Could have increased taxation on the rich but instead, he chose to sunset important programs and dump millions and millions into AI - a piece of tech that we're all expecting to bust any minute. The way Carney's budget has tanked morale in the city of Ottawa is a sight to behold, let me tell ya!

Hi Bluesky 👋 Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

There had better be trials. And not just for the low-level thugs carrying out these orders, but for everyone up the chain of command. If we get past this, the solution isn’t to pretend it never happened and invite Stephen Miller to Harvard’s Institute of Politics. It’s trials w real punishments.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Late-stage capitalism is when the richest man on Earth asks for more while everyone else is told to tighten their belts. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

10% of Meta's 2024 ad revenue came from outright frauds and scams; the platform shows consumers 15 billion ads for fraud and scams every single day. This doesn't even include agitprop and AI slop. the existential collapse of this monumental pile of shit company simply can't come quickly enough

these testimonies make it 100% clear nobody in ICE thinks of themselves as the bad guy they're all army rangers in black hawk down surrounded by 1000 somalis with RPGs while joe strummer plays in their beats headphones there is no reconciliation here

Our message to Andrew Cuomo was loud & clear in June. It’s louder & clearer tonight.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Along with everything else, Trump admitting the shutdown led to a bloodbath for Republicans should at an absolute minimum lead Dem Senators to shelve their apparent plan to prematurely cave. He's admitting he and the GOP are in a weak position, Dems. Exploit that!

This morning I can see 67 votes to convict on a bill of impeachment.

Today is the day that @aoc.bsky.social should announce her run for senate.

Oh so Thanksgiving meals could have been $20 this whole time?? Food prices didn’t need to be so high?

the reason republicans lost yesterday is because theyre a bunch of weird freaks pushing policy that everyone hates

Just want to see one (1) news story on how toxic the Republican brand is among average, everyday Northeast urbanites, and how that should be seen as a major crisis for Republicans. Unfortunately I won’t bc this is still a country where cows and empty land get strong political representation

TONIGHT should send a clear message to all those elites - the people who run Big Law or have been in charge of elite academic institutions who decided to bend their knees last 10+ months - Americans coast to coast are paying attention & thankfully their brains haven’t been cooked by X. #NoKings

Trump, holding the GOP in front of him as a shield from the bullets

None of what Trump is doing is popular and voters are telling us that

If you are a Democratic senator watching these results and the lesson you take is "I should cave and help Republicans reopen the government for nothing more than a promise written on toilet paper" then you shouldn't be in the Senate anymore

This is still a democracy. I'll be damned if we're gonna just give these pathetic fascists power they don't have.

He should be forced to quit and then he should be primaried. An utter disgrace.

Good points Senator Maybe remind your colleagues who think they are negotiating with GOP Senators that this is who calls the shots. They all answer to Trump and he wont even follow court orders to feed the hungry so how can Thune or Collins be trusted So don't cave now

I've said it before and I'll say it again now: Live your life in such a way that millions of people do not rightfully have reason to cheer your death.

The biggest story in the country right now should be Donald Trump admitting he has no idea who he's pardoning—and that he only pardoned a crypto fraudster because his sons told him to. Could you imagine the reaction if Joe Biden admitted something like that?

Amazon and Walmart are two of the biggest recipients of SNAP and Medicaid funds because they don't take care of their employees. Families working 40+ hours a week requiring gov subsistence. In Canada they go to food pantries to make ends meet. Corporations are the real "welfare queens" of society

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103. 12 days of work in 103 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Memorize the script: "Yes your honor, I feared for my life. No, I did not see any authentic official identification".

The Conservatives' budgetary demands include fiction. There are no "hidden taxes" on food. The industrial carbon price doesn't apply to agriculture. There is no "food packaging tax," and plastic regulations largely exempt food packaging. The clean fuel standard "17¢" was one scenario over time. 1/2

I don't know why people aren't having more kids. We've tried everything from soaring inflation, suppressing wages, stripping rights, destroying public services, making literally everything more expensive, making literally everything more expensive in a different way, and sending in the marines

these people are dumb as dog shit and im tired of pretending theyre not

Speaker Johnson admits Trump & Republicans are forcing millions of kids to go hungry for political leverage. He says funding SNAP would "reduce the pressure" on Democrats. Disgusting.

This is fucking amazing

If you're not going to pushback on lies, you're not a real journalist.

I keep seeing people say, oh, trans people must take a hit for the greater good and, first of all, no, you don't get to discard someone else's rights and second, we know from past experience that marginalized communities like theirs are merely the first to be targeted. They'll come for you next.

democrats preserving the fillibuster just for trump to direct republicans to get rid of it was for nothing. democrats should have done this day one in the biden administration but their biggest downfall was assuming that political “norms” were restored after biden won

When you're right, you're right.

USEFUL BACK IN THE DAY KNOWLEDGE *packs a weed pipe* So back in the day in America when there was no ACA and the 'safety net' was shit, my uninsured friends when they HAD to be seen medically for bad shit would not take IDs to the hospital and would give a fake name and claim to be indigent.

"According to People, Zuckerberg did not clap along with the rest of the audience at Eilish’s comment."

“The Dominion Society of Canada celebrated the coverage. Their goal is to normalize the concept of mass deportations of non-Europeans, and Tyrie says he wants to make Conservative Party of Canada leader Pierre Poilievre use their word for it (remigration) by the end of the year.”

"If we had a contingency fund." You mean like this contingency fund the Trump Administration just deleted off their website? The one they are legally required to use to keep SNAP funded? www.notus.org/trump-white-...

I declare it to officially be second fall. For those not familiar with the typology: first fall is warm and sunny and colourful. Second fall is cold, dark, damp, and nasty. There’s no snow, and it’s not quite Christmas season. Basically: stay inside.

What a lying piece of shit the vice president of the United States is. Wow.

Diversity doesn’t weaken unions. Racist bosses like Vance using racism to divide workers by race so they can exploit them weakens unions. All this stuff is arsonists complaining about the temperature in the building they set on fire. bsky.app/profile/diew...

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing. Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

Even if the House was fully functional, they're in session for an avg of 147 days and out for 218. Under Speaker Johnson, Congress has been in session only 12 of the last 97 days, and he still won't swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva. These are the people who demand Work Requirements.😐

Every $1 invested in SNAP generates $1.80 in economic activity. It’s not about the money, Trump just wants Americans to go hungry.

After January 6, 2021, Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and Comcast publicly pledged to stop donating to politicians who sought to undermine the legitimate results of the 2020 presidential election. In 2025, these companies have stopped worrying about democracy and are buying Trump a ballroom.

“They’ve got money for ICE and golden ballrooms but not for hungry families” is so easy it’s almost funny
