new pope! *crowd goes wild* American pope! *crowd boos* woke for an American! *crowd goes wild* bad on protecting abusive priests! *crowd boos* hates JD Vance! *crowd goes wild*

There is something dishonorable here, but it's not transgender people.

The antagonizing of allies, tariffs on foreign products, and ending immigration make sense when you realize that Trump is an abuser isolating us from the rest of the world. Abusers typically isolate their victims from friends, family, and the outside world. It's this on a societal scale.

The more the people who control the Internet talk, the more I think we should destroy the Internet and all go hang out in curling rinks and bowling allies

Good: * Poilievre isn't Prime Minister. * Poilevre lost his own seat. Bad: * Everything has shifted substantially rightward. * 40% of popular vote and +20 seats for Cons. * Basically a two-party parliament of centre right and far right. * Left leaning parties wiped out.

Observations on Elections 2025. The NDP has failed miserably at providing a serious third, left, option, for years now. Whatever happens to them tonight is deserved.

Debates Commission has cancelled the post-debate scrums after this English leaders debate. This cancellation follows an altercation prior to the debate involving Rebel News and other journalists. #elxn45

Nazis burned books about trans people for a reason. Trans people are the canary in the coal mine of fascist uprising, because if we can define gender roles for ourselves, then fascists have no way of controlling us and convincing us that men are innately violent, women are innately maternal, etc.

Ahead of this evening's critical — and chaotic — Canadian election leaders' debate, the debate commission has given right-wing conspiracy news outlet Rebel News *five times* as many spots for its (fake) journalists as actual news outlets. www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

After the Canadian Association of Journalists issued a statement defending the Western Standard’s access to Liberal campaign events, the Western Standard turns around and goes after the employment status of other journalists This is real ”paradox of tolerance“ stuff here, @cajournalists.bsky.social

Studio Ghibli films are such masterpieces that speak to empathy, connection, nature, and humanity. It's beyond disgusting seeing that art style completely bastardized by soulless generative AI and used to support fascist trolls. It's genuinely contradictory to everything Miyazaki stands for.

Right-wing YouTuber Tim Pool has made it to the White House pool — someone from his “Timcast” channel will be part of today’s pool duty covering the president. Last year, DOJ revealed Pool was receiving millions of dollars from the Russian gov. Pool says he didn’t know where it was coming from.

It’s really strange how Trump figured out that Executive Orders are basically “longer tweets that drive giant media attention” and the media hasn’t figured it’s being played each time they report on these as if it’s Moses coming down the Mount with stone tablets.

“New Democrat Leader Jagmeet Singh and his party are scared to be the progressive, left-wing champions the country needs” Read me gather up the NDP www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/0...

Maybe someone should check in on the videographer. Looks like he's having a seizure.

In other news, Der Spiegel found private phone numbers, email addresses and some passwords for Waltz, Gabbard and Hegseth online www.spiegel.de/internationa...

who cares about canadian sovereignty, just please lay off for a few weeks mr trump so the conservatives can win the election then go mad

I’d love to see more local governments (and beyond) planning for alternative ways to communicate with their populations instead of relying on Facebook and Twitter/X. Good move from this NZ community.

Ok but instead of just releasing this with French subtitles he clearly should've done a separate French version with Celine Dion

“Singh also hasn’t come up with a social democratic version of the Conservatives’ anti-Trudeau populism. In Europe, leftist parties have recently found success in both articulating an alternative to dead-end liberalism and stopping the far right” We need the left in 🇨🇦 thewalrus.ca/with-the-ndp...
