Corporations spend more than $1.5 billion a year on union-busting. That’s $1.5 billion they could have spent on higher wages, better benefits, and improving workplace safety. Remember: if they weren’t so scared of worker power, they wouldn’t fight so hard against unions.

"Yes, building less dangerous cars and more forgiving roads would help address the US’s sky-high tally of roadway fatalities. But another way to save lives deserves far more attention than it gets: Stop forcing Americans to drive so much." @davidzipper.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

1. Reform political systems to make them democratic; aligned with issue-based representation. 2. Expand climate awareness in everyday life; integrate it deeply into public dialogue & cultural norms. 3. Elect mayors who present concrete visions & actionable plans for climate & community resilience.

Reporter: Do you think it would have been fitting to lower the flags for Melissa Hortman who was killed as well? Trump: Uh, I’m not familiar, who?

New at DeSmog: @rachelsherrington.bsky.social reveals how the meat industry might have teamed up with prominent environmental groups to convince consumers that beef can be "climate friendly," even as the industry's emissions of planet-heating pollutants increase. #climatechange

The latest on TS Chantal today, but more importantly, we take a deep dive into the causes and forecasts leading up to the horrific flooding tragedy in Texas. A lot to unpack today. open.substack.com/pub/theeyewa...

I wanted to dig in more to understand the forecasts after the Texas flooding tragedy. Tough one to write knowing what happened.

I believe Danielle Smith has higher aspirations. Probably American ones. I wish she'd just get on with those and stop wrecking my home province.

Pierre Poilievre in a nutshell. If ever there was a case to drain the swamp...

The things people want in order to have kids are things the left would like to give them and the right would like to burn down. Healthy environment, social safety net, stable access to non-bankrupting medical care, thriving society, not killing the planet, stuff like that.

We need to talk about @rachelgilmore.bsky.social Our democracy is not going to make it without strong journalists. Let me begin by stating the obvious: these thoughts are mine alone. They do not speak for my employers. They are personal and, at this moment, angry. #cdnmedia tinyurl.com/mwtpfbze

Booker: Strom Thurmond’s record always kind of just really irked me. That the longest speech on our great Senate floor was from someone who was trying to stop people like me from being in the Senate. So to surpass that became more important to me.

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

Hey Alberta, let's talk about this 👇 Honestly? Has the govt lost what it means to provide the CARE in Health Care?🧵 We are currently starving many of our stranded ED hallway pts, but maybe ABs will rise up when they see we are denying kids w cancer? buff.ly/yWj5FYr 1/8

The icing on the cake. Bruce Fanjoy 🇨🇦 is trending to wipe out Pierre Polievre off the map and take Carleton Riding. What a wonderful day that would be. #cdnpoli

Next time someone tries arguing that it’s “social engineering” (cue ominous music) to give people CHOICES to walk, bike & take public transit in their city, tell them that designing our current car DEPENDENCY has been the largest and most damaging social engineering experiment in human history.

While the US builds walls, Canada is building networks". Carney is taking the long game and Canada WILL WIN!!🇨🇦

The UCP will always choose the people, companies, corporations that benefit them…never Albertans. They’ve proven it, over and over again. Take your POWER back. Your Voice For Choice abresistance.ca DM me.

Private surgical facilities in Alberta are starving the public system of staff and funding to perform priority procedures, according to a new report that concludes the province has yet to increase surgical capacity or reduce wait times as pledged. #ableg www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...

I attended @alonghurst.bsky.social’s webinar on his new report with the Parkland Institute and I gotta say, the plausible and horrifying idea that the UCP could liquidate our hospitals to US private equity firms is still making me feel sick hours later assets.nationbuilder.com/parklandinst...

Gas up, groceries up, rents up? Turns out #BigOil’s record profits were the real driver. @zoeyunker.bsky.social lays it bare at @thetyee.ca Let’s stop subsidizing the problem and build the solution. thetyee.ca/News/2025/03...

BREAKING & BIG: Today in PARIS, citizens voted in a referendum to PEDESTRIANIZE 500 MORE of the city's streets, giving fresh momentum to efforts by city leaders to create people-places, curb car usage, and improve air quality. 66% of Parisians voted in favour of the measure, official results showed!

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks… “The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government. 🧵
