Part 1 - Trump in 2024 during the campaign when asked if he will be able to get Xi to release Jimmy Lai from prison if elected: “100% I’Il get him out. He’ll be easy to get out.” Part 2 - Today: “I brought up Jimmy Lai. I would say the response to that was, um, not positive.”

No American should be comfortable with the President of the United States accusing a reporter of treason for critical reporting.

War is peace. Emissions are emission reductions. Ignorance is strength. Strong words from @jameswsthomson.com www.nationalobserver.com/2026/05/15/o...

I remember hearing about this last year. Conservative will sell anything and everything. Leaving the public to suffer.

In 1989, in Elmira, ON, news hit that Chemtura had been leaking Agent Orange into the aquifer and into Canagagigue Creek which flows into the Grand River FOR YEARS. The aquifer is contaminated to this day. Privatization? Just more disasters waiting to happen with zero accountability. #onpoli

Ever since Walkerton fiasco left 7 dead, Ontario premiers have steered clear of water privatization – until now. #onpoli #canlab www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

"The Ford government’s keenness to put in place this new water regime — while disguising the fact that it involves privatization — raises the question: whose interests is the government serving in doing this?," writes @lindamcquaig.bsky.social. #GiftLink 🎁 #OnPoli www.thestar.com/gift-redeem?...

We don't want another Walkerton. The reminder by @lindamcquaig.bsky.social about Ontario's drinking water tragedy is timely. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Fantastic interview with @lindamcquaig.bsky.social on the dangers of privatization 👇 podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/f...

We've removed major hurdles to building affordable housing —  a move that will get homes up nearly 2 years faster. We’re in a race to tackle our housing crisis, because working New Yorkers can't afford to wait.

It would be about time…

None of us alive will experience climate better than what we have now. How much worse it gets is up to us.

If we have any hope for the future we must restrict the power of the super rich. - @lindamcquaig.bsky.social with @ccpamb.bsky.social 1/

Marco Rubio: "Steve and Jared and working on the diplomatic path very hard" (Would be nice if we had a secretary of state ... )

Don’t forget… Release the unredacted #epsteinfiles

For decades, the U.S. government has left Israel’s nuclear capabilities unacknowledged. Now, we are at war alongside Israel against Iran—our troops and the American people deserve more than ambiguity. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

94% of teachers have to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies. 85% of teachers are working second jobs during the school year, often just to keep up with the cost of living. Meanwhile, the average Wall Street employee got a bonus of $246,900 in 2025. Something has gone terribly wrong.

the optics of this Oval Office event are absolutely insane. get a load of this. crazytown.

On fashion’s big night out, we turned the lens onto the garment, retail, warehouse, and delivery workers who make the fashion industry possible. Read the full piece: bsky.app/profile/mayo...

Every Canadian needs to read about and analyze what Carney is actually doing

Excellent piece Linda. I find it amusing that as soon as the Liberals secured a majority, talks about privatizating airports started. If ever there was a clear evidence as to why the NDP is needed in the House or how Carney is taking the left for granted, this is it.

When you’ve lost the daily mail

Not all privatizations are as disastrous as the 407. But they all share one feature: they gouge consumers. Crazy to privatize our airports--& in middle of an “affordability crisis.” no less! #cdnpoli www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Jeff Bezos and his wife are the lead sponsors of tonight's Met Gala. Now seems like a good time to remind folks of all the ways Bezos is shafting American consumers and Amazon workers — and how his wealth is putting our democracy at risk. https://www.commondreams.org/opinion/amazon-ceo-jeff-bezos

The fanatics won’t be happy about this.

Below is the person who coined the term “Sleepy Joe” …

Texas voters just sent the book banners packing. Not in California. Not in New York. In Texas. Across the state, voters went to the polls and threw out right-wing school board members who built their local political brands on book bans, anti-LGBTQ policies and Christian nationalist culture-war panic

I’m totally disappointed in the Iranian hackers for not digging up the hidden files of the Epstein files 😬.

In the past year alone, Jeff Bezos's net worth has increased by $75 billion. That’s $205,479,452 per day $8,561,643 per hour $142,694 per minute $2,378 per second The median American’s weekly earnings is $1,235 ($64,220/yr).

Congrats to Julie K. Brown! She was awarded a #Pulitzer Prize special citation today for her groundbreaking reporting in 2017 & 2018 for the Miami Herald exposing Jeffrey Epstein's systematic abuse of young women and the justice system & powerful network of associates that protected him for years.

Never stop talking about this until #justice is served. #EpsteinFiles

Internet is a basic need. Proud to announce that we are expanding NYC’s Neighborhood Internet Program, which provides free, high-speed broadband to New Yorkers living in affordable housing. Now an additional 2,000 NYC households will gain access to high-speed broadband across the Bronx.

The good news: 72 years from now (when we're all dead or at least no longer driving) Ontarians will be able to drive toll-free on the 407--just like they now drive toll-free on all other Ontario highways. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

This is a good read.

While the world’s eyes are on fashion’s biggest night, we’re turning ours to the garment, retail, and warehouse workers who keep the industry running. From true love found on the picket line to a free tailoring school out of a Brooklyn basement — meet the New Yorkers who make it all possible.

Walking in a straight line is hard.

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today. We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

Incredibly important column by @althiaraj.bsky.social about Mark Carney's devastating social spending cuts. And this is just the beginning! Do people have any idea what we're going to lose in order to pay for Carney’s military extravagance? www.thestar.com/politics/pol...

A history of the top marginal tax rates on the wealthiest Americans: 1940: 81% 1950: 84% 1960: 91% 1970: 72% 1980: 70% 1990: 28% 2000: 40% 2010: 35% For 50 years, corporate backed politicians in Congress have slashed taxes to line the pockets of their wealthy donors.

@lindamcquaig.bsky.social at @opseusefpo.bsky.social 2026 conference speaking on why we need a wealth tax and why it won’t scare away wealthy Canadians If we want great public services, great infrastructure, great healthcare, great public education and to save our democracy, we need to tax the rich

I don’t want NYC to become a museum. It should be a living, breathing testament to the working people of our city.

Looking forward to stopping by @colbertlateshow.bsky.social one last time. Tune in tonight!
