Trudeau: "They're talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin- a lying, murderous, dictator. Make that make sense. Canadians are reasonable and we are polite. But we will not back down from a fight...Canada will be implementing 25% tariffs against $155b of American goods."

I'm with Trudeau, Sheinbaum and Zelensky. I support them doing what they need to do to push back on Trump's tariffs and terrible behavior to our former allies.

Rep. @reptedlieu.bsky.social didn’t hold back at today’s VoteVets event: “What the President of the United States did to you was shameful, un-American, and in some cases, flat-out illegal.” Veterans deserve better—and we’re fighting to make sure they get it.

Republicans have been advised to avoid in-person town halls after confrontations over layoffs go viral. Meaning those fucking cowards are ashamed to look their constituents in the eye after what they did. Don’t take no for an answer. If they refuse to talk to you go to them and demand answers...

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't need to justify your reading preferences and choices to anyone. Audiobooks count as reading. Also, you don't have to finish books you don't enjoy. Don't read to impress, read for yourself. Life's too short, love yourself, ok? Signed, a librarian.

Trump is telling us that he’s going to fire hundreds of thousands, deport tens of millions, kick tens of millions off their healthcare & cut hundreds of millions in social programs and Ma and Pa MAGA STILL believe all of this shit is going to help them in some fucking way. Narrator: it’s not.

I will never understand how a billionaire, the richest man on Earth, spent millions to buy an election for ANOTHER billionaire, and told us that his policies would cause all of us non-billionaires “temporary hardship...” ...and the public didn't tell BOTH OF THEM to fuck off.
