Can we please stop calling this idiot "Secretary of War"? He's the Secretary of DEFENSE" He can call himself whatever he wants on his own time, but it's a designation BY CONGRESS. I don't recall Congress voting a name change.
Can we please stop accepting THEIR terminology, THEIR vernacular? DON'T FOLLOW THE BALL.

In 2011 Sweden reviewed and significantly changed its snow-clearing systems after reviewing them through a gender lens and discovered that women were very negatively affected by the traditional protocols; they used sidewalks more (eg with children) and side-streets (again, for kids or errands). The result was a substantial reduction in hospital slip and fall visits, among other things. (Invisible Women, by Criado Perez)

Speaking as one lone British Columbian, I applaud our federal and BC governments for securing the return/surrender of over 7,000 "assault-type" weapons. Sometimes governments get it right.

I suppose it's possibly true that #BillGates' relationship with #Epstein was "about philanthropy" (seems to me that if you were a) male and b) anyone in power, authority, or wealth...you had SOME kind of contact with Epstein) but it's interesting that he's admitted now to "two affairs with Russian women that Epstein later discovered...". Clearly, Epstein was running honey traps for the Russians. Surprised that a guy as smart as Gates would fall into one. Thinking with the wrong head.

@RickiTarr@beige.party Or, in Southeast Asia, a policing action.
Mark my words: what Trump has done is to ignite a civil war in Iran. And how did the LAST time the US sleep walked into a civil war -Vietnam - work out?
Either that, or he’s triggered a massive repression that will kill thousands and make the last few months in Iran look like a picnic.
Replying to
@augieray They did this to the United States, yes , but what about what they’re doing to Iranians right now?

I vote NO; if you want #Canada to support a beleaguered country, how about we start with #Ukraine? A) The Gulf States can look after themselves and B) why aid Trump and #Israel in ANY way in their illegal war?

@Sanderde@mstdn.ca No. They don’t “file an injunction”. They file AN APPLICATION for an injunction. Big difference.
And it was refused out of hand, btw.
