So question for Twitter: Why does China have such strong nationalist/reintegration tendencies towards Taiwan, compared to say, Mongolia. Mongolia was also part of Qing China for ~200 years and left about the same time as Taiwan was ceded.

It starts as a “simple infection” until YEARS later it becomes:

Long HIV…AIDS
Long HPV…Cervical Cancer
Long EBV…Multiple Sclerosis
Long HSV…Alzheimer’s
Long HCV…Liver Cancer

CURRENTLY 1 in 13 Americans already have #LongCOVID.

We don’t know how this story ends

Sign here to stop the merger and prevent telecoms giants from creating a coporate oligarchy.

Stop. The. Merger.

This Rogers outage highlights the dangers of our monopolized industry.

Emergency services are inaccessible.

Interac and Visa networks are down.

These are the consequences of a Liberal govt that is fixated on protecting the profits of telecoms giants.

As bad as this outage is in eastern Canada, imagine how much worse it would be if Rogers gets to control all of Shaw's internet infrastructure in the west. This is basically exhibit A in the case against industry consolidation.

[Sebastian Stern @sseb85]

This Canada-wide Rogers outage really highlights the dangers of monopolized industries. When one malfunction can put half of a country’s economy on pause, we have a big problem.

Probably not the right time to tell people in Canada that in the UK you can get a 20GB mobile plan for $12/month

The cruel truth is that overturning Roe will hit poor women and girls the hardest.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Today, the Supreme Court not only reversed nearly 50 years of precedent, it relegated the most intensely personal decision someone can make to the whims of politicians and ideologues—attacking the essential freedoms of millions of Americans.

The amount Elon Musk just paid for Twitter ($44 billion) is nearly equal to Biden’s proposed climate budget ($44.9 billion), in case anyone's wondering how seriously we’re taking the climate crisis

[No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen @NoLieWithBTC]

Elon Musk told the United Nations he would give them $6 billion to end world hunger if they showed him a detailed plan of how they would use the money. They called his bluff and gave him their plan— and then they never got the money. Now he’s buying Twitter for $45 billion.

Zelensky just now: “Never, please, never tell us again that our army does not meet NATO standards. We have shown what our standards are capable of.”

I look forward to joining @NewDay on @CNN soon.

We need to ban Members of Congress from owning and trading stocks.

Hope you’ll tune in!

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Last night, Russia launched a brazen attack on the people of Ukraine, in violation of international law and basic principles of human decency. Here’s my statement on what it means, and what should happen next.

#BREAKING: RCMP say more than a dozen people arrested in #SurreyBC tonight as police move in on protesters at Pacific Highway border crossing.

[City of Vancouver @CityofVancouver]

City Hall will be illuminated green tonight for the Day of Remembrance and Action on Islamophobia. The colour green evokes the green carpets where the victims of the Quebec City mosque shooting last stood to pray.
