Today we had an opportunity to hold Pam Bondi accountable for refusing to release the full, unredacted Epstein files in accordance with our bipartisan subpoena issued in August last year. Instead of supporting my amendment, Republicans are allowing her and the DOJ to play us for fools.

“It was a simpler time then, back when all people wanted to talk about was the leader of the country molesting underage girls,” said Denver resident Scott Munoz

A well-known emergency medicine physician has compiled a list of six patients who died waiting for a doctor to attend to them in Alberta’s packed and chaotic emergency rooms over the two weeks at the end of 2025 and the start of 2026. @djclimenhaga.bsky.social writes. #abpoli

This is great because a lot of people in real life don’t know about Jan 20. It seems to be an online idea at this point. I gave my employees the day off! I’m a good radical liberal scum.

We’ve adopted a new policy clarifying how we’ll be using digital platforms to share our journalism Going forward, we will expect any platforms we use to demonstrate basic commitments to user safety, information integrity and democratic values Learn more: pressprogress.ca/journalistic...

Several Canadian news orgs have already left X, but I believe @pressprogress.ca may be the first to adopt a policy setting standards around use of digital platforms We think it's time news orgs stop prioritizing clicks and start requiring higher standards from these platforms

I believe Avi Lewis is the leader the NDP needs right now. He’s someone who gives us hope, unites our movements, and offers bold, inspiring solutions to tackle affordability while upholding human rights without qualification or exception. (1/2)

Sunrise Market’s days as a cheap source of healthy food, in an area of the city with high rates of poverty and food insecurity, could be numbered. 🥕 @kehyslop.bsky.social reports.

Why Patient Complaints Are Breaking Emergency Physicians. Much of the anger directed at ER docs reflects not a failure of care—but a failure of the system, by Michael Rubin, MD mikerubinmd.substack.com/p/why-patien...

DHS Warns Any Action By Americans Will Be Treated As Domestic Terrorism

All I hear when people say "if you're not constantly furious at the news, you don't care" is "if you're not overwhelming your nervous system to the point of exhaustion, you're doing it wrong". It's ok to be working for change in a terrible context & take care of yourself so you can be functional.

That is now 2 statements from Carney that have legitimized Trump's violent, extrajudicial overthrow & kidnapping of another country's leader. Our prime minister looks more Neville Chamberlain than elbows up rn. (He has also failed to speak directly to Canadians who might be feeling unsettled.)

What (and I can’t stress this enough) THE FUCK.

Trump is weak at home, and he can be stopped – so long as the domestic political logic of foreign intervention is recognized and turned against him. This act of war is about regime change in the United States. It only succeeds if Americans allow it to do so. snyder.substack.com/p/venezuela-...

2025 was a big year for fighting back against Ken Sim and his billionaire-backed agenda. 2026 is going to be even bigger. Come enjoy drinks, music, and conversation with COPE organizers, activists, and members at ChillX studio on Dec 27 for our year-end bash. www.copevancouver.ca/2026_cope_wi...

“But it's also clear that there is likely something in the files that further incriminates him.” This is what I think, too. Horrible as the facts at hand are, there must be something else, something verging on the unimaginable. www.meditationsinanemergency.com/feminism-ver...

Mohammed was 17 years old when he was shot by an Israeli sniper in Bethlehem. Two years on, his family say there is no accountability for his death. Their story is one of dozens from communities across the West Bank Read more: www.theferret.scot/i...

1/ Delawareans are already feeling the effects of Trumpcare. Dave wrote to my office to share that without an extension of the ACA tax credits, his wife—who suffers from multiple ailments—and he will see their premium jump to $1,200 a month and will lose their coverage.

Last year, CBC revealed 1/3 of Ontario police suspensions involved allegations of domestic violence & sexual assault. In 2020 the federal govt settled a $100m class action lawsuit against RCMP by past employees for gender-based discrimination, harassment & assault. 9/ www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Blacked out faces in Epstein photo creates a 'problem for Donald Trump': MS NOW reporter A collection of Jeffrey Epstein photos released by Democrats contained one of Trump with an assortment of women which is already raising questions about the president. www.rawstory.com/epstein-phot...

Only one person in today's Jeffrey Epstein photo dump is an adjudicated rapist who refused to give his DNA in that case and has over two dozen accusations of sexual assault including one from his first wife. It's also the same guy who bragged about sexual assault on a hot mic. It’s this pos👇🏼

But their landlord, a company called Plan A owned by Anoop Majithia, has a long, long history of rental act violations and using various flimsy reasons to evict tenants. The tenants now want to know why this company is still being allowed to evict people. thetyee.ca/News/2025/12...

The turmoil on the BC right is not about one leader. It is what happens when first past the post forces every faction into a single party. Proportional representation gives voters real choice and lets parties compete honestly instead of fighting internally.

Seniors don't just deal with poverty but with challenges of aging like chronic disease, mobility loss, declining health and the loss of spousal and community support. And the challenges of seniors living in poverty are largely invisible says @iglikaivanova.bsky.social.

ABC Vancouver raising costs on all of us for a slogan www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Vancouverites can’t afford Ken Sim’s budget.

Look who's gonna pay for Ken Sim's tax break for the super-rich: "most park board program and service fees will rise next year by an average of about 5%...swimming lessons, skate rentals and admissions to public golf courses, attractions and parks, among other things." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This budget debate is painful. The mayor sets an arbitrary budget target (so he can say he raised taxes less than the last mayor) then he shovels money at the police …. and then every other city budget item has to justify its existence vs “filling potholes”.

We could live in a country where we reduce our energy bills, clean our air and water, revitalize our communities, take back our energy sovereignty, and create thousands of good-paying union jobs in the process. The secret? Public ownership.

When Jamal Khashoggi was killed , all the TV networks were chasing me down to have me on to talk about Trump, Mohammed Bin Salman, Saudi Arabia and the murder. Now that MBS is back in town and being wined and dined by Trump, Musk, Bezos and other tech billionaires? I have not had one TV invite.

1/ We're honoured to share that Flor Marcelino, beloved Manitoba New Democrat, has endorsed @avilewis.ca for leadership of the federal NDP. #cdnpoli

“The review found that Harvard in 2005 admitted Mr. Epstein as a visiting fellow in the psychology department and readmitted him the following year. And the review concluded “it is likely” that Mr. Epstein visited Harvard more than 40 times after his release from jail, between 2010 and 2018.” BRO.

My rent is going up regardless of property tax increases.

Sim has shown throughou his term--especially in Council meetings, that he is lazy and unprepared most days. Almost every meeting when bylaws are voted on: "did not read, will not be voting". He likes to "wing it" because it means less work, and he thinks he's smarter than everyone else. #vanpoli

Ken Sim's comments on EarlyEd were delusional: His defense of "thorough budget presentation" suggested councillors were afforded multiple rounds of questions. In fact, critical councillors were given only two 5min blocks for questions and answers on 90 slide, 23p, $2.4b budget before ABC cut us off

Reminder: Ken Sim’s budget will make food trucks more expensive. Or with a 25x increase in permit fees, put your favourite one out of business.

I love that 100 years after we learned that booze prohibition didn’t stop consumption, just made it deadly, we’re starting to put together that drug prohibition doesn’t work either.
