Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Sam Neil ran a sustainable farm where he raised rescue animals & planted native plants. He advocated for endangered species, fought against destructive mining projects & committed to farming without chemicals because "the future of the planet depends on our stewardship. RIP.

The overwhelming majority of Canadian media is owned by an American hedge fund. Chatham Asset Management. has ties to Trump and the GOP. a major reason why outlets such as the NatPost consistently say Canada is failing. They feed into the MAGA narrative because they are MAGA. Not Canadian.

You're looking at a 200 year-old wisteria vine at Byakugou-ji Temple in Tamba, Hyogo, Japan. The delicate pink/purple blossoms create an otherworldly place where magic can happen. But here's an interesting fact: wisteria are in the legume family (Fabaceae). This is a magic beanstalk.

Reading all the tributes to Sam Neill, & thinking just how lucky we were to have him in our midst. His IG stories sharing his animals were legendary. He perked us all up over the lockdowns with his mad globally-created home movies. Such a genuinely good bugger. Vale Sir Sam Neill. 🍷💔

A group of butterflies is called a kaleidoscope. I like that... The Monarch butterfly migration is one of the longest-known, multi-generational insect migrations on our planet. Every fourth generation lives 8 times longer than the previous generations and travels 10 times farther...

This makes it look like Alberta's UCP is trying to strip more women of the ability to vote before the next election. Women tend to vote in favour of the left more often, which is why women's votes in the US are meeting similar challenges. #AbPoli #CdnPoli #CanPoli

"Maybe McLuhan and Postman weren’t wrong in predicting that our society would become postliterate. They were merely early. The world that these theorists foresaw half a century ago is now here. ...Trump is our first postliterate president." www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

I remember writing a thread on NP’s z*vo going to Israel with the Exigent foundation - his piece went on the front page with no disclaimer re: funding, editorial process, he spoke to no Palestinians…but that’s fine, apparently bc there are no standards to speak of 🤷🏻‍♀️

No one believes the bullshit story ICE is peddling to try and justify his murder.

David Bautista: “I think every fucking man need to be louder about the rights of women.” I couldn’t agree more. Such a great guy.

Canada is excluding U.S. companies from bidding on a $4.9 billion contract for at least 1,600 new Army vehicles, limiting the competition to two Canadian firms...

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has announced that Mexico is taking legal action against the United States in regards to the cold blooded murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo by an ICE killer in Texas. They’ll pursue justice for the mistreatment of Mexican nationals. Good. 💙👊

The banner was hung from a bridge in Istanbul ahead of Donald Trump’s trip to Turkey this week. It reads: “Hide your children, Trump is coming!”
