Kid Rock makes music for dudes who are only allowed to see their kids on weekends, but don’t ! 😂😂😂

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. -FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.

The White House. The actual White House. This is the attitude of every abuser, who is now fearful of the consequences of their abuse.

On top of everything else, 🇺🇸 pulls this crap on me today.

We know you would, that's the entire problem

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

NEW: The Venezuelan military says it has raised its alert level following the discovery of an alleged U.S. plot to fabricate an incident at an ExxonMobil offshore platform in the contested waters between Venezuela and Guyana to justify an armed conflict.

This should be obvious!

Catching up on a few things I haven’t had a chance to clip yet — did you know Poilievre, speaking in French, called UNWRA terrorists and said he’d stop giving any funding to them???? Absolutely horrifying position given UNWRA’s integral role in providing humanitarian aid to the region.

A lot of people noticed the Hands Off protests were mostly white women—and peaceful. Isn’t it interesting how protests are peaceful when there aren’t a bunch of cops in riot gear… or white supremacist militia groups lurking around? Listen to this…

Ignore Pierre Poilievre at your peril, 🍁 This Conservative approach is NOT best for Canada #Election2025 #Elxn45 #CndPoli #ResearchersVote #VotonsRecherche www.montrealgazette.com/news/canada/...

"After many years of covering election campaigns in Canada, USA and Europe, the Conservative Party of Canada is the most outwardly aggressive and uncivilized that I’ve witnessed. It’s on par with Viktor Orbán in Hungary and the Republican Party in the USA." canadianjournalist.ca/poilievre-ca...

Good morning BC.

On a day of tariffs and economic catastrophe, we all deserve some good news www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

www.cbc.ca/news/busines... Dear 🇨🇦 Amazon CLOSED every single #Quebec facility bc one of the 7 had the audacity to be 🇨🇦's first unionised. DON'T GIVE THE BILLIONAIRE YOUR HARD EARNED CASH.. #BuyCanadian 🇨🇦 #ElbowsUp 📢

Good morning BC

My dad died today. And that's fucking weird to deal with. But he died by MAID and that's awesome. I live in 🇨🇦 where you can choose to die as part of your medical care, and I love that. Most countries don't allow this; they're wrong. Choosing when to die when you're dying is wonderful.

You're alive. Then you're dead. Existence is fleeting.

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

Toronto Public Library asking Canadians to mash up some of its old war posters for our new relationship with the US. Here is my take: ( do your own! www.reddit.com/r/toronto/co... )

Here's Marjorie Taylor Greene literally telling a British reporter to "go back to your country" and berating her for trying to ask a question. "We don't give a CRAP about your opinion."

This is terrifying and gross. substack.com/app-link/pos...

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again. This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.

When scholars of authoritarianism and fascism leave U.S. universities because of the deteriorating political situation here, we should really worry.

2 pints of Wellington Brewery beers; Arkell Best Bitter cask ale foreground, Harvest Ale background. The most delicious beer made in 🇨🇦 at the best pub in 🇨🇦, the Wooly in Guelph, Ontario. Now that's shopping Canadian!

If I owned this business, I would never change that sign. We need more of this.

My last official photo. I have been honoured to serve people for 21 years. I am not going off into the sunset. Steve Earle rings in my ears, "The revolution starts now in your own hometown. What are you doing standing around?Follow your heart. The revolution starts now." #resistance #elbowsup

Fellow Canadians : Let us please do everything in our power not to elect this absolute dipshit. The man is a career politician that has never done a day of manual labour in his fucking life and yet he hides behind idiotic slogans like this. Boo this man at every turn. May he never know peace.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.
