Renewables have taken over. They’re more economically viable not to mention they don’t destroy the planet. Canada (and the world) doesn’t need more natural gas. #CdnPoli #CanPoli youtube.com/watch?v=Lt6H...

I’ve never seen an American elected official fight so hard to starve people.

Congratulations to all the progressive democrats who won yesterday. Maybe there still is hope for America. #USApoli #USpoli

This is an actual quote from White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt to HuffPost reporter S.V. Dáte.

Exactly. No one builds a quarter of a billion dollar ballroom who doesn’t plan to use it. #Dictator #Trump

Frogs in slowly heating water is a popular allegory for being unaware that you are being destroyed in an incrementally worsening situation. But I'm drawing hope from the past week that we frogs may be a bit more aware of our situation than those allegorical frogs. #Hop

This was a comment to one of my posts on Threads: "Trump is not giving Argentina $40 billion. He's buying a private foreign army to attack us with."

Literally

Good news: fossil fuels have plateaued and solar is growing by leaps and bounds worldwide apnews.com/article/clim...

20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke the information that the administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act is the report that Stephen Miller is driving the issue.

“Inappropriate” is what you call a child who is speaking too loudly. Marine Land is literally holding a gun to the heads of thirty animals and saying they’ll kill them if thy don’t get a government handout by tomorrow. Save the whales! #Marineland #ONpoli #CdnPoli globalnews.ca/news/1146661...

You know what was weird last week? I didn’t see anyone fired for quoting words actually spoken by Jane Goodall.

Supreme Court rejects Ghislaine Maxwell’s appeal — now release the Epstein files. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/u...

As a Canadian this is accurate. #USA #fascism #trump #worldpolitics

Donald Trump shut down the government because he doesn't want you to have healthcare. But this isn’t just on him. Democrats MUST use their leverage to protect our rights, but it can’t end there. Schumer and Jeffries can’t just go on TV or write letters, they need clear demands. We need action now.

Again, Trump uses "Radical Left" for anybody to the left of Stephen Miller so when he issues executive orders around declaring the "Radical Left" to be "terrorists" we should not pretend he isn't targeting all political opposition, no matter how many times you throw trans people under the bus.

Sadly, the world lost a great climate activist, conservationist and primatologist Jane Goodall. She was 91.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

the lesson here is that after January 6th there should have been a massive hunt for right wing domestic terrorism and their funders imprisoned and stripped of power. So if we manage to get through and overcome this; there cannot be “return to normalcy” without consequences being paid for this

If our Constitutional Right to Free Speech is lost, it’s over… “You can call that free speech or not,” Trump said. “He was fired for lack of talent.” Chairman of FCC had warned ABC of serious consequences, telling network “we can do this the easy or the hard way.” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/18/b...

Facts:

A lot has been said about Charlie Kirk. Political violence and assassinations are never the answer. Condolences to his two children. As for Kirk himself? Now he’s one of the good fascists. #Trump #USpoli #fascism

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory? Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

Pay the lady, while you’re at it, release Epstein files… A federal appeals court upheld an $83.3 million jury award against Trump for defaming writer E. Jean Carroll. Court rejected Trump’s argument that SCOTUS decision last year affording presidential immunity. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/08/n...

what a humiliating way for don jr. to find out his dad sends birthday cards.

"For so many years, it felt like Epstein's criminal behavior was an open secret." “We’re not going away. We’re not staying quiet. We’re not going to give up.” Annie Farmer (Epstein survivor)

The president is using the military to dismantle cities that didn't vote for him The president is using the military to distract from women speaking out against his and Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuses. We are not living in ordinary times. Extraordinary responses are called for.

We can only hope something actionable and some accountability can come out of this. I don’t want to be pessimistic but we’ll see what actually happens. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

It’s so infuriating. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Poilievre could not possibly care less about public safety, and his newfound appreciation for U.S.-style castle doctrine is a transparent ploy to appeal to the baser instincts of violent people who fantasize about murder. In Canada you can *already* respond with reasonable force to repel intruders.

Mother Earth is watching. Don't be complicit.

This week, a federal judge ruled that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service broke the law when it decided not to protect gray wolves in the Northern Rocky Mountains under the federal Endangered Species Act. www.humaneworld.org/en/blog/laws...

It’s my birthday and I’m in one of those mechanic waiting rooms waiting for work on my vehicle to complete. They have some inoffensively boring music from about 20+ years ago playing over an intercom. Same stuff we listened to in high school! I feel old. 🧓

The cover up is happening in plain sight. Where are those QAnon folks these days? We now actually have a government that is led by a sex trafficker’s pal, and trying to help convicted sex traffickers.

Like now.

Trump 2.0 has shown us that “status quo” neoliberal policies haven’t been working. There’s no “going back.” If Democrats want America’s trust back, they’re going to have to get serious on universal healthcare and start taking action on real material conditions affecting the average person. #USpoli

It’s great that we’re building a maintenance yard, but why not construction? Let’s be real, military investment on scales Canada is looking at only makes sense when it’s kept in Canada as much as possible. 🧵1/2 #CdnPoli #MIC #CanPoli www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

This is what autocrats say and do. Some threats he intends to carry out, others are just meant to intimidate to produce a change in behavior caused by fear. Every day we move closer to autocracy. Who will be fearless & fight, who will ignore it and hide, & who will bend the knee?

Israel has succesfully ticked every single box of article II of the Genocide Convention. Here's how.... x.com/NizMhani/sta...

There’s a history lesson in here somewhere… #USpoli #fascism

Who would’ve thought Americans wouldn’t want to live in a military state? Oh that’s right, all Americans. Another negative impact of the military crackdown in DC small businesses are struggling to make sales. Restaurant reservations have dropped by nearly 30% compared with last year, and some owners

Jeffries: "There is no good aspect of slavery, and so Donald Trump is once again behaving like a racial arsonist."

Dems should swap out Hakeem Jeffries with Jasmine Crockett. They need that kind of fire.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but an economy controlled by a handful of oligarchs isn't a "free market."

Questions that should have been asked today: 1. Why is an American president taking election advice from a Russian dictator? 2. Why are you so focused on preventing Americans from voting? 3. You’ve been President for seven months and Putin has doubled strikes. When does this become your war?

Jim Crow 2025

This is authoritarian. Full stop. #USpoli
