Hey so Trump is gonna slaughter the people of Venezuela right before our eyes and we’re going to do nothing, do I have that right?

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing. And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

So the EA acquisition is a final death knell for BioWare right? Like we’re never getting a good Dragon Age or Mass Effect thing ever again, right? I mean I know that was already basically a certainty but this is the last nail in the coffin.

Canada seriously needs to 1. strengthen its anti-trust laws and 2. restrict foreign-owned media.

Do this to voice your outrage at Disney's unjust cancellation of Kimmel and other people's shows for simply practicing their free speech, ASAP.

Just talked with my wife, we are cancelling our Disney+ subscription. If you have one, I encourage you to do the same.

What the fuck is a Groyper?

it’s cool that bluesky is bending over for conservatives and banning people making jokes about charlie kirk’s death. as we all know, once you give in to the right they will leave you alone

It’s an absolute shame that DC fired Gretchen Felker- Martin for exercising free speech and then @bsky.app suspended her account. Every writer here should be decrying this because we have to stand up for each other! This is ridiculous.

Not to interrupt production at the takes factory but they should probably identify and catch the actual killer before we decide what it all means.

Violence is never the answer. Also, make use of the breaking news consumer's handbook from @onthemedia.bsky.social

If I have any credibility with you from 20 years of reporting on rightwing & fascist movements, please listen when I beg you not to celebrate Charlie Kirk getting shot. Leave aside morality: this isn’t a match in dry grass, it’s a torch. We do not want what this could ignite & we would not win.

Trump’s crackdown on unhoused people in D.C. is the product of a legal system that bends over backwards to protect elected officials who are bad at their jobs.

“Activists who disrupt the flow of weapons to a genocidal regime may violate petty criminal statutes, but they uphold a far greater law and a more profound human imperative: to protect a people and culture from annihilation.” Irish Novelist, Sally Rooney

DC statehood is now an imperative. No more dicking around. Next Dem majority, get it done immediately.

Holy crap. “That quest earned me a one-hour meeting in April 2024 with Will Lewis, the then-new publisher of The Post. During our discussion, he asked me: ‘What should The Post do to appeal more to Fox News viewers?’ glennkessler.substack.com/p/why-i-left...

Eleven more libraries will reopen on Sundays, thanks to the leadership of the City Council. They never should've been closed in the first place. As Mayor, I'll end this absurd budget dance that keeps our beloved libraries in limbo year after year.

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

Recognizing Palestine is the right thing to do, and if it costs Canada in trade negotiations with a fascist so be it.

A new study concludes that the uninhibited pumping of groundwater by farmers, cities and corporations around the world now accounts for 68% of the total loss of fresh water at the latitudes where most people live. By @abrahm.bsky.social

Congress taking an entire month off in a country where most people don’t get more than 2 weeks vacation is awesome

the corollary to the absolutely true “one day, everyone will always have been against this” is that they’ll also never truly forgive you for being loud and right long before they were, unless you play along and pretend for them

No deal on tariffs Withdraws digital services tax Massive spending on defence Massive public sector cuts and layoffs Cuts funding to CBC and VIA Rail Not sure this was the mandate voters thought they were giving Mark Carney

to the people mad at parker, i have good news: a world where Gavin Newsom is the Democratic nominee is a world where Dems are about to lose so badly that parker's vote simply does not matter

look I don’t always have the best track record with political predictions so take it how you will but I am firmly convinced that “will we vote for Gavin Newsom” is a pointless debate and he will eat shit early in the Dem primary Gavin does not and has never had the juice

If Russia India and the United States were building solar at the same rate as China the renewable energy transition would be over in no time. Unfortunately three of these countries are easily controlled by the interests of fossil fuel capitalists

Hey, remember when the Panama Papers were released and they showed how basically every wealthy person on the planet was avoiding taxes by offshoring their money and nothing was done about it except the reporter who broke the story was murdered with a car bomb?
