"I'll sue!" rings the familiar cry & the star-studded movie, The Apprentice" has been muzzled by scared movie studios. How could this film get life in non-standard distribution? What do you think?

Fossil Fuel (FF) fund bogus news media masquerading as local news. Greenpeace says potential jurors can be influenced by the disinformation. We all know this is standard for FF, right? BUT Big Money from billionaires has skillfully been conning us for decades.

tRump acts to kill US citizens' rights under NEPA to conduct rigorous environmental assessments & consider public comments.

Based in the US, good for Canada! This is a guide that helps students "describe their emotions about [climate change] & evaluate their own strengths & possible contributions to climate solutions. Neglected topic in schools, this can open the door for deep discussions.

I wouldn’t think “moved to root out diversity initiatives” is a useful phrase for journalism at all, but using it as a euphemism for a purge of high ranking black officers is downright Orwellian.

Cold climate heat pumps work efficiently in the Okanagan and cost the same, or less, to install than gas heating systems. So why is Fortis doubling down on a new gas facility when we know it'll increase costs to residents and doesn't serve the public interest?

Mind-blowing takedown of the Williamson Act, CA law that was supposed to offer farmers tax breaks to stop agricultural land from being converted to suburbs — but instead has become a useless giveaway to rich landowners, some of whom aren't even farmers: fresnoland.org/2025/02/19/t...

We’re supposed to just take Elon’s word that he’s found “massive” fraud in federal systems he took over? The same guy they found committing fraud on his fellow gamers?

The Clean200 (the biggest companies measured by total sales of sustainable products & services) managed 3x value, besting blue-chip benchmarks & leaving fossil fuel companies in the dust?" The answer is a reminder - it pays to follow the money instead of being swayed by disinformation.

Past time for a major re-think of our free trade agreement with the US (& Mexico). Our workforce & industries, as well as health care took an enormous blow for the agreements. We can reverse the neoliberal action & regrow our economy.

The Americans are going to expect us to build and run concentration camps too eventually.

#Adoptee here. The very idea of a registry of infant suppliers—of breeders for baby buyers—is fascism. Coercing people to relinquish to strangers the children they were forced to give birth to does not redress the injustice of forcing births; it compounds the injustice.

Dark Pence is back.

The king has lost his crown.

very cool that every car trip now involves honking at drivers who are so distracted by their phones that they miss light changes & navigating around Amazon trucks that are obstructing no-stopping lanes

You know this is 100% going to happen…
