Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari on why Speaker Mike Johnson kicked her out of his office...

Definitely seeing the US in the twilight zone. And twilight is fading into night. A dark, cold night

Today's hero for the people. Well done Yassamin!!

A good example for us in Canada that it can be done effectively

This man deserves to have his business flooded with paying customers, a way to support what he is doing

I’m fine with my tax dollars being used to feed hungry people.

Disability advocacy is not for the faint of heart. You lose friends. People get upset that you’re not hiding your illness . People expect things of you that you can’t give. There’s no grace when you get something wrong (which will happen). Everyone doing this is a warrior!

Don't forget — they're not just buying a ballroom. They're buying Trump's favor. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

Scope Ratings has officially downgraded the U.S. credit rating to AA-, citing “governance deterioration” and fiscal instability.

Trying to figure our what my last post will be before they make all this shit illegal

Things like this keep happening.

Huzzah! Thank you, #TheThinkingSpot, for being a great #LBS (Local Book Shop)! And thank YOU, @thewaroncars.bsky.social, for tackling this crazily important issue head-on! #LifeAfterCars

Epstein Survivor Lisa Phillips: Everyone makes it about Trump and Epstein, but it’s about this whole ring of men. That’s what makes me upset, because we know they were there. We saw them. We know there were royalty, princes, very powerful people in academia and tech, and we saw them at parties.

If there was any doubt about Hegseth’s immature and cruel display of wearing a tie in Russian flag colors — Putin sent him a big thank-you, which was also broadcast on Russian state media.

That's why I pay taxes, because I can't feed them directly myself

Here are the Top 5 Dogs of the week!

This is Tucker. He was offered a tortilla but told to take it gently, and no one has ever understood the assignment better. 13/10 (TT: tucker_thegentleman)

White people’s insistence that other white people—especially the ones exhibiting morally questionable behavior—deserve the benefit of the doubt is going to kill us all.

Given the amount of suffering people have from back injuries and related chronic issues, this is definitely needed.

And we need to start figuring out how we will survive and respond to this growing existential crisis

YES! I remember shopping at local food co-ops in the 1970s. We need to break the grocery oligopoly

Yes your taxes should support disabled people. They should support homeless people. They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly. This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

Dr. Jason Stanley says America is entering a dangerous period with Trump’s growing rhetoric against the so-called “radical left” and “domestic terrorists.” “A coup is happening,” and adds that what’s needed now is full-scale, nonviolent resistance. www.msnbc.com/ali-velshi/w...

My new favorite “church lady”😂😂😂

In other words: the MAGA cult. ======================

“Israeli Forces Kill 198 Palestinians in Gaza Over Three Days” It’s a genocide. Daily endless massacres, largely ignored in the West.

Dutch late night TV has its take

Living in Canada and watching the USA right now is sort of like being on the highway and seeing a massive accident right in front of you caused by a demented driver. The only thing you can do is steer around it to avoid being part of it and hope the poor innocents in the crash will be ok.

Perfect impersonation of every MAGA and Maple MAGA cult member out there. #cdnpoli

Epstein files disappearance = History repeating ================================== Two systems of justice. One for the rich and one for all others. ------------------

If you ever get a chance to go and see a powwow competition, it's truly beautiful. First Nations dancers and drummers from across Canada and the United States will be competing at this year's Calgary Stampede. youtu.be/HYJYxa6Cze4?...
