I think everyone needs to see an adorable wiener dog.

That's why they want Greenland and New Zealand. Hej! Check out this type of yogurt from Greenland! (It's Icelandic, but Greenland and Iceland are interchangeable, right? 🤦🏼‍♀️) Hej was my best attempt to bring Sweden into this post, but my knowledge of Swedish might be limited to IKEA?

I feel the need to re-post this, because what has been done? He's listing children like they are on a menu. And, they were. This man is the Commerce Secretary. Every administration from GWB (and maybe before) to the current administration is complicit.

Well, they're achieving their repulsive goals. I just can't express how horrible this is. The people who enact these laws are monsters. Vote them out. Doesn't help this woman or her family, but vote them out in her memory.

Environment Canada prediction is even wilder.

We're going to pay for this in March, aren't we YYC?

Globe and Mail cartoon

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

How thoughtful of Howard Lutnick to bring a bunch of children to Epstein Island. They’ll have lots of other kids to play with.

Does anyone in the GOP or MSM have a problem with this?

@popher.bsky.social I very much understand your comment about a different crowd here now. The last several days have been weird. People commenting on posts that typically wouldn't get that attention. People drudging up posts from months ago, and being super angry at me.

Very interesting. Let's see how many other organisations follow the same path

Don has been released without any restrictions

Just need to vent. I ordered food and wine through UberEats at around 3 pm. The order arrived around 4 pm. The wine order was wrong. I checked to be sure that I ordered the correct (red) wine. Finding a way to actually say that an order was wrong took a ridiculous amount of time.

Movie review from Guardian on Melania.

Everything about him is repulsive.

This has to stop. GOP: this all you. The rot is from the top. Impeach the madman. End this. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Holy crap. This has to stop. I hope that she's okay!

Oh, lordy. I heart goes out to them. ❤️❤️❤️ globalnews.ca/news/1163834...

And so the Trump administration sends in Homan. Right...

Credit where credit is due. The NRA and other gun ownership organisations are fighting against the Trump admin claims of the murder of Alex Pretti. When the NRA isn't taking the BS from this admin, maybe ICE should stop killing people and stop lying about it. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

A frightening article. And one that I recommend that everyone read. There are so many awful people in the Trump administration, that I didn't read enough about Homan. I knew about the bag of cash, and that he is awful. What I didn't know was just how awful he is. Homan is a sadist.

Quoting this paragraph from the article. I do expect a certain person reply to an ill-informed tweet saying 'Concerning. 'Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and her close adviser Corey Lewandowski... are also at risk of losing their jobs, two of the people told me.'

Oh, Minnesota. Please take a moment and rejoice. You did this. And you won. ❤️ www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

I am devastated. What an incredible person. I feel so honoured to have met her. And she gave me a big hug; we had a number of chats on the 'other place'. Rest in peace. And I also give very sincere acknowledgements to her family and friends. ❤️❤️❤️ Kirsty Duncan share.google/hcPv6KALo9us...

I don't think that I made my point clear with post. Care, just because you should. And extra: Trump isn't running the country. Miller, for sure; no idea who else. Maybe Thiel? Do *not* fool yourselves. If they aren't stopped, they are also going to subjugate you. Even MAGA. They will.

Does anyone know if [email protected] is real? It is the only way that I have found to try to contact bsky. Settings, etc, have proven useless for me. I'm sure that I'm overlooking something.

And, if you can afford it, please donate/subscribe. I know that many people cannot afford to do so)l. please do. I have,along with other law-related and non-MSM sites. I'm not sure if 'sites' is the correct categorisation.

Wow. Bovino is afraid of five year old children. Good to know.

Last year, 32 people died in ICE custody — the most in decades. It is unconscionable. House Republican’s reckless funding bill must be rejected.

Amazingly, the House of Representatives can actually do something about our national disaster of a President. It's quite simple. It's called impeachment.

Canada is forging new partnerships around the world – including an ambitious new strategic partnership with Qatar that will build up our industries, drive investment into our businesses, and create new career opportunities for Canadians.

For those following my ankle saga, the avulsion fractures are healing well. It's the ligaments that are the question; they often take a long time to heal. I'm about to head off for an MRI, which will show if there's something else going on. Unlikely, but we need to know.

I cannot say this with any politeness. Trump: fuck off. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-sets-s...

I'm really trying to see what Poilievre would say had he become PM. Eat an apple? Hug a piece of Canadian lumber? He won't even be able to counter anything from PM Carney, because he (Poilievre) refuses to get a security clearance. For non-Canadians: I'm not joking. Why would he not do that?

Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

I have a professional obligation for those in 1504 this year (if you don't know what this means, sorry but I won't explain it). I had to take a fairly strong pain medication today. I've taken the day off. It hit me hard, but will wear off overnight.

For those following my ankle saga: If my comments are rather loopy today, it's because I recently had to take a painkiller (tramadol !), because I couldn't sleep because of pain. For you fellow olds: I sometimes want to go Kathy Bates on my ankle. Obviously joking. @stephenking.bsky.social

Remember WWII

Evil. I can't think of another word for it.

Yes, and that's what a significant portion of people in colonised countries refer to intergenerational violence. Cruz continues to be a horrible person. Not a surprise, really.

Where are the children sends a shiver down my spine. I'm only one of many people saying this: but I'm so nauseas that I have to force myself to eat.
