Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

As you go through your day in Ontario remember all the idiots you encounter can also vote. Guy who takes up 4 parking spots at Costco with their giant truck: he votes. Lady at the post office trying to mail a live chicken: she votes. Sun opinion columnist: they vote. Go vote and fight the stupid.

I’m not sure the world has seen a genuine supervillain until 2025. Of course there’ve been countless monsters: hitler, Stalin, pol pot. But a real life figure who fits the Gotham/Metropolis model. Plutocrat bigwig who is actually deeply evil & wants to run the world for cartoonishly stupid reasons.

It currently takes 10.5 hours by train to travel from Quebec City to Toronto via Montreal. If Canada proceeds with a high-speed rail system, the trip would take only 4.5 hours. This project is a no-brainer.

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

This is our newest arrival. Got a call about her at 6am this morning about a big dog in trouble on the streets. She’s in a bad way but I’m hopeful we can help her. There were some very surprising discoveries… (1/8) 🧵

Doug Ford commercial in heavy rotation tonight, jabbers about “when Ottawa descended into chaos, he stood up, stepped up for us.” I beg your pardon? The closest Ottawa came to chaos was during the chud convoy and I distinctly remember Ford was nowhere to be found. He went snowmobiling.

Please: Anyone but Doug Ford. Ford is uniquely unqualified and unsuited to be a leader for this moment. His years in office have been defined by shortages — a lack of homes, doctors, teachers, jobs, skilled workers, subways, buses, and bike lanes. #Opinion

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.
