🦋 First it was TACO ... Wall St is alarmed by a measure hidden in the budget bill & they've dubbed it the "Revenge Tax" Enforcement of Remedies Against Unfair Foreign Taxes increases tax rates on investors from countries whose policies Trump deems “discriminatory” Bloomberg: archive.is/JwHNY 🦋

Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” isn’t just about tax cuts it quietly guts federal protections and reshapes entire agencies. Here’s what’s buried inside:

Sen. Patty Murray condemned HHS Secretary RFK Jr. for abruptly canceling a $776 million Moderna contract to develop pandemic flu vaccines. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

NEW: The US government has collected DNA samples from 133,000+ migrant children and teenagers and uploaded them into CODIS, a national criminal database originally built for convicted sex offenders and violent criminals, according to documents reviewed by WIRED.

I have questions. Is this AI or real? (I couldn't find attributions) If real, just imagine the amount of evil it took to force these prisoners into a scene designed for a camera. I've done large crowds for advertising. It's a huge production.

When our country is being compared to Hungary with its autocratic government, you know there's a problem. 😠 www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

RAW MILK... it's good for you... until it isn't and you get sick or die. All Hail RFK-jr for making milk safe again. I mean, Pasteur was SO DAMN FRENCH.

The World Travel & Tourism Council said this month it expects the U.S. economy to lose a “staggering” $12.5 billion in spending from international visitors in 2025, a “direct blow to the U.S. economy overall, impacting communities, jobs, and businesses from coast to coast.”

ICE’s Gestapo 👨‍✈️ ☠️ 🚔 tactics… …aimed at TOURISTS 😳 … …have resulted in the following countries issuing: 🚨 TRAVEL ADVISORY WARNINGS 🚨 …to their citizens considering traveling to the USA. 🚫 Canada 🇨🇦 Denmark 🇩🇰 Finland 🇫🇮 Germany 🇩🇪 UK 🇬🇧 Ireland 🇮🇪 Netherlands 🇳🇱 Australia 🇦🇺

incredibly inefficient use of the progressive vote in Nanaimo-Ladysmith. heck, even third and fourth place Green Paul Manly and NDP Lisa Marie Barron add up to more votes than leading candidate Con. Tamara Kronis.

Elon Musk made your life worse. Elon Musk made your life worse. Elon Musk made your life worse. Elon Musk made your life worse. Elon Musk made your life worse. Elon Musk made your life worse. Elon Musk made your life worse.

China is the world’s largest single greenhouse gas emitter, emitting twice as much as the United States. But now there’s been a key shift: China’s greenhouse gas emissions have fallen even as energy demand has gone up. This milestone is "ahead of schedule." from @vox.com via @climatedesk.org

Can't be overstated how fucked up it is that Black folk came up with a word to express people being aware of the oppression of other people and it's now targeted by far right governments globally as something evil that must be destroyed

Someone put a mirror out with the trash near Grange Park, and this one Canada goose is VERY MAD at this FUCKING GUY who will not STEP OFF

VANCOUVER – An American lawyer stripped of his security clearance by U.S. President Donald Trump says Canadians need to be “vigilant” about attacks on political freedom south of the border.

NEW: Harvard President Alan Garber gets a standing ovation at the University’s graduation ceremony as he takes a swipe at Trump: "Members of the class of 2025, from down the street, across the country AND around the world. Around the world - just as it should be.” 👏 (🎥 MSNBC)

Fred deLorey on #PnPCBC is correct, there's a need for a post-mortem on PP's stunning election loss. Some issues: security clearance, keeping press off the plane, inability to pivot off empty slogans because the belligerent Byrne would not be swayed . . . so much to discuss.

James Moore, Poilievre lost. Not enough Canadians liked him or wanted him. He's toxic and trump-like. It is refreshing that he's not in the House. For now. Not sure why CPC would want such a toxic divisive person. Some kind of abuse sport? #pnpcbc

"The last government treated Parliament as an inconvenience," says the Conservative talking head, whose party treats the institution like a content creation studio. A pox on all their houses. #PnPCBC

Putin's cannon fodder.

A glacier partially collapsed in Switzerland, burying the village of Blatten in a huge landslide of ice, rock, and mud after residents had been evacuated. Scientists called the collapse of the glacier “unprecedented” in the Swiss Alps.

“weapons grade stupidity” 🤯 Trump administration CANCELS contract with MODERNA to develop a VACCINE 💉 to potentially protect us against BIRD FLU 🦠

MUST WATCH: ICE kidnapped a disabled American citizen. Her name is Alma Bowman. Born in the Philippines while her dad served in the U.S. Navy. She’s lived here 48 years. They crashed her wheelchair, denied meds, cut her off from her lawyer—and jailed her. She. Is. A. Citizen.

This flower scared the living daylights out of me when I spotted it in our yard: It’s the size of a dinner plate (!!!) and I didn’t plant it 😶‍🌫️

I got a few minutes backstage in Vancouver with @jay.bsky.team to talk about Bluesky and her ambitious vision for fixing social media She has a compelling blend of optimism and realism and I’m so interested to see how she charts this path www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

#ClimateChangeIsReal #ClimateChangeIsReal A good reminder following Pierre PeePee’s speech yesterday declaring the need to remove “all industrial carbon pricing”. #Cdnpoli #Abpoli

All you need to know about Elon Musk’s stunning success is that he lasted 2.65 Liz Trusses and lost 150 billion dollars.
