I think we are treating this issue too casually, yet it carries serious implications for legality, morality, and human decency. People have gone to a pharmacy (a medical facility by definition) where prescriptions are filled. Yet, they are being yelled at, accused of sitting there just to avoid cleanup.... Really? What authority does a police officer, trained for entirely different responsibilities, have to assess someone who is in a medical condition or has underlying health issues while seeking medication or a prescription? They simply lack that capacity. Now, when they order someone out, what happens if that person collapses or their condition worsens as a result? Who will be held liable? We are taking too many things for granted. Yes, a clean environment is important, but not at the cost of decency, morality, and humane behavior. This situation demands serious attention.show more

A failure to clarify whether it is a voluntary or mandatory exercise&the kind of punishment tagged to each prohibited conduct.Leaving it to individual policemen results into different enforcement measures ranging from chasing a lady from a medical facility to murdering a cyclist

@RobinahNabbanja, do you see the mess you have created? Which laws are you invoking to force people to clean, chase citizens out of pharmacies? What does the constitution say about forced labour, servitude?

The said lady is a neighbor to the facility, she was hiding from the police who are mandated to implement Gov’t initiatives. The @PoliceUg here did bad by using strong violent words while asking her to clean and we don’t condone that

I see you want to question their admission level of education, age, social back ground, hobbies so that you can assess the level with which they can handle duty. Are you also looking at the course content of police entry education or you want to assess leadership tht orders duty

If they can shoot someone dead for allegedly refusing to do the cleaning, would they mind if someone else collapsed on the cleaning exercise. U just have a collapsed state, and then militias coming up to take over affairs

#WATCH | Dr. Rohan Krishnan, Chief Patron, FAIMA says, "The NEET-PG percentile has again been reduced. This time, it has been reduced to zero percentile. This means that for someone who has scored -40 in the examination, it means that someone who would not have attempted any question would have got zero. But there are these people who have attempted questions and attempted a lot of long questions, and that is why they have got -40 in their examination system, and they are also eligible to become clinicians in this country. They are also eligible to take part in surgeries, they are also eligible to practise medicine in this nation. I think this is very sad and it has become a trend that every year, they are reducing the percentile of the NEET. This is because they want to fill up the seats of the private medical colleges...We have to think, are we producing degree holders or a good number of doctors?..." (Video: Self-made)

BOOM: Jason Rantz on Seattle Red tears into Foreign Policy magazine editor-in-chief Ravi Agrawal for insisting on CNN that "Iran may or may not be a bad actor" b/c they're "nuanced"... "They are a bad actor. They are a bad actor. It's not they may or may not be a bad actor. They are a bad actor and I do think it's important -- I think it's important to -- do we think North Korea is a good actor or do we think they're a bad actor?" "It is fair to argue -- it is fair to have a discussion on what you do when dealing with bad actors, but it is not a discussion at this point for any serious person to say that Iran might be a good actor." "Well, they might be or they might not be? Come on"

Gordon Brown, "We are in a make or break decade for our economy" "Our growth levels are half of what they were in the last two or three decades" (when we were in the EU) "Our productivity levels are now lower than it was than at any time since the industrial revolution" "Regional economic inequalities are now so serious that they demand urgent action" "And as a result of that, standards of living for people in this country are beginning to fall" "There has got to be a turn around strategy. We cannot govern the way we have been doing, if we are going to make this decade, where we can see an economic recovery in our fortunes"

“There is a narrative out there, propagated by those who are organising this reckless and disruptive behaviour, that they are acting in the interests of our citizens and our people. In fact, their behaviour has economic, financial, human and diplomatic costs, as we have heard from Minister Lamola. Indeed, they are acting in a way that harms our citizens, their well-being and our national interests. It is the responsibility of government, including law enforcement agencies, to defend our people, defend our sovereignty and uphold the law, ensuring that the country is safe and secure. Those involved in organising this disruptive behaviour, accompanied by violence — and we have heard that there have been fatalities — will have to bear the costs of their criminal actions. They will also be held civilly liable. I do not know if many of them are aware that they can be held civilly liable for any injury or damage to property resulting from their efforts at incitement. So, what we are experiencing is not costless, and that must become part of the national conversation.” Professor Firoz Cachalia, South Africa’s Acting Minister of Police.

A recent landmark case in New York awarded $2 million to a person who had her breast removed at 16. Jonathan Butcher says this case could have a ripple effect across the medical community. “According to the details of the case, the doctors involved pressured both the young lady and her parents to do this procedure without looking at what the underlying issues may be.” “And actually, this is quite common in the research that you find that those who say they were born in the wrong body often have underlying issues of anxiety and depression.” “And without dealing with those issues, you’re really not helping that young person.” “We don’t allow young people to diagnose themselves with a sprained ankle or with pneumonia or a strep throat.” “Medical associations are now saying that they opposed these surgeries to young people.” “I think that this particular case is going to have a ripple effect across the medical community.”

