Are you telling me *this* man might have been involved in his best friend's sex ring of teenage girls? Does that sound like him?

Is this building the country?

“Public hospitals are being starved of staff and funding, while private providers receive inflated payments for the lowest complexity surgeries,” @alonghurst.bsky.social said. #OnPoli #OnHealth

Folds: If we’ve been told our whole lives that we can’t spend money on the arts because they’re not important—then why was taking over the Kennedy Center and the arts the first thing they did? It is extremely important. It’s the bedrock of self-expression.

Sometimes calls for prayer are sincere and sometimes they are an argument: a claim that this is God’s fault and our choices and policies have nothing to do with it.

The death toll in Central Texas climbed to at least 70 as of midday Sunday, as rescuers searched for people swept away by devastating floods and forecasters warned that downpours would continue in already hard-hit areas. Follow live updates. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/07...

Even knowing this is where fascism was headed, it's still haunting and terrifying to the core to see the fully built camps

In a country characterized by the rule of law, some regulation of immigration is a legitimate function of government. In a lawless, expressly bigoted, and expressly corrupt regime, it is not. Download IceBlock and defy this administration.

You think that vast armed force is going to be used just for immigration? I doubt it. Watch for ICE duties to expand duties and for ICE to follow the pattern of militarization of police. Also watch it used as secret police against anything anti-ICE.

A lot of people have cognitive dissonance that prevents them from accepting that the government is actually trying to kill them

It's the best method for keeping democracy dead.

Just heard Bill Kristol, former chief of staff for Dan Quayle, say he thinks ICE should be defunded and that the entire DHS should probably be disbanded, which puts him to the left of maybe the majority of elected Democrats. Truly wild times we’re living in.

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that. The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one. This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

Someday hopefully people will understand that effective altruism was a stepping stone towards allowing the wealth class to jettison their shred humanity and embrace a supremacist worldview where they are literally superman meant to rebuild humanity from the ashes in their image.

We told Senator Britt this bill would kill working people and she smirked as the elevator doors closed.

We’re starting to think Fox is low key Team Zohran

Elbows down for Carney and the gang 🤣

Passing legislation that violates Indigenous rights, spits on privacy, and now, appeasing Trump. Why the fuck did we want Carney again?

Embarrassed for Canada right now. We just lost billions of dollars for nothing. Trump doesn’t follow the law. He’s a criminal. Bring Freeland back to negotiate on behalf of Canadians.

🛑Possible rabies exposure in Toronto. Contact with a bat. The person exposed hasn't been identified. Please share far and wide, it's vital the unidentified exposed individual receives post-exposure prophylaxis with rabies vaccine as soon as possible🛑 toronto.citynews.ca/2025/06/27/1...

Senate Republicans have quietly inserted provisions in President Trump’s domestic policy bill that would not only end federal support for wind and solar energy but would impose an entirely new tax on future projects, a move that industry groups say could devastate the renewable power industry.

Small things that make a big environmental difference: - shopping locally - eating a few plant based meals a week - riding your bike - not having your wedding attended via 100 private jets - composting

David Crane: We have great talent in Canada and many ambitious entrepreneurs with world-class ideas. That is where we should be putting our economic muscle. And this is Carney’s test. www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/0...

Communities can’t depend on charity from billionaires. Tax the rich and fund public services.

I don’t think Canada should give up The DST in trade negotiations with the US. Why should Canada trust Trump? He’s already broken multiple trade agreements. It’s too big of a concession to give a country that is no longer an ally. Use the DST money to invest in Canada.

As Trump was creating chaos at NATO and in the Middle East Canada and the EU were diligently planning a new future. The Prime Minister describes it as a hinge moment in history. Our future lies in Europe. This is a dramatic change. charlieangus.substack.com/p/the-hinge-...

Unprecedented authoritarian attacks on higher education. Every accusation right-wing defenders of academic freedom, campus speech, viewpoint diversity, the marketplace of ideas, & limited government made, over many decades, was a lie & a confession.

Every day the world reaches a new low. The bottom really doesn’t exist huh.

Pierre Poilievre admitting in the debate that he's going to suspend the Charter of Rights and Freedoms so he can defend the charter rights of the people he deems to be worthy should terrify everyone. Seeing what's happening in the US with ICE he wants the same thing in Canada

Constituents to Chuck Grassley: "Are you bringing back that guy from El Salvador?" Senior Citizen: “If I get an order to pay a ticket to pay $1200 and I just say ‘no’, does that stand up? Because he just got an order from the Supreme Court and he just said ‘screw it’” “I’M PISSED!”

Fallout continues #cdnpse www.ctvnews.ca/atlantic/pri...

NEBRASKA CROWD: “TAX THE RICH! TAX THE RICH!” @USRepMikeFlood: “So your proposal to solve (the debt) is tax the rich?” NEBRASKA CROWD: *CHEERS WILDLY* (not sure this went quite as he planned 😬)

INCREDIBLE Ruling! Judge Reyes just ruled that transgender people have served honorably in the military, judges Trumps trans military ban - which states trans people are inherently dishonorable - as unconstitutional and motivated by animus. Trans military members may continue to serve.

It sounds like we out negotiated his ass last round

Maybe a round of golf would settle things

This may be the biggest free speech crisis in living memory. The president now bragging about detaining a lawful permanent resident and smearing him as 'pro Hamas', no outlining any specific crimes he is accused of or charged with. This is what a fascist takeover looks like.

We touched the stove so much they’re turning it off.

Wait, Twitter is down?

I need movie suggestions. Heeellllp me

"it is a party's job to earn your vote" rather than "participating in the government of a republic is a citizen's duty" is just decadence.

Just saw a thread about a guy calling into cspan saying his diabetic supplies increased from 5 dollars to 80 dollars and somebody in the comments, probably multiple people but I stopped reading, replied “FAFO” and I can’t stress enough how much you need to stop doing that shit

Who’s voting this week?! PLEASE MAKE A PLAN TO VOTE AND TAKE AS MANY PEOPLE WITH YOU THAY NEED RIDES!

Hey Heeeeeeey Do you have a plan for Ontario election day on Thursday? Polls are 9am-9pm. Maybe offer rides to people who could have trouble getting there, or ask if people want to go with you!

Man I hurt my back so bad a few weeks ago and hurt it again on Friday. Good grief

Please: Anyone but Doug Ford. Ford is uniquely unqualified and unsuited to be a leader for this moment. His years in office have been defined by shortages — a lack of homes, doctors, teachers, jobs, skilled workers, subways, buses, and bike lanes. #Opinion
