One of my favourite authors owning Space Karen is the unexpected treat of the week. #joycecaroloates @joycecaroloates.bsky.social

We’re watching Joyce Carol Oates slowly torture a Boer to death in real-time

i have missed this drama but this is the most joyce carol oates thing to ever joyce carol oates

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

Trillionaires should not exist.

They just approved Elon for a TRILLION DOLLARS in pay. For THIS.

Worker ownership is proven to create far more equitable pay ratios. The average for worker-owned cooperatives in the United States is 2-to-1. Unfortunately, it seems like almost no one really brings this up as the alternative. That is why we must continue to talk about it so that awareness expands.

Call and leave your own message for each traitor who just betrayed the American people: Dick Durbin Angus King Catherine Cortez Masto Jacky Rosen Maggie Hassan Jeanne Shaheen John Fetterman Tim Kaine US Capitol Switchboard (202) 224-3121 A few MILLION messages might make the point, please do all

Dick Durbin, Angus King, Jacky Rosen, Catherine Cortez Masto, Maggie Hassan, Jeanne Shaheen, John Fetterman, Tim Kaine. FUCK THEM ALL. All because billionaires were scared for their profits over the holidays. They caved & we're further fucked because they won't do their fucking jobs for citizens.

A more appropriate question is “Does Ross Douthat really deserve a NYTimes column and podcast if he is going to ask such stupid questions?”

I don’t even know where to start with this, @nytimes.com. But you’re really taking on the whole South Park Pam Bondi look. #fuckthepatriarchy #menruineverything

We are pretty sure white cis-men did that on their way to destroying democracy 🙃

Crockett: When you go and you hit those booths come the midterms, think about which party decided that it was okay to literally be on vacation while people were going hungry in the streets of America.

🤬🤬🤬🤬

And yes, Mark Zuckerberg was in the room.

And the cowards at #CondeNast and #Vogue are obliterating everything @teenvogue.com was honoured for by the @rooseveltinstitute.org and fired employees who spoke out about it. Cancel your subscriptions, hit in the only place that matters to them: profits. #nokings #riseup

Your cat when you're choking to death in your apartment

Breaking News: Late last night Conde Nast illegally fired 4 union organizers who asked company execs to explain the downsizing of Teen Vogue and continued layoffs. We’ve filed a grievance.

Mark Carney is billing it as an “investment budget,” but with plans to cut $60 billion in program spending and eliminate 40,000 jobs (10% of the federal public service), @dtcochrane.bsky.social says it’s more like an austerity budget Our podcast live from inside the budget media lock-up yesterday:

I did not have this on my Budget Bingo card: Carney will weaken the anti-greenwashing legislation

This budget hurts people. 40,000 jobs cut. Services cut. Indigenous services gutted. Nothing for the environment. But American big-tech billionaires? They get tax breaks. We can still fix this. Mark Carney can still amend this budget and choose fairness.

Bitch, you were on the ballot. #nokings

Trump Writes Netanyahu Strongly Worded Check

Trump: "Hear me, President Trump, when I say this: to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us."

I’m so proud of my state and our leaders. New Mexico is the first state to offer free child care and Albuquerque has free bus service. These are two issues that mayor elect Mamdani is considering. Imagine, a small blue state, setting standards for all. 😊 Thank you @govmlg.bsky.social

Man @gavinnewsom’s team doesn’t mess around

Flooded UK coalmines could provide low-carbon cheap heat ‘for generations’

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Thank you, New York City. Together we made history. Now let’s get to work. transition2025.com

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

Here’s looking at you, Smith, Ford, Moe. Also, on his wife Aline, who saved his life and stopped him from making some stupid choices (including war): “She was a great influence on me, and it was (a) very, very good partnership.” www.winnipegfreepress.com/canada/2025/...

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.

NEW: Whether you measure it by number of supporters, fundraising ability, or by the size of its militant groups, the white nationalist movement in Canada has never been larger or more of a threat.

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?

Portland dance group offers free Latin dance lessons at ICE facility 💃🏽

The current homepage of USDA. This is deeply and profoundly fucked up. And illegal. People need to go to jail.

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

Over 50 people gathered at a rally today in support of the safe consumption site in Parkdale. SCS save lives. This week, the Government of Ontario stated they are going to defund the site, which is the last in the west end of the city, on November 22nd

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

I like how Zohran Mamdani scandals are like "He called his old cousin his aunt one time" and Andrew Cuomo scandals are like "He sexually assaulted 13 women."

Ford created the problem by introducing scarcity to supervised consumption and harm reduction services. Now he’s using that contrived problem to close one of the oldest harm reduction programs in the country. DON’T LET THE BASTARDS GRIND YOU DOWN, PARKDALE!

I live just minutes away. Since April, with the closure of other supervised consumption sites, I've responded to two people overdosing in Parkdale. This is just like how things were before SCS, when I was reversing overdoses in drop-in centre bathroom stalls at work. We're back where we started.

Ford has been working to close these sites since he renamed them “CTS” and made everyone who spent a decade getting approval apply again. The stat that matters: deaths at a supervised consumption service or OPS = ZERO. Closure = DEATH. #pwud #parkdale #parkdaleordie #harmreduction #humanity

In light of the Ford government's announced closure of the safe consumption site at Parkdale Queen West Community Health Centre, this story has become even more resonant. www.westendphoenix.com/stories/ever...

Calling all of Parkdale: Show up for lifesaving services and healthcare in your community! People fought and died for this site—don’t let Ford and NIMBYs take it away. #fightthepower #parkdaleordie @phpndp.bsky.social #pwud #harmreduction #yyz

The bulldozers that razed the White House’s East Wing to make room for Donald Trump’s new ballroom have also demolished a garden named for Jackie Kennedy.
