Under Mark Carney, military spending will balloon and social spending will shrink. That’s no way to bring the country together. #cdnpoli #canlab www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

The art of the long grift

‼️‼️ Newly released emails show the FBI spent almost $1 million in overtime analyzing the Epstein files as part of an effort dubbed the “Special Redaction Project."

If you just don't have the time or energy for a lengthy dissertation, use bullet points: * Lazy grift from tech bros * Environmentally unfriendly * Steals good art to make bad art * Steals good writing to make bad writing * Gives bad, sometimes life-threatening advice * Losing money like crazy

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class. You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

SCOOP—In August, nearly 200 current/former FEMA staffers published the Katrina Declaration, a whistleblower letter detailing all the dangers posed by current leadership. All current employees were put on indefinite leave, and now I've learned one has been fired in violation of federal protections:

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America: 1. Break up corporate monopolies 2. Continue building union power 3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

For anyone who has been confused by the disappearance of the official Anthropic Settlement website, it's back online: www.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com It was temporarily removed thanks to concerns by the judge in the case, who stipulated a number of changes that had to be made.

When I worked for Obama, I advised him on how to talk to Russian leaders. I never gave the Kremlin advice on how to talk to Obama (and I talked to Ushakov many times!).

To support other writers. To support indie publishers. To support indie bookstores. To support crowdfunders. To support an ecosystem where there's not a high economic barrier to being a writer, publisher, bookseller, or alive.

Witchcraft accusations should be a thing of fiction, but they’re happening right now. In Ghana, hundreds of women are accused of witchcraft and struggling to survive. Together we can help end this, and pass the Anti-Witchcraft Bill into law. Sign our pledge for good → bit.ly/4oYq1PC

To reinforce something I've seen others say relevant to the whole "you shouldn't pirate #books" argument (which we shouldn't even be having, FFS): the vast majority of #authors do not make a living off #book sales alone. #Writing books is the side-hustle, not the full-time job, sadly. (1/)

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals. The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry. Where is the MAHA outcry?

Omg this is hilarious!!

"No, this is not cost-cutting or isolationism. This is picking a side – Putin’s side. Any pretence at even-handedness has gone. The tragic truth is that, kompromat or no kompromat, Trump is behaving precisely as he would if he were a Russian asset." www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/11...

We are NOT the same!!

While I agree DF continually makes massive mistakes - we should also point out that Washington and the Trump regime not only continue to meet with Alberta separatists but they also apparently have offered to bankroll them 🤬 I’m pretty sure that is political interference.

Oh, look, a list of Democrats who need to be primaried because they don't understand the difference between democratic socialism and actual socialism. Not surprised at how many entrenched dolts from Massachusetts are on the list, all the usual suspects. www.newsweek.com/full-list-of...

This film really messes with your head. The hero is not who he seems. All you really know about him is he wants to be anyone but himself and is an expert at disguise. The mind-bender: Those whom he mimics are being performed by the actor playing the protagonist. Existential horror. Five Stars.

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

Doug Ford’s latest scandal is almost too brazen to be believed #Opinion from the Star Editorial Board

⬇️⬇️⬇️

Astonishing to stop and realize that, at any given moment, bands of masked men armed to the teeth are storming churches and daycares, terrorizing entire communities—and that most of the country's political establishment barely blinks.

Glad to see press coverage of private education protest today, at least. Hopefully there will be even more of an outcry and it will get the press it deserves. You may have a good idea with your suggestion. Someone has to do something, as this will get even worse over the next potentially five years.

Shame.

If theres 100 surgeons doing surgeries & 25 of them chose to do private practice, even if they are forced to do a certain # of publicly funded surgeries, that still takes them out of public service a large portion of time. It only decreases wait time for the wealthy, which apparently is the goal 🤕

www.cbc.ca/news/world/p... “"I think we have to look for ways of treating people humanely, treating people with the dignity that they have," he said. "If people are in the United States illegally, there are ways to treat that. There are courts, there's a system of justice."

Dear PM Carney Solar & wind power aren’t just better for the climate; they’re also less expensive today than fossil fuels at utility scale, and less harmful to people’s health Smith killed green energies in Alberta. How is she getting away with so much harm? theconversation.com/renewable-en...

This is why you can't use private company's for health care. They set profit targets, not a policy to provide a service as needed. Never ending corporate greed pandered too by some politicians. This should not be happening.

Wait time, if you’re not disconnected, is ~10 minutes. #JustSayNo to Smith: ❌Not Withstanding Clause ❌Privatization ❌Defunding Public Services ❌Political Interference in law & professional regulatory bodies ❌RStar AKA MAS ❌Pipelines + CCUS #AbPoli #AbLeg ☎️ #DefendPublicHealthcare #CorruptCare

What fun to revisit a film twenty years later and find it still makes you laugh. #Shaunofthedead #comedyhorror

Watched the Giller tonight with friends. Although the production was generally awkward, we were all delighted by Souvankham Thammavongsa's description of her main character and unanimously wanted her to win, and she did. Looking forward to reading Pick A Colour. #Gillerprize #Canlit

Souvankham Thammavongsa is the winner of the 2025 #GillerPrize for her novel, PICK A COLOUR. gillerprize.ca/souvankham-t...

Exactly.

He’s a total B**tard - keep pushing @maritstilesndp.bsky.social let him loose his shit and show his true colours.

Trump claims his ICE raids are going after the "worst of the worst". But his own DOJ admits that over 97% of immigrants detained in Chicago have no criminal record. It was always about cruelty, not public safety.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

This is too precious not to share. You’re gonna need volume for this one, and very possibly a tissue.🥰❤️

Bread lines in America.

That's frightening. The further the environment degrades, the greater the risk to all living things. I'm sick of humans who only care about the money. They don't give a damn about the future or those that will have to live with the consequences of their greed.
