wtf

While study after study backs this up, Vancouver is so neanderthal when it comes to car dominance that we can't even have a bike lane on Commercial Drive. www.forbes.com/sites/carlto...

A wonderful idea, which i'm sure will be shot down by the city's far-right government. I mean, housing is nothing but an investment. There are winners and losers, and if you lose, it's out on the street for you. So our well-financed cops can sweep you up.

Why do we feel that we have to be polite when it is truly this clear-cut? "Because the makers of AI...want to build a genie to grant them wishes, and their wish is that nobody ever has to make art again. They want to create a new kind of mind, so they can force it into mindless servitude."

I know people are closely following what's going on the US and the horrors of ICE, but do you know how Canada is quickly and quietly is growing its deportation machinery? Canada plans to increase deportations by 25 percent over the next two years. 25 PERCENT!!! Here are 5 other things to know:

These 20 House Democrats just joined Republicans in voting to fully repeal DC's police reform laws. Wiping off the books critical laws on use of force, transparency, and preventing violent cops from getting rehired. They think that they should have more say over DC police than the people of DC.

Even if Dem senators want to stay "friends" with colleagues, whydafuck do they do this, when it's been clearly demonstrated those colleagues would kill them on sight if Trump so ordered?

Know anybody with kids or grandkids in diapers? Come join the fun and speak out against stupidity.

Trump is dropping the tariff on bone saws.

Trump: The House Should Force Me to Release the Epstein Files That AG Bondi Will Say She Can’t Release Even if the Senate Joins the House & Even if I Don’t Veto Congress’s Demand Because She’s Re-Investigating Dems as I Ordered Her To Do & Releasing the Files Would Compromise Those Investigations!

Alternately: "The woke mob took over. Otherwise New York would be great again."

It just takes a minute to email ABC's City Councillors. Ask them to reject their backroom handlers, show some courage, and oppose Ken Sim's Cuts. Also there's an election next year. Now's a great time to join the Coalition of Progressive Electors. www.copevancouver.ca/join #vanpoli

If CBSA refuses to explain why it thought a *95 YEAR OLD* retired Princeton law professor and UN special rapporteur might be a threat to national security, Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree should

Umm technically he’s called Netanyahu’s Monster

Here an underage girl testifies that Epstein vaginally and anally raped her before beating her in fury because Trump had taken her virginity before he could.

the endless warm drizzle of spring—the ice of Antarctica, falling softly on the heads of the children of those responsible for melting it.

So sad to hear that Alice Wong has died. Her work has informed my understanding of disability and disability advocacy for as long as I can remember, and we just listened to her on this episode of Radiolab a few weeks ago: www.wnycstudios.org/story/voice/

CAP's Project 2029 is a hysterically terrible relaunch of the worst of neoliberalism, and i guess a little pedophilia never hurt nobody, right? prospect.org/2025/11/14/e...

The default move for any Democrat trying to establish their credibility: shit on the party.

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

I've enjoyed Dee Dee Bridgewater for decades, but never knew about her strong convictions and warrior spirit. www.theguardian.com/music/2025/n...

This is insane, but step back. The idea of An Insurance Industry taking out a big healthy chunk of every medical $ spent, whether thru the ACA, employers, etc. is even more insane. How many centuries til the US (if it exists) does what the rest of the world does & guarantee it to all?

Gobsmacked to hear someone saying that if we're also eager to slam Summers and Clinton, we're doing the work of Trump. To paraphrase Lindsay Graham, "I guess i'm in the non-child rape wing of the party."

They crossed the land bridge from Russia to Alaska, duh. Who said they could do that?

Word.

BREAKING: In AAUP et al v. Trump (wall-to-wall union lawsuit challenging the administration’s unlawful use of TItle VI to reshape the University of California system), the faculty and staff of the UC system WON!!! We were granted our preliminary injunction! @aaup.org

HALF OUR GRANT GOES BACK TO THE CITY IN POLICE COSTS — Vancouver Folk Festival

The planned City of Vancouver budget in a nutshell.

Here’s a photo of @seanorr.bsky.social live-skeeting yesterday. I think this was before he went blind and his thumbs seized up #vanpoli

Posted by an artist friend....

"So, in order to be transparent, we're gonna present a budget that is essentially a black box."

Imagine reading these Epstein emails and still believing the USA is a meritocracy?

Anyone who cares about Vancouver, whether you share Sean’s politics or not, should read through his multiple threads of citizens’ statements; folks range widely in age and income bracket but not in sentiment. ABC passing this budget will alienate the entire city.

😎

Yup. All it's going to do is to help all of us who can't stand him, feel even more vindicated than we felt previously. His fans will continue to defend him.

More cuts to healthcare. But don't worry Liberals are telling me the provinces can just jack up their taxes to cover the shortfall. It's the 90s all over again. Not like Carney didn't just cut a whole bunch taxes for the wealthy or anything. #cndpoli www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/edit...

Shocking that Carney is doing this. Shocking, I say.

Right. Press, pundits, congress, can go nuts. But it won't dent one iota of his support. His fans already know he's corrupt, a serial adulterer, etc., all the things they claim to disfavour. Similar to centrist Dems' claim that "knowing who's taking away healthcare" will change minds. Won't happen.

Shitshow! Only way to dethrone ABC fascists is for progressive parties to unite in a slate. Looks like OneCity will go its own way, meaning competing against the other two parties, and we have more Ken Sim. I knocked doors for both Lucy and Sean this spring. So much for OneCity, which can fuck off.

"...she would be the city’s most vocally progressive mayor since Mike McGinn was elected in 2009, having run her campaign on taxing corporations and spending aggressively to scale up temporary housing for the homeless." Congratulations, Seattle! @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social

I'm signed up. There's still time for you to sign up as well.

Wow, a Long Island jury awarded $112 Million to 674 immigrants who were unlawfully held by county police so they could be handed over to ICE

Incredibly short-sighted and irresponsible, and completely disconnected from the real values & priorities of Vancouverites. This move would be awful not only for Vancouver, but also for all the cities that Vancouver’s leadership has inspired over decades of North American sustainability leadership.

I've respected but not adored HCR up to now, but this puke-fest makes me question my respect for her.

My positive impression is that since his senior Green councilor Adriane Carr (who was very much a centrist) left, Pete Fry is finding his footing as a progressive and could be a leader, even a mayor, depending how things shake out in what i hope is a COPE/Green/OneCity slate, unified to beat ABC.
