Breaking News: Gov. Gavin Newsom signed legislation that prohibits federal immigration agents from wearing masks in California.

Well done! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

I got my Melania Trump lamp for $10 on Temu. I’ll put it out every Halloween and save a fortune on candy.

The Epstein Investigation is so much bigger than you can imagine. It is not only about justice for survivors—it is also about the institutions and systems that protected rich and powerful men they knew were abusing women and children: the banks, the government agencies, and other powerful people.

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

I live in a rural area and a local farmer’s been spreading some very rich manure today so my whole house smells like manure now and it makes me wonder how they’ll ever get this smell out of the carpets and drapes at Stornoway.

Robert Munsch was instrumental in my becoming a writer. His books were some of the first ones I can remember reading as a child, and “I’ll Love You Forever” comforted me when my Mom passed away. Saddened to hear of his battle with dementia but grateful he’s able to go out on his own terms:

Covid has killed ~5-6x the number of people this year as those who died in 9-11. Both are heartbreaking, ❤️‍🩹 but only one is grieved publicly. The other is barely noticed & declared over

I had no wish for him to be murdered, but I’ll harshly judge anyone who flies their flag at half staff for that hateful extremist or talks about honoring his memory. There was no honor in his life.

The left isn’t “dancing on Charlie Kirk’s grave,” we’re just pointing out that, thanks to rhetoric like his, a lot of other graves exist.

"political violence is never acceptable," is a phrase you don't hear politicians say after cops beat the shit out of peaceful demonstrators

This is a Melissa Hortman appreciation account for the next 24 hours.

on the one hand shooters rarely get away with brazen daylight murder in front of a huge crowd, on the other hand the only person I can think of stupider than the president is the director of the FBI

It's clear to the rest of us, the majority, that our lives don't matter to Trump or institutions of power in this country. Just look at how everyone, including the Yankees and former Presidents, come out to condemn Kirk's murder and offer sympathies as this country unleashes ICE on brown people.

On a night like tonight, I think we can all agree on three things: the U.S. is a far too violent country, with warlike levels of gun violence; people shouldn't be murdered due to what they believe or say, no matter how awful, and Kash Patel is an embarrassing joke as the director of the FBI.

In 1998, I lost a cousin to a GSW to the neck. He was 7. Charlie Kirk was no martyr. He lived 24 more years than my cousin and nobody gave a shit about his gruesome death. People die from gun violence every day in the US. Now, Kirk is one of them. Motivation doesn't matter. It's the guns.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

Happy Birthday Melanie. 🎂

Absolute bullshit. This stat comes from a study that was retracted because it was crap. Real studies show ZERO relationship between vaccination and autism. Again, RFK cherry picks data, even data that has been retracted and found to be in error. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25285211/

A first in Canada, and one of only a few in the world, the Pathogen Research Centre will enhance understanding of how viruses and bacteria spread through the air. 🍁 #vaccines

Last thing I will post tonight about the HPV vaccine is this: It not only prevents cervical cancer, but also penile cancer and anal cancer. So boys should get it, too. (Also, statistical modelling clearly shows that is boys are vaccinated, cervical cancer is eliminated faster)

Graham Greene has died. A Canadian acting icon, he earned an Oscar nomination for his role as Kicking Bird in Dances With Wolves. He also won a Grammy, Gemini and Canadian Screen Award, along with the Governor General's Performing Arts Award. He also earned a star on Canada's Walk of Fame.

I’ve heard from a couple of messaging strategists now that people shouldn’t post so much about COVID19 vaccines because it’s “divisive”. I am here to say that I do not give a damn what is popular. I will never ignore scientific evidence for the sake of expediency, and neither should anyone else.

😂 End rant.

1/ I don’t know how to say this without sounding harsh, but I need you to hear it. COVID — or SARS-2 — is not “just another cold.” It doesn’t leave you the same. Every reinfection stacks damage: brain, heart, immune system.

Great piece. I view it also as the flight attendants saving the Liberals from themselves. With the CPC increasingly getting a lock on workers, the Liberals were blithely moving toward being seen as the anti-worker party in Canada.

Zelensky wore a suit this time.

Truth.

Any day Doug Ford loses in court is a good day for Ontario. Great 🧵 #BikeTo #ToPoli #OnPoli

Might just share this every time I see an incredulous “tourism is declining in the U.S.!” post.

Canada needs to buy European defence hardware: Not U.S. A clear way to demonstrate to Canadians that Carney is not simply posturing would be to cancel our order for the remaining 62 F-35's on the order book and instead purchase a similar number of SAAB Gripen fighter jets. shorturl.at/gGHmq

Are you a pipeline skeptic? If you're a Canadian taxpayer, you should be. Energi Media is asking hard questions like, will there be customers for Alberta oil in China and India? Who else is doing that? It's a short list. Should be a long list. youtu.be/SBCDeVZ63as

It's always a good day when Doug Ford has a bad day in court. #OnPoli #BikeTo #ToPoli

Here's a term of endearment right back at ya: go fuck yourself.

And contrary to right wing mythology, children are far more likely to be victims of a religious leader than a trans person or drag queen. 846 cases reported by religious figures. 1 drag queen. 5 trans people.

N95 masks are PPE. They’re designed to protect the wearer from covid, airborne viruses, wildfire smoke & more. They’re a public health tool. Gaitors & bandanas are face coverings worn by ICE goons who want to conceal their identity because they’re kidnapping people They’re not the same.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

I don’t know what’s radicalized me more the last few years: watching Palestinian kids being burned alive by Israel, people dying from and being disabled by covid, or realizing that all the major political parties are basically the same and we’re really on our own to change shit.

www.thestar.com/opinion/star... It’s like Trump is a symptom of the rot that has been growing for decades. He’s just made it glaringly obvious on the surface.