[Q]: Mr. President, how concerned are you that by describing Europe as lost, you may actually alienate Europeans and make them less willing to help you in the future? [President Zelenskyy]: About Europe - there are very strong leaders, and they know what to do. They have to be - they have to rush. For example, I can tell you very, very honestly - we spoke about it - that in 2040 Russia will have an army of 2, 2.5 million people. They will have it. We will have a ceasefire, or we will not have a ceasefire. It will be a pause in this war, or, God bless, it will be the end of this war with really strong security guarantees. But we don't know if Russia will come back. What they need, what their goals are - nobody knows. So my suggestion - and I think about our families and our children - my suggestion to Europe is that Russia will want to try who is strong in Europe.

ELON: THE PEOPLE SHOULD DECIDE WHAT'S IMPORTANT, NOT A HANDFUL OF EDITORS "I don't think there should be a gatekeeping function by a small number of individuals. For newspapers in America, there are about five editors that decide what gets put on the front page, or what to focus on, or what not to focus on. And most of the other papers just copy them, essentially. But is that really what we want? Do we want a handful of people deciding what they think is important? Or should it be the people who decide what's important? And I think it should be sort of an organic thing, where the people decide what's important and what to focus on, not just a handful of editors. They don't like the fact that this power has been taken away from them. But I think it should be." Source: European Jewish Association, January 2024

If somebody is behaving in an ignorant way, if somebody does not respect other people, that is not a limitation of yours. That is a limitation of the person who is doing it. I get attacked quite a lot. You must have seen my opponents attack me. I don’t take what they say seriously. They have a particular anger, they have a particular frustration, so they are taking out their frustration. In the same way, when somebody attacks you, maybe body-shames you, they are taking out their frustrations. It has nothing to do with you. They are not happy with their situation. They are uncomfortable, so they try to find somebody to disturb. So I don’t take it seriously. India has many different religions, many different cultures, many different languages. I asked the girls today - they learn Tamil, they learn English, they learn Hindi, they learn Malayalam. So we have multiple languages, different religions, and different ideas, and we should respect all of them. You are perfectly within your rights to choose a language, to choose a religion. You are not within your rights to threaten someone because you don’t like the language they speak, or attack someone because you don’t like their religion, or because you don’t like where they come from. So I think if you are gentle, kind and humble, none of these problems exist. : LoP Shri Rahul Gandhi 📍Tamil Nadu

Brothers and sisters of Ireland, 🇮🇪 We gather not in silence, but in strength. We gather not in hate, but in hope. And we gather not to divide, but to demand. For the past number of days, our country has been brought to a standstill. Not by chaos without cause, but by people pushed to the edge. Farmers, workers, drivers, families, ordinary Irish people have taken to the roads, to the streets, to the gates of this nation’s lifelines because the cost of simply living has become too much to bear. They are not there for attention. They are there because they cannot afford not to be. Fuel prices have surged to unsustainable levels, driven by global crises and policies beyond the control of ordinary people. And yet, it is the ordinary people who are expected to carry the burden. They tell us support has been given. They tell us measures are in place. They tell us to be patient. But patience does not fill a tank. Patience does not keep a business alive. Patience does not put food on the table. Across Ireland, roads have been blocked, cities brought to a halt, and supply lines disrupted. Fuel depots, ports, even the country’s only oil refinery have been targeted in protest. Not out of malice but out of desperation. And now we see the response. The government condemns the protests. They speak of disruption, of law and order, of consequences. They warn of penalties and even bring in the Defence Forces to assist. But where was this urgency before? Where was this response when people were crying out for help? We ask not for chaos. We ask not for division. We ask for fairness. We ask for a government that listens before the country grinds to a halt. We ask for action before people are forced onto the streets to be heard. Because let us be clear: These protests did not appear out of nowhere. They are the result of years of pressure, rising costs, and people feeling ignored. You, in government, we ask you now!! Why does it take nationwide disruption before you listen? Why are workers and families pushed to breaking point before action is taken? Why must people blockade their own country just to be heard? We are not extremists. We are not criminals. We are citizens. And we are pissed of being ignored. Those standing on the roads today those sitting in tractors and trucks through the night those sacrificing income to make a point they are not the enemy of this country. They are the voice of it. And yes you best believe disruption is real. People are delayed, services affected, and frustration is growing. But that is what happens when a government stops listening and the people are left with no other choice. This is a peaceful movement. But it is a powerful one. And it carries a message that cannot be ignored! A country cannot function when its people cannot afford to live in it. So we say again: Serve your people first, or step aside. This is not your Ireland to manage from a distance. This is our Ireland, lived in every day by those now standing in protest. And until there is real action, real engagement, and real change the voices on those roads will not fade. They will grow louder. Éire Abú.

