Fox and MAGA have a deranged new "cause." Good and appropriately scalding fom @markjacob.bsky.social:

Why hasn’t Mark Carney responded to @naheednenshi.bsky.social or @heathermcpherson.bsky.social’s letter about protecting public healthcare in Alberta?

Jeffries is irritating...but and also him saying he's willing to impeach Trump is progress? he's been less open to it in the past.

Vietor on UFC Event: Does it communicate strength? I don’t know. I think it communicates a guy who’s just focused on all the wrong things. This just feels, I don’t know, kind of like this old-school gladiator shit.

nothing's stopping Ds from calling for ICE clawbacks to fund obamacare exchange subsidies and new housing construction. you could make it really simple.

would really like them to just say "yes", but it does sound like we're getting there. ethics reform would be nice, but won't address the actual problem, which isn't ethic but fascism. same with term limits.

Demonstrators denounce event promoting Israeli settlement land and property sales as a violation of international law.

Donald Trump turned 80 years old today. He falls asleep on national television every single week. Sleepy Donold is too old to be president.

He's not working, it's not the president's house, and you're celebrating the assisted suicide of a once great nation.

The new Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit means families will get up to $1,890 this year, helping with the cost of buying groceries and necessities for those who need it most. The first payment went out on Friday — giving a boost to more than 12 million Canadians.

Even if you have never advocated for anything in your life we are entering a period in which you have to learn how to.

It’s just insane to me how any police officer could support Trump. First he’s one of the most blatant criminals to ever exist. If you can’t see that you’re in the wrong field. Second he’s trying to reward people who assaulted police officers on Jan 6th.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia faced perhaps the most crazed vendetta ever waged by a president of the United States against a single individual. Now justice has been served. From NDLON: ndlon.org/kilmar-abreg...

Rolling into the weekend like:

Video shows an Israeli air strike hitting paramedics responding to an earlier attack in southern Lebanon. Two rescuers and a child were killed in Deir Qanoun al-Nahr. Lebanese media said the second strike targeted emergency crews as they treated casualties from the first attack.

Much like bribe for hire Pam Bondi, the orange felon’s personal trashy crook lawyer Todd Blanche belongs in jail for the rest of his useless existence, not in the Justice Dept. It’s hard to describe how disgusted and enraged I am about all of this insane shit.

"the R slur is coming back" not within slapping distance of me it's not

Oh really??

Trump’s endorsement of Ken Paxton may become one of the clearest signs yet that fear now drives Republican politics more than electability. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Elon's baby mama, Ashley St. Clair, says Elon knew the election results in 2024 hours before anyone else did, and he claimed this was because his satellites were scooping up data. www.rawstory.com/elon-musk-26...

Do you want to feel old? Gen Z is filming their moms and determining who the “cool moms” are by who knows all the words to Salt N’ Pepa’s “Shoop.”

He appointed a literal Nazi to Niagara and now is threatening to amalgamate. Robert Benzie asks, is this a public good?

They did it Beni.

This isn’t a good thing. It’s like selling your furniture and renting it back.

I chose UNC-Chapel Hill in large part because it had a top-rated history program with excellent faculty at an incredibly cheap price (even for an out of state student). That's the ROI

Do I need to report this gas pump to the FBI?

The powerful forces trying to dominate our country want us to fall into cynicism. That way, they win everything — and they'll be able to take it all without the rest of us putting up a fight. If you are worried about the future, you are not alone. I am too. But please do not fall into cynicism.
