Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW). The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

This is good, from Hakeem Jeffries. More of this please, in every conceivable forum: "Sycophants who aid and abet the President’s vengeful schemes will not be able to hide from the serious legal consequences of their behavior. They will be held accountable."

👀A Rutgers professor who teaches an anti-fascism class was blocked from leaving the US hours > Trump’s “Antifa” roundtable w/ Jack Posobiec who has called Bray a “domestic terrorist professor.” TPUSA at Rutgers has called him an “antifa member,” a claim he denies. He’s received death threats. 1/

“Senior military leaders should have stepped in to prevent Trump from turning addresses at Fort Bragg and Norfolk into political rallies; the silence of the Army and Navy secretaries, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and some top generals and admirals is appalling…” www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Liberals and Conservatives have let corporate grocers rip off Canadians for far too long. Billions in profits for the Big 3 Grocers, while working-class people wonder how they’ll afford their next meal. No more waiting for the market to fix itself. Canada needs a public option for grocery stores.

Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack in Israel “plunged the region into a devastating war.” That’s how an Associated Press article opens – one that some of Canada’s largest news outlets published today. But Oct. 7 wasn’t the day this started. Today, with @cjjpmedia.bsky.social, I'm giving a history lesson:

Today I stood with @cupescfp.bsky.social and @canadianlabour.bsky.social leaders, flight attendants and other workers presenting my Bill C-247 to remove Section 107 from the Canada Labour Code.

Can we do this in ontario!

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing

This is a good statement so of course BlueSky hates it.

International audiences discovering Canadian Liberals for the first time:

A valuable reminder in these hard times.

Chicago journalists and protesters have sued the Trump administration, alleging "extreme brutality."

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..” @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This is great. The absurdity of this moment captured. Make it go viral.

This is a small detail that jumped out to me, because it reinforces the need to design infrastructure for the lowest common denominator, whether it's a child or someone using a mobility device. Infrastructure must work for everyone!

This study should be read by every policymaker and traffic engineer.

I posted this one week after the election in 2024. Holds up.

But it didn't bother those same people when they were too critical of Biden. When there was freedom of speech, relatively, the media went all out. When there's almost none, like right now, "let's not be overly critical of the admin. In fact, let's just capitulate." The press, bah!

They're at 230,000 signatures! If you live in Alberta and you want to sign the petition, follow the advise in the video! #forever-canada #abpoli

This is an ongoing theme with #PierrePoilievre. He covertly spreads MAGA propaganda (see next post/skeet) while pretending to be ‘tough’ on Trump. While at the same time, Poilievre apes Pete Hegseth and is followed by the worst Trump Nazis & Kremlin propagandists. #cdnpoli #CanadaSky #NeverPoilievre

This is exactly what the right wants— our silence. They want us afraid and to stop speaking up, to check out, to shut up about politics. We can’t give them that. Not now. Not ever.

Two 17 year old girls were brutally murdered in New Jersey when a truck ran them over going 70mph. 17 year old Vincent Battiloro is charged with first degree murder. The suspected motive? One of the girls declined his advances. He couldn’t handle hearing the word “no” 🧵

Texas sending its state military to other states against their will to occupy cities is an invasion. So let's call it what it is; what it would be called in any other scenario: A hostile, military, illegal invasion.

Doomers want you to believe we can’t win this but we will.