I was shocked to learn that in some studies, up to 27% of people on birth control report a decrease in their libido or sex drive. And yet, how many people are ACTUALLY talking about this? That’s why today I’m sitting down with Dr Rachel Rubin. Rachel is a board-certified urologist and sexual medicine specialist and one of ONLY 80 doctors in the US trained to treat both male and female sexual health. Before we started recording, Rachel said “I’m filled with rage”… She explained that people are being denied basic information about their bodies, hormones, sexual health and the treatments that could improve their quality of life… I said to Rachel in this conversation that it’s staggering that so many women are still being let down by the medical system. It makes you think - if men were in this exact situation, would this be the case? We discussed things like: - Why so many women are told their symptoms are normal when they are actually treatable. - Why Testosterone is not just a male hormone. - How hormones can affect UTIs, libido, pain during sex and overall quality of life. - If doctors are properly trained in women’s sexual health. - Why men need to understand the main topic of this episode too. What became clear to me is that this isn’t just a conversation about sex. It’s about health, relationships, confidence, ageing, pain, shame and the way people feel in their own bodies. At the end of the conversation I told Rachel that there are very few people who have her credibility and experience, with her ability to explain these subjects in a way people can actually understand. For anyone who wants to better understand their own body, or better understand someone they love - I really recommend watching this conversation.

One of the most significant conversations I had in Red Deer was not with a longtime political activist, a public figure, or someone who lives and breathes this stuff every day. It was with ordinary Albertans who told me they had never really been involved in politics before. They said they had never canvassed. Never stepped forward publicly like this. Never imagined they would be out on the side of the road waving flags and speaking openly about Alberta independence. And yet there they were. That matters. It matters because movements do not become real when the loudest voices get louder. They become real when regular people, people who used to stay out of politics entirely, start feeling that the situation has become too important to ignore. That is what I think this moment represents. These were not people looking for a hobby or some political tribe to join. They were people who felt that Alberta may be staring at a rare window of opportunity, and that if we let it slip through our fingers, we may never get another one like it again. That is a very different kind of energy. It is one thing for committed independence supporters to keep making the case year after year. It is another thing entirely when people who were never engaged before begin to say: This is our chance. We cannot waste it. We may not get another one. That tells me the movement is moving beyond its old boundaries. It also helps explain why this issue hits so deeply for so many families. A lot of these people are not motivated by abstract theory. They are thinking about their kids, their grandkids, their cost of living, their ability to build a future here, and whether Alberta will remain a place where ordinary people can still prosper and live with a sense of freedom and dignity. When people like that start showing up, it means the issue has become personal. And once something becomes personal, it gets much harder for the political class to dismiss it as fringe. That may be the deeper significance of what is happening. The independence movement is no longer just being carried by the usual voices. It is pulling in people who had almost given up on politics entirely. People who had tuned out. People who thought nothing would ever change. People who are now saying that maybe this is the moment when Albertans finally have to stop waiting for Ottawa to fix things and start taking responsibility for their own future. Agree or disagree with them, that is not something to laugh off. That is a sign of a population beginning to wake up. And when ordinary people start believing that this may be their last real chance to change the direction of their province, that is when movements become powerful. That is when they stop being theoretical. That is when they become hard to ignore.

It is another thing entirely when people who were never engaged before begin to say: This is our chance. We cannot waste it. We may not get another one. That tells me the movement is moving beyond its old boundaries. It also helps explain why this issue hits so deeply for so many families. A lot of these people are not motivated by abstract theory. They are thinking about their kids, their grandkids, their cost of living, their ability to build a future here, and whether Alberta will remain a place where ordinary people can still prosper and live with a sense of freedom and dignity. When people like that start showing up, it means the issue has become personal. And once something becomes personal, it gets much harder for the political class to dismiss it as fringe. That may be the deeper significance of what is happening. The independence movement is no longer just being carried by the usual voices. It is pulling in people who had almost given up on politics entirely. People who had tuned out. People who thought nothing would ever change. People who are now saying that maybe this is the moment when Albertans finally have to stop waiting for Ottawa to fix things and start taking responsibility for their own future. Agree or disagree with them, that is not something to laugh off. That is a sign of a population beginning to wake up. And when ordinary people start believing that this may be their last real chance to change the direction of their province, that is when movements become powerful. That is when they stop being theoretical. That is when they become hard to ignore.

Being trans isn't an illness or a disorder. It's just who someone is. Yet a medical diagnosis can still matter - for access to care, and for counting people who deserve to be counted. In my latest post, I have gone deeper into the everyday struggles that trans people face, and why they matter. Find it here:

Jordy: I think what we’re seeing here is a clear separation from the pack — who the players are and who the pretenders are. The pretenders are the people who say they care about our country but have been sitting on their hands for the last eight months during this Trump regime. The players are the folks who get up every day and truly fight for our democracy. I mean, what we saw out of Newsom today — that’s what this country needs. It’s not just lip service. This is someone who truly cares about what’s happening and is literally screaming from the mountaintops that we have to take this seriously. Because if we don’t, who knows just how bad these maps can get in 2026, 2028, and beyond. It’s going to be insane. Macro note here for the Dems: not that I pretend to be some political strategist, but just as someone who gives a shit about this country — people want fighters. Gone are the days of when they go low, we go high. I’m sorry, but that America does not exist. When they go low, you take them out by their knees — metaphorically.
