The Washington Post just laid off its entire award-winning photo team. They were our eyes in places we'll never see. It's a horrifying loss at a time when lying governments, propaganda and AI slop are on the rise.

#70sTop30 1 - Joni Mitchell - River No one does heartbreak like Joni. I haven’t seen many mentions of Joni in this challenge, which is odd because her run of LPs 68-77 is one of the best in the history of recorded music. Forever underrated and under-appreciated. www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8Mq...

It’s really difficult & disorienting but the feds hit LA extremely hard today. There were kidnappings all over & reported cluster raids in Chinatown, East LA, Ktown. This list shows to 1130 AM but they haven’t stopped all day Just because the media attention stopped doesn’t mean the abductions have

I have been feeling a lot of anger lately due to our political climate. Dolly made this video today for her 80th birthday to benefit pediatric cancer. We can’t lose hope. youtu.be/McaD2PG8jOE

Hey Ottawa, it's an election year! Let's ask for a portion of our tax dollars to be for participatory budgeting. We can do this.

We were treated like royalty at the sold out show at the old town hall in Alymer. We will be at Hotel Wolf Island February 28. Chelsea Motel, Quebec March 1. The new Grievous Angels album Revolution is now at the pressing plant.

When you build a world where kids can't walk anywhere to get candy this is a natural outcome. Very glad everyone is okay. This is very scary. 😬

Now that PP has weighed in, can we hear from our Prime Minister? @mark-carney.bsky.social

I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood. She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

I was nervous when I agreed to be interviewed for CBC’s Fifth Estate about safe supply, but they got the angle exactly right. Safe supply was never implemented properly because govts were scared to prescribe what people are actually addicted to. It was set up to fail. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XJ-...

This past week there was a photo from Trump's gala of a barely clad woman frolicking in a giant champagne glass. She looked like a teen. It made me think of Jane Doe-another young woman who attempted to shine a light on the darkness in Trumpland. My latest. charlieangus.substack.com/p/trumps-hea...

Exactly what we said would happen when the Ford govt forced the supervised consumption site at Somerset West Community Health Centre: more overdoses in public. Bad for people with addictions, a burden on city services and terrible for the vitality of Chinatown. www.ctvnews.ca/ottawa/artic...

I spoke many times with Catherine McKenna about the failure of the RCMP/Parliamentary Security to address rising levels of threat. Homes were outfitted with security cameras but little was done to track online threats. Good people gave up on serving the public. nationalnewswatch.com/2025/09/12/f...

there simply isn't enough coverage of the fact that, as a matter of ideology and public policy, trump and his administration think domestic violence is good
