Here is an important warning ⚠️
“Long #COVID can follow a mild infection. Reinfections carry additional risk rather than pure tolerance”.
This 👇🏻, an unpleasant reminder that the danger has not passed.
I need to get a COVID booster AND a flu shot this week.
• Long COVID can follow mild infection
• Reinfections carry additional risk rather than pure tolerance.
• There is still no cure, so reducing infection frequency matters.
• The “endemic” framing does not eliminate ongoing population-level harms.

I spent many happy days in #Taos and #SantaFe, and even drove the High Road between the two, where 10+ generations of weavers have made their blankets.
If this Canadian 🇨🇦 ever goes back to the #USA #NewMexico ‘The Land of Enchantment’ will be my first stop.
New Mexicans decide what New Mexico is called.
Our name represents more than 400 years of history. The Spanish colony of Nuevo México dates to the late 1500s, and Santa Fe was established as its capital in 1610. Today, Santa Fe is the oldest state capital in the United States.
Changing our name isn't supposed to be easy. Our Constitution was designed so that amending it requires more than one person — or one government — deciding they want something different.
To change New Mexico's name, a constitutional amendment would first have to receive the required approval in both chambers of the New Mexico Legislature. Then it would have to go before New Mexico voters. A majority of New Mexicans voting on the amendment would have to approve it.
Our name carries centuries of history, culture and identity. And if anyone wants to change it, New Mexicans get the final say.
The greatest resource a country possesses is not it’s oil or gas, it’s coal or minerals, it’s the people who live there.
Investments in public healthcare and public education, universal childcare, social housing ie: investing in people critical to 🇨🇦 economic goals.

Hamisha Bahar, a courageous young Afghan singer from a remote province and a proud Pashtun woman, is using her voice to speak for the women and girls of Afghanistan.
She has just released a powerful new song in English that reflects the pain and resilience of millions of Afghan girls who have been denied the right to attend school and university.
Through her music, she brings their voices to the world and reminds us that their dreams cannot be silenced. Let’s support Hamesha Bahar and stand with every Afghan girl in her fight for education, freedom, and a brighter future🇦🇫

Today, on August 2nd, we remember and honour the hundreds of thousands of victims of the Roma Genocide perpetrated by the Nazis.
May their memories forever be a blessing.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a n-anamacha.
On Roma Genocide Remembrance Day, marked on August 2, we remember the hundreds of thousands of Roma murdered during the Second World War. The prejudice that enabled the genocide of the Roma did not end in 1945.
Today, anti-Roma discrimination continues to threaten lives, dignity, and democratic values across Europe and beyond.
To truly honor the memory of those murdered, we must ensure that the lessons of the past inform policies and attitudes today.

The Embassy of Japan in Canada would like to express its sincere gratitude for your words of sympathy and solidarity regarding the earthquake centered in Kumamoto Prefecture. We would never forget your heartfelt solidarity.
My thoughts are with the people of Japan following the devastating earthquake that struck Kumamoto.
Canada stands with Japan during this difficult time and with the first responders working tirelessly to help those affected. I extend my solidarity to my Japanese counterpart, @motegi, and to everyone impacted.

The Islamic regime is preparing to hang 18-year-old Shervin Bagherian for participating in the January 2026 protests.
His family has just been called for a final visit. He has been moved into solitary confinement.
This kid is only 18.
DO NOT LOOK AWAY.
One of my heroes is this #Texas cowboy.
No Province of #Canada has the legal right to alter Treaty rights or the relationship of First Nations with The Crown.
The foundational 150 year relationship between the #Blackfoot Confederacy, @rcmpgrcpolice @GGCanada 🍁 vital IMO.

BREAKING: New Emergency Resolution passed today re: Alberta Separation:
The Annual General Assembly of the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) has passed a landmark resolution to protect Treaty Rights from threats posed by a separatist movement in Alberta. The emergency resolution was put forward by Sunchild First Nation and Confederacy of Treaty No. 6 First Nations Grand Chief Joey Pete and Proxy Chief Matthew Coon Come, Cree Nation of Nemaska, Quebec. It states that no province has the legal authority to alter, diminish, or extinguish Treaty Rights or the constitutional relationship between First Nations and the Crown.
Nations from across the country have expressed their solidarity with Treaty First Nations in Alberta in opposing this threat. First Nations rights are not negotiable and continued cooperation among First Nations will be essential in protecting Treaty Rights for future generations.
An expanding no man’s land is no country for old men.

APPLEBAUM: Point about autocracies falling slowly and then all at once has been repeated so many times in Russian history it’s almost a cliché.
Right up until final moment, nobody could imagine world in which Soviet Union didn’t exist. Literally year earlier, nobody predicted it would be gone.
Czarist Russia, up until the last minute, also seemed eternal and destined to be there forever, and nobody imagined any alternatives.
Someone inside Kremlin is definitely already thinking about “What if the war ended now? What if there was ceasefire now? How would we explain it and yet stay in power?”
That option is definitely under consideration. The question is whether Putin is in position to take it, and if he doesn’t take it, how much pressure will be on him from other people who want it?
I mean, it’s pretty clear that there’s part of Russian elite that does want the war to end. And of course, there’s part that never liked it and was unhappy from the beginning.
There’s probably also part connected to security services that are now so heavily invested in defense industry and in buildup of the army that they want to keep going.
What may be happening is some kind of behind the scenes game where those two groups are competing for power.
