Sitting here in the 51st State /s Enjoying a really good Manhattan which is appropriate on a beautiful night like tonight….

This book is riveting and so, so infuriating. It follows 5 families in Atlanta who are struggling to remain housed and paints deeply compassionate portraits of each unit. It reads almost like a novel but is outstanding journalism

The proposed sale of public land & decimation of our national parks makes me sick. Our national parks are a treasure. It has been my goal to visit all the national parks in retirement. Now, I wonder if there will be National Parks, Public Monuments, & public lands to visit at all, anymore!

Who else nearly fell out of the seat when you heard Cosplay Kristi accuse Sen. Padilla of “political theater”?

To celebrate the republication of Alexander Baron’s post-war Hackney caper The Lowlife in Faber Editions, we look at some of the best London novels, with a focus on life on the fringes of society. faber.co.uk/journal/reading-list-21-novels-set-in-london/

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Happy Release day, Comet Gain! If you haven't already, make sure to check out the latest single & music video, «Do You Remember (The Lites on the Water)». Letters to Ordinary Outsiders is out now and available as LP (also with a limited edition of pink vinyl)/CD/digital.

This guy Will Bunch simply doesn’t miss. What a disgrace that we have allowed Donald Trump to literally destroy the planet in exchange for a bunch of oil execs to spend him out of prison.

An investigation by Canada's National Observer suggests that far more money — of unknown origin — went into promoting an Australian mining company's controversial Grassy Mountain project and the province's coal industry. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/06/03/n...

Yes, we noticed. You're still here.

Congress is considering opening up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska to oil drilling in their latest government funding bill. We can’t let this happen – demand that Congress rejects Arctic drilling in this bill. 👉 act.350.org/letter/may-2...

while I have the awful Jason Kenney on mute on the CBC coverage - we’re on edge hoping for a Carney win - worth bearing in mind that pre-Trump this was heading to an absolute landslide for PP - grateful to Trump at least for turning it unimaginably more positive than it was previously looking

BREAKING: New York State Attorney General Letitia James breaks her silence, responding to Trump's retaliation against her and hands him his ass. Letitia James is a fearless woman. Must-watch:

This is Senator Jim Banks from Indiana. No need to tell you he’s a Republican—it’s clear by the cruel disdain he shows his own constituent who was laid off. Note: he waits until the door’s about to close before telling him he deserved it & calling him a “clown.” He’s not just cruel—he’s a coward.

Bye bye Poilievre. It's time for you to go. #PierrePoilievreIsUnelectable

This will never blow over ! I think you know what you need to do, @schumer.senate.gov . You messed over my family, my son with cystic fibrosis and myself with stage 4 cancer. We are dependent on SSDI, Medicare and Medicaid. Did they pay you, scare you, what ? We don't have time for FEAR !

This is wonderful to read

Sad to see my football team Charlton Athletic - perfectly happy to accept stickers featuring far-right Trump worshiper Nigel Farage into the club museum - under the guise of “fan culture” - disgusting for a club that prides itself on its anti-racism stance @cafctrust.bsky.social @theguardian.com

They estimate this operation has cost the U.S. over $16M which is low because it doesn't count the photo op flights in and out by Kristi Noem and Pete Hegseth. They built 1600 tents that ICE can't use because they are inhumane. My latest. Subscribe for free! open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

People are changing the labels on Wayne G's wine: "a merlot that is sad and 2 faced" "as weak as the name-sakes moral fibre." There is a reason why Canadians dominate comedy - we are wickedly funny. And when push comes to shove we play for keeps (ie. Kharmalov's ankle). Sucks to be you Wayne.

Glad to see the Corrupt Governor of Alberta mingling with the worst of the worst south of the border

Just despicable

A lot of things Trump and Musk are doing can be undone, but this cannot be undone. People can be rehired, programs can be put back in place, but clearing of national forests, building on public lands simply cannot be undone. #resist

So proud of Trudeau

I stand with Ukraine #SlavaUkraine

I'm happy to donate a few bucks to send Vance on a fact finding mission to Ukraine ASAP....

Hey, I wrote a big big column on one of the greatest bands of all time: The Kinks. If you know them you love them. If you don't know them allow me to share some of the best songs ever written. uproxx.com/indie/the-ki...

More than 150,000 Canadians sign petition to revoke Musk’s citizenship

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

So Zelenskyy has to make a choice between his country being plundered by the Trump & his Oligarchs AND pillaged by the Putin & his Oligarchs… OR doesn’t come into it sadly

REPOST if you stand with AOC!

It’s unimaginable.

There must be an Oskar Schindler in the Trump Administration surely? Someone with an ounce of humanity?

Alberta’s government is as depraved as anything down south. Our Minister of Environment Todd Loewen travelled to Salt Lake City to attend the Western Hunting Expo to promote the minister’s special licences for cougars and other animals, including elk, mule deer, moose, pronghorn, and turkey.

What’s that? FauxNews, the state propaganda machine, televised Shitler being cheered by the audience but international news outlets released actual footage of the shitgibbon being booed? You don’t say…. 😏😏😉😉 (Pssst: you can tell it bothers them by the looks on NepoBarbie’s face..🤣😂😈).

This is huge!! We need to address the corruption. It's the worst Alberta has ever seen, which is saying a mouthful. 💔

Why at a time in Alberta when we could be building our renewable energy sector is our Pro-Trump Provincial Government obsessed with enabling Australians to rip coal from our mountains* & ship it to China? * our beautiful mountains being a huge tourism asset I love the smell of grift in the morning

Trudeau has been hounded by the very worst of the worst here in Canada - dumb but loud fascists with their Fuck Trudeau persona emblazoned on their compensating huge pick up trucks. I’m proud of the guy - he is worth a million Danielle Smiths. If this isn’t a wake up call for us - we are lost.

The extremist MAGA worshiping Alberta government surreptitiously lifted the coal ban taking our beautiful & iconic Rocky Mountains back to the 19th century with 😞 coal mining —even though most Albertans strongly oppose it. Take a moment to sign this petition if you can please saveourslopes.ca
