Another case of #Canadians being snatched by #ICE 😞 This time, a mother and her 7-yr-old daughter, both in the country legally.

How many more will have to be taken before #Carney stands up to the US?

Family and friends are expressing fears for a Penticton, B.C., woman and her daughter who have been detained by U.S. authorities in Texas and are currently in an immigration holding facility. Tania Warner — a 47-year-old who family say is legally in the U.S. on a worker's visa — and Ayla Lucas were stopped at a U.S. border checkpoint on their way back from a baby shower.

New parents are shunning proven preventive care for their infants in effort to be 'natural'

Doctors across the nation are alarmed that skepticism fueled by rising anti-science sentiment and medical mistrust is increasingly reaching beyond vaccines to other safe and routine care for babies. A recent study in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that refusals of vitamin K shots rose steeply between 2017 and 2024. Those shots can prevent potentially deadly bleeding. A subsequent research review found that U.S. parents who declined vitamin K shots were 90 times more likely to also refuse the hepatitis B vaccine and an eye ointment that can prevent potentially blinding infections. Pediatricians say these refusals put their youngest patients at grave risk.

Hmmm. How many of these disgraced law firms have a partner named in the Epstein files? Just Brad Karp at Paul Weiss? Or did all the firms capitulate because they’re run by child rapists?

Here
on the first day of spring
the sun is out
and the trees are budding.

Here
on the first day of spring
the rabbits are back
and so too are the birds.

And here
on the first day of spring
everyone I know
is sick with “something.”

And now,
my friend,
you can finally say
that you have survived
six years of
this pandemic.

And yet,
my friend,
you cannot say
you still cannot say
that you have survived
this pandemic.
