This was @randyrainbow.bsky.social's take on the last government shutdown. Still hilarious 😀 share.google/1JxNQuFgSiZM...

The biggest story no one is talking about: #HomeInsurance #Climate Jerome Powell said there are regions of the US where you won't be able to get a mortgage (as climate change advances). @alexsteffen.bsky.social says this will upend the financial system. Listen to his podcast series *When We Are*.

And when will Canada wake up to the fact that we have a Fascist neighbour and there will be refugees from it! #Refugees @acyn.bsky.social

⚡️🍁 Nova Scotians could soon be plugging into clean electricity from a new wind project developed in partnership with 13 Mi’kmaq First Nations. #nspoli #energytransition

🇨🇦💰🔌 "The next federal budget should provide clarity that zero-interest loans will be available for years to come, so that businesses can invest in staff and equipment stock and households can plan,” says Clean Energy Canada's @janaelbrecht.bsky.social. #cdnpoli #energytransition #climateaction

🇨🇦🔌💰 "There are great EVs for sale today, and they are fairly priced relative to their fossil fuel equivalents, but the economy category doesn’t even exist in Canada," finds a recent Clean Energy Canada analysis. #cdnpoli

A federal judge has ruled that the Trump administration's targeting of pro-Palestinian students for deportation is an illegal suppression of free speech. Attorney Alex Abdo from @knightcolumbia.org, who argued the case, calls it a "historic decision."

America is the next Argentina.

Trump tells rare meeting of top military officers that the US faces a "war from within" and suggested American cities be used as "training grounds" for troops u.afp.com/SWHJ

Meet GI Joke! Sauced and loaded!

The US government shut down at midnight. I imagine Drrrumpf doesn't give a shit if it ever reopens. He despises public services. BUT I'm wondering about all those ICE agents and National Guard troops he's sending into Democratic-led cities - how will they get paid?!

GIFT: More on the moronic meeting. There are some who spoke anonymously in this article. Colbert played some choice clips tonight if you wanted to check that out too. www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

Republicans have officially shut down the government. My office will remain open to serve my constituents.

It's midnight in D.C., and the government has officially shut down.   Why? Because Republicans don't even want to TALK about how to stop your premiums from doubling.   This is a REPUBLICAN SHUTDOWN. Make sure everyone knows it.

🚨 THE TRUMP SHUTDOWN HAS OFFICIALLY BEGUN

🚨BREAKING: U.S. government shuts down as Trump and Congress fail to reach a funding deal www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

This is a significant development. The military is leaking against Hegseth and the Trump administration.

I still can't believe we let this drunken rapist piece of shit lead the military.

HE'S CALLING AMERICAN CITIES "TRAINING GROUNDS" for the military!

An unprecedented violation of our civic and Constitutional traditions. Calling every military leader in the world back to the U.S. to hear a wildly inappropriate partisan campaign speech followed by a fascist call to use the military against Americans.

JD Vance, your tweet is nothing but a disgusting lie. Undocumented immigrants do not get federal healthcare you’re deliberately deceiving people. This kind of gutter-level fearmongering proves you have no solutions, only hate. Stop insulting the public’s intelligence with your shameless dishonesty.

From LA to Chicago, the feds continue their horrid practice of aiming high and directly at press. When these agencies get to uncritically claim that videotaping is violence, this is the outcome: reporters getting hit in the face with “less lethals.” Unconscionable.

I guess we're not even pretending that they were drug dealers any more? Now we're just bragging about showing our strength by killing a boatload of innocent fishermen.

An unintended consequence of legalizing marijuana in 🇨🇦 was that *research into medicinal uses of cannabis petered out*. I never knew that! With an aging population we need to increase the research again.

I'm getting strong Mussolini on Jan. 3 1925 vibes. The dictator speech, to be exact: www.history.com/this-day-in-...

Trump to top military officials: "I told Pete, we should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military. National Guard, but our military. Because we're going into Chicago very soon. That's a big city with an incompetent governor. Stupid governor."

This is a drum I bang all the time. I struggle as much as any parent with my kids' screen time and worry about how much is too much, but I also have the luxury of living in a place where it's easy for them to get outside, go to a park, or meet up with friends IRL.

This book cover was not intended for #TruthandReconciliation but I find it evocative
