"Six weeks ago, we had the strongest economy, employment, and stock market in history. ..All gone in 30 days."

There are 3 special elections coming up and those 3 seats are the keys to stopping the Congressional Republicans doing Trump & Musk’s evil bidding. We need just 1 seat to block them, 2 seats to stop them, and with all 3 we can FLIP THE HOUSE. Join us!! Monday 2/24 @7:30 EST. 👇👇 mobilize.us/s/Y9NrBb

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

“The First Amendment prohibits the government from asserting control over how news organizations make editorial decisions,” the letter said. “Any attempt to punish journalists for those decisions is a serious breach of this constitutional protection.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/b...

This is the biggest Canada/Russia game since the 72 Challenge Series. 🇨🇦 🇷🇺 🇺🇸

My body can’t tell the difference between being chased by a bear and watching a hockey game 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 #gocanada

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

So, Canada is playing Russia tomorrow? #fournations #hockey ❤️☮️🇨🇦 🏒

And here it is, my Joker moment. I am insane now.

🗣️ @aoc.bsky.social out fighting for the people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” 🇺🇸

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

It bears repeating that the increase in food bank usage has been identified by food banks themselves as because provincial social services are inadequately funded and haven't kept pace with inflation, and has absolutely nothing to do with the carbon levy, nor have deficits fuelled that inflation.

“The first step in containing the damage is to see Trump’s and Musk’s goals for DOGE clearly: It is a project rooted in resentful arrogance, and its true objective is not better government, but destruction.” From Tom Nichols www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

This WaPo piece has something valuable inside: the names of some of the grownups running DOGE behind the scenes. The Incels are a distraction. These people are real. It'd be helpful for people in the agencies to ID anyone from DOGE for...reasons. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

If Mayor Adams was fired by the Governor, wouldn't that remove the rationale supporting DOJ motion to dismiss the indictment? Couldn't the judge then reject it?

And as Prime Minister, I will Deregulate the Safety, Defund the Services, Avoid the Media, Subsidize the Wealthy, Harness the Lightning, Welcome the US, Speak the Anglo-Saxon, Cancel the Diversity, Abandon the Commoners, Celebrate the Mediocrity, Crash the Economy, and keep blaming Trudeau.

Hey #medsky. If interested, here are the recruitment links for all 10 provinces and 3 territories in Canada.

Another one for the list of stuff to boycott and for our government to ban. #BuyCanadian 🍁 Would help our housing market tremendously. Two birds. @charlieangus104.bsky.social

You can say that again! #bluecrew #resist

This is Canada, and Canadians will decide our future. This is the greatest country in the world — and together we can make it even better. www.youtube.com/watch?v=83wV...

jamelle is correct

Can’t believe I’m quote-posting Mr Coyne, but those are the times we live in.

When people see the maple leaf, they see possibility. They see freedom. They see a helping hand. They see Canada, and the best of our values. Happy 60th to our flag. 🇨🇦

In what feels like an even grimmer replay of President Donald Trump’s first term in office, the administration has moved to erase countless references to LGBTQ+ people from federal websites. Read more about the webpages impacted here ⤵️

If you’ve ever taken the oath to uphold the Constitution, this is the time to live up to it.

Appointing an oil executive as new CEO of the Alberta Energy Regulator shatters any hope for a fair and effective oversight of the industry - www.keepersofthewater.ca/news/treaty-... #ABLeg #ABPoli

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.
