Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

"It is true that many voters do see immigrants as the source of all economic woes, but they are wrong and it matters that they are wrong." This is about the UK but it could equally be about Canada or, obviously, the USA.

Imagine talking about any other public service this way. Does the government keep public hospitals “afloat”? What about when it gave Marine Atlantic $169 million to support its operations in 24/25? The media does the bidding of those who want to private Canada Post when they adopt this framing.

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”

When the UK voted for Brexit, I thought it was the most stupid self-inflicted harm a country could do to itself. If they vote in Reform and Farage, it will be worse.

What appalling priorities do you have to have when you COMPLAIN that teen pregnancies have gone down by 81%? Repugnant.

Some folk do not care for nuance. Or even basic facts.

I’m not sure it has broken through to the general public that the president is a megalomaniac crazy person. Hopefully posts like this help.

It's basically worthless negotiating with the USA right now. Nothing they agree to can be trusted.

Irony alert...

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Great thread on total distinction.

My great friend Kevin recently retired from a varied and fascinating career. It has been such an interesting journey, one of Toronto's newspapers wrote a column about him... torontosun.com/sports/hocke...

You know that you are a human. To mark World Poetry Day, Sir Stephen Fry recited a beautiful poem by famous Ukrainian poet and journalist, Vasyl Symonenko. Thank you, Stephen, for promoting our culture. You are a gentleman and a scholar, as well as a true friend of Ukraine. 💙💛

In case anyone missed this...

Arsonist claims credit for calling 911 days later....

@stefwilliams25.bsky.social Haven't seen any posts from you for a while. Is all ok? Absolutely none of my business but it seems wrong not to check in on someone whose posts indicate that you're a good person.

Pierre Poilievre will not rest until he has secured the support of all 75 Maxime Bernier voters.

Crazy crazy story. Times of Israel reporter ( English language Israeli news site ) gets escalating death threats to change story that’s at center of big polymarket bet. www.timesofisrael.com/gamblers-try...

Wait, now...I heard that Trump didn't need the UK because the war was already won... Trump calls on UK to send warships to keep strait of Hormuz open www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

An interesting moment of history and, as one of the replies says, an unofficial Canadian Heritage Moment.

It rocks that America is so insecure now that they’ll give you the Medal of Freedom for winning a hockey game against Canada

This speech isn't going to end until the weekend, is it?

Once again, one of my favourite accounts. This is just brilliant.

Are the bronze medalists missing??

Why are folks not asking more questions about this FBI complaint in the Epstein Files? www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

A retired British primary school administrator with a British passport and a valid visa was shackled, chained and detained for six weeks by ICE www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Honestly, this is one of my favourite accounts on here. Constantly amazes and makes me smile. Hard recommend as a follow.

But this week, a whole two years later...suddenly too much immigration is the cause of all the woes in Alberta. Pick a lane, FFS.

Canada made that MUCH tougher than was expected and had the chances to win it. Damn.

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.
