The Democrats are voting LOCK STEP with Republicans. But you dare lecture people on blind loyalty to that party for “the greater good?” Eat glass

This is America.

Just an FYI again. Liking a post does nothing at all. If you want a post to be seen you need people to repost it. And good luck on that. 🙄 I've started the reposter club. Please join me.

Great explainer about the current techbro billionaires and their limited thinking vs previous generations of wealth accumulaters who achieved great wealth (obvs at the expense of others) as middle-aged assholes lol. Concentration of power with current techbros is now a real threat to democracy

superb

A group of frogs is called an Army: This term is widely used and often highlights how frogs can gather in large numbers. Another term also used is Chorus: This term can be used for a group of frogs, especially those that are vocalizing. 🐸🐸

Lesson I keep needing to learn - look deeper into these public prizes for a start! Thank you @nish57.bsky.social for bringing this to our attention. I recommend this article.

Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection. Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

A federal judge has ordered that ICE cannot use rubber bullets or other “less lethal ammo” directly on protesters at the Broadview ICE facility. Good. Now arrest and charge the agents who shot the priest in the head and the woman in her car. Stop letting them get away with it.

Congratulations to Maria Corina Machado, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize - her incredible optimism has already changed her country. I spoke to her, and wrote about her, at the beginning of this year: www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

IMO City of Ottawa is in for some pain for ill-informed (at best) decision-making. “How can you reconcile the Anishinābe Algonquin Nation as a whole when you're doing business with people who are not us?” asked McGregor.

There are two #CUPE members among those on the #FreedomFlotilla that were abducted by Israel. cupe.ca/cupe-stands-...

"When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognize courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist," the five-person Nobel committee said in its citation. #Courage in action! #ResistFascism

Guess what? Vaccinations save lives 👇 also release the #Epstein files

Jason Pugh Harper inherited a $13.7 Billion surplus, which he quickly blew through. Then ran a decade of deficits. He then had a fake "balanced" budget ahead of the 2015 elxn by selling off GM stock at a $3.5B loss, taking $2B from the contingency fund, and underfunding Veterans Affairs. #cdnpoli 👇

Bluesky: "Wow, that's magical. Thanks for writing about and photographing this." Instagram: "Give me the exact map co-ordinates for this place immediately so I can go and ruin it."

I want to go back in time and box the ears of the GP who told my friend she was making up 'chronic fatigue syndrome' and just wanted attention. I wanted to do it then, too. I'll still want to do it in 10 years time.

For anyone who has embarked on a ‘nature walk’ as my family likes to call them and then discovered nature has her wilful ways, this hilariously, clever description will add sparkle to your day.

We’ve called so many things “tipping points” that the public can’t tell when one really tips. Antarctic sea ice may have just crossed a threshold for real. The crisis is clearer than the language. apple.news/A5tAA09s3SQm...

We're going public today with a powerful new tool for researching, following and reporting on local governments across Canada. It’s dragging cities and towns into the 21st century by making 550 municipalities’ public meetings easy to search, all in one place, for the first time.

honestly fu** you if you think gazans are only allowed to ask for help to cover their very basic necessities when they’re starving or being killed, calling a gazan a grifter for trying to secure her education proves that you don’t see gazans as humans who deserve to live equally.

As a parent with a kid who’s starting to play games on the iPad, I’m so pissed at the predatory state of kid’s games. 1. I pay $7 to remove all ads from this game. Yet catch my kid watching ads - even after paying they are offered to watch for in-game rewards. WTH 2. (cont’d)

Catholic Church via the Pope calling out the ultra-wealthy. As I’ve often stated billionaires shouldn’t exist #SocialJustice #Equity #ClimateCrisis #CleanWater #FoodSovereignty

The vindictive prosecutions of political enemies are not a distraction from the Epstein files - they’re one and the same: wielding the power of the DoJ to persecute your foes AND to protect your friends.

A Palestinian child conveys her emotions about the ceasefire agreement, filled with hope and love for life.

Adding to the tragedy of this horrendous act of road violence, Ghost Padron was about to return to their job as an outreach worker at Somerset West CHC. They should have made it home that day and then later to work, helping people with addictions my community. Every life is a universe.

Books Save Lives. Find your courage. Follow your moral compass. Do not obey in advance. Banning books for kids — for all humans — is a form of violence. Books Save Lives.

Instead of praying, I'm going to remind people to get their flu shot, their COVID-19 shot (if they can get one), and wear a respirator in public to keep people like Dolly safe from deadly communicable diseases. Don't just pretend to care, show it with your day to day actions.

I hear and see your concerns. Over the weekend, a couple users hosted on Blacksky's PDS were banned from the Bluesky app and thus the Bluesky API servers. This was a weakness of our system I've been aware of and hoped we had more time to address before any kind of public incident. 1/11

I refuse to let hopelessness prevail. This may just be one essay, by a lawyer few have heard of, in a newsletter read by a fraction of the public. But I will not stay silent. Will you? www.democracydocket.com/opinion/i-re...
