Yesterday, three American Muslim men were murdered at a San Diego mosque by two young men who came armed with stolen weapons, anti-Islamic writings, and hate. A security guard named Amin Abdullah, father of 8, gave his life so that others could live. This was terrorism. Let's Address This.

We need a ban on stock trading by the President and Members of Congress. It’s bullshit that elected officials are getting rich off the backs of the American people while having access to insider information.

Pleasantly surprised by this Chuck Schumer quote on Trump's new $1.8 billion slush fund: "Trump pardoned violent insurrectionists who assaulted your Capitol to overturn your votes and now he wants to give them your hard-earned tax dollars as a reward."

We don't have to live or die like this. Text READY to 644-33 to join the millions of people in America demanding our lawmaker take action to end gun violence.

Today’s reward for sunny cycling and practicing celebrates living above the library. The Replacements DON’T YOU KNOW WHO I THINK I WAS: THE BEST OF THE REPLACEMENTS A band worthy of the legend that surrounds them.

There are right-wing commentators who like to portray the judiciary as 'interfering' in provincial 'sovereignty' because the feds appoint superior and appellate courts. But it's worth reminding everyone: judges on Alberta's Court of King's Bench and the Alberta Court of Appeal are ALBERTANS.

The reason Danielle Smith doesn't like judges isn't because they're a bunch of Laurentian elites, it's because she hates the rule of law.

Worth a read. This is insane. Trump sues his own government and negotiates a settlement with people he appointed and ends up with a $1.7 billion slush fund to dole out to whoever he wants. Wildly illegal, unconstitutional, and stupid in every possible way. America is so cooked.

To settle his suit with the IRS, Trump reportedly wants to create a $1.7 BILLION slush fund of taxpayer dollars that he can dole out to any of his loyalists who claim the Biden administration targeted them. He would oversee the fund’s commission. The corruption is breathtaking

A dating event for anti-vaxxers in Denver was cancelled when word of the mixer started spreading as fast as an easily-prevented but highly-communicable disease youtu.be/PRVmJnPtc4E

Yeah, it’s our fault tweeter veered right 🤦‍♀️

This basically kills 301,000-signature petition separatists delivered to Elections AB to force referendum on independence. Premier Smith could still call referendum as gov't act, like separatist groups want her to. But lack of Indigenous consultation would still be problem. bsky.app/profile/mark...

He is robbing us blind and Republicans are too chicken shit to stop him. It's past time for them to be more afraid of We the People than that pile of shit and his complicit administration.

Today’s reward for overcast, wickedly windy cycling is a great score from yesterday’s crate digging at Ditch Records @markolsonmusic.bsky.social & The Original Harmony Ridge Creekdippers MY OWN JO ELLEN I suspect this will show up @ckcufm.bsky.social Roots & Rhythms in 2028.

It’s Monday morning. It can only mean one thing.

“I guess I’m just stuck here with no choice but to hear three Life Flights a week fly over my palatial home and yacht dock forever,” said McDickerson as he helplessly looked across Lake Washington at Kirkland, Medina, Hunt’s Point, Bellevue and Mercer Island.

I often say that the fight for democracy is the fight of our generation. But let me be clear, if you aren’t fighting for Black voting rights right now then you aren’t really fighting for democracy.

If we actually want to appreciate moms, we should be providing free childcare, healthcare, and guaranteed income for stay-at-home parents to put more money in families’ pockets and ensure no SAHP is reliant on a partner for their economic security. Idk I think that’s better than 15% off a vacuum.

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

Burning your census documents? How brave! Reality: Good example of how amorphous rage & grievance drives much of this end of the political spectrum. A performative and irrational tantrum. If they believe in democracy, accountability, and having their voices heard, you kind of need a census!

For years, Hungary's Viktor Orban gerrymandered his opposition out of power. But in the end, all the dirty tricks in the world couldn't save him from sinking approval ratings and massive voter turnout. There's a lesson here for us.
