Acquiescing to fascism is just being a fascist with extra steps. I haven't missed Disney+. I haven't missed Spotify. I haven't missed Paramount+. Do not cave, Netflix.

Canada's Minister of Industry, Mélanie Joly secures a new agreement with Germany.

And the way to do this is pushing for universal basic income and healthcare for the economic populism part, and pushing for public funding of elections for the disavowing Big Money part

If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money. They must hammer economic populism — and have a laser focus on the cost of living crisis in America. There’s no way the party can speak for or represent the working class in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

If for you're compelled to watch Trump's State of the Union, please watch it via a live streamer or YouTuber like David Packman > www.youtube.com/@thedavidpak..., so it doesn't count towards the ratings. I'll be boycotting, but here's a SotU bingo card for those of y'all who can't look away.

What a remarkable young woman.

I have spoken to two people now who have told me that only part of their FBI interviews are in the released files, and the parts of their interviews that are missing include mentions of Trump. 1/

BREAKING: We're suing the Memphis Police Department for refusing to comply with our public records request that would tell us whether misconduct continues to happen on their watch. The public deserves to know if the police are violating our constitutional rights.

I would love it if everyone ignored the State of the Union this year; including members of Congress. He's just going to babble unintelligible nonsense ad nauseam, while gasping through excessive amounts of drool. Why subject yourself to that? It could be the fatal ego wound we're all praying for.

Please consider boycotting the upcoming State of the Union address. Do not watch it. Do not tape it. Do not fall in to FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out - it’ll be on other news later!) Someone speaking that night LOVES his ratings. I’d love to see them the lowest we’ve even seen.

Platner is a massive risk but the Democratic establishment only has themselves to blame if the sitting governor of Maine loses a primary to an oyster farmer. Their colossal failures as a party is radicalizing mild-mannered liberals into voting for guys with Nazi tattoos over Generic Democrats.

Really hard to believe the BBC isn't purposely sewing division with this stunt. They made no effort to explain what was happening. What they left in is just as telling as what they edited out. I also find the timing curious, since this happened right after Andrew was taken in for questioning.

Watching now because holy f*ck, he's cookin' folks. He is cookin'! ✊💖 I'm so beyond sick of colonizers intentionally pitting us against each other.

If y'all don't want to see unhoused people in your neighbourhood, fucking house them. If y'all want to reduce crime, give people a viable alternative to escape systemic marginalization & access to the healthcare they need. It's UBI or bust, kids. ✊💖

I'm boycotting it, but I really hope this happens during his SotU tonight.

'Leftist ideals' benefit society, y'all. ✅ Universal public education ✅ Labor rights and protections ✅Social insurance and safety nets ✅Universal healthcare ✅Progressive taxation ✅Public infrastructure investment ✅Environmental protections ✅Anti-discrimination and civil rights protections

AKotSK has all the base elements to become another SPN for me; especially if it runs the 12–15 seasons envisioned. I’m a sucker for the oafish older brother/clever younger brother odd couple schtick and the nomadic structure, and stories that explore how no one's entirely good or evil are my fave.

Mark Ruffalo: "Tax the rich... They can handle it, trust me."

Even though he could go at any minute, I’m still not watching the State of the Union.

Boycott the State of the Union

Billie Eilish recently asked a room full of billionaires, “If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire?” One reason? Their wealth keeps growing, yet many of them are giving less to charity now than they have in years. Billionaire philanthropy is a sham. Watch. youtu.be/aNZ7mE82UJ0?...

Of all the knights present, none stepped up to be Dunk's seventh, so Baelor - who would have been a good and decent king - compelled to do the right thing, volunteered to fight with Dunk. He knew Dunk's cause was just. The gods punished the realm for their cowardice with Baelor's death.

Please help us spread the word far and wide — The Urban Truth Collective @urbantruth.bsky.social is now live! My colleagues @tomflood.bsky.social, @grantennis.bsky.social and I have worked hard to get it here, but this is just the beginning. Stay tuned for more from our launch all week! #UrbanTruth

For the love of all that is good in this world, please, PLEASE let this serve as a lesson for Democrats in upcoming primaries. Across the political spectrum, most people oppose genocide.

