Who's the pretty bitch??

Pardon my grammar but I am a veteran. Fuck. This. Administration. With. A. Cactus. Tell me again it's not about color and/or gender.

Voice of America is silent. I remember in the Cold War when the Soviet Union wanted nothing more than to silence the Voice of America. Today's the day it happened.

I don't think Putin could have more thoroughly dismantled the soft power of the US if he's actually been sitting in the Oval Office behind the Resolute Desk himself. tramp & Musk don't work for the US.

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

People are smuggling eggs into the United States. Eggs.

85% of Canadians plan to, or are, buying more Canadian products in place of #US products. And that's just fine with me. angusreid.org/shopping-shi... #politics #economy #Canada #tariff #tuckfrump

"Intellectual Humility Predicts Scrutiny of COVID-19 Misinformation." It's a 2021 paper, but it's still very relevant today. Of course, the RWNJs won't accept it; they'll just say it's all part of a communist (or fascist) conspiracy. #progressivism #politics journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

WOW. After yesterday’s Oval Office ambush of President Zelensky, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway’s leading marine fuel providers, announced that it will no longer refuel U.S. Navy vessels, urging other European firms to follow suit. The United States is weaker and more isolated than ever.

More than half of Ontarians are dead from the neck up. Not because conservaturds got a "majority" (although, yeah, that too), but because they were elected based on 43% turnout. #onpoli #ontario #politics www.fairvote.ca/28/02/2025/p...

The best way to confront a bully about the misinformation he is spreading is to confront him in front of everyone. Macron just did that.

A lovely, funny, and rather scathing history of the despicably immoral practice of gerrymandering. #politics #usa #progressivism www.tiktok.com/@jayforeman/...

This petition, to revoke Elon Musk's Canadian citizenship, has over 200,000 signatures in only 4 days. Won't you sign it too? #canada #politics #canpoli #progressivism www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

Great article by @thenarwhal.ca about the reprehensible money-grubbing surrounding the Green Belt Scandal. Doug Ford is a crook. We have a chance to get rid of his filthy government. Do the right thing and vote for anyone but Ford. #onpoli #ontario #politics

How can Doug the Slug say he'll defend Ontario from Trump when we know he was happy Trump was elected? #onpoli #ontario #politics www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/vide...

Ontario’s winner-take-all voting system distorts election results, even @thestar.com agrees. This election, demand better. Proportional representation means seats match votes. Make your voice heard!

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

Despite polling 10% ahead of the NDP, the @ontarioliberal.bsky.social may still end up with fewer seats & miss official opposition status. First-past-the-post punishes voters. It's time for @bonnieforontario.bsky.social & the party to commit to proportional representation so every vote counts.

European Union should step in to fill the void left behind by the USA's withdrawal from the role of global leadership. Make Trump insignificant on the world stage.

Ross Douthat, flogging his new book on why everyone should believe in God, dismisses the argument that physical evil in the world, like horrible cancers in children, is evidence AGAINST God. There is no evidence that would make him give up his belief in God or Catholicism. bit.ly/4hwcL0R

Not gonna lie: I'm disappointed it's only 25%.

At least 30,000 people demonstrated in Berlin a week ahead of the elections and after comments by US Vice President JD Vance calling for German political parties to abandon the 'firewall' policy of not working with the far right.

Hagan Scotten resigned from the Justice Department rather than drop corruption charges against NYC mayor Eric Adams in a tit-for-tat deal with Trump. One sign that our Republic will endure. whyevolutionistrue.com/2025/02/16/a...

Really? #onpoli #ontario #politics When I tried to call the number back, I got "call cannot be completed as dialled", which probably means it's fake. Still, I cannot deny feeling a visceral pleasure as I sent my response.

Hey Doug Ford, thanks for the $200 bribe check. I'm still gonna vote for the other guy. #onpoli #ontario #politics
