@radiofreetom.bsky.social Not content with merely, exposing his feet to those unfortunate enough to be his seat-mates, the Odious Detestablis does the full “Rochester,” thus incurring the ire of the flight crew and adjacent seating rows. A vile but well-played move for this inconsiderate beast.

Think of Trump’s global tariff war as his very own Operation Barbarossa—except it isn’t going to go as well.

All the people in his orbit are a bunch of dimwitted cosplayers, with zero knowledge or interest in how things actually work, it’s so fucking tiresome. Why couldn’t they just get this out of their system in elementary school, playing war with gun-shaped sticks in the woods, the way most of us did?

How low does the bar have to be to for the Conservatives to oust one of their? Anti…abortion, LGBTQ+ rights, Islamophobia and Holocaust denialism? The Conservatives are a big-tent party: tax cuts for the wealthy, deregulation, along with racism and “othering.” Herzlich willkommen im Kongresssaal!

Let that sink in.

Translation: “Yes, the economy, military, intelligence services, education, arts, social services, healthcare, infrastructure and so much more will all be in the shitter very soon, but that’s a small price to pay for not having to simply be nice to people. I can finally be a vulgarian again.”

Your tariff rate is your star sign divided by the number of boys you've kissed, multiplied by one

Reminder to my Canadian brethren: starting today, across Canada, be on the lookout for this symbol when doing your shopping… Gloves up. Canada strong.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

@radiofreetom.bsky.social @gtconway.bsky.social @therickwilson.bsky.social Apparently, “Mr Efficiency” not only has a his video game set up at DOGE HQ, but is getting his minion-acolytes to maintain his game level. This is more tragically ridiculous than any fiction conceived by Hollywood.

Canada needs to become aggressively more self-reliant. Let’s ensure BC Ferries does NOT use, “Apartheid Clyde’s” Starlink. Sign the petition (image), or - and probably far more effective: use BC Ferries online feedback form to register your dissent. feedback.bcferries.com/collection/c...

I’m proud to be a Canadian, and call Vancouver home.

This is one of the best “manuals” for staying sane in the increasingly perilous situation we find ourselves in. Informed, well reasoned advice. Great discussion/reporting from Nastaran Tavakoli-Far

@marine-valeria.bsky.social @raincoast.org A moving and tragic piece on the imperative need for better protection for these amazing, cetaceans.

Today is a good day to remind yourself of beautiful moments in your life, big or small. For instance, I was just remembering the first time I heard one of my own songs on a commercial radio station. It was while I was peeing in the restroom at a Harvey’s hamburger restaurant in Winnipeg in the ‘90s.

Forgive the clickbaity graphic tag, or whatever you may think about Canadian politician Elizabeth May’s “electability,” what she says here echoes a lot of what I’m hearing from Canadians. youtu.be/pSuKqfXXR_E

What a terrific piece by Chrystia Freeland about what ought to be the basis of US-Canadian relations. Once sat next to her at a dinner when she was a journalist, before entering politics. She’d make a great PM, don’t you think? www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

It’s amazing to me that politicians don’t commit to post first on @bsky.app and to engage with constituents here THIS is more powerful than CNN , MSNBC, The Post will ever be. You can broadcast for 9 mins on a declining medium, or engage here and start a real discussion. Which is more powerful?

Disappointing! “Cabinet approved the [RBT2] project despite accepting the conclusion of the independent environmental assessment that the project would have significant adverse effects on the Southern Residents and their main prey source, Chinook salmon.” #endangeredSRKW

“When it comes to people with real decision-making power, I’ve run out of tolerance for kind words.” Teams of doctors say they’re exhausted and emotional after spending the week volunteering at two pop-up overdose prevention sites in Victoria.
