10%. That's how many Albertans support a provincial pension plan, according to the government's survey. edmontonjournal.com/news/politic...

Wild how the Fed chair saying that *entire regions of the United States* won’t be able to get a mortgage in the next decade barely registered as a news event

Americans, reminder that the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corp) does nightly national/world news and you can watch it free on YouTube. You might want to get a non-American perspective on all things Iran for a while:

After soulless Stephen Miller criticized low arrest numbers, Trump demanded a minimum of 3,000 ICE arrests each day. Unsaid, but obvious, is that due process is optional. History will judge this administration as a lawless, morally bankrupt regime that Congress will impeach in January 2027.

If there's one legacy of the War in Iraq that Democrats should have internalized, it's the fact that those who lined up behind the war drums all came to regret that decision while those who wisely refused to go along were soon vindicated. One of the latter rode that decision to the White House!

Remember this from 2011 and 2012? How stupid does he think Americans are now? #WarWithIran #Iran #Israel #TrumpStartsAWar #USMilitary

Look who's starting World War III in 2025? 🧨 🧨 Trump repeatedly claimed in 2011 and 2012 that Obama would start a war with Iran to win reelection edition.cnn.com/2020/01/03/p...

US State Department schizophrenia: June 12, 2025 We congratulate all Russians on Russia Day! You guys rock! 🥳 June 17, 2025 We condemn constant Russian strikes on civilians in Ukraine. We are aware of the tragic death of an American citizen in Kyiv. Thoughts & prayers 😢

G7 Summit in Canada.

I’d like to say “we’re better than this.” But the truth is that this dark and hateful strain of nativism and bigotry has always pulsed through the body politic of America. Now, however, it’s’ being activated and applauded from a lawless White House.

An absolutely riveting piece by @guitarwatson.bsky.social. “I have only two words,” he said. “Never again.” www.democracydocket.com/opinion/a-ho...

The stupidity, incompetence, duplicity, lying, corruption, from the Trump regime, along with other sociopathic autocrats that volley off Trump’s regime, are pushing the world to the brink of mass destruction. #DementiaDon can’t negotiating anything. He’s a dangerous mental incompetent. #IsraelIran

C-SPAN caller to Tapper: "When are you going to examine what's going on with Trump? ... this president has been pure chaos, which indicates to me that there is something wrong with him. We will never get a straight answer on his medical exam, and yet you have gone after Joe Biden with a vengeance."

The Trump regime is deliberately deploying ICE agents at immigration hearings so they can more easily detain migrants. Armed, masked men abducting people from courthouses —and arresting those who ask why — is the stuff fascism is made of.

A lawmaker and her husband were murdered. A senator and his wife nearly killed. The suspect had a hit list. And what did we do? We blamed each other. We justified. We spun. Political violence isn’t coming—it’s here. And we’re normalizing it. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/political-...

From the sworn affidavit by the former AHS CEO… This is sworn as a draft copy of the letter AHS wanted to send to a charter surgical facility as part of their investigation into conflict of interests. Allegedly, the govt refused to let it be sent. /1 #abpoli #cdnpoli

The worst of our premiers, no question

🤔

A reminder to reporters, when historians look back on this moment with the president throwing himself a military parade and the people throwing No Kings rallies across America, the media sources raving about the former and sneering at the latter are going to be quoted by name. This is your legacy!

Trump parade vs No Kings march, San Diego

No one ever mentions white supremacy. They just pretend it doesn’t exist or is supposed to be some big secret, or something.

Newsom’s social media team is killing it. (This isn’t an old picture. It’s from right now. I asked.) 😂😂😂😂

Miraculous! NO KINGS!!!!

This time-lapse video of protesters marching down Broadway in Oakland for No Kings Day gives an idea of how many people turned out today @sfchronicle.com
