Trump is spending $1 billion a day waging war on Iran. Meanwhile... Trump's sons are investing in a drone company that could soon receive Pentagon contracts. And of course Trump's Big Oil donors stand to gain windfall profits as the price of oil skyrockets. War is a racket.

If we’re keeping score, the actual danger isn’t who ICE claims to protect us from, it’s the people enforcing their policies. The statistics speak for themselves. #sheshed

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion. Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits. This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

If you, your friends, or family want to make a difference, call Congress at 202-224-3121 or Google their district offices & leave messages to demand accountability. These calls absolutely make sure difference even with Republican lawmakers. They need to know that #ICELawlessness is unacceptable.

At yesterday's Cabinet Meeting. This human needs to read the Beatitudes. Jesus didn't want people to be hungry. She appears to delight in it.

Trump bought Boeing bonds while rewarding the company billions in federal contracts. He bought Intel bonds after directing the government to acquire a stake in the company. He bought Meta bonds while pushing AI-friendly policy. Trump isn’t governing — he’s cashing in.

Before the submission of a single plan, before the obtaining of a single permit, the TEMP EMPLOYEE in the Oval Office has destroyed and desecrated the White House to erect a gold crusted ballroom in his own honour. Are you okay with this?

Amen!

Pass this on. The White House is bending the truth. By a LOT.

The infection has arrived in Canada as well. The province of Alberta has just paused its book ban on any book with sexual content. May cooler, and more educated heads prevail in the days to come.

Keep dancing, Los Angeles!

Did you know this? Call your Senators!

Make a note…

This should be the beginning of rejection of testimony by federal agents not supported by overwhelming tangible evidence. Sad to say, but at this point unless I personally know/have worked with them (a dwindling number) I start from believing them to be either incompetent or perjuring themselves.

Knowing how the far right loved to demonize him tells me that the Pope was on the side of truth.

Dear People of Lithuania, Thank you from the depths of of our hearts for being present for honouring and blessing the four American soldiers who died among you. We will never forget them, We will never forget you.

Happy International Transgender Day of Visibility!

Resistance is NEVER futile.

This is the way.

Today, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau passes on the torch. His father, Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, would be proud.

I am struck by the DECENCY of this interaction…

Revolutionary words.

From @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social. "If you’re always consumed by the next outrage, you can’t look closely at the last one. The impression of Trump’s power remains; the fact that he keeps stepping on rakes is missed. The projection of strength obscures the reality of weakness. Don’t believe him."

Black History Month remembers Harriet Tubman, an international force of justice.

Let’s not “tow the line”. Let’s GET OUT OF LINE. Resist.

Trump has denied travel to all refugees, including those who have completed the grueling and lengthy process for approval, who have sponsors ready and waiting for them. Vile.

If only…

My hope for Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

A reliable reading recommendation.

Know this is happening and MAKE SOME NOISE!

On September 11th and the days following, Canadian communities from Newfound to Vancouver raced to the airports to gather in grounded travellers, mostly Americans, to provide housing, food, and compassion. I was there, matching families and finding appropriate accommodation. We will not forget.

If you celebrate….

Does this resonate with you?

I adore Malala.

Since the election, we have watched all eight seasons of WEEDS. Have you watched anything you could recommend?

Social Security is an ENTITLEMENT. That means you are ENTITLED to that payment. It doesn’t mean that you are acting entitled when you are not. It means that Social Security is YOUR MONEY.

“We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American Eagle in order to feather their own nests.” ~Franklin D. Roosevelt

A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, the health care we can access and, now, the information we receive. This is what oligarchy looks like.
