Pierre Poilievre's latest campaign commercial (you know, with the old white men golfing) was non-union, and the actors were paid thousands of dollars less than they deserved. But hey, he stands up for workers and unions and wants us to have powerful paycheques! Just don't ask to see the receipts!

I was asked to do a food safety thread given that the FDA is stopping food checks, but chronic illness got in the way. So here are just a few tips I've had to use due to severe immunosuppression that would benefit anyone. To clarify, I'm not an expert! Just a person who has to do these things!

Pope Francis has passed away at 88. I will always value his recognition of Islam as a faith that teaches humanity & justice, his demands to end the genocide in Gaza, his recognition of the existential threat of climate change, & his focus on ending poverty. May God have mercy on him.

The Pope literally used one of his last moments on Earth to scold JD Vance for his unchristian policies towards migrants and refugees. This lapsed catholic appreciates that more than I can verbalize. The people running our country are evil.

RIP to a great Pope who told JD Vance to fuck off in his dying days, we stan a vengeful queen who summons his final energy to curse the ugly 2nd to last boss you need to defeat FWIW a good friend of mine spent time with the Pope last year and said he was the most extraordinary person he'd ever met

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

Francis was elected in part because the Conclave didn't think he'd last very long. 12 years was much longer than they expected for the one-lunged pope. I doubt they'll misjudge that again. Expect a Benedict-style conservative to follow.

Gotta give it to Papa Francis, lives to give Easter Sermon and verbally backhand JD Vance and then peaces out with JC on Easter. Honestly, respect.

Raskin: You see that with Hegseth and a lot of other people who can actually be promoted to the highest levels of this government with the most irresponsible behavior, but they all happen to be white guys..

LOLOLOL I am 100% confident that Hegseth added his personal lawyer to the acts-of-war Signal chat because he believed that meant it'd be privileged information.

I'm asking traditional #NDP voters in #Peterborough to vote for the Liberal, Emma Harrison, in this election. You have a chance to make your vote count by booting conservative extremist Michelle Ferreri out of office. #exln45 #canpoli #cdnpoli

Abuses of the tax code was one of the items in the original impeachment case against Nixon. Using the tax code to selectively target enemies - and decimate civil society - is the next step in the authoritarian agenda.

Weird time to be a Jew and a woman when people say “look, to make you feel safe as a woman we need to inspect the veracity of your vagina and chromosomes before you go to the bathroom” & “we are going to abduct students and destroy universities and say it’s to protect Jews.”

Aunt Lydia in the Handmaid's Tale says: “There is more than one kind of freedom, freedom to and freedom from. In the days of anarchy, it was freedom to. Now you are being given freedom from.” Where freedom from ends up is Gilead. I want freedom to. Always and forever freedom to.

Its still never not funny to me that listening to emo or obamarock & doing flashmobs & shit + being if not woke at least woke-adjacent is consistently statistically better for your sex life than the "how to have sex more" podcasts & these morons still listen to them
