Hey all! I'm running a B.C.-specific Trans I.D. clinic at an event this Saturday in Vancouver. I've got funding to cover the name change fees of a few low(er)-income trans folk. If you'd like to take part in this, send me a message or an email!

Everything about this headline is hilarious. And the YouTube views are a reflection of how wildly the right has overblown the number of people paying attention.

A mini #BookReview of Illusions by Richard Bach. (⭐⭐⭐) Light on plot but punches above its weight philosophically. Agree with it or not (you’ll likely do both), this book needs readers with views not ossified by time or habit & strives for readers to consider the world from a new angle. #BookSky

Quizzically staring at the mirror, alarmed by some new weird marks on my arm, trying to figure out what is going on and worried I may have some kind of medical issue... Friends, it turns out I have accidentally developed muscles lol

i think everyone should mind their own business about other people’s religion but also not tolerate flimsy pretexts for bigotry

"I have spent the last few weeks addressing and preparing for a military invasion by the President of the United States. No, I’m not a soldier or a foreign adversary. I’m the Governor of Illinois"

Gonna go even further: don't refer to it as "consuming media" when doing this. You aren't a consumer - it's not a product. You read books. You look at art. You watch movies and/or videos. Be careful about word choice. Reject "consume" and REJECT "CONTENT." IT IS ART. YOU ARE ENGAGING WITH ART.

Once more: the best evidence shows that Tylenol taken during pregnancy is not harmful. **This question is settled.** The benefit of reducing discomfort and fever is extremely important at a time when the fetus is developing.

Thank you, Secretary General António Guterres, for our meeting ahead of the #UNGA.   After 80 years, the United Nations remains a critical forum. In an increasingly divided world, it is only by collective effort that we can create lasting peace and prosperity.

In Canada.. ICE is for CURLING 🥌 peacelovecanada.ca/products/ice...

Former counselor to RFK Jr’s predecessor:

Conducting tasks while receiving e-mails and phone calls reduces a worker’s IQ by about ten points relative to working in uninterrupted quiet. That is equivalent to losing a night’s sleep, and twice as debilitating as using marijuana.

Correct. People talk about "swing voters" but the single biggest swing vote is nothing to do with left or right wing, it's between "voted" and "didn't vote", and smart campaigns need to act accordingly.

Here's what Saint Charlie said about Crockett a few months before he died. www.mediamatters.org/charlie-kirk...

we do this argument every once in a while and no one in favor uses empirics because the empirics are not kind to the argument in favor of national service www.kansascity.com/opinion/read...

The adage "information is power" has never been truer Disinfo has compromised liberal democracies. The CPC are counting on it to ride scientifically dubious "hot button"—read: manufactured—issues, just as Trump did Either we regain control over our info ecosystem or Canada too will fall #CdnPoli

It’s important to know in advance that you will regret going along with it, but it’s also important to say to those who made the wrong decision that you can always stop going along with it, in fact it’s the best thing you could do

At Paul Wellstone's funeral in 2002, some liberals expressed anger and resolution to carry on his fight. The Fox News crowd screamed about it for weeks, about how angry liberals were, about how unhinged and inappropriate it was to be *angry* at a *funeral* and on and on. But today, of course...

Holy shit. The administration might be evacuating the ICE facility we've been protesting for weeks. If this ends up happening, it's a huge deal. Protests matter. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-ev...

This is fascinating, 94% of college students had heard of Charlie Kirk - and 70% of those who heard of him disagreed with him puck.news/what-college...

The new study estimated that at current rates, humans will burn enough fossil fuels and release enough climate pollution to commit the planet to over 1.5°C of global warming above preindustrial temperatures within about three more years, in 2028. yaleclimateconnections.org/2025/09/clim...

Thank you to former PM Justin Trudeau. 👍👏 The Moderna facility in Laval, Quebec will soon be rolling out Canadian made Covid vaccines. Hopes of later producing RSV & some Cancer fighting vaccines. HUGE!!! 🇨🇦 #cdnpoli

Thank fuck Canada is producing its own vaccines again.

As corrupt and appalling as the ouster of this career prosecutor for refusing to prosecute Trump's enemies truly is, I strongly encourage folks to also understand this as evidence that Trump's authoritarian designs are facing serious institutional resistance:

One thing that's absolutely f---ing unbearable on this site is that if you dare to point out that Trump is not actually successfully oppressing all of us on every conceivable front, that not *all* is irretrievably lost, a parade of doomers materializes to denounce you. It's counterproductive. Stop.

PM Carney met UN Sec-Gen Guterres: called for immediate Gaza ceasefire, hostage release & humanitarian relief; affirmed Canada’s recognition of Palestine & 2-state solution. They also discussed lasting peace in Ukraine & urgent stabilization in Haiti.

Trump at Charlie Kirk’s memorial service: “He did not hate his opponents. He wanted the best for them. That’s where I disagreed with Charlie. I HATE my opponent, and I don’t want the best for them. I’m sorry.” Again, this is a memorial service.

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended. It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

To those at the Draw the Line rallies — your passion matters. You’re speaking up for climate, fairness, and future generations. That’s important, and it’s heard.

Brazilians held protests in all 26 states and the Federal District against a possible pardon for former President Jair Bolsonaro and his allies, who were convicted of attempting a coup.

Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous. It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy." Because that's not how America works. play.prx.org/listen?ge=pr...
