Is it just the ones who are inside someone’s womb? Asking for a friend. FFS.

Andrew Scheer was forced to resign as leader of the CPC, weeks after losing the federal election to Justin Trudeau. Since then, Scheer resisted calls from within his own party to step down. Revelations surfaced about his party paying for his children's schooling. vm.tiktok.com/ZMSMN37Cu/

Good morning — It has been 12 hours since investigators said this man was set up, and @MarshaBlackburn @KristiNoem @DHSgov all still have not deleted their tweets.

If you know anything about RFK Jr the fact that he falsified the MAHA report should not surprise you in the least.

Remember to get your news from reliable sources and if something looks doubtful then check another source. Beware of misinformation and lies. In the article - The news anchor looks professional, alert and slightly concerned. The video is 100 per cent fake. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Trump keeps whining that federal judges are abusing their authority. But to what end? They don’t get anything but grief and threats from standing up to Trump. They aren’t stopping him for their own benefit. They rule against him to keep us from tumbling into autocracy. They’re modern day heroes.

This is a helpful graphic from Civix Canada It might help in combating Smith's lies as she blames Ottawa for all her failings (Of which there are many) You'll notice health delivery and long term care fall under provincial jurisdiction #ableg #abpoli

PM Mark Carney 🇨🇦 taking a shot at Poilievre. 👍👍👍👍

18 months before a midterm election all the data tells him he and his party will lose, Donald Trump is moving as many FBI agents as he can away from roles in which they detect and stop Espionage and election interference by Russia and China—covert actions historically taken to help Trump politically

These men were building us homes. The violence is being committed by ICE — masked men, no ID, no warrants. Don’t believe the rhetoric being pushed by violent criminals about ‘violent criminals’ cause it’s all BS. Call your Reps and demand they hold hearings, sanctioned or not. This needs to stop.

In San Antonio today, plainclothes ICE officers (not masked this time) arrested, handcuffed, and zip-tied a family of five (yes, ALL of them, including the little children) coming out of their immigration court hearing — which ICE had just had dismissed. www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/a...

Holy shit. www.wired.com/story/cbp-dn...

This is true. And even if you think this ISN’T the particular problem your city has, it’s always a safe bet that adding more car lanes still won’t solve whatever you think your problem is.

ICE turned back in Somerville So many Somerville community members came out that ICE simply retreated. Nonviolent resistance works when communities come together to protect kids and families.

Philosophy professor Jason Stanley, along with historians Timothy Snyder and Marci Shore, have accepted positions at the University of Toronto’s Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy, beginning in the fall of 2025 .  Here ,they explain why.👇

It’s almost like it’s a personal grudge or something.

It’s only May, and already wildfires are ravaging Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan. When are we going to believe the climate crisis will take everything from us? 🔥

Just imagine investing this much money, time, energy, political will & space into smart walking, biking & transit infrastructure. There are maybe thousands of these. They not only induce a lot more driving, they make our cities think they can’t afford transport solutions that would ACTUALLY work.

WATCH: @repmoskowitz.bsky.social calls out the astounding nearly $1 BILLION (!!) for ICE employees in bonuses alone in the Republican budget. Masked anti-constitutional vigilantism pays well these days. 🇺🇸

Canada welcomes the U.S. Court of International Trade’s decision on the United States’ tariffs. It confirmed what we’ve always held: that the American tariffs against Canadian goods are unlawful and unjustified.

Wow. Avelo airlines has covered up their logo to hide the fact that they're helping with mass deportation. Avelo's customer service number is (346) 616-9500. Feel free to give them a call and tell them how you feel about them.

No kings, masters, overlords or any of that bullshit. Time to take the country back.

Another win!!! Now release him. A federal judge just ruled that the law used to detain Mr. Khalil is likely unconstitutional. Why? Because it’s too vague and was never meant to apply to someone like him a U.S. resident who never left the country.

This gets more ridiculous every day. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Breaking News: A judge said the government should release Kseniia Petrova, a Russian scientist employed by Harvard University, saying U.S. customs had “no factual or legal basis” for revoking her visa.

The top-ten richest Americans made $365 billion over the last 12 months. Oxfam finds it would take ten workers who earn the median wage 726,000 years to make that much. Now, Trump wants to make billionaires ever richer. jacobin.com/2025/05/ineq...

Hateful woman in Palmdale, California, keeps threatening to call ICE on a man—for flying a Mexican flag. Except, he’s an American citizen and flies the flag because he sells Mexican food. That’s it.
