The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?

The more white wing media at the Times and the Post try to gaslight people about what Kirk stood for, the more social media accounts, and new media journalists will continue posting receipts.

😂

Snoop's ignorance reminds me of this dynamite passage from Bill Russell's book "Second Wind." He wrote this in 1979 and it still applies today: People use children to express their bigotry and narrow-mindedness.

Once again, the Cons didn’t gain seats in Ontario. The alt-right, MAGA Maple, anti-science Reform Party won seats. Roman Baber. Matt Strauss. Andrew Lawton. This is deeply disturbing. #Cdnpoli

I’d celebrate if I weren’t so concerned about who will replace him. www.npr.org/2025/04/21/n...

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative. A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

When you cover Rebel News will you mention they’re a registered political advertiser promoting Pierre Poilievre’s interests @jenstden.bsky.social? They have filed papers with Elections Canada.

So I read Carney's platform. 🧵 Leans progressive with commitments to public health care, pharmacare, dental care, mental health funding, and universal childcare. Defends reproductive rights, boosts youth supports, & promises green and Indigenous-led infrastructure investments.

Loves plastics (♥️O&G) Media's bad, female media's even worse Accuses others of exactly what he does Craves power not public service Decades-old ideas Promises utopia not practical solutions Ukraine's not worth supporting Frightened by pronouns Sloganeering Delusions of grandeur Endorsed by Elon Musk

Danielle Smith skips out on Corrupt Care questions, skedaddles off to Japan and Korea. Plus, Devin Dreeshen has his knickers in a twist about bike lanes! albertapolitics.ca/2025/04/dani...

We can have a nice long debate about the extent to which it’s good that social media has democratized information flows, but I miss the days when cranks were mostly restricted to fringe physical newsletters and wearing sandwich boards on street corners.

Laryssa Waler is going to need a long shower to cleanse herself of the stench from the rubbish she shoveled on today's Power and Politics. Lying or misleading for a living isn't something one should aspire to. #abpoli #cdnpoli

And Here We Are, America…..

Where I stand. #cdnpoli #canpoli

We're going to learn that Rubio has had extensive high level negotiations with Nigerian princes via facebook messenger.

The Muslim community rejected Kamala Harris due to the war in Gaza. The arrest of Mahmoud Khalil is one of the consequences of their choice. He was targeted by an adminstration that despise Muslims, but y'all didn't listen. He won't be the only one. We fukn told you. *sip*☕️

"Mark Carney has his top secret security clearance and divested everything already... when will Pierre Poilievre? That is the ONLY question media should be asking him!" Why isn't Poilievre getting same media scrutiny? #CanadaStrong #cndpoli 🇨🇦 #CanadaSky 🔗 youtu.be/vsjhDjaQn6g?si…

If his own party doesn't have confidence in his ability to handle being unscripted, why should Canadian voters have any confidence in Poilievre? #cdnpoli #abpoli #CPC ##cdnmedia

GlobalCalgary needs to stop platforming the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. It's a biased organization funded by dark money.

& this is why ppl like @rachelgilmore.bsky.social & @steveboots.bsky.social & others need more support. As CDNs, we're often overwhelmed by US media. The only way to have our voices heard is by supporting media that is 1) Canadian 2) progressive & honest in nature. #cdnpoli

CBC political panels have their own version of Scott Jennings in Fred DeLorey. #cdnpoli #abpoli

What's going on with Pierre Poilievre's face? #cdnpoli #abpoli

1. Short everything 2. Announce tariffs 3. Close out short positions 4. Buy the dip 5. Call off the tariffs 6. Sell the spike 7. Repeat Is there any reason to believe Trump's entire inner circle isn't doing this?

I'm borrowing from T.S. Elliot: This is the way the U.S. ends. This is the way the U.S. ends. This is the way the U.S. ends. Not with a bang but a whimper. #cdnpoli #uspoli #abpoli #GOP #Trump

There is a cult that's bigger than MAGA, driving Republican politics and right-wing populism around the world. Trump is in it for the money and his freedom, but others are religious nuts coopting politics for various reasons. #uspoli #cdnpoli #abpoli www.netflix.com/us/title/800...

It's time for the media to stop platforming members of the Trump Administration and its surrogates. They're bad-faith actors. #uspoli #cdnpoli #abpoli #Ukraine

As much as we might relish watching this shit show unfold in the US, this is a dire situation. Canadians need to smarten up and start helping those who don't support this regime. I'm not telling you what you should do, but keep this in mind at ALL TIMES. North America's future is at stake. #CDNPoli

I shared this note with the owner of the Washington Post this morning.

It's nice to watch a leadership debate where none of the candidates are 🦇💩 crazy. #cdnpoli #abpoli #cdnmedia #LPC #CPC

Incestuous is the best description of what's happening.

#abpoli my sky-high cost of living can confirm this

In keeping with the spirit of renaming things outside of actually processes that exist for such things, I signed an Executive Order🙄 renaming what was once called the United States of America. It is now to be known as Russian Overseas Territory (RoT). #cdnpoli #abpoli #Trump #MAGA #Ukraine #GOP

The face language isn't good.

LaGrange and Smith both look very uncomfortable when the other one is speaking. Smith looks unusually stressed. #abpoli #cdnpoli

CBC News, Ian Brodie is a "Former Harper Chief of Staff" and Conservative Party of Canada stalwart. It would be nice if you actually made it more clear to your viewers that he's not just a Ucalgary professor. #cdnpoli #abpoli #cbc

Dear @safety.bsky.app, Please remove gifs from your app that have our Canadian Flag superimposed with 51st State. It is discourteous to your very proud Canadian users. Best regards, 🇨🇦

They not like us. #cdnpoli #abpoli

So I read all of Mentzelopoulos's lawsuit. A 🧵

Between RFK, Tulsi Gabbard, and Pete Hegseth, the American political establishment has made itself an existential threat to all the citizens of the world. We are in danger. Serious danger. #cdnpoli
