Switzerland put solar panels in the unused space between train tracks. They are removeable, so you can still work on the tracks. And it's working!

It’s always ACAB with a certain sort until a man gets accused of rape and then it’s “why didn’t she file a police report.”

I do think we should stop using the term "unitary executive" in public discourse and simply call it what it is: dictatorship

There are plenty of Leftists in this country. They are just people of color so illegible to many white people.

Phone call with my close friend in Kyiv. Me: “I had such a Ukrainian day in Winnipeg yesterday!” Him: “You ate borshch, drank vodka, and got bombed?”

I haven’t even listened to this with audio on, but every woman understands that creepy, non-consensual touching. What an appalling demonstration of disrespect and misogyny.

I see Ann Widdecombe has died. When she was Home Secretary I showed her round Drake Hall womens’s prison. There was a pregnant woman on a bed in the early stages of Labour and she asked the prison officers why she wasn’t handcuffed to the bed. That’s the kind of woman she was.

“Why do WE have to get rid of our rapists but the Republicans don’t?” Setting aside all moral implications, it’s because around 70% (if not more) of Democratic volunteers are women and if they get totally disgusted with the party nobody is winning any elections anymore.

Oh my goodness. This is great news.

Alarming story that confirms my own reporting along similar lines: Dan Moraff, the political strategist who plucked Graham Platner out of obscurity to run for senate and barely vetted him, was barred from Rep. Summer Lee’s 2022 campaign after three complaints of sexual misconduct.

If they're such a good deal, Big Oil can pay for their own damn pipelines. Canadian taxpayers shouldn't foot the bill for white elephants while stepping on the climate-heating accelerator. My OpEd in the @winnipegfreepress.com #EndFossilFuels #PipelineBan www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/anal...

It's "innocent until proven guilty" when privileged people want to hold power, but "guilty until proven innocent" when marginalized people seek liberation.

Indigenous people make up 5% of the population but 75% of the people living on the street in Winnipeg. Poverty is the byproduct of colonial systems of oppression and genocide but is treated like a personal failure when many are born into it

“Creators deserve credit, compensation, and consent. If that's not on the table, the crawlers can stay the fuck off Patreon," CEO Jack Conte wrote on Thursday.

When Marc Miller intervened to silence Palestinian voices about their own experience of displacement, he joined a long list of Canadian politicians elites who feature, poorly, in the Canadian Museum For Human Rights. #cdnpoli

BREAKING NEWS: Small otter thinks it’s a cat, but nobody really minds and everyone has a great time.

Perhaps a premier or two can write a letter to the US asking them to keep their heat dome in their country

He’s talking about Platner, but also evergreen:

You’ve got to be fucking kidding me

Hey, fellas, before you write that white hot take about how rape is such a tricky thing and, I mean, who can really say what happened and, you know, maybe we should not be too judgmental, I'd like to remind you that instead you can simply shut the fuck up.

Groan. Clearly that was the problem. 🤦🏻‍♀️

My friend is dead. A driver, through neglect, recklessness or malice, has killed Louisa. I’m beside myself with grief and filled with righteous anger at a city that has stalled and slow-walked safety improvements for all road users. Louisa should be here with us.

With so very many many men utterly fucking failing to clock Platner as a piece of shit, and then desperately defending him, I am wondering if the metaphor of litmus test is understood anymore. A litmus test is literally the very most simple way of identifying whether something is acidic or basic.

We will miss his contributions. Also, I want to hear about Mary.

Mexico will request criminal charges over 17 Mexicans who died in ICE custody or during immigration enforcement operations by the Trump admin.

Earlier this week, the City of Winnipeg announced a potential $1.2 million cut to the Urban Forestry Department. This would be a substantial reduction in trees planted throughout the city. It's really concerning because later this weekend we're expecting highs of the Humidex into +45 C.

Ouch.

Manitobans should not be paying for pipelines.

Carney has been “flooding the zone” lately — so Canadians might have missed a seemingly minor but actually VERY significant shift he just announced. The PM has taken a step towards taming one of the last, if imperfect, sources of accountability for his government's agenda. Here's what he did:

It's kinda crazy how all world leaders seem to have just decided to give up on fighting the climate crisis and let the poor and middle class burn/drown/starve or whatever while they race to see who can make the most profit off that dystopia for the next decade or so

It’s not an accusation, it’s flatly correct that they didn’t include Jews in the map of immigrant neighborhoods. Of course, this is presumably because the vast majority of Jews in NYC are not immigrants.

This is what Kamloops looks like right now while the liberals are building more pipelines and data centers

Note to self

I don’t really have anything to add to the discourse that isn’t already being said but a lot of people I thought were shitty have proven it and we should be keeping tabs on who is being shitty so we don’t listen to them in the future.

ngl it's going to be so funny if the Plätnerdämmerung ends with Collins unceremoniously losing by 4 to some rando they pulled off the bench

the maine democratic candidate's replacement should be chosen in new england's oldest tradition, dating all the way back to 1677: every candidate is viciously caned then thrown as far into the ocean as a rowboat can still see land. first back to shore is declared free of witchery. err, the nominee

because after Hungary closed up shop, London is the epicenter of the International Right-Wing Money Crimes scene

I love this so much.

You guys don’t have to keep posting bad tweets from bad men. We left the bad place because we are no longer interested in reading their shitty opinions about women.

My goal with comics used to be to make people laugh. Now my goal is to infect people with the same unfocused rage I feel constantly.

I am glad she's not going to prison. It's worth noting that much was made here of her criminal actions being a brief deviation from an otherwise law-abiding life. But literally no one should go to jail or prison for obstructing ICE. I don't care how many times they've broken the law.

I honestly think certain people prefer posting on X because there’s a higher concentration of misogynists over there. It’s certainly not because the engagement is higher there anymore—it has completely plummeted for most people. I think they actually like and prefer the bigotry!

These white men aren't defending another white man. They are defending themselves.

funny how the cutting edge of the far right is just regurgitated slaveholder agitprop from 1850.

I consider the Food Professor to be my academic and political archenemy

American reporters watching this, shaking their heads in horror, no, no, you can’t ask this, no
