On this All Saints Day, wishing a Happy Birthday to the one who shines light and love into every day of my year - and in living with me, definitely shows the patience of a saint: my husband James. ❤️

If I see as much as a single video edit I’m suing for $10 billion. Your move, CBS.

May the odds be ever in your favor

This kind of arbitrary power is frankly terrifying, and the Liberals saying "just trust us" does not inspire confidence, particularly because I trust a future government even less than this crew.

Poilievre's pitch is more austerity and deregulation that helped create the mess that young people are inheriting. Doubling down on trying to create trickle-down economics to own the libs is a choice.

Are you f'g kidding me 🤬 NO, just NO #NovaScotia Nova Scotia Natural Resources Minister Kim Masland confirmed Thursday that her department has received a proposal for a golf development that would use West Mabou /1 thread www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

Remember: when a politician says they’re cutting red tape and “job-killing” regulations, it means we’re no longer being protected from things like this

Are anxieties about increased recognition of Indigenous Rights really about public access? Reporting by The Narwhal suggests some of the loudest voices might have other priorities in mind. Our latest newsletter: thenarwhal.ca/newsletter-b...

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

Don’t use ChatGPT, make friends with an academic librarian that can count your chat messages as “reference questions answered” on their daily statistics sheet

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

THANK YOU to everyone who joined Asha and I tonight!!!!! We had so much fun and are so grateful for your support!

Friends — these are terrible times, to be sure. But I believe we will triumph. Here’s why.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

Andrew Scheer is just motoring through a whole litany of lies. And no, the Harper government did not work with the opposition during the minority years. They dared the opposition to bring them down time and again (and prorogued when they were getting close to doing so). #PnPCBC

Not too sure MAGA Mike is going to like this new national ad buy from the DCCC

I voted YES on Prop 50 because we cannot let anyone silence the will of the people. California is fighting fire with fire and standing up for democracy everywhere. Vote yes on Prop 50 by mail or in person on Election Day, this Tuesday, November 4.

BREAKING: Furloughed employees at CDC just received an email about the shutdown, but has REMOVED language about backpay that appeared in a similar email sent out a month ago. On the left is the Oct 1st email with the backpay language, on the right is the email they received today.

Leaked document. Yikes, things are about to get much worse. It looks like we’re on the verge of becoming a military state across the country. Step out of line, and the man come and take you away.

When modern Christians say “it’s not the government’s job to help the poor,” they’re not echoing Jesus, Paul, the prophets, or the early church. They’re echoing figures like Ayn Rand, who despised Christianity’s communal ethic of compassion and called altruism a “moral evil.”

🇨🇦 Is Canadian media U.S.-owned? I keep hearing this — so I looked into it, and I would like to clear up any misconceptions. And the answer’s complicated — but important.

A long-deranged and deeply depraved man with a pronouncedly and acceleratingly deteriorating mind announces that he intends to play with the large arsenal of nuclear weapons he controls. But it's okay, because he's not seeking a third term.

My latest Legion Magazine "Briefing" article is an interview with Canadian Armed Forces veteran Bruce Moncur. His campaign group, Valour in the Presence of the Enemy, is renewing efforts to award Jess Larochelle the Victoria Cross. legionmagazine.com/campaign-gro...

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving: $100 billion Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%: $100 billion One is decried as "welfare." One is not. Why?

DHS deceptively spliced images from different cities and times in videos sowing fear about "chaos" in Chicago and Washington, D.C., a WaPo investigation found. DHS used footage from years ago, half the country away, or even in international waters, the Post found. 🎁 🔗 wapo.st/4nuDGwf

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare. Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Please keep the people of Jamaica in your thoughts and hearts today. And may the world come together in this moment of devastation to come to their aid.

Today at our mid-week Eucharist, the Gospel reading had Jesus warning his disciples that they would be “hated by the world”, as he was, because they do not “belong to the world.” I feel a lot of Christians today explain away a growing hatred of us with this verse. /1

The Last Republican, in cooperation with Meidas Touch Studios, out now!

There’s a fascist official named Greg Bovino, a section chief for Customs and Border Protection. Folks in L.A. and Chicago know and recognize him, and we should, too. His illegal actions already caused one federal judge to haul him into a courtroom yesterday. And hoo boy. My write-up in the replies.

For all Trump’s bluster, the courts are turning out to be a serious obstacle to his fascist ambitions. Jay Kuo explains how the judiciary keeps kneecapping him at every turn. And Jordan Gonsalves looks at MAGA’s meltdown over Bad Bunny—and what it says about their culture war collapse.

Don Davies: Inflation is still out of control. IT IS NOT! It's in the target range. Yes, core inflation is on the upper bound. Yes, food price inflation is high for reasons outside of our control. But it's absolutely not out of control. FFS. #PnPCBC

Gabrielle Roy was one of Canada's most acclaimed writers. Her books inspired generations of authors, but did so much more. Her writing helped lay the foundation for the Quiet Revolution in Quebec. This is her story. 🧵 1/12

Babe Ruth was one of the greatest baseball players in history. He revolutionized the sport with his homerun hitting but he may have never found his way to baseball immortality if not for a priest from Cape Breton. This is the story of Brother Matthias. 🧵 1/8
