Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

Since time immemorial Hwkw’akw’la’hwum has existed as a place where Indigenous people have grown food. Now, after more than a century of colonization and land theft, the land is finally being returned to Quw’utsun stewardship. Story by Jared Qwustenuxun Williams: thediscourse.ca/cowichan-val...

As the Cowichan Valley transit strike enters its fourth month, community members who rely on public transit — and particularly those from marginalized communities — say they are feeling disconnected from the world as they struggle to get to work or school, and lose access to essential services.

When President Vladimir Putin traveled to the Kursk region this month for the first time since Russia expelled Ukrainian forces, his helicopter reportedly came under fire from Ukrainian drones. And that’s exactly how the Kremlin designed it. www.themoscowtimes.com/2025/05/30/h...

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.

Couple of quotes from the article "lost their attitude control" and "Elon-time". Yeah baby, definitely the first and the second is like Hawaii time or Kootenay time, I guess. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I’m starting my annual walk across Connecticut today! Beginning in the very northwest corner of the state - Salisbury. I will talk to hundreds of people over the next few days about what they want (and don’t want!) from their elected leaders. My favorite week of the year!

Something spicy & delicious as a taco has gotten under Trumplestiltkin's thin tangerine skin. Seems the master of mean, juvenile nicknames can dish them out but when directed towards him, he can't take it, angrily calling it "nasty."🤣 Good to know. (you know what to do!) 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮

Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country. Otherwise, it’s just racism.

Students across America are standing up and speaking out against the unhinged Trump regime. Protests erupted on Harvard’s campus, in response to Trump’s war on the university. And yesterday, more than 500 students from dozens of NYC high schools walked out of class to protest ICE’s abuse of power.

“At least 13 of nearly 100 balloon sites were cut or reduced when the White House's Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, took aim at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration earlier this year.”

“Planned Parenthood halted abortions in Missouri on Tuesday after the state's top court ordered new rulings in the tumultuous legal saga over a ban that voters struck down last November.”

American senators coming cap in hand to Ottawa to say the "healing has begun" is simply not believable. A convicted felon in Washington is still saying "never say never" about destroying our country. We know what is at stake. @meidastouch.bsky.social www.nj.com/politics/202...
