Do you get health and wellness info from social media? Well, according to a new report from Pew Research Centre, you’re not alone. But who are these influencers, and what are their credentials? Who is turning to influencers, and why? What Pew found was really interesting — and a bit worrying:

Just 90 minutes before Trump’s self-imposed deadline last night, a two-week ceasefire deal was reached. Had they not reached a deal, Trump was threatening war crimes and genocide. But what brought us here? How do we help Iranian citizens who are suffering? @smohyeddin.bsky.social joins me:
I’m finding myself increasingly horrified at how low some politicians go. They’re willing to lie despite being fact-checked, they’re willing to downplay horrors, and they’re willing to legitimize icky influencers. It's also, awkwardly, a disproportionate problem within the Conservative Party:
Trans rights have been under attack, viciously, for a while now. I think we need to have a talk about just how intentional all of that is — how these narratives are being used to drive a wedge through our society, so specific actors can profit and fundraise off of our misplaced rage:
A CANADIAN Trump critic is suing the U.S. administration to stop them from getting his personal data from Google. After the user posted criticism about federal agents killing protesters, DHS asked Google for his associated names, addresses, phone numbers, credit card and bank information. Yikes:

Canada’s wealth gap is the widest it’s been in StatCan’s recorded history. You’d think Carney would focus on that -- not privatization. In fact, “Carney’s policies will only make inequality even worse," @dtcochrane.bsky.social, a senior economist with the Canadian Labour Congress, told me. Uh oh:
How will Avi Lewis pay for his big ideas? Taxing billionaires and corporations. “Banks made $70 billion in profits last year…Grocery baron Galen Weston alone is worth $20 billion,” Avi says. “The money is there my friends. We need a government with the courage to go and get it for all of us.”
Canada has a Neo Nazi problem — but we actually just did something about one of them. A Canadian neo-nazi was just sentenced to 20 years in prison. As investigative journalist @petersmith.bsky.social helped me explain, this could be a big deal (and likely has other nazis shaking in their boots):
Mark Carney, asked about Trump threatening genocide in Iran, urges “all parties in this conflict — in any conflict — to respect international laws, the rules of engagement.” “That means not targeting, certainly, civilians or civilian infrastructure.” He doesn’t directly address Trump’s post.
Lewis: “Our NDP has a different offer for this country. Our plan is to Trump-proof the economy by investing massively in Canadian economic independence using the unmatched power of public ownership.” “A network of public providers for food, phones, and internet. A public housing developer.”
