Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

Americans lecturing Australians on gun control and Canadians on healthcare is the ultimate in shut the fuckupness.

What Smith embodies is something political theorists increasingly describe as libertarian authoritarianism, a paradoxical but now well-documented phenomenon in which the language of freedom is used to justify the concentration of power, the erosion of democratic norms, and the dismantling ...

The full Weiss memo is dogshit -who cares if administration figures “regret” sending people to CECOT -who cares about the criminal histories of the people we sent to CECOT, we sent them to a torture prison —who cares about the “debate” over the legality of sending people to a torture prison

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

Three years and one month from today, I’m going to grab a pickax and pull those letters off that building, but I’m going to need help holding the ladder. Are you in? Applying for my carpenter’s card today, so it’ll be a union job!!!

Renaming the Kennedy Center, our national fine arts center, after such a coarse, lowbrow, and ignorant buffoon is America at its very stupidest.

I don’t know who made this, but it’s spot on!!

This is what Presidential Leadership looks like at the time of an unfathomable American tragedy. #BarackObama

I’m so grateful to live in Canada. We are ranked as the world’s number 1 most loved country. 🇨🇦

Smith finally said it out loud... She doesn't believe that government should be providing any services to Albertans, she believes that private companies should be used universally to provide services. Faith groups should take care of the vulnerable. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

So, if this happens, Canadian artists essentially aren't going to be able to take jobs in the US unless they've been silent on the administration for half a decade (which, let's be honest, is unlikely). Absolutely wild, dystopian stuff. www.lbc.co.uk/article/trum...

BREAKING: Bernie Sanders just now:

On this day in 1989, an armed gunman murdered 14 women at École Polytechnique de Montréal. Another ten women and four men were injured. The anniversary of the massacre is commemorated annually on Dec. 6 as the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women.

this shit is just beyond parody, man

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere. It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

A new study suggests a single HPV vaccination appears just as effective as two doses at preventing the viral infection that causes cervical cancer.

Sum: RFK Jr is wrong, wrong, wrong. Yet again. The HPV vaccine is safe and cuts cervical cancer risk by 80%, large reviews find www.nbcnews.com/health/healt... via @nbcnews.com "The vaccine works. Full stop." "The vaccine is safe. Full stop." #VaccinesWork #ScienceMatters

Disabled people were one of the first groups targeted by the Nazis. They coined the term “useless eaters”. They tested the gas chambers on us. They knew most people wouldn’t fight to save our lives. That’s why the President using the R slur is so dangerous. We’re not expendable

The Canadian Pacific Holiday Train lit up metro Detroit yesterday night as it continues its journey downriver to other cities. Crowds gathered near popular viewing spots to catch a glimpse.

Allowing doctors to practise in both public and private systems solves what exactly? What Alberta is proposing may sound good superficially but makes no sense in the Canadian context, by @picardonhealth.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti... via @theglobeandmail.com

The Calgary Medical Students Association and the U of A Medical Students Association have written an open letter to the Smith government “imploring” them to reconsider 2 tiered healthcare in Alberta. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

What a photograph. “Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…” Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Aurora in the woods!

I am on my way home to Toronto and the aurorae are absolutely phenomenal. If you are anywhere in the northern half of the continent, get outside and look up! Or better still, put your camera on a 10 second exposure and point it up.

If you still support Trump, I don’t judge you for your choice of political party. I judge you for your lack of morals, ethics, compassion & humanity. I judge you for your support of racism, misogyny, pedophilia, homophobia, treason & fascism. So will others. So will history.

Canada has just lost measles elimination status. The U.S. will undoubtedly follow shortly. Elimination means that there is no continuous spreading of measles within the country for a year or longer. Canada and the U.S. have blown it, and it’s largely the fault of the anti-vaccination movement.

There’s a disturbing lack of outrage over ICE’s aggressive tackling and arrest of a non verbal autistic man in Chicago. Just like the lack of outrage over Rodney Taylor, a disabled double amputee who’s been held in solitary for months. Disabled lives matter too!

Conflict is expanding between Trump’s immigration policies and the Catholic faith, Elizabeth Bruenig writes. “The religion’s call to radical love can’t countenance this much cruelty.”

BREAKING: After ICE refuses to allow detained migrants to receive the Eucharist, Pope Leo calls on Trump and Vance to respect migrants‘ dignity and religious liberty. “They must allow ministers to assist with their needs. They've been separated from their families and no one knows what happens.”

Obama: As for the president, he has been focused on critical issues like paving over the rose garden so folks don't get mud on their shoes and gold plating the Oval Office and building a ballroom… If you can't visit a doctor, don't worry. He will save you a dance.

Trump lowers refugee admissions to just 7,500 a year, down from 125,000 set by Biden, rejecting thousands of people fleeing war and persecution while reserving the record-low slots for mostly white Afrikaner South Africans. Zolan Kanno-Youngs @haleaziz.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/u...

Remember when Danielle Smith condemned the "arrogance" of a government for passing laws in a matter of days? Now she's rammed through a law stripping teachers' charter rights in a single day. Seems the "democratic process" no longer matters to her now that she's in power. #ableg #abpoli
