Stephen Colbert is a national treasure: The day after his show was canned after 11 years by CBS to appease a tyrant, he shows up on the Monroe, MI public access channel where he did his first Late Show broadcast in 2015.

Happy #CATurday! In the foreground, Kiki, our Chocolate Point Siamese beauty. Behind her, curled up and snoring lightly, Emma, our potcake pandemic rescue. See why I don’t want to get up in the mornings?

I’m travelling for work and I wasn’t planning to film a video today. Then I saw something I couldn’t ignore. An Israeli cabinet minister posted a video to social media revelling in the abuse of detained flotilla activists, including Canadians. And our government is hardly doing anything about it:

Chronic underfunding, not financial mismanagement, is the problem in Ontario schools. Year after year they are asked to do more with less. By @ricardotranjan.bsky.social #onpoli www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

Before October 7th 2023, the biggest issues I had with the Trudeau government was the lack of progress on wage equality and housing. The Carney government is making Canada a wholesale totalitarian vassal state and people are clapping.

The head of Starbucks Korea has been fired after a marketing campaign sparked public outrage for evoking painful memories of a brutal military crackdown on pro-democracy protesters in 1980.

The number of people who have died or will die as a result of Musk’s recklessness in slashing funding for USAID is already staggering. If Ebola gets loose, too, bookmark this moment.

*walks into bank * “I want all the money in the vault!” “Oh no! We’re being robbed!” “No no, I’m taking it as a settlement.” “Well then that’s fine, here’s your money.”

I feel gutted and betrayed by Carney’s LPC government, and I am scared for the future of Canada and the planet.

Oh shit. With all the DOGE cuts to USAID and CDC — this is going to be… very bad. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

I rarely say “major breaking” and rarely put out these video hits, but this is pretty major.

This is pretty amazing.

“.. Good morning from Beijing, where the US-China meeting is a sidebar on the front page of the China Daily.” - Annmarie Hordern, @bloomberg.com

Donald Trump thinks the U.S. Treasury is his personal piggy bank. Let's be clear: the President is trying to steal $10 BILLION of taxpayer money - before a court rules. This is a massive, unprecedented scandal. Congress must stop him. I have a bill for that.

I spoke to the Trudeau-era environment minister who resigned from cabinet under Carney. Steven Guilbeault has a warning about Carney’s latest environment-trampling proposals — ones he agrees would be worse than Harper’s. Here’s the latest on the plan that would “eviscerate” environmental laws:

Althia Raj is doing some of the most important reporting out there right now, exposing how Carney is dismantling any semblance of Canada’s progressive values. Pharmacare, child care, now the environment… Please, pay attention. He’s eviscerating environmental laws worse than Harper. Than HARPER!!!

My 8yo asked if I would post something to Bluesky for her, then grabbed a piece of paper and made this So here is your advice for the day:

There is something deeply pathological about Chief Justice Roberts insisting the Supreme Court isn’t political while sitting atop the most ideological supermajority in modern history.

Carney's cutting 28,000 government jobs - food inspection agents, statisticians, marine biologists, meteorologists, cybersecurity, archivists, you name it - to save $60 billion, which they'll use to buy fighter jets, and the jet seller is the only country that's threatened us with war in my lifetime

pretty rich coming from a former drug dealer, but hey what do I know

"Trump’s initial post about removing US troops from Germany came just hours after he spoke by phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has long sought to reduce the number of NATO troops in Europe... "The Pentagon 'was not expecting it'... www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

The supreme court betrayed Black voters, they betrayed America, and they betrayed our democracy.” - Barack Obama

It’s astounding that Zelensky survived a full-scale war without ever having a ballroom.

BREAKING: Activists have shut down multiple intersections throughout downtown Washington DC in opposition to Trump's attacks on workers, DC Home Rule, climate, and international peace. The actions kick off #MayDay events across the country.

Is taxing the rich a climate solution? Yes, according to tech entrepreneur Avi Bryant. He's a member of the Patriotic Millionaires, a group pushing Canada for a higher tax on wealthy people like him because, "Society is better off if everyone has their basic needs met." thenarwhal.ca/canada-wealt...

The face of someone who’s devoted their life to service, science and space exploration needing to listen to some draft-dodging, out-of-shape bozo brag that he easily could’ve been an astronaut.

as long as john roberts has his majority, there is simply no pro democracy reform that will survive the supreme court. none.

I've been told I'm the only U.S. journalist who got the Bacchus reference (IYKYK) in the 2nd season of "BEEF." I talked to the legendary Youn Yuh-jung about that, as well as her 6-decade career, what it felt like living as a minority in the US, & being asked if the sky was also blue in South Korea.

I got to interview the legendary Oscar-winning actress Youn Yuh-jung for #Vogue magazine! 😱🤩 See what she had to say about her role as Chairwoman Park in #BEEF Season 2, her accidental foray into acting, and the unpredictable life she's had 👇 #BEEFS2 #BEEFSeason2 #YounYuhJung #Netflix

I live in a stupid province where, at huge expense, instead of speed cameras catching dangerous speeding drivers, we now have GIANT stupidly expensive signs. Like that’s gonna help. This genius idea brought to you by a corrupt *!%!! whose father’s wealth came from printing SIGNS. #DougFraud #onpoli

Jeezus. This is not about Hezbollah. This is about destroying people’s ability to live in their communities. Bulldozing solar panels that provide electricity and water, is not about military targets. They are critical infrastructure for civilians. #Lebanon #Israel #Netanyahu #WarCrimes

Every morning.

Bank of Canada: "Climate change threatens not only our economy, but the entire financial system." A former head of Canada's central bank totally ignores warnings from Canada's central bank for the convenience of the oil industry. It just goes on and on. 11/ www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Mark Carney's all-in on fossil fuels, & the announcement of the new sovereign wealth fund is clear further escalation of that ecocidal focus. Where private investors are unwilling to take those colossal risks, your PM plans to take them with your money. 🌎🔥Arson isn't in the national interest. 🧵 1/

From CBC News: Canadian detained by ICE for 6 months says he's an 'indefinite' prisoner, has no idea when he'll get out. 58 Canadians are being held by ICE. Avoid all nonessential travel to the United States.

The city blocked off part of our neighborhood to tear down a building w asbestos. The teen said "Why did people use asbestos if it causes cancer?!" I told him people thought it was a wonder product and used it EVERYWHERE & told him how the same thing happened w radioactivity... and now AI.

Everyone immediately assuming that an attempt on the President is staged is probably not a sign of a healthy democracy.

Anywho…I ordered in some really good chicken pad Thai tonight. 😊

This entire thing is ridiculous.

Good Trouble ✊
