It's a great day for democracy in Alberta. Get active today folks. It's time to take the fight to the quisling regime of Danielle Smith.
Excited to share that our work previously shared as a preprint is now out today in it's final peer-reviewed form in PLOS One! #OpenAccess
Canadian natural science graduate stipends lie below the poverty line, by Fraass et al. 2025
Petition to the House of Commons Whereas: Canada faces increasing national security risks in a complex and shifting geopolitical landscape, and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) warns that political parties, elected officials, and candidates are potential targets for foreign interference; In this context, it is in Canadaβs national interest for every federal party leader to hold top-secret security clearance: This ensures that all leaders are properly briefed on potential national security threats within their respective parties and take timely, informed action to protect Canadaβs interests; and The leader of the Conservative Party of Canada refuses to seek top-secret security clearance, and this is a failure of leadership and exposes Canada to avoidable national security risks. We, the undersigned, citizens, call upon the House of Commons to require all federal party leaders to obtain and maintain top-secret security clearance to ensure they are fully informed of threats to Canadaβs national security and able to act decisively to protect Canadians and our democracy. History Open for signature February 6, 2026, at 1:58 p.m. (EDT) Closed for signature April 7, 2026, at 1:58 p.m. (EDT)
URGENT: Sign and share this petition which recommends all Canadian federal party leaders be obliged to get their SECURITY CLEARANCE. πππ
Canada needs this more than ever during these times of chaos

A reminder that we can expect and must demand so more from political leadersβincluding moral clarity.
I was fortunate to have Ami, a great speechwriter, work with me on several White House speeches.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social needs to resign, he canβt do his job or responsibilities.

Bob Dylan once said a single folk singer could defeat an entire army. Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have our man.
Tip for Californians- @padilla.senate.gov doesnβt allow VM at his DC office during non business hours (which seriously??) but you can leave a message at a local office. Neither CA Senators ever have people answering the phones in my experience at any office even during business hours.
Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin.
Here is a photo he used for several accounts.
Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump β 3 in House & 20 in Senate). Thatβs it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.
Absolutely. This. More of this.

Local journalism matters.
Is it just me that feels we are living in a world where Marty McFly didn't punch Beef??
Donald Trump retweeted a post from Rapid Response 47. His post says Big news for the USA! President DJT. The original post said Federal employment is now at the lowest level since 2014 -- down by 271,000 jobs since President Trump took office. Promises made, promises kept.
271,000 people have lost their jobs and federal spending has ctually increased. So people get less services, while we added debt paying for private jets for Kristi Noem, bulletproof cars for Kash Patel. This is what the rust belt voters demanded.
A political cartoon showing Pres. Trump speaking into a microphone leading a Christmas pageant. He is saying, "At Christmas we celebrate the birth of Jesus! Great guy⦠He did a lot of good things, some not so good, but a lot of good things, and a lot of people love him⦠A lot of people love me and celebrate my birth. Maybe even more people⦠You go online and you see tremendous numbers, incredible numbers⦠And I get presents! People give me things, beautiful things, better than myrrh, but never from Santa Claus! Never from Santa⦠I call him "Struggling Santa" because of his crippling Trump Derangement Syndrome! A bad case. He sees a list. He goes "NO, NO, NO!" Totally rigged! Naughty list? It's a Democrat hoax! Like the lying BBC⦠And by the way, nobody has ever seen his birth certificate. But crooked Biden let him bring things in by the sleighload! No tariffs! Santa Claus has been terrible for this country, but we're looking into it, and we're going to do something about the North Pole very soon!
From Morten Morland at The Times of London. He's captured the ramblings of every speech the man's ever given.
A political cartoon by Eric Powell titled "Trump Derangement Syndrome." On the left, a young woman in winter clothes stands calmly holding a sign that reads, "NO KINGS! PROTECT OUR DEMOCRACY." On the right, a disheveled man in a "MAGA" hat and shirt yells aggressively at her, "YOU HAVE TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME!!" βThe man is covered in various Trump-branded items, including a "Trump the Ear Tampon" bandage, "Trump the Adult Diaper," "Trump the Bible," and "Trump the Shoe." He carries a flagpole featuring a "Trump 2028" banner with the text "Better a Russian asset than a Dem!" Small Nazi and Confederate flags are also attached to his hat and flagpole.

The Canadian scientific community owes a great deal to Dr Kristy Duncan & I was thrilled to get a chance to talk to her about her new book, how to advocate government for more science funding, the imp of diversity to propel scientific discovery, leading a trek to Norway & imp of sharing our stories.
A man who heroically tackled and disarmed one of the Bondi Beach gunmen has been named. He is Ahmed al Ahmed, a 43-year-old Sydney local who owns a fruit shop in Sutherland. The father-of-two was shot twice during the unbelievable act. www.news.com.au/national/nsw...
ACCURATE.
Scientists at Canadian institutions have long punched well above our weight despite low and stagnant funding. Spending a billion dollars on external recruitment while science here is starving is exactly what Harper got wrong about supporting research excellence in Canada.
Today is UNβs #HumanRightsDay
Womenβs health rights are human rights. Today is a reminder of #OurEverydayRights, and how we must commit to ensuring human rights principles are embedded in everyday experiences, especially for women and girls!

Earlier this year, in response to RFK's comments about EDCs making more trans/nonbinary people, I was interviewed by a journalist from 'Undark' about this subject. I said a lot more than what was included probably because my comments were a bit more inflammatory than what they wanted to report.
