America hasn’t felt this upside down since I was a child in an internment camp.

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

Funny....All of a sudden, no one's performing arbitrary sex-change operations on unexpecting grade-schoolers anymore.

Too bad Uvalde Elementary didn’t sell Teslas.

Is there anyone out there that is mapping any delayed or cancelled federal payments ? Would be really interesting to see which towns and cities are going to be hit

A grim but essential memory: 80 years ago today Auschwitz was liberated. That there was an Auschwitz to liberate is unspeakably tragic. . . www.history.com/this-day-in-...

From the onset of the Kaitlyn Braun story getting to the media, I felt she was twisted. After listening to this podcast I feel that she is pure fucking evil. #KaitlynBraun #DoulaAssault #HamOnt #Predator podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/t...

@chrislhayes.bsky.social Chris, what is your advice for those is us who feel distressed by the current political climate in the US, as well as the tension that Trump has placed on his relationship with Canada?

I have and will continue to. But you know why I say it here ? Because @bsky.app is 30m strong and growing quickly. The collective wisdom and influence of users here is far greater than any individual democrat. I can't say it enough. Bluesky can be the influence that can counter RW media.

I love this so much! At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions. This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

Seen this one yesterday, absolutely made my day...

Interview 35 of 35. Tell me I’m wrong. www.thestar.com/business/tru...

Ever wonder what happens when Trump threatens Canada-US trade?  25 interviews in 22 hours and 6 more to go.  If you didn’t hear “let’s be patient” from me today, you might be dead.

Good. It’s horrific how other platforms abused their reach to strangle local, independent, and national outlets alike. I WANT to see news and actual vetted work and I WANT journalists to get rewarded for it. Because I want to live in a thinking human world over some AI generated slop dystopia

If you needed even MORE of a reason to switch to Bluesky, China is "troubled" by the fact that they've invested so much time on Twitter buying ads, bots, and influencers... only to see the people they're seeking to manipulate (us) flee the site. www.semafor.com/article/11/2...

Somebody said im trending on twitter… but bitch im thriving on Bluesky

😆😆😆 Who did this one?

We have to protect our paramedics at all costs. The physical & psychological toll on these professionals is concerning, w/suicide rates among Canadian paramedics 5X higher than the national average. Our first responders deserve better. #suicideprevention #FirstResponders #MentalHealth #Burnout

Love @safety.bsky.app’s urgency to remove the riff raff.

In #HamOnt, you need to earn at least $21.30 per hour to afford a reasonable standard of living, the Ontario Living Wage Network (OLWN) has calculated. That's what the organization has set as the new living wage in the city. https://buff.ly/3YO3Z64 #OnPoli #LivingWage

“McMahon has criticized DEI programs, writing in an op-ed published by Fox News this year that DEI provisions were ‘irrelevant to training skilled workers’ and that such policies ‘add costs and administrative burdens to all apprenticeship programs.’” www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

I mean, it’s only a matter of time before it’s released? Right?! #MattGaetz #DirtbagHack @nytimes.com

Local man shocked to discover that well documented pathological liar is not, in fact, a man of his word.

JD Vance since Nov 5th 😂

This is a cool initiative in #HamOnt

I am glad that the media is bringing this to the public’s attention, but violence against healthcare workers is a massive problem and has been for years. ://vancouver.citynews.ca/2024/11/16/vancouver-hospital-arrest-attack-on-health-care-worker/
