@peters.senate.gov VOTE NO. They cannot be trusted. They will continue to starve people and make healthcare unaffordable whether you compromise or not. Hold strong!

Tired of being lectured about bootstraps by men who made billions stealing wages frm their workers. Tired of being lectured about hard work by people spending tax dollars to go golfing & attend Gatsby parties. Tired of being lectured about avocado toast by people who fly private jets to restaurants.

Nationwide boycott of sportsnet tomorrow? Cancel your subscriptions. Missing a few games to make them feel the pain is worth it!

Blue Jays doing Blue Jay Things!

Blue Jays doing Blue Jay Things!! But have to watch it on Fox since Sportsnet is absolute trash and letting a whole country down right now.

www.sportsnet.ca/590/ #bluejays #sportsnet streaming had one job so if you’re screwed like us - at least we have radio??

THIS. Ugh.

It should not be controversial to say that I am pro-human. I am pro-Earth. I oppose the forces that threaten human life and the survival of the planet. That should not be political.

Call, fax, email, and send letters to your representatives. All you have to say is “I support public funding for NPR and PBS” or “Do not cut funding to NPR and PBS”. You don’t have to have a lot of words or reasons or be eloquent. Literally just say that.

Four R senators and four R House members could announce they're caucusing with the Dems for now, and will vote for Schumer for Majority Leader and Jeffries for Speaker, because the threat to the rule of law is dire. Meanwhile, they'll work with Democrats to construct guardrails against dictatorship.

Bone chilling. A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0. 1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A “TRADE DEFICIT”—IT’S JUST CALLED “BUYING THINGS.” YOU DO NOT HAVE A TRADE DEFICIT WITH YOUR DENTIST JUST BECAUSE HE NEVER BUYS ANYTHING FROM YOU.

Important thread. Stop trying to understand the tariffs. The point is WHY the tariffs.

This is going to get worse, not better. Never underestimate the American public’s thirst for performative cruelty towards The Other: defendants, foreigners, anyone they’ve been conditioned to see as less than human. We’re the country that made lynchings into picnics.

Agreed. The law is not just for people we like and agree with. It is also for people whose views or lifestyles we despise. Because no matter who you are, someone despises you the same way - and the law must be there to protect you.

Ummm NYT … I don’t think it’s because the dear leader of Tesla and Twitter is ‘distracted’. It’s because he’s a rich wanker throwing his dick around at the expense of American democracy.

@kimberlyadams.bsky.social to add to your sports term fun facts - in Box Lacrosse 6 goals is a ‘sock trick’ … word is that fans didn’t know what to do when this happened, since they’d already thrown their hats, so they threw their socks!

@toddzwillich.bsky.social please clarify something you said on The 1A - American TEAMS are not getting booed by Canadians. The US Anthem and the government it currently stands for is getting booed. The Canadian people understand that the American people don’t want this nonsense either.

If you’re not emailing, faxing, and calling your representatives already please start.

Just … they’re no longer pretending to have integrity. We shouldn’t pretend they ever did.

Faxing my reps for Presidents Day.

@marianlapage.bsky.social welcome to bsky!

PSA: if you’re still wearing perfume/cologne or deliberately scented personal products you are at best woefully inconsiderate. Would you go around bashing people over the head with a baseball bat for personal vanity? No? But that’s how your scent is experienced by many fellow humans.

"The truth is, it’s not about the money. You see, taxes are an implicit acknowledgment that I exist within society and not above it. That my fate is tethered to the fate of humanity at large. That I am not the special little boy I’ve always believed myself to be." www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/i-w...

Gofundme should not be our national safety net

This.

Do we need more cats on here? I feel like cats helps.

Here for the better social vibes.
