Most disturbing thing for me was seeing kids die or get super sick only to recover and then have their family member who they likely infected die.

Common-sense things that most Canadians want and hope Carney will help happen: 1) Decent housing for all 2) Decent jobs for those willing to work hard 3) More doctors and better medical care 4) Repeat offenders in jail, not immediately back on the street 5) Respect for all types of people

There’s a lot that will need to be unpacked, but one thing is perfectly clear - Donald Trump’s withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal made the world less safe.

Despicable. Trump’s goons are roughing up and handcuffing @padilla.senate.gov as he tries to ask a simple question. This is what dictatorship looks like. Watch:

My fellow Canadians, we dodged a bullet by electing a Liberal government. Temu Trump would have been a bloody disaster. I don't even recognize America anymore. Democracy is on its last legs. I pray for my southern neighbours who didn't vote for that asshole. abcnews.go.com/US/live-upda...

Israel aggressively bombing Iran—unlike two incidents of strikes in 2024, which followed Iranian missiles launches against Israel—is in part another consequence of a weak, chaotic US president. Worth noting that this didn't happen under Biden, Obama, or Bush, despite Israel talking about it a lot.

Because Black people know that there is no such thing as “identification” or “identifying yourself”. They aren’t saying Padilla didn’t identify himself as a U.S. Senator. They are saying that there is only one acceptable identity — credential — being white and, in these times, being pro-Trump.

The oppression of the entire Latino community of Los Angeles right now is difficult to convey. Normally vibrant local retail areas of East LA and SELA look like ghost towns this week. People are afraid to leave their homes. Parents afraid to go to work. It's US citizens too. Anyone with brown skin

Padilla didn’t shout or rush the stage. He identified himself as a U.S. Senator. And still he was handcuffed & dragged out like a threat. That’s not order. That’s a warning. In the early 1930s, Germany called it “maintaining stability.” Elected officials were arrested, silenced, erased. #Resist

If the feds’ objective is to “liberate” Los Angeles and California from its democratically elected leadership, then this not a peacekeeping mission but a program of invasion.

Donald Trump is using brave American soldiers as props in his political performance. It's unconstitutional, it's immoral, and it's putting innocent lives at risk. This isn’t leadership. It’s a dangerous abuse of power.

It is actually nuts that even when the NYC political establishment was presented with a broad field of talented candidates w/ many ideas, in a time of generational change & anti-corruption, they STILL chose to line up behind scandal-ridden Andrew Cuomo. It’s cowardice.

The most inspiring chapters in our nation's history came when Americans faced down some of our country's darkest demons. Those moments, like our own, were difficult to live through but also brought the chance to bring out the best in us, with enduring consequences.

🥴 On russia day, Secretary Rubio praised the russian people and called for constructive engagement with the russian federation. All while Ukraine buries its dead. Because nothing screams “peace” like shaking hands with the arsonist while the house is still on fire.

@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."

One of the best days of the pandemic was when I stopped having to walk by the refrigerated trucks at the end of every shift. One of the worst memories of the pandemic was when I was trapped in the pharmacy because the there were so many bodies in the hall they blocked our only door.

Trump is making the US economy tank, and Newsom helped bring California's economy from 5th to 4th place globally. And Trump wants us to believe that Newsom is a terrible governor? Secede California. You don't deserve this.
