@mark-carney.bsky.social You are losing the confidence of most of the level headed climate advocates I know. They have been happy to have a thoughtful adult at the wheel… but the doubt is growing. Pipelines are concretely the wrong direction. Scientists tell us to stop burning oil ASAP

The 2028 Olympics should not be held in the US. The World Cup Should Have Been Moved To A County That Has global Dignity and Respect. We have become a pariah around the world because of corruption, lies and racism. Every true American should be infuriated and ashamed. Enough!

GOOD NEWS! Phase I clinical trial results out of John Hopkins show a first-of-its-kind vaccine designed to target common KRAS mutations was safe AND stimulated KRAS-specific T-cell responses in 90% of study participants who were at HIGH risk of developing pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

I present to you absolute, undeniable proof that this man below is completely the dumbest person in WORLD HISTORY ever, to form a government. I am still having a hard time with the fact that he is so... fucking... STUPID!!!

We stopped laughing a long time ago. We will never trust America again.

Taylor Farms, which supplies major fast food and grocery chains, was identified as the possible source of the cyclosporiasis outbreak Thursday.

Trump may be insane but he & Stephen Miller mean to steal the midterms using ICE & US troops. Remember soldiers, you took an oath to the Constitution. A free & fair election means no interference by ICE thugs & serving military. Don't let yourself be used to crush what little democracy is left.

The ex wife of the killer ICE agent in MAINE says he threatened her with a gun, threw their 13yo daughter threw a glass table, and played NPR a recording of him saying she should have her throat cut. ICE gave him a badge and a gun. Abolish ICE. www.npr.org/2026/07/17/n...

Fix the schools - and you'll fix the city. Meanwhile, Paris has now 300 "rue aux écoles". These are school street where walking, playing, relaxing and cycling is allowed, and driving is forbidden. Around 50% of all public nursery and elementary schools in Paris now have a school street in front.

The US CFPB consumer financial protection bureau is mission critical for consumers. MAGAts want to make screwing over consumers into a turkey shoot by crippling it. Despicable MAGAts. www.consumerfinance.gov/about-us/the...

Australia is simply not trying to crawl out of the barrel. The government increased student visa fees—again. We went from $710 to $2500 in two years. For HEI graduates, the visa allowing them to live and work after their studies here for up to two years went from $4600 to $5750. 🫠

Another good reason to boycott Procter & Gamble is that is continues to collaborate with fascist Russia.

Nice living in Canada… tonight, we had salad, with lettuce, and romaine lettuce, mandarin orange slices and berries… not even a little worried about the plumbing, because we do not have morons running our country.

When you had fires we sent our teams to help. We just lost a Canadian helping fight fires in Colorado and you send us dumb-ass threats. No you don't love us. www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

In the midst of a record-breaking heatwave, Toronto is now breathing the worst air in the world. These wildfires have also caused air quality alerts across Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin, and smoke is forecast to move to New York, Washington and the East coast later this week.

“No official response. Nothing sent to our office.” @govandybeshear.bsky.social should absolutely call a special session and make them prove Mcconnell is alive to stop it. They can’t get away with running out the clock. And if it is a lie, everyone involved should be charged with a crime.

Well that lasted all of 15 minutes.

Stay safe Ontario!
