"I haven’t seen a performance given by Catherine O’Hara, comedic or otherwise, that she didn’t absolutely nail....There’s always a grasping, desperate humanity to her characters, even the ones that make the audience uncomfortable." www.thebulwark.com/p/catherine-...

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Good Morning Everyone Hope your Thanksgiving was grand Now this long weekend to enjoy but remember Today ain't black. AND WE AIN'T BUYING SHIT Thank you to the wonderful Jennifer Lewis !!

“DEMOCRACY is never guaranteed. Every generation must PRESERVE it, DEFEND it, and FIGHT FOR IT.” ~ president Joe Biden~

The Canadian economy obliterates expectations in September, adding 60,000 jobs, many in manufacturing, showing resilience and confidence in the face of the Trump factor. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 ❤️🍁🇨🇦TEAM CANADA FOREVER🇨🇦🍁❤️ ❤️🍁🇨🇦VIVE LE CANADA 🇨🇦🍁❤️

We know exactly how you feel, Carney.

Message from Ukraine: Thank you, Canada. For being yourselves when so many others are trying to be worse. You reminded us that we are not alone. Because of you, this morning felt a little less like the end of the world. And more like something worth staying alive for. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Thank you, Neil, for your support. Keep on Rockin’ in the Free World. tinyurl.com/yzmj52yj

Canada, abortion is the canary in the coal mine. Restricting abortion is a tool of authoritarian regimes. Which party has the forced birth candidates? The conservatives! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

🔥 Rep. @aoc.bsky.social : “There’s a certain kind of word for this kind of thing: CORRUPTION.”

"Pierre Poilievre's plan will leave us divided and ready to be conquered," said Mark Carney. "Because a person who worships at the altar of Donald Trump will kneel before him, not stand up to him."

If Russia wants peace, they should end the invasion.

@aoc.bsky.social: "Listen, if your representative is not doing a town hall, give me a ring... I'll say it right here, right now: if a deep red Republican district wants to have an honest conversation, even if it's with someone they disagree with, I'm willing to do that."

Could not agree more. The Prez & VP are shameful, embarrassing Putin puppets & a disgrace to our country. 🤮 #SlavaUkraine 🇺🇦

Canada beats the US in the 4 Nations faceoff in overtime 3-2. The US now becomes a Canadian province and Trump is downgraded to Premier.

BREAKING: Canada defeats the USA to take home the #4Nations  Championship 🇨🇦🇺🇸 Canadian PM Justin Trudeau tweeted: “You can’t take our country — and you can’t take our game.”

white nationalist men are too emotional to be in charge

Oh, wow! Mega congrats, @meidastouch.com!! 👏👏 www.newsweek.com/joe-rogan-de...

Rep. Morgan McGarvey checking in on a few of Trump's promises for working families — must have missed them in the Republicans' budget. Guess what IS in there? Ending Medicaid as we know it.... #HandsOffMyMedicaid

Because you're stupid and choose to stay that way.

Raskin: "Trump is suing CBS for $20b in damages because, check this out, he believes an interview with Kamala Harris produced too favorable an impression of her. That means I could sue Fox News because I think their interview with Trump produce too favorable an impression. I mean, this is lunacy."

Mark Carney: This is the time to change.

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

FOTUS is flooding the zone with illegal EOs and a barrage of actions to overwhelm us. Put on your snorkels and keep swimming. There are consequences to the fascist flood zone. #1 they aren’t getting promised work done. Remind MAGA of that fact daily #Voices4Victory m.youtube.com/watch?v=iTSg...

Absolutely brutal scroll on Fox.

Boom!! That’s how it’s done!! 🇲🇽 🇨🇦

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Jim Acosta, we are with you.

The next time you hear someone say the courts won't help protect democracy, send them this video. It is why I say democracy is on the docket! youtu.be/4s--iiS0lOA

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Let's be clear about what happened today: Donald Trump tried to cut a giant chunk of government funding — hurting preschoolers, seniors, and veterans. Trump's illegal shutdown is blocked for now — but don't forget that he tried to cut programs supporting working families.

Remember this, X, Threads, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok have all kissed the ring of darkness. BlueSky is our only social media salvation. We must protect it. 🦋

People not elected to government should not have the power to reshape the government, especially people whose obscene wealth depends on the government functioning a certain way. This is not a hot take. It's just plain common sense.
