Carney said he’d stand up to Trump—instead he’s using the President as an excuse for a rapid-fire right-wing agenda. He’s unleashed a pro-corporate, Trump-friendly blitz, embracing Big Oil and militarism, social cuts, and crackdowns on refugees. Our recap of his first 100 days:

Extreme heat is coming to Ottawa on Monday, with a forecasted high of 35°, feeling like 47° with the humidity. This is a serious danger for many, particularly the unhoused. Mayor Sutcliffe needs to ensure cooling centres are available to keep the public safe.

Important context to the Supreme Court ruling is that Tennessee only has one gender clinic for kids and it performs 5 top surgeries per year. This entire "debate" is about a phenomenon — large numbers of kids being rushed into hormones and surgeries — that doesn't exist. apnews.com/article/heal...

Bluesky is only as successful as it is today because of trans people. Block transphobia on sight and make this a better platform.

Experts say that the suspect in the Minnesota shootings showed clear ties to forms of so-called charismatic Christianity that views abortion as a sacrifice to demons and seeks the end of secular democracy.

The Bill opens the door to unprecedented surveillance powers. It speaks not of preventing crimes, but of investigating ones that may have happened — a dangerous shift that is laying the foundation for a surveillance state. Canadians who voted for Carney never asked for this. 3/

The so-called Stronger Borders Act makes Harper’s Bill C-51 look like child's play.  It allows for gross violations of our civil liberties and privacy. 1/ www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

Breaking: Transgender people lose Skrmetti, SCOTUS rules that Tennessee's law banning gender affirming care is not subject to heightened scrutiny. I'll be reading and reporting more fully today. Terrible day for transgender people. Full decision here: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

seen some people complaining that this is a political stunt and lemme say if this was the kind of political stunt more politicians were doing on a regular basis we wouldn't be where we are today dude is actually putting himself on the line here, fuck off with that shit

Whoa! NYC mayoral candidate and current city Comptroller Brad Lander seemingly arrested at the NYC immigration court while attending to escort someone attending their hearing.

There’s something extra disturbing about these stories because it’s never that the other students are upset or express outrage. The other kids know and agree and cheer, and then it’s the responsible adults that take it upon themselves to say “you promised not to bring up the murdered children”

I know there's a lot going on, but this report on the way Bill C-2 would allow Canada to access and share your personal information without judicial oversight is well worth a read. citizenlab.ca/2025/06/a-pr...

The problem isn’t just who’s in power — it’s first-past-the-post that lets any PM or Premier concentrate power with 40% of the vote. Proportional representation is how we stop this cycle and build real checks and balances. www.fairvote.ca/12/06/2025/f...

“A society still conducting this kind of manmade technological violence after many decades of knowing exactly the suffering it causes to innocent people must believe in these weapons much more than in life itself.”

if the puzzle and food teams could somehow go independent we might finally see the end of this spineless, detestable rag

I don't think I've ever felt more like burning it all down than I have while witnessing the elite project to turn Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander into scary, incompetent monsters while turning an actual incompetent monster, Andrew Cuomo, into a merely complicated fellow who just made an oopsie.

People will tell you that they view property destruction as equivalent to violence against a person, but that's not true. They think property destruction is worse

I need folks to know that this isn't a real thing. Economic conservatism is fundamentally opposed to social liberalism. You can't reinforce capitalism and move wealth toward the wealthy while also pursuing social justice and equality

In surprised Fox News isn’t reporting this as “hero cop saves Minnesota from communism”

I know one thing. If I were a young blonde, white woman, and a police officer shot me ON CAMERA, my settlement would be large enough to have its own itemized line on LA's yearly budget.

It's possible that Grammarly has lost it's damn freaking mind. #writing #writingcommunity #booksky

it really doesn’t matter if someone is in america illegally or not. who cares, grow up

Trump thinks you defeat the left with violence, but really you do it by getting them arguing about the precise definition of ableism
