Now we learn the billionaire owner of a bridge that will compete w/the new Canada-MI bridge met with Lutnick right before Trump issued his threat to shut down the new bridge. The Trump admin is a lawless mafia gangster extortion racket existing to enrich oligarchs at our expense.

Sometimes I remember Reagan removing Jimmy Carter’s solar panels and I think we’ve been enduring this shit for way too many years.

Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."

JANE FONDA: “I know Don Lemon. My husband created CNN. And I will fight for their right to speak… they arrested the wrong Don. This is how autocrats act. We can’t fall for it.”

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

KRUGMAN: “.. How did a great, sophisticated nation, one of the world’s longest-standing republics, end up so fragile that it can be undone by one man’s dementia?” @pkrugman.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Partisan conservatives hate it when you point out that virtually all Canadian Trumpers/51st staters vote conservative. Instead of channelling their rage at those who point it out, why aren’t they the ones speaking out about it? PSA: Shooting the messenger is very Trumpish.

Tylenol just became my favourite go-to pain medication.

MEIDAS CANADA. COMING SOON. 🇨🇦

Why won't any of the sports teams honoring Charlie Kirk play some clips of him? Please show us what you are celebrating. Don't be shy about it. Show us what made him so great. Play his greatest hits.

The only thing Charlie Kirk had in common with Jesus is that Christians get mad when you quote him to them.

And just like that, the people who were called bleeding hearts, snowflakes, betas, and soyboys eating avocado toast have become a dangerous group of bloodthirsty murderous villains. Who knew it would be this easy to make those Alpha Males shit their pants.

This you? Just two hours later?

Gasoline salesman worries about all the people he sold matches to. #cdnpoli

When you write a piece noting that a guy promoted racism and violence, his followers immediately prove you right

It’s alarming to realize that there are Canadians who think more guns in the hands of civilians are needed. They think of themselves as brave without recognizing that they are useful idiots for a multi-billion dollar industry whose sole purpose is to make huge profits off of human suffering.

Poilievre only needs to worry about his own whackjob base. As we have seen from the Republican on Republican violence in the USA.

This is how you protect your democracy. The US is a demonstration of what happens when you don't. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

When you realize the people you fired to avoid any investigation of your crimes are the same people you need to investigate other crimes…

They have their martyr now.

Thinking about the times Dems refused to do this. Wouldn't be sporting, or whatever they said at the time. Once again, whatever the GOP does is seen as the norm and acceptable, and anything Dems do is seen as a transgressive overreach.

If the shooter had killed a leftist podcaster, he would have a multi million dollar Go Fund Me to cover his legal fees tomorrow, and an interview lined up with Charlie Kirk.

So the press could’ve cared this much when Melissa Hartman, her husband AND THEIR DOG were murdered by a Trump supporter. They just chose not to.

We don't yet have any idea what the ideology of the Kirk shooter was. But we do know that the Denver school shooter was a far-right white supremacist. www.denverpost.com/2025/09/11/e...

I’m sure that Charlie Kirk will be as fondly remembered as Rush Limbaugh is.

Poland’s prime minister 👇🏽

If you don’t want to be called N*azis, don’t compare yourselves to N*azis. I don’t make the rules.

For those who are painfully susceptible to the right wing outrage machine: It is actually possible to oppose what happened to Charlie Kirk and also oppose much of what he stood for.

i’m not going to be lectured about political violence by people whose politics is violence

Lots of people have to die because Trump has always been a soft, weak, pampered, fragile coward his entire life who now has to try and prove to people he’s a tough guy.

It's also, of course, fundamentally bullshit. The average person with a Bachelor of ARTS - not just business or engineering university degrees, but a liberal arts degree - makes more money than someone who didn't go to university.

Anyone who thinks that Trump is going to sign a deal with Canada or make nice needs to wake up. If he is willing to treat his own people with such reckless violence he won't hesitate to go after us. Stay strong. Stay focused. Keep the boycott strong.

Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.

@nealkatyal.bsky.social: “You’ve got the president who's imposed the largest tax increase on American consumers since 1993 … and he did it without Congress saying one word. That is not our constitutional structure.”

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Mike Johnson makes clear that when Congress returns next week he's going to work tirelessly to cover up the Epstein files

Edmonton Public Schools has decided that Margaret Atwood is too dangerous for youth to read. As is Brave New World. 1984 is banned by Grade 9s and younger. This is the MAGA machine of Danielle Smith in action. Perhaps a public book burning will reassure the base. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

These guys should be home with their families.

Over a quarter of all homes sold in the first three months of 2025 were bought by real estate investors. If we want to make housing affordable again, we must get Wall Street out of our homes. https://youtu.be/q9TOGxDJ0TE?feature=shared
