I’m in standing room at @torontobluejays.bsky.social , behind accessible seating, where a kid/teen in a wheelchair is distraught because he can’t see anything with everyone standing up. If anyone happens to be in a box or something with extra seats, this is your chance to do a good deed.

New hat just dropped.

Let’s Talk About Epstein

Big news: the BC Human Rights Tribunal has "affirmed that immunodeficiency is a physical disability," with employers having a duty to address barriers and find solutions. #BCLab

Some of what we use today was made for people with disabilities first

Imagine being a teenager, figuring out who you are, only to have your very existence denied because of what your parents believe. That's the reality for many LGBT young people in religious families, not helped by RSE guidance allowing opt-outs.

Notorious O.A.P. - Oot Noo! Wherever you get yer choons ThatsBette.com

Publish it again. Every journalist who has published Epstein stuff before should just publish it again.

I tell myself I’m not just checking the news everyday to see if t7u#p is dead

A government ban on Hungary’s Pride parade backfired Saturday as over 100,000 people marched through Budapest, far more than usual PM Viktor Orban warned people to stay away, threatening “clear legal consequences.” But the warnings only turned a modest event into a mass rally against his government

All Postmedia publications should be banned

"The Man from Moscow" - President Trump on the cover of French magazine Le Point.

Pierre Poilievre thinks we're stupid Mark Carney will stand up for us The choice is clear

Elon Musk to reporter: “We post our actions to the DOGE website. All of our actions are maximally transparent. I don’t know of a case where an organization has been more transparent than the DOGE organization.” Here’s the doge.gov website IN ITS ENTIRETY. It’s literally a blank page!

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Wasn’t it just a week ago that we were supposed to get a 30-day pause? And now, suddenly, he’s focused on steel and aluminum imports? No one in Canada is surprised. Did anyone actually believe this guy? That his word meant anything? He’s a criminal.

The Associated Press, the world's leading newswire service, says it has been barred from the oval office for not calling the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America, against Trump's wishes. You can see the AP's style guidance on the Gulf of Mexico here: www.ap.org/the-definiti...

The way Americans are joking about taking over Gaza, Greenland and Canada goes way beyond what normal people deem acceptable or the normal level of idiocy we all endure to get along. It is offensive. Stop it.

BREAKING: In response to doctors' lawsuit, Judge John Bates, a George W. Bush appointee, orders CDC, NIH, and FDA to put back up websites and datasets cited by the doctors in their lawsuit as having been relied upon and pulled down without notice. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Dems should propose a law that immediately requires every fed agency to post on @bsky.app account, every outlay with a detailed description, $, and a link to existing gov sites with in depth details Rather than trying to keep Elon out, pre-empt him so he cant miss characterize spending.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

SMART!

Mark Carney: I'm not a politician

The use of the boycott has a long and powerful tradition of taking on tyranny. The grassroots Canadian boycott against Trump is having a serious effect. And we've only just begun.. Please read on how we can use our dollars to resist the gangster in Washington. substack.com/@charlieangu...

Will Americans stand up for us? Probably not.

In Germany over 200,000 protestors in Munich gathered against the Musk backed far-right / neo-Nazi AfD ahead of the German election. Thousands chanted "Save Democracy" and "Oppose Nazis" #3E

🔥 AMAZING. Today, the Baltic states disconnected their power grids from that of Russia. It’s taken years of prep. What a moment.

🇨🇦WAKE THE FUCK UP, CANADA🇨🇦 The Trump administration has it out for Liberals. They will do whatever they can to help PP win. Entire video: vm.tiktok.com/ZMksypqJM/

In preparation for today’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in an unheated warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the warehouse. The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million

Danielle Smith must step down. We need a fully independent investigation into alleged corruption. NOW. #ResignDanielle #Canada #CanadaSky #cdnpoli #Alberta #ableg #abpoli #yyc #yeg

Susan Glasser: "We've been subjected to, I think, almost an Orwellian picture this week." Fact.

Doug Ford's campaign for his snap election. No debates, no costed platform, no mandate letters, limited media questions, no interviews. Same person who is subject of a criminal investigation for political corruption. I hope voters are not ok with this.

A thing to understand here is that Wired + Teen Vogue is Condé Nast — this is the Newhouse family being basically the only good billionaire publishers. Other than them, it’s the indies of the new alt media and stalwarts like ProPublica and then basically crickets.

Joe Rogan and some likeminded Americans now say Canada isn't free and that we are a "communist sh*thole". I checked the 2024 CATO Inst. ratings on freedom. Canada ranks 11th, the US ranks 17th. Hey down there - stop making stuff up eh, come visit and see for yourself. www.cato.org/human-freedo...

Federal judge blocks Musk’s DOGE from access to Treasury Department material - The Washington Post We need to find a freaking attorney to do a class action lawsuit involving every person in the United States who wants to sue Elon Musk over what he did

If you still need convincing that Doug Ford is NOT protecting Ontario or Ontarians, this list is long and staggeringly thorough! #VoteFordOUT #ONpoli

DOGE is a figment of the GOP’s diseased imagination. Everybody working in it who isn’t an elected official is a private citizen, and everything all of them are doing is blatantly illegal. But none of the GOP will enforce the damn laws because they’re spineless cowards.

Russell Vought has been confirmed to lead OMB, over strenuous protest from Democrats. This is the man who said he wanted to put federal workers “in trauma” and to make them “villains.” We live in dangerous times.

Poilievre conservatives are spreading a lie about Global Affairs.

My 15-year-old brought his report card home with an average of 93%. He put in the work, and it paid off. #proudmom

🇨🇦 It's been devastating to read about Katherine Homuth's journey these past few weeks - a $23M fundraising gap alongside tariff threats could mean the end of this Montreal-based company. Canada's most successful business leaders & investors should band together & help Katherine build in Canada.

Who indeed…

Around 35% of SpaceX’s revenue comes directly from the federal govt. Less than 1% of NPR’s budget comes from the federal govt.
