Budget 2025 is investing in new healthcare infrastructure — because Canadians need hospitals, emergency rooms, urgent care centres, and medical schools that they can rely on.

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.

A recent 5-star review for Bib & Tucker by @dabble58.bsky.social on Amazon: "DA Brown, a nurse herself, clearly spent a great deal of time researching the comparatively gruesome techniques applied to mental patients in the 1940s-50s." #booksky somewhatgrumpypress.com/bib-tucker/

It’s spotty season again… I remember the many Octobers/Novembers of my kids' youth. It was a race I played with myself - if I could get them to Christmas without an infection requiring antibiotics, we were sitting pretty. The rest of the winter would be fine, usually. But it was rarely to be. My…

i just read something about grief from C.S. Lewis and his book, “A Grief Observed” basically, when someone you love dies, it isn’t just them that you miss, but the parts of yourself that person brought out of you that can never be brought out again. i feel that with my dad.

And then think of what a cornered psychopathic human being with the morals and instincts of a rat and control of over five thousand nuclear warheads would do.

Such a stupid plan.

“Parents who, after consulting with a doctor and a psychologist, allow their 15-year-old child to transition commit child abuse. The child is too young to consent!” --Megyn R. Kelly “Grown men who have sex with your 15-year-old? Big whoop! It’s not like she’s 8. LOL!” --Also Megyn R. Kelly

Eighty-one-year-old Alabama Governor Kay Ivey, who stopped maturing as a human being in 1957 expects the rest of the country to be like her - eager to erase the work of Martin Luther King and all other courageous individuals who risked their lives fighting racism. Fuck Kay Ivey. Not our America.

"A citizens group in Ontario, California is spearheading an effort to make the community aware of incidents involving federal immigration agents. They're placing signs at the locations that read, 'ICE stole someone here'..." abc7.com/post/ontario...

Well done.

The Honduran-born Charlotte resident filed a police report after the officers let him go. Racial profiling, no warrant, no due process; but what else can one expect from a regime committing extrajudicial murder on the high seas? Trump's gotta go.

How about instead of selling "bearista" cups, Starbucks bargains a fair contract with its unionized baristas? No contract. No coffee. Don't cross the picket line. Solidarity with @sbworkersunited.org ✊

Excellent reporting by Greg and @thenyt.bsky.social It appears impossible to justify bombing the Venezuelan boats Not only is the legal basis tenuous (we all know how well the “I was just following orders” defense goes) The evidence that people in the boats are engaged in crimes is shaky as well

Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract. Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.

Trump drops tariffs on beef, coffee, tropical fruit as pressure builds on consumer prices

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare. Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

BREAKING: Twenty-four survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s crimes have issued an emotional and urgent appeal to the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, demanding that Congress vote to release the long-awaited Epstein files. meidasnews.com/news/survivo...

Priorities.

This Waitrose ad is better than the majority of movies I've seen this year. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sOy...

Fact-check: true 😕

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

As more and more files come out, Ghislaine Maxwell has less and less leverage for a pardon or commutation. Things are really going to start heating up.

MAGA men are now saying the quiet part out loud: they want to repeal the 19th Amendment and strip women of their right to vote. Todd Beeton examines this ugly trend. Also, Jay Kuo unpacks the real failure underlying Senate Democrats' deal to reopen the government.

Two new 5-star reviews for Bib & Tucker by @dabble58.bsky.social: "very well-written and engaging" "great Canadian historical fiction" "very well researched" "Ruth is a character to relate to and cheer for." eBook and paperback available www.librarything.com/work/3496232... #booksky #bookreviews

For heaven’s sake. Why should this murderous lad be a speaker to the Republicans? Egad.

Black soldiers/vets not only confronted racism at home and in the army, they continued to after they returned. I've always taught the story of Isaac Woodard Jr, when I teach disability histories, it is a necessary counter to the myths White racists like to tell allofusdha.org/research/was...

The finale of the great TV comedy show Blackadder goes Forth. Back then I didn't expect one of the funniest programmes ever to end with a scene that makes me cry every time I see it. Every single time.

DeLauro: The president went to the supreme court to deprive kids of food. Unbelievable. And now wants to deny their parents healthcare.

NEW via CNN: “The United Kingdom is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal”

Remembering Photo by Vlad Vasnetsov on Pexels.com I never come around to Remembrance Day without thinking of my ex and the many many cold and rainy parades he has attended. And of course, also the many peacekeeping and other deployments he and others I know have experienced. Military service is…

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

Pardoning your co-conspirators to own the libs! Most of their charges are state charges, so this doesn’t actually help them. It’s gross, but it doesn’t really move the needle.

#ICYMI Kingston Community Health Centres, in partnership with Robert Hogan Bus Lines, are calling on the community to help keep local children warm this #winter with the 'Fill a Bus Boot Drive' on Friday, Nov. 14, 2025. #YGK Details here: www.kingstonist.com/news/kchc-ho...

Any Democrat who "trusts" notoriously deceitful Republicans to keep their word on an ACA vote deal is too naive/stupid to be in office. Let's fix that next time they are up for election. #PrimaryTheIdiots

Trump and Hegseth booed mercilessly for 2 minutes straight tonight by Washington Commanders fans.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Barf. Of course he can only pardon federal crimes…

BREAKING: BERNIE SANDERS: “If this resolution passes tonight, we are on our way to throwing 15 million Americans off of Medicaid and the affordable care act.”

Read every word & share with everyone you know. This is real life here in Chicago. Americans need to know this grotesque reality & stand with us.
