Things in the US are pretty much shit right now, but at my kid's school concert tonight a trans kid sang and played ukulele in front of the entire school & their families and absolutely fucking nailed it, to thunderous applause. Trans people and trans joy has always existed, and always will. ❤️

Women make up a majority of workers in fed depts targeted for layoffs: VA, Ed, Health, Treasury, HUD, USAID, CFPB, and VoA, pulling out career ladders. The Trump admin removed diversity data from govt websites, obscuring the effects of mass layoffs. 19thnews.org/2025/05/wome...

Our Premier handled her scandals the usual way. She fled. youtu.be/5wqDfAU6Xc8?...

Tell Prime Minister Carney to block Donald Trump’s billionaire donors from owning or building pipelines in Canada! #cdnpoli #PRGT www.dogwoodbc.ca/petitions/ca...

ABOLISH ICE.

You want to talk government waste? I bet if we replaced all our piecemeal heavily means-tested social programs with a Universal Basic Income, a nice chunk of the cost will be covered by the savings of dismantling those beaurocracies alone.

Few things give me more pleasure than being on a train absolutely hauling ass past stopped traffic.

The day after the election, Trans children in Canada woke up feeling safe.

“The extent to which society can be thoroughly transformed is determined by the extent of the transformation attained by women.”

Ontario has reintroduced Bill 6, which will punish encampment residents even though they have nowhere else to go. We've joined the Encampment Justice Coalition to ask Premier Ford to rescind Bill 6 and commit to housing, not punishment. Read more: tinyurl.com/EJC

Thanks to low-cost wind & water power, Winnipeg & Montreal's electricity rates are 30% & nearly 50% lower than #Toronto’s.. It’s time for #Ontario to tap into cross-provincial trade for low-cost, #renewable electricity! LEARN MORE: www.cleanairalliance.org/end-electric... #BuyCanadian #🇨🇦 #onpoli

Ontario has cleaner, cheaper options than a $2.2B gas plant that’ll run just 3% of the time. Battery storage, demand response & Quebec imports cost up to 92% less. Why choose pollution over progress? #CleanEnergy #StopTheGasPlant #cdnpoli #Onpoli #Renewables www.cleanairalliance.org/simple-choice/

To maximize the economic & energy security benefits of importing low-cost, #renewable, #CDN power from our provincial neighbours, Manitoba & Quebec, #On MUST enact a plan to expand our east-west electricity grid. ADD YOUR VOICE: www.cleanairalliance.org/end-electric... #BuyCanadian #🇨🇦 #onpoli

it’s horrific that people are being primed for a lavender scare and long term this reaction against all women will be one step that leads to the liberation of trans women. this paranoia is unsustainable

Ontario has many better choices to meet peak electricity demand than wasting $2.2 B on a dirty gas plant which will increase our vulnerability to attacks from President Trump. #cleanenergy #onpoli #phaseoutgas #energyefficiency www.cleanairalliance.org/simple-choice/

Remember how hard our foremothers worked to earn your right to vote and get out there today, Canadian women!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8di...

Wind turbines on the Great Lakes could generate 100% of Ontario’s electricity needs in the coming years. It's time to lift the moratorium on offshore wind in ON. #onpoli #cdnpoli #renewable #energy cottagelife.com/general/coul...

It’s not just about voting #CarneyForCanada 🇨🇦. It’s also about Canadians standing up for our values and sovereignty by voting out the Maple MAGA 😡Conservatives! #LetsGoCanada 🇨🇦

At our meeting today we were reminded of our other voting song and the dangers of Poilievre! youtu.be/kuEWC6UU94s?...

Alt National Park Service Thank you to everyone who showed up. GOOD NEWS, the judge has been released! There is still a battle ahead!

“…a new study from the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health confirms what many riders already know—cycling to work makes you healthier, more productive, and even reduces sick days.”

EXACTLY! VOTE LIBERAL! FIRE POILIEVRE FROM HIS OWN RIDING! EVICT HIM FROM GOVERNMENT HOUSING!

Make it stop, @mndot.mn.gov

On the day the government announced plans to jail cyclists for life if they kill pedestrians, yet another “oh sorry, I was distracted” driver who killed a cyclist walks from court with no jail time (2 years suspended). www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The stakes of this election couldn't be higher. Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives want to take us backwards. #DontGetPlayed dontgetplayed.ca

Doug Ford took a major first step to end Ontario’s electricity separatism - now he must move quickly to increase grid capacity. Send your message here. #onpoli #buycanadian #cdnpoli #renewableenergy www.cleanairalliance.org/trade/

#earthday rally in front of Palo Alto city hall. We sang about how Tesla leaked toxic chemicals into our stream last fall. 6 months later city leaders fined then a mere $750. #teslatakedown

If you don't see that Pierre Poilievre is already actively working to weaken and belittle our Free Press in front of your eyes, I can't help you. The far right is not always subtle. You just have to watch what they do, not what they say.

I had to face some really horrendous nasty fucked up ablism in my community yesterday and I can't stop crying today. This is why I don't leave my house anymore now that I'm disabled.

#Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 A Dem who railed against Musk flipped an ancestrally RED district in PA state Senate on March 25. Democrats will now represent this area for the first time in at least 4 decades. MAGA future? Dismal. Barbara Lee was just elected Mayor in Oakland. We fight, we win!

Your grandparents' conservative party is gone. They're not about conservatism and fiscal responsibility. They're all about fascism, extremist ideology and control. When my die-hard conservative parents are scared off by PP, you know it's bad. Carney is our PM.

Poilievre said he will invoke the notwithstanding clause and trample on our Charter of Rights and Freedoms. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZFY...
