Too good not to share. Bedford Highway, #Bedford, #NovaScotia in 1898.

Friday, Sept. 26, is the FINAL DAY for signups for my independent class, Race, Media and International Affairs 101 and 102. We WILL NOT new enrollments after 11:59 pm on the 26th. Classes start Oct. 6th! Enroll here: www.resistancesummerschool.com/fall-2025-re...

I have bad news and I have good news. The bad news is that Tylenol causes #Autism. The good news is that it only causes autism in the United States (of stupidity).

On Friday, this Canadian cancelled my subscription to #Disney & donated $25 to support @propublica.org’s independent, fearless journalism. Trump has cowed American corporations & the American media. This is a frightening time & we need to fight harder. How we spend money is powerful.

Howdy 👋 Here’s one of my favorite watercolor paintings “Grass Widow” Tiny, dazzling flowers dapple sun-drenched hillsides during the early spring bloom at the east end of the Columbia River Gorge, bordering Oregon & Washington. #PNW #artsky #flowers #floral #art #artoftheday #painting

Vote with your dollars.

Not only did the Canadian women’s rugby team beat New Zealand, which that hasn’t lost a game in the World Cup since 2014, they CROWDFUNDED this whole endeavour. Next week, they play for the cup, but they’ve already won our hearts. Go #Canada 🇨🇦 Go! #rugby #womensrugby

While Trump is getting rid of U.S. Attorneys who won’t gun up prosecutions against his enemies, his Justice Department is quietly closing investigations into members of his own administration (apparently at Bove’s direction) www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?

This.

This is amazing. Go #Canada 🇨🇦Go! #Rugby #WomensRugby

I wish I could have donated more. We need independent media in the US more than at any time in US history.

It’s been such a bad month. I feel like the chances of the USA falling into an #autocracy are now at about 70 percent. What do you think @jamellebouie.net and @timmiller.bsky.social? #Trump #Fascism PS: I don’t expect either to respond.

Oh my god, I almost swallowed my tongue.

ICE continues to assault us. We are peacefully protesting. They are kidnapping and hurting us.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

Bye, bye #Disney.

Who else is cancelling their #Disney subscription this week?

Jesus Christ. This is real. A gift to the city of Washington from the crypto boys.

@karenattiah.bsky.social Alright now, quite a shout out

Last monarch butterfly of the season. Twenty-two survived, two had incomplete wings but flew around our yard for a few days (we hope happily), and one died leaving the chrysalis. One caterpillar had a heart attack. It’s been a good season & a bright light for us both. #bloomwhereyouareplanted

Monarez: "Kennedy demanded 2 things of me that were were inconsistent w/ my oath of office. He directed me to commit in advance to approving every ACIP recommendation regardless of the scientific evidence. He also directed me to dismiss career officials responsible for vaccine policy without cause"

@washingtonpost.com just fired one of its best writers and editors and continues its downward slide to irrelevant mediocrity. Fuck Bozo Bezos.

Just take a moment. The whole thing is a scam. They are terrible at governing. Terrible. And all the noise is to distract from their fundamental incompetence in governance.

BREAKING: Justice Gregory Carro has dismissed the first degree murder charge against Luigi Mangione in his state case, finding the DA put legally insufficient evidence before the grand jury. More TK.

Sheldon Whitehouse wants to know whether: 1) FBI didn't learn that Fox considered Jeanine Pirro was a reckless maniac. 2) FBI didn't tell Trump or the committee. 3) Trump hired her anyway.

Every man you know has moved up a notch on the handsome ranking today. Iconic actor, filmmaker, and humanitarian Robert #Redford passed away at 89. What a legacy. Like his friend, Paul Newman, I feel he was a great man. #RIP

Oh you don’t say

Exxon predicts global gas demand will increase 20% by 2050, and correspondingly aims to increase gas production. This is not ok ❌ We must #EndFossilFuels to limit the worst impacts of the climate crisis. It's time to #DrawTheLine against #FossilFuel expansion ✍️__ https://tinyurl.com/y7ezv8z9

American soybean farmers don’t have a single order from China as they head into harvest season. China usually buys 25% of the entire crop. Crisis looms for the farmers and there’s only one man responsible.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “We can mourn Charlie Kirk. We can send prayers to his friends and family,” writes our columnist Jamelle Bouie. “We can — and should — do all of this and more without pretending he was something, as a public figure, that he was not.”

This is as huge a scandal & blunder as this chaotic Administration has seen. The person who should be called to answer for it is Secy Kristi Noem. When a woman who loves the camera as much as Noem is nowhere to be seen for 10 days it’s b/c she’s hiding out. Media should be all over this.

So lucky to live in such a beautiful place where nature can help to heal my wounds. Clam Harbour Beach. The water had to be close to 80F/26C. #novascotia #beach

A lovely dark female who needs to rest awhile before setting off. So we encouraged her to crawl on to this columbine flower to drink sweet nectar and gather her strength. She’s somewhere around number 20, and our first this week. #monarchbutterflies #monarch #nature #beauty

This story feels like it’s going to have huge repercussions

Vladimir Putin has sure ramped up his attacks on #Ukraine and his threats towards other NATO nations since Shit-For-Brains in Washington invited him to Alaska. #Finland #Poland #Romania #Trump

So many people are turning Charlie #Kirk into the Patron Saint of Free Speech. Nope. His decade-old Professor Watchlist AND Teacher Watchlist, which made it easy for folks to hound and threaten professors and teachers who supposedly promote #WOKE ideology in class, paints a much different picture.

#DEMOCRATS: I salute you! Framing #Trump by placing a forged birthday card with explicit and revolting insinuations AND Trump’s signature in a 50th birthday book for given to Trump’s acknowledged best friend in 2003 is EVIL GENIUS. You’re clearly playing ten-dimensional chess. #epstein

Hey @mtsw.bsky.social, any ideas why the @nytimes.com published this article on A16 of today's paper? 🤔

all these men deserve to be keelhauled. keelhauled all the way to the antipodes

The New Yorker asked me “how bad” today’s Supreme Court ruling was. I boiled it down to one paragraph: link.newyorker.com/view/5bda429...

Under Elderly President Biden, US manufacturing added 500,000 jobs. Senile President Trump has lost 42,000 manufacturing jobs already, with more to come. Unemployment is up, job growth is nonexistent, and inflation is at 3.1%. So much winning in the Trump kakistocracy!

I’m fine with Prime Minister #Carney delaying the EV mandate while we sort out the Trump mess. But I voted for him to create good policy for big problems like #climatechange. Why not cut the HST on EVs to 5% and build a cross-country charging network? Why not reward people for not polluting?

One of the great heroes of my life has passed. Ken Dryden was hockey’s greatest goalie, a compassionate humanitarian, a progressive politician, and an accomplished author. I had the pleasure of interviewing him in the 1990s, and he exceeded my lofty expectations. I will miss him. Godspeed #RIP

So awful. A move that will kill and maim countless children, including babies too small to be vaccinated who depend on the herd. Also will make it increasingly dangerous to travel to Florida www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/u...

A Place of Ghosts, produced by Jason Levangie and his partners at Shut Up & Colour Pictures, will open at the Atlantic International Film Festival and Toronto International Film Festival this month. You really should go! #aiff #tiff

Today’s handsome discovery. The two scent glands (small circles) on the wings mark it as a male. We’ve managed to bring about 15 of these beauties into the world this year, and #have another 10 in chrysalis. #monarchbutterfly #monarchbutterflies #nature #beauty #bloomwhereyouareplanted #novascotia
