Trump appears on Fox @nflbluesky.bsky.social broadcast so I immediately switch to the Canadian Premier League championship game (which is awesome in deep Ottawa snow). If you were advertising to me during Lions/Commander. Sorry, I'm not there.

Huge congrats to @pammoran1.bsky.social & @irasocol.bsky.social for assembling a team of nearly two dozen educators and school leaders to document their path toward transformative school change in 'Real Learning, Real Accomplishment: Schools that Work for Kids.' We're honored to do our part. 😁

Exactly: THe stories on what didn't get done bc Noem required her personal signature (in additional to call centers, the rescue teams) aren't stating clearly that one reason Noem is doing this is bc she's $1B over budget bc she has blown it all on kidnapping grannies.

British government @teamlabouruk.bsky.social yields to terrorist threats across Northern Ireland. Starmer is too busy prosecuting musicians. He's still the guy who enabled the #spycops scandal m.independent.ie/irish-news/s... @kneecapceol.bsky.social

Republicans raise taxes on US citizens by $100 billion in just 5 months. Tell all your friends. U.S. customs duties collection... www.cbc.ca/news/world/t...

I mean, the numbers speak for themselves, right? If the rest of the country wants to look like an ideological reactionary backwater, kids AND education will suffer. 🤷 There's not much else to it. This kind of thing is a recipe for stagnation and suffering, always has been.

I have to say that I've lost even the slightest aspirational interest in the publishing industrial complex. #writers

Recently, my book THEY CALLED US ENEMY was banned – again – in Tennessee. Book bans are out of control. Huge parts of American history are being restricted. To join me in standing up for the freedom to read, go to pen.org/action. @penamerica.bsky.social @topshelfcomix.bsky.social @idwpublishing.com

This is the PM who lets NI "loyalist" terrorists intimidate the police while he chases musicians, grandmothers, and retired priests. Tell @teamlabouruk.bsky.social that it is all over.

Exactly.

UTAH… this is not a game…

British Labour thinks these terrorist threats are all OK. While chants against genocide are prosecuted. @teamlabouruk.bsky.social RTE news : Stop 'playing politics' over bonfire - Little-Pengelly www.rte.ie/news/ulster/...

"Ask yourself if this is normal in a self-described democracy..." Whether Clinton in the US or Blair in the UK, those who turned "liberals" into anti-left authoritarians are significantly responsible for the termination of both "democracies" www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

All across the US actual combat veterans are cringing as wannabes pretend they're handling explosives #4th

The govt wants disabled folks out of society and preferably dead

This July 4th the US gets to celebrate losing World War II. And you didn't think that even Republicans could rewrite that much history.

Ask yourself why Rolling Stone is the only outlet performing this obvious public service.

Real cops do not hide behind masks. Real cops identify themselves because they are proud of their work, not embarrassed by it.

Happy Canada Day to every proud Canadian across the globe ❤️🇨🇦 This national holiday marks the anniversary of Canadian Confederation when Canada officially became a self governing country on July 1, 1867 🇨🇦❤️ Wishing you a day filled with joy, laughter & pride as we celebrate our beautiful country❤️🇨🇦

Let's replace all US Democratic leadership and all @teamlabouruk.bsky.social leadership. Let's go to what the people need www.tiktok.com/@zohran_k_ma...

FUN FACT: Tiffany is the only one of his kids born to a naturalized U.S. citizen.

Even Haaretz is publishing direct participant accounts of the IDF setting up killing fields in Gaza with food for bait, killing hundreds of non-combatants. We will not allow Israel to control the narrative. Calling out genocide is not antisemitic. Not wanting to support genocide is not antisemitic.

Remember when JD Vance was lecturing the EU about freedom of speech and how they should welcome differing opinions? Pepperidge Farm remembers. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

Who's the Real Villain? (Hint: It Isn't Bob Vylan or People Protesting Israel's Genocide) Controversial chants by rap groups opposing Israel's genocide are more worthy of condemnation and coverage than the IDF committing daily war crimes against Palestinians. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

Do Jews really want "antisemitism" to mean "opposing Trump"? www.bbc.com/news/article...

"Here's the deal. Everything continues as is till Nov 2026. After that, anyone who becomes disabled would have to look after themselves. It would teach people to be more responsible. To think harder before they went down with life-changing illnesses or injuries." www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Revoking an artist's visa for their speech, no matter how controversial, doesn't make us safe. The government should not be policing the artistic or political expression of citizens, visitors, or anyone else.

Disabled people are not “scamming the system” The system is punitive by design. Hard to navigate and nearly impossible to get approved. You have to endure years of dehumanizing and stressful intrusions into your health & life just to access a meagre benefit that keeps you below the poverty line

When reporters can't count New York City has about 350,000 millionaires, but this MSNBC clown claims "hundreds of thousands" have left the city. I wonder who is buying all those multi-million dollar condos being built? Yes, illiteracy is a big problem. #Mamdani youtube.com/shorts/fHgeU...

There’s a post floating around the hellsite saying NYC is “cooked” because Mamdani tweeted in 1986 that it was funny the Challenger exploded. That about sums up the quality of the information you can expect to get in that place. Not only did the site not exist in 1986, Mamdani wasn’t born yet.

It is probably time for artists of all types to boycott the UK. RTE news : UK police probe Kneecap, Bob Vylan Glastonbury sets www.rte.ie/entertainmen...

Evil incarnate.

If Bill Ackman hates Zohran #Mamdani, everyone else should be for him. It is that simple.

An excellent blog. “Would you go on a training course for 14 years – which is what education is from the age of 4 to 18 – only to be told every week that you’re thick, that you don’t get it. Stand in line! Stay after school!” The answer would be 'No' & yet some children have that reality.

Whether in the US or UK artists cannot stay silent today

@teamlabouruk.bsky.social - like US Democratic leadership - has dropped all pretense of being a progressive organization. Forget ReformUK as you prosecute rappers and those opposed to genocide. Beware #ReBuildUK on your left.

Toronto had this as well in the 1980s Some of the suburbs still do so on the wekends

Starter was too busy supporting Netanyahu and Trump to give a s*** about the disabled www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Dox every private spy. Dox everyone who hires one. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Insisting that being pro-Netanyahu and the IDF and "being Jewish" are the same thing is, unfortunately, likely to end badly for Jews everywhere. www.bbc.com/news/live/cg...

The aristocrats/kleptocrats at JPMorganChase - Amazon - Google see Mamdani as a much bigger threat than right-wing violence. His movement might take away 0.1% of their wealth, right-wing violence never targets the rich (see Germany 1934)

When people die because their Medicaid is gone and kids starve because there’s no SNAP, all so that greedy corporations and the super rich can get richer, I hope everyone remembers who to blame. www.cnn.com/2025/06/28/p...

Americans have a grave misunderstanding about protests. We never are taught the US had the most deadly labor struggles and instead only narrowing focus on the friendly parts of the civil rights fight

Disabled people’s orgs have told the Guardian that plans to exempt only existing claimants from the cuts will create a “two-tier” benefit system that “condemns” future disabled people to poverty. As one said, “Is it even legal?” My story on the fallout: www.theguardian.com/society/2025...