People don't want data centers polluting their cities. They don't want masked thugs terrorizing their neighbors. They don't want warehouses being turned into ICE prisons. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

What you are seeing in the thumbnail of this video is Quakertown, Pennsylvania's chief of police, Scott McElree putting a teen girl in a choke hold.

Jared Kushner is at diplomatic meetings. He's not elected. Not confirmed. Not accountable. WHO voted for him? The Senate didn't confirm him. So why is he in these meetings? FOREIGN POLICY IS NOT A FAMILY BUSINESS.

I would love it if everyone ignored the State of the Union this year; including members of Congress. He's just going to babble unintelligible nonsense ad nauseam, while gasping through excessive amounts of drool. Why subject yourself to that? It could be the fatal ego wound we're all praying for.

A country that has to put up special security fencing because its leader is about to give a speech on the state of the country says EVERYTHING about the actual state of that country. (📸 Jake Sherman)

Donald Trump was the president when this stand down order was issued…

If you haven't watched A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, I can't recommend it enough, to everyone. Doesn't matter what you're into, this is one of those rare shows that is so well written you don't have to be into its genre to enjoy it. IT'S SO GOOD!

So the president, who is a child r*pist and convicted felon, is dragging the US into another foreign war, and calling in to a talk shows pretending to be someone else (*again)?

If there's one thing that gives me hope, it's people implementing impactful solutions. David Hogg and his colleagues at Leaders We Deserve are doing just that. They assisted with Mamdani's campaign, and they're working to help similarly progressive candidates get elected across the US.

Your vote REALLY matters in primary elections. This is our moment to build a better Democratic Party. See our March voter guide here: leaderswedeserve.substack.com/p/leaders-we...

Our first opportunity to beat a big $$$, asleep-at-the-wheel incumbent is here. #NC04 has the chance to elect @nidaallam.bsky.social, an incredible progressive fighter, but she needs our help. Can you chip in a few bucks to help fund her newest TV ad? secure.actblue.com/donate/berni...

Not supporting trans rights is acquiescing to fascism, and acquiescing to fascism is just being a fascist with extra steps.

Not all moderates/centrists demonize progressives for criticizing Democrats, but I don't feel safe around the ones who do.

Just an amazing string of coincidences that the Republican Party has so many pedophiles, pedophile enablers and pedophile protectors in its ranks.

someone waited their ENTIRE LIFE to write that headline...

My toxic trait is thinking child marriage should be banned.

I'm not sure if conversations about this are being censored or if it's just a matter of no one's willing to open this can of worms, but this is going to be a problem in the very near future. Rape apologists are going to refer to the legality of child marriage in the US in defence of their depravity.

Hey @monteiro.bsky.social, thanks for the lapel pin. Definitely been getting some double takes.

Expecting people who've been/are being harmed by certain Democrats to vote for those very Democrats is the height of privilege. Demonizing people for not voting against their own interests is a losing strategy.

Better late than never.

This came out during the 2015 federal election campaign. Trudeau's move to the left while Mulcair went right is what led the Liberals to a decisive majority that year, while the NDP haemorrhaged support. Democrats serious about wrestling the US from the jaws of fascism should take note. 1/3

A must read here for all Canadians, but especially Albertans via @emmettmacfarlane.com emmettmacfarlane.substack.com/p/danielle-s...

The Royal Tenenbaums is a tender but profound exploration of love in all its forms. The longing for it. The need of it. Allowing space for it even if it pains you. Messy, persistent, imperfect, deeply human love. 💖 This film is truly one of my all time faves.

Billionaires shouldn't exist. Our history proves, time and time again, that extreme concentration of wealth and power harms humanity; yet society continues treating wealth as if it's morality, power as if it's divinely given, and billionaires as deities to be worshiped. We have been bamboozled.
