Doug Ford is making speeches in Toronto about how much his government is doing to help northwestern ON with the wildfires. The ON website provided updated info about the northeast at 7:30 this morning, and again at 8:00 p.m. In the meantime, no update about the northwest since 6:47 p.m. yesterday.

A group of TO civil society leaders (in a sea of people who aren't saying a peep) have created TO Reality Check to oppose the Island Airport expansion. Give them some time + share where you can. They've made it easy to send a letter to Liberal MPs who could stop all this today. torealitycheck.ca

“Caught between two unacceptable choices, Trump — and by association the US — is in limbo. Trapped, neither in nor out while the military continues to run through operations that have been proven not to work, watching as the weapons stockpile dwindles to nothing, the financial costs spiral…”

Deaths in ICE custody are at their highest level in over a decade — and have more than doubled since Trump’s second term began. Some of Trump's biggest supporters are private prison corporations that have received huge government contracts to run detention centers. Cashing in on cruelty.

Epstein survivors released this video today urging senators to block the confirmation of Todd Blanche for Attorney General. They’re trying to get to 20,000 signatures on their petition to send a message to the Senate. ujoin.co/campaigns/45...

I've been waiting for PM Carney to explain his energy plan; I'm glad he did.

Basic income lets people take risks leading to better careers and futures.

Years of painstaking research and writing co-opted by another. @rachelcleves.bsky.social and her extraordinary book deserve much better. Please read and repost. Let's extend the visibility of and endorse the many-faceted impact of her 2014 biography, "Charity and Sylvia."

As the flu outbreak at an Air Force base grows (after they had rescinded their flu shot requirement), the military services are now once again requiring flu shots, which is a reminder that though it is difficult to admit the error of your ways, it is not impossible.

A group of former National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration employees who had been fired by Elon Musk's DOGE have launched a new climate science website documenting global climate change. ⚠️ Please follow & share -

IMPORTANT to know that the vast majority of Haitians with TPS entered the country legally at ports of entry, not illegally. The majority have NEVER violated the law. The admin stripped their status by breaking the law, but today SCOTUS says courts can't do anything about that.

“Over half are not wearing helmets, 59% are riding over the speed limit of 25 km/h, so we want people to be aware of the inherent risks of riding e-scooters,” said Dr Babul, director of the BC Injury Research and Prevention Unit at BC Children’s Hospital. www.ctvnews.ca/health/artic...

There may be hope for us yet! open.substack.com/pub/matterso...

The 500 richest people on the globe added $336 billion to their fortunes on Monday, bringing their collective net worth to a record $13.3 trillion. Read that back. Our problem isn’t an issue of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding wealth inequality.

It wouldn’t exactly be a panacea, but I wish every news story about Musk’s tech plays also identified him as a white supremacist. We need to stop treating it as a side hobby that can be set aside while focusing on his entrepreneurialism, wealth, etc.

THIS is why I love Toronto! (this and a hundred other reasons, but first and foremost, THIS!)

“Remember that all through history, there have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they seem invincible. But in the end, they always fall. Always.” Mahatma Gandhi

This is really, really bad. And it’s only going to get worse. amicacenter.org/press-releas...

Tesla & SpaceX have benefited from ~$40B in government subsidies. Tesla paid $0 in federal income taxes in 2025, despite $5.7B in income. SpaceX has paid little to nothing in taxes since it was founded. Now Elon is a trillionaire who has pumped over $300M into our elections. The vicious cycle.

It's important to me that they go to a good, loving home with caring people. So if you're interested, please drop a note below. If you can't adopt, please retweet and help me find them a home. I don't want these cats to be stuck in a small cage or go to a shelter, where they may get put down.

Again and again, Russia kills the people and destroys the cultural sites it says it went to war to protect. These crimes will end when the US supplies missile defense to Ukraine and enforces sanctions on Russian energy. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

elon musk becoming a trillionaire the same day the DOJ approves the paramount/warner brothers merger is too much. only one sign of the apocalypse per day, thanks.

Elon Musk spent $290 million getting Trump elected. During this midterm cycle, he's spent $85 million. In total, that’s 0.0375% of his $1 trillion net worth. Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so. We must get Big Money out of politics.

When you see the story about how the world now has its first trillionaire, and when you see the story about how laboratories in Congo have run out of supplies to test for Ebola, it is important to understand that in many ways these are the same story.

This raid is an alarming & desperate move by GOP. Only 1 reason this administration’s FBI would attempt to intimidate & suppress OH voters. What a full-frontal attack on the millions of Ohioans who are ready to reject efforts to inflict additional harm on them. www.statenews.org/government-p...

Todd Blanche cannot be Attorney General. The Senate must oppose his nomination. If you’re with me on this, please contact your senator’s office and tell them to vote NO on confirming Blanche. The Senate switchboard is (202) 224-3121.

Remember, if our solutions for homelessness don’t start with more housing, we don’t really want to solve homelessness. And if you think building public/social housing costs too much, it costs much more public money to leave people unhoused. #UrbanTruth

"No civilian should ever be bombed!"

According to a new study “Air pollution slows lung growth during childhood,” which is further proof that for the sake of the future, clean air needs to be the future.

What can realistically be done and what needs to be done immediately to decrease the deaths and suffering in #Ukraine? ◾️Massive transfer of air defense systems and missiles, long-range weapons to Ukraine and strengthening Ukrainian air defense/aviation.

The US is now spending more on construction for data centers than public transportation infrastructure. Data centers contribute to higher electricity costs and air pollution —all while enriching a handful of Big Tech CEOs. Is it any wonder communities are organizing to stop them?

Please read this thread. How I wish aerosol scientists like Barry Hunt were taken seriously by "Public Health" officials! Having a medical degree does not make one an expert in physics and engineering.

These outbreaks will continue until it breaks through to all of us that we are responsible for one another.

THIS IS URGENT.

There is a report from inside that a detainee has been beaten into unconsciousness. PLEASE CALL YOUR REPS.

There is a report that guards have “broken a boy’s face.” Calls are coming from detainees inside to family members reporting ongoing attacks on detainees by guards. PLEASE AMPLIFY.

This is great!

Lately when I look at the news I can’t shake the feeling that the Four Horsemen are racing each other to our finish line, and lately when I look at the news I can’t shake the feeling that too many people are betting on the horses.
