia made a deal with China to build their new ferries. No one else bid on it, and BC Ferries didn’t want to wait many years for Canadian builders. There is a lot of blowback, so we’ll see. We NEED new ferries however 🤷♀️
