The legendary Jane Fonda “has relaunched the Committee for the First Amendment, the McCarthy-era initiative started by her father, Henry Fonda ...” www.theguardian.com/film/2025/oc...

These amazing 🇨🇦 women risked everything to deliver baby formula to starving babies! Sadie Mees, Devoney Ellis, Nikita Stapleton, Dr. Suzanne Shoush, & Mskwaasin Agnew are Canadians who have been kidnapped by Israel from the flotilla. Tell @anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social to help bring them home.

This should have been front page news www.ft.com/content/6596...

To be clear - finally - escaped asylum seekers from insane asylums, in Venezuela or elsewhere, are not welcome in the US and should go back to where they come from. Nothing new under the sky.

And now kids, here's the moral of the story.

It's like we are discovering Ben & Jerry are real people, with hearts....and it's already too late.

Hilarious moments are priceless.

Speechless.

A Kyiv Harmonia orchestra has created a musical overture titled "Shahed" (russian drone). It freaked me out because of how believable it is.

'Tis the season.

Awesome.

How much more of the future do we want to let them destroy?

Don’t you EVER call Republicans ‘pro-life’ when every choice they make is about death.

This graphic is a simple and effective explanation of gerrymandering. Both Republicans and Democrats do it. Democrats want a fairer system. Republicans don’t. And thankfully, Democrats won’t unilaterally disarm. We need better system.

Just in case you were still wondering whether or not the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under Trump is deliberately and aggressively undermining the protection of the environment, and threatening our present/future.

The devotion to Trump is not intellectual – it’s emotional. He makes racist, sexist white people feel good about being racist and sexist. They’ll support a treasonous sexual predator if he makes them feel better about themselves. I don’t know how we can get those people to grow a conscience.

🇨🇦 Senators now call for an immediate arms embargo on Israel.

Outstanding. Watch & share.

Tonight, I will vote to block arms sales to Israel amid the famine in Gaza. Starving children and innocent civilians to death is a moral atrocity that cannot abide the conscience of those who believe in human dignity. The Netanyahu administration must change course.

Montréal. Orchestre Métropolitain et Yannick Nézet-Seguin. Free outside concert right now.

Treatlercide is back on the menu boys

STEWART: “I feel like I’m watching something so self-evidently inhumane and horrific and to be told I have to shut up because I risk the Jewish state by speaking out? I would say the opposite — they’re putting the likelihood of a surviving Jewish state much more at risk.”

Each sentence has weight.

How did 3M’s “forever chemicals” end up in all of us? Sharon Lerner reports the inside story of the corporate scientists who discovered—then helped to conceal—the dangers of its chemicals.

"In the last few weeks, I’ve visited Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland. They are under no illusion about what happens if Ukraine loses."

🤦‍♀️

This is a travesty & a nightmare. The US was a founder of @gavi.org. It lowers global vaccine costs, has vaccinated 1B children, & averted 19M deaths. This pull out will cost 100s of thousands of children's lives a year - and RFK Jr will be personally responsible. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

RFK Jr. is killing Americans with his reckless health policies. We need to state that plainly because it's important and it's true.

“US intelligence assessments had reached a different conclusion—not only was Iran not actively pursuing a nuclear weapon, it was also up to three years away from being able to produce and deliver one…according to four people familiar with the assessment” www.cnn.com/2025/06/17/p...

Must see.

If you are an artist (or a musician or a writer or any kind of creative) please keep doing your art and don’t let anyone tell you that “now isn’t the time” because NOW IS EXACTLY THE TIME. Art is power. Art is disruption. Art is resistance. There’s a reason the fascists always come for the artists.

Deep & deeper State Take 2

Deep & deeper State.

“'I think mistakes were made,' said Lavingia, who worked at DOGE for nearly two months, 'I’m sure mistakes were made.' "The [DOGE A.I.] model hallucinated, deciding around 1,100 contracts were each worth $34 million when they were sometimes worth thousands..." www.propublica.org/article/insi...

May the trend continue...

Do you still have doubts?

Is it a signal for other religions to move on?

Clearly not a new phenomena. History tells us it's working...for awhile.

Love it!

Of cour$e! Logical, after “Trump Bitcoin Digital Trading Cards".

How come the real leaders are always from the same countries?

Old news good to remember.

I don't think people in the US fully understand how much our government has made us broadly hated in other countries

'60 minutes' formula has been proved successful for 57 years. And now darkness falls.

How could it be a mere blunder?

Fascism is now in the algorithms, the neural pathways, the social interactions. How did we fail to see all this? “We wanted to see Trump in terms of his absences, so that our way of seeing the world would go unchallenged,” Timothy Snyder writes.

And another good reason to buy local...in Canada.
