petro is so beast

The next time someone tells you that America isn’t a sick & racist country, just remind them that this nation is willing to accept treason, rape, and child abuse from a white president but not healthcare from a Black one.

Anti-Christ

None of this could happen without wealth so extreme as to make one essentially above the law.

Just to carefully note this to local readers. As in both Florida and New York, in Ontario sexual activity by an adult with a 15-year-old person is very strictly AGAINST the law. "Bare legality"/"Barely Legal" is not a concept in law, only a concept only in pornography, where Ms. Kelly sourced this.

The Wall Street Journal obtained all the FBI Director's flight records, and I never realized the job involved so much fun travel. www.jezebel.com/if-only-kash...

Man of the people!

Can't say this enough. Everyone who voted for the Shitgibbon already knew he was a crook, predator, and at the very least a pederast. And they probably hate those things about him, too. It's just that they hate minorities more.

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

“A felon whose sentence President Trump commuted in the final hours of his first term was sentenced to 27 months in prison on Monday after being accused of a range of criminal conduct — including physical and sexual assault — since Mr. Trump freed him.” www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/n...

It all would have been much easier if, as would have happened if we were remotely a serious country, it all ended with the Access Hollywood interview.

This exact same reporter was ousted from the NY Times for soliciting a $30,000 donation from Epstein— and you're telling me that as an employer, the NY Times never bothered to circle back and review this person's correspondence with a convicted pedophile?

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills: the emails from Landon Thomas has his New York Times signature block...he was employed by NY Times at the time. He was communicating directly with Epstein about Trump, and was given incriminating information about Trump. It's been in NYT's possession since 2015

Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

Canada is the only G7 country whose greenhouse gas emissions have increased since 1990. thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

You've got your flagrant cowardice, your too-clever-by-half DC-brained tactical maneuvering that fools no one but impresses reporters, your fealty to bipartisanship in an era when your opponents are dumping diarrhea on your head, your insane belief in the power of symbolic votes ... everything.

Lots of reasons for Canada (and the US?) losing measles elimination status, and I don't think we can discount the likelihood that one of them is some variation of "every generation must learn for itself that the stove is hot"

Just spoke to journalist about Canada losing its measles elimination status. A frustrating day for public health. I have a lot of thoughts about this that I will put in writing soon.

While Trump murders people on boats for supposedly trafficking drugs, Jonathan Braun, a convicted drug trafficker serving a 10 year sentence he pardoned in 2021, will be sentenced in court today after he sexually assaulted a woman after Trump freed him from prison.

DONALD TRUMP: [asleep, drooling on long red tie] SENATE DEMOCRATS: fine, we give in

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

This speech never gets old.

A leader would not have lost eight colleagues tonight. This happened because you let it happen or because you’ve totally lost control of the caucus in one of the most important moments since you’ve been Democratic leader. Either way, it’s on you. You need to step down. We need someone who can lead.

Democrats won't create the lasting change or tap into the rage of the majority with Schumer and Jeffries in the lead. Centrists won't get it done, no matter how the establishment wills it. The country has radically shifted. The last 10 years is your evidence.

As long as NYT is asking “Did women ruin the workplace” can they also ask: •Did men ruin safe workplaces? •Did men ruin domestic safety? •Did men ruin public safety? •Did men ruin global peace? Or is a clear “YES” to all these questions just too difficult for fragile men to accept—so NYT avoids it?🤔

I havent read such a banger of an essay in a very long time. This is so well-written!

!!!! This is a DISGRACE and so deeply disturbing. Support Luke! Support Press Progress! Support journalism!!!

This is one hell of a piece of writing

Guy with a sandwich: “Fuck you armed agent of the state.” Ivy League: “I will eat my poop and thank you for it because I’m scared of a Fox News personality cosplaying as a lawyer”

“The regime wants all of us afraid. It is counting on fear immobilizing us and perhaps even turning us against each other. Instead, what we are currently seeing in Chicago is that solidarity can overcome fear and can give people the courage and tenacity to fight for each other.” --Mariame Kaba

Men like this can't imagine a world where their wealth won't automatically buy them access, influence, and power.

People whose goals and interests are at odds with yours will inevitably try to appeal to your sense of empathy. Show me someone who privileges empathy over other considerations, and I'll show you a mark.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

LFG ✊🏼

I should also point out that historically these cuts have been a shell game as workers are replaced by consultants and temp agency workers at greater cost to government than the workers tossed out on the street
