You cannot do a kindness too soon, because you never know how soon it will be too late. --Emerson ⏱ #ShareGreatNotHate

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

Keep on it, Peter. www.facebook.com/share/v/18LH...

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones. Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968) Is that bad?

Get your colonoscopies, folks. People are getting colon cancer earlier these days, and they have lowered the age for your first colonoscopy from 50 to 45 years old...unless you have a family history...then start at age 40. Ask your doctor...Just do it!

Lutnick last year on his visit to Epstein's house in 2005: "My wife and I decided that I will never be in the room with that disgusting person ever again." (Lutnick testified under oath today that he visited Epstein's island in 2012.)

Bruised ribs, a concussion & a torn rotator cuff. This US citizen was brutalized by ICE for no reason other than driving while being a minority. It's happening all over the country daily! Will you or someone you love be next? Call Congress & demand they ABOLISH ICE! 202-224-3121 #ICELawlessness

Looks pretty this morning as we start digging out!

No one's going to read this on here, but it needs to be said.

BREAKING: San Francisco Giants star Jung Hoo Lee has been detained by CBP at LAX. Pelosi's office says she is working to secure his release. www.sfchronicle.com/sports/giant...

How is Fox News covering this?

I think a good strategy for your non-leftist social media presence (ie everywhere but here) is to give this photo - the remains of Danish soldiers returning in coffins after being killed in America's war in Afghanistan - as wide an audience as possible. Remind people who we're betraying

You don't have to be a fan of either Clinton to read this letter and agree with much of what they say.

We as a city (and province and country) need to do better. These are people, just like the rest of us except they have less than we do. Encampments are not the answer - housing is. But until then ..? Be the Canada that we think we are and show some empathy.

An essential read.

A must-read message from Colin and Sophie Hortman, Mark and Melissa's children:

Trump literally almost falling asleep - standing up - during this mission briefing...

Good morning from Canada, a country whose border Trump has called an “imaginary” “artificial line” established by an illegitimate treaty. I’d like to be spared your nuanced “Were Trump voter’s racist with fascist inclinations or just low information voters with fascist inclinations?” debate today.

Do we assume that everyone will now boycott this summer's world Cup?

I’m thinking this morning about all the people I spoke to last year who were absolutely convinced, and tried to convince me, that Trump would be antiwar compared to Biden and Harris. In the past week alone he has attacked Nigeria and then Venezuela and also threatened to attack Iran (again).

I've only just come across this but, oh my, I love it so much.

Good thread.

Matthew Knies!! (again)

Matthew Knies!

How can anyone associated with him think this is acceptable or allowable? At least one other person MUST have access to his account. And they let this post stand. What. The. Fuck

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

Days after Donald Trump fell asleep during a televised Cabinet meeting, the president on Thursday again dozed off during a ceremony to mark the signing of a peace agreement between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Trump continued to doze after the leaders spoke. trib.al/6tBYEcg

This seems a reasonable take to me - does it ring true to UK-based folk...? youtu.be/rUCw66ApMko?...

Yep

Fabulous, interesting and inspiring event. If you want deeper insight into issues affecting us locally, nationally and internationally look out for the next event hosted by @westendphoenix.bsky.social and find a way to attend. You don't even need to be in Toronto's west end (I'm not).

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

Limited tickets remain for our town hall with @charlieangus104.bsky.social this Thursday at The Paradise! Our last event with Charlie was at beyond capacity, so don't miss out! www.westendphoenix.com/events/findi...

American leadership looks chaotic. The truth may be more sinister #Opinion from @justinling.ca

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.

The Speaker of the House shut the chamber down for two months to block the release of the Epstein Files and the president is huddled in the Situation Room of the White House to formulate a plan to keep them from being released, and I don't know why you crazy libs think there's some kind of cover up.

Trump sues Everybody!

The people yearn for (democratic) socialism (this one will make you cry)

On the nose, as usual.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

I'm canadian, so the White House, in itself, doesn't mean anything significant to me. But this piece makes it clear why ALL places like the White House matter. And why we must treat history and heritage with respect for what it represents. Some people just don't get that. And never will.
