#Germany ready to ban russian #athletes from entering country

"Countries that host major sporting events are not powerless. They can control participation of russians by issuing visas. If we organize international competitions in Germany, we can act accordingly. We will always act based on a clear position," - Minister of Internal Affairs of the Federal Republic of Germany, Nancy Faeser,

All of this talk of Harlan Crow's Hitler paintings reminded me that Oregon GOP chair Walter Huss had in his possession a flier advertising a book that contained hundreds of Hitler paintings. The organization selling the book was a neo-Nazi/white power organization in Metairie, LA

So Elon Musk apparently decided to (falsely) apply the state-affiliated media label to NPR’s Twitter account before he even bothered to learn the difference between public media and state-controlled media. Yes, really.

Then he emailed NPR — after slapping a false label on their account — and they had to explain the difference to him. This one is a doozy, even for Musk:

⚠️🇺🇸Elon Musk overtly helps Russian War Criminals spy. Twitter has lifted restrictions on profiles linked to the Russian government: links to them are now reappearing in the recommendations section, search results, and the social network's feed. Additionally Russian spies now have access to all Pentagon leaked documents which Musk refuses to take off Twitter.

"#Ontario's healthcare system is in crisis and Ford is using #Bill60 to funnel public money to American-style, for-profit clinics, pretending it's a solution to the crisis he created."
▶️​ #Bill60 includes provisions for 'upselling' in private clinics. The practice of upselling invites private clinics to sell an array of medically unnecessary procedures & tests. Currently common in cataract surgeries, it is starting to creep into hip & knee surgeries and medical imaging.

▶️​ Under Doug Ford's new #Bill60, the 'Director' in charge of #Ontario's private clinics is no longer required to be an employee of the Ministry of Health and has sole discretion over which persons or corporations are selected to receive licences to operate private clinics.
▶️​ 'Integrated Community Health Service Centres' ICHSC is the euphemism for private clinics Doug Ford and Sylvia Jones have set up to use our public hospitals’ surgeries.

▶️​ The 'Director'(s) of Ford's new private clinics does not need to be an employee of the #Ontario
Ministry of Health and is NOT subject to the conflict of interest and ethics regulations for public servants.
▶️​ Ford can appoint multiple third-party/corporate Directors to create and oversee his private clinic in public hospitals.
▶️​ There is nothing in #Bill60 to stop corruption among the Director(s).

#JustinJPearson comforts a woman holding a sign that reads: “Covenant Mom.”

Reminder for the people in power: The families, who are burying children and loved ones murdered in last week’s #CovenantSchool shooting, deserve real action to stop gun violence.

Disability advocates and physicians call for required masking in hospitals, health facilities

Prevent infections from occurring in hospitals should be an obvious imperative.

Taibbi, who is in regular contact with Musk, was told Substack is being punished because of “a dispute over the new Substack Notes platform”

Taibbi was “given the option of posting articles to Twitter instead”

@gruber I am currently today being deeply haunted by this quote:

"'No one believed me that working for Elon was the way it was until they saw how he operated Twitter,' Bernal said, calling Twitter 'just the tip of the iceberg on how he operates Tesla.'"

Notice how when Republicans do crazy shit like "expel members of the Tennessee legislature for protesting school shootings" there's no hand wringing in the media about how this will change norms and open the GOP up to retaliation from the Dems the same way there is with Trump being prosecuted.

Good Morning Canada!
It's International Beaver Day so obviously a huge day of celebration for Canadians. How cool is it that our national animal is the largest rodent in North America and a true symbol of our industriousness. Busy like a beaver.
If you run into any beavers today give them some wood as a special treat.

Taking away masks from medical settings when 1/10 people who get Covid in hospital are dying? Yep. That's a crime against humanity. That's not negligence. It's murder. Those of us who survive this era must not rest until the perps in government are made accountable for their crimes. #CovidIsNotOver #COVIDisAirborne #cdnpoli

Watching Putin get no applause from the ambassadors this year is a bookmarkable moment of zen.

I don't think I've ever tapped on an unsubscribe link faster. Also don't think I've ever been less surprised that the unsubscribe link was broken.

Torontonian here. Why should the feds bailout the John Tory and Co.'s reckless mismanagement of the budget? They could cancel the Gardiner, cancel "SmartTrack", reverse the police budget's increase, and increase property taxes on multimillion dollar mansions in Rosedale. Billions right there. 12 years of the conservative low-tax city mantra created for this crisis. #Toronto #TOpoli #AusterityTO #LowTaxCity #Budget
