The Polytechnique massacre wasn't just a mass shooting — it was a mass femicide. The gunman explicitly targeted women and blamed feminists for the troubles in his life. We must fight like hell to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Don’t you dare forget their names. #December6

We're 36 years on now and a nauseating concoction of misogyny and violence rules in the US. In Canada, women are little safer than they were in 1989. If you think we're progressing, look at the result of the rape trial of hockey players in London. It never changes. Only the sadness remains eternal.

I've spent tens of thousands of words trying to come to grips with the massacre at the #Poly, the longest evening of my life. I was there, it was cold, it was gut-wrenching. But the core of it remains: one pathetic little man with a gun can do more damage than the rest of us can ever undo.

Remember their names and honour their memory. #dec6

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand” Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

Reagan’s words about tariffs are going viral after Trump’s insistence that they are “fake” created a “Streisand Effect”

◾️In 1938, Great Britain and France, seeking to avoid war, signed the Munich Agreement, allowing Hitler to occupy the Sudetenland, where many ethnic Germans lived. Czechoslovakia was not even invited to the negotiations - it was simply presented with a done deal.

Donald Trump’s threats seem to be stirring a kind of patriotic resolve in Canada that is showing itself in everything from widespread scorn for Wayne Gretzky’s visits to Mar-a-Lago to a rekindled affection for Justin Trudeau.

Trump fiddles while democracy burns. Claude Malhuret puts it in no uncertain terms…Trump is a traitor. youtu.be/G-lh0TUTtvI

Fantastic. Let’s hear it for RDS. I didn’t realize they were here. Follow them. Retweet them. Let them see this is the place to be and the other site is run by a guy giving Nazi salutes.

Craig Unger, an American journalist and writer who has written two books on Trump’s connections to Russia’s security services and the Russian mafia, says he is "absolutely certain" that the U.S. president is a Russian asset.

A former senior KGB spy chief says Trump was recruited by them in 1987 due to his role as a prominent US businessman

This is a quote from my book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT that was made into a protest sign, seen below, by Indivisible St Louis in 2019.

"You can't disassociate. There's no disassociation allowed... It's the long fucking run with these people. You gotta stick in there." @karaswisher.bsky.social has some important advice amid all the Trump and Elon chaos.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Our beloved Canada is under threat. The threat comes from the president of the US—a convicted felon and known predator. But the threat is also being driven by the hate algorithms of oligarchs like Elon Musk….

Never let an American crow about overthrowing a tyrannical monarch ever again.

Trump doesn't want to be President; he wants its trappings: Wealth, grift, adoration, non-restraint, legitimization, grandiosity. Analysis of what he'll say or do is not properly contextualized. He'll golf, shmooze and bloviate. Others will endanger us. He is the emissary, the carrier, the parasite.

If there is one thing that should be clear now, it’s that Washington DC runs on money and public opinion, not obscure legal theories and technicalities. Own the public, own America. 🇺🇸 💵

ANY American or Canadian that lies and tries to gaslight us into believing we want any kind of formal union with Trump's America can fuck all the way off #cdnpoli #OneCanada

Jimmy Carter. Because there was once a time when presidents could be heroes.

Remember the right-wing plot to sabotage Jimmy Carter’s re-election by urging Iran to hold American hostages longer? You don’t? It’s a shocking example of the American right’s treachery that more people should know about. (Gift link to 2023 NYT story.)

Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick are the most anti-Trump provinces in Canada

Well, she can fucking try. And it’s a low bar since it could not be worse than the current boneheaded management.

Wow catching up to CNN on Bluesky. 🦋 They would absolutely hate it if you followed us and reposted this.

Repost if BlueSky is now your primary social media site. Oh yes it is 🥂

I'm just a boy standing on front of Blue Sky asking a community to get me to 175,000 followers. I promise good content, no sanewashing, blunt commentary, cat pics, Lego musings, middle aged dad musings, and Bay Area sports rants.

Donald has gotten away with one of the greatest crimes against America. Despite the disastrous failures of Republicans, Merrick Garland, and SCOTUS, we must remember those who suffered on Jan 6 and continue to fight for justice—for them and our democracy. www.marytrump.org/p/above-the-...

Some people cannot comprehend that the exodus from X is not 'liberal flight' but a lot of people deciding that the content on the platform - hate/extremism, disinformation, violent/nsfw content, low quality ads, lax responses to user reports, suppression of content - just can't be ignored any more.

BUMP: Canadiens fans are coming here rapidly. There’s more engagement here than there. I have 41000 there but how many are actually active and Habs fans and how many are long gone and bots. Please, reply here if you would like a follow back. More interested in your belonging than my ratio.
