I'm old enough to remember when Poilievre's camp said an unknown staffer put all those misogynistic tags in his social media content. These unknown staffers sure do do stuff.

Hell, the median American voter barely remembers that there was a whole full-fledged shooting war between Israel and Iran barely over six months ago

There’s no longer any reason we need to continue to pretend we are even remotely OK with ANY of this. Time to get ICE OUT and send Pete Hoekstra home, too @mark-carney.bsky.social #NAFTA #CUSMA #IceOut #cdnpoli bsky.app/profile/yash...

Arrêté à la frontière alors qu’il tentait de renouveler son visa, Camilo Castro, professeur de yoga français de 41 ans, a passé cinq mois détenu au Venezuela, accusé d’espionnage. Il raconte un enfermement marqué par la peur permanente, les humiliations nocturnes et la menace constante de la tort...

The rate of sepsis in Houston surged 63% after Texas banned abortion. In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where hospital leaders empowered doctors to intervene before patients’ conditions worsened, it rose 29%. (Published May 2025)

ICE OUT, NOW! 👎 @mark-carney.bsky.social #cdnpoli #BoycottUSA

Ew! 🦨 Shockingly poor ATLANTIC podcast this week, kissing Jeff Bezos ass for killing the Washington Post. I've never regretted a subscription so quickly —before the “free” ATLANTIC Tote Bag gets here.

Dear Evan Solomon: Other world leaders can do it. Why can't you?

The president will feel this.

We are deciding right now whether we want to be a country with ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.

I'm fortunate to have grown up with mandatory Swimming & French lessons in school #onpoli along with a broad introduction to the arts. It's disgraceful #OntEd how much of that curriculum of these life enhancing skills Doug Ford and his team have cut & killed. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

One of the world's best historians of ethnic cleansing, @timothysnyder.bsky.social, also happens to be from near Springfield, OH, which may be the site of the next big ICE attack. Here he reviews what got us here and revisits a "tricky city" targeted by fascism. snyder.substack.com/p/ethnic-cle...

Absolutely, and the loss of the ability to work from home doesn’t just keep women out of the workforce, it keeps women with children in terrible or even dangerous relationships.

I don't know what it is about idiots who buy newspapers without understanding why they exist or what their business is, but I think gutting books coverage is some kind of canary in the coalmine. These jackasses don't read books, so they assume no one else does either.

You can buy a bag of this store brand garbage at “Food Basics” for $1.49 Canadian ($1.09 US) and I still don't want to eat it

Can anyone point to a single Epstein message that is legitimately smart, insightful or even intellectually curious? No one was reading Jeffrey Epstein for the articles, is what I’m saying.

Anyone else reminded of that time, right after the murder of Heather Heyer in Charlottesville, when the @nytimes.com saw it as their journalistic duty — complete with a link to the site he bought his swastika armband — to blow smoke up a Nazi’s ass?

KATE PIERSON is my guest on the pod this week! Do not miss my chat with this living breathing goddess howwasyourweek.com

The main business model of Silicon Valley from Uber to AirBnB to Spotify is: skim profit off others' goods and labor. Often in ways that are exploitative of individuals or destructive of larger forces (as with Amazon and the retail that kept people heading out in public).

France continues to not fuck around with American technocracy. Sure would be nice or us Canadians could get on their page too. Between X and PostMedia, we’re letting the enemy in our front door, because they’re both controlled by the worst America has to offer. @wgreaves.bsky.social

She used to terrorize his wife, online. When she died, Cheryl deleted everything.

found a stack of these cleaning up my studio the other day. as ever!!!

This had to be the biggest sycophantic bullshit I’d seen for a while, which is saying something. Just fucking grow a vagina and LEGISLATE against what these fuckers are doing. How hard is that, you ask? Too fucking hard says the legislators. It might hurt their back something 😑😑😑

Very few people eat frogs, we have more refined taste. Here's your translation: More than ever, Paris is committed to facts and information accuracy.

Wait for Musk’s bleating about « denial of free speech » following the police raid on the X office in Paris. Other slavering camp followers such as Trump and Farage likely to follow suit.

Here we go again youtu.be/yNDUU4gHCuE?...

It’s not just the naked stuff. Ask Grok for an image of “a woman” doing just about anything and it’ll give you Epstein vibes

While their colleagues in France are busy being raided by Les Flics, X in Ireland (where their regulators are) is refusing to attend a parliamentary committee. So... they are not only above the law but above the law makers as well? www.irishexaminer.com/news/politic...

This story is totally bananas. Two teachers and a vice-principal fired, and another 8 teachers suspended without pay. I'm gifting this story because the more awareness of what is going on, the better. #GiftLink 🎁 www.thestar.com/news/gta/ins...

“…the teachers’ refusal to continue providing extracurricular activities…could be seen as unsanctioned workplace job action…” How? Extracurricular are optional. You can’t punish teachers for not running clubs or coaching outside of instructional hours. This whole thing stinks.

Caught in the disinformation crossfire between the Eagle and the Bear, France is seeing the rise of far too many Far Right candidates #TheScumAlsoRises Libé: “They are no longer "bad apples", they are a real herd!”

i think if you post like this without offering concrete steps people can take to prepare for and respond to interference or without any acknowledgement of the success (or lack thereof) of this strategy then you are basically engaged in voter suppression.
