A reminder to members of the U.S. Armed Forces that you took an oath to support & defend the Constitution, NOT the president. They are mutually exclusive things.

I’m still shaking with rage over this.

Quisling (noun): a traitor who collaborates with an enemy force.

“Each of the outlets made a willful decision to forgo referring to the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of Mexico. While it may have been performed in a subtle manner, make no mistake: It was still an act of submission.”

At the Mike Lawler empty chair town hall in Peekskill, 102 year old Dee in danger of losing her Medicaid, heard FDR on the radio in 1935 when he created Social Security. @indivisible.org

We thank everyone for supporting the boycott of American products. But please buy Lays chips. There are 1200 union members with the Steelworkers at the plant in Cambridge and they need your support. Boycott American plants but support the jobs here in Canada. #elbowsup

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

A man slated for deportation has captured conditions inside the Krome Detention Center in Florida. He says some people have been confined like this for up to 30 days. At least three men have died at Krome in the past five months. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8248mFR/

Oh yeah, attack the survivor of the worst mass shooting in national history for being anti-gun. It’s gonna go great. Conservatives stop being psychos for ten seconds challenge. Difficulty: impossible

The Charlie Angus resistance tour will be in Toronto for a town hall on Monday night. I will join the protest at the American consulate at 4pm. Hope to see people there.

Welp, there goes the US defense industry.

These are #Canadian values. #2SLGBTQIA+ solidarity and support We stand together. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇨🇦❤️

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

It's hard to put into words my love for Canada but this video manages to express it RS youtu.be/vhiKlhTmwDU?...

Found in a Canadian grocery store. A lot of countries grow oranges. Good bye, Florida 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It was never about removing “gang members”. It was never about “dangers to our country”. It was ALWAYS about white power, Christian nationalism, Nazism. Racism.

Last month, Jose Franco Caraballo Tiapa, a Venezuelan migrant who was seeking asylum in the US, showed up to his routine check-in with ICE in Dallas, when authorities detained him. His wife believes he’s one of the hundreds of Venezuelan men who were sent to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act.

People who change your life: Ted Schmidt taught highschool to my punk rock bandmates. When our band went on the road Ted gave us books on social justice and how to turn faith into action. He has been part of my life ever since. He is in his 80s and holds a weekly vigil on Kingston road for peace.

From grand to bland. A project involving 3 levels of govt & nobody stood up for architecture & good design. My column o. the state of the public realm in Toronto. Pls read & share if this kind of writing is interesting to you. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

My new article on tool libraries just dropped at @theurbanist.org 🛠️🪛

When there was a shitty job in the war it was given to the Canadians. We never flinched. As the US threatens us and allies like Britain duck, we know where we stand. Defending democracy might be a thankless job but give it to Canadians. We will get it done. My latest. substack.com/home/post/p-...

“Hey Guys! Someone grab that floor mat in the kitchen, would ya?”

“Everything Trump has said and done has led to a level of rage and defiance that I think very few Americans fully appreciate.” www.vox.com/politics/403...

ATTN: LTC families: Anyone have a loved one at Lakeridge Gardens in Oshawa. Discovering some troubling things and I’m interested to connect with families….

"The study of money, above all other fields in economics, is the one in which complexity is used to disguise truth or to evade truth, not to reveal it." -John Kenneth Galbraith

Making people with undiagnosed ADHD have to call a doctor they don't know to get an exam so the can make an appointment to see a specialist they don't know in order to get a prescription treatment for a condition that makes scheduling appointments almost impossible feels intentionally malicious

Go ahead and stay silent. Let fear rule you. Watch injustice happen. Just don’t act like you did not know and accept that you are the latest in a long line of cowards who learned nothing from the past. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-c...

Here is a list of countries on 9-11 that placed their military on 'war' footing & scrambled fighter jets in case they were needed to defend the United States: 🇨🇦

Dear @aaron.bsky.team. @azbrittney and @donkoclock were apparently mass reported by MAGA bot accounts and suspended. Brittney and Donk are the sweetest people, and they’ve always tried to put out positive vibes. There was NO reason for their suspension. Please reinstate their accounts ASAP—thanks!

Termination notices sent to V.A. contractors. Effective immediately “You shall not be paid for any work performed or costs incured which reasonably could have been avoided … You remain liable to your subcontractors & suppliers for costs arising because of the termination of subcontracts or orders”

This letter appeared in the Bloomsburg PA Press Enterprise this morning. I am assured the writer is who he purports to be, an Air Force veteran.

Imagine having the actual smartest and most experienced economic person in any room as your actual Prime Minister during what will be a nation-changing economic crisis? And one known specifically for integrity in impossible situations as well. What a novel concept.

Canada should be enhancing its travel advisory on the US. It isn’t safe for Canadians (or Europeans or…Americans) to travel there now. travel.gc.ca/travelling/a...

If you were really looking for fraud at SSA, you wouldn’t need write access. You WOULD need write access if you wanted to CREATE fraud where none existed as a pretext to shut down Social Security.

Not the first person to make this observation, but it's so striking how the media covered the crack epidemic as a problem caused by black/urban drug users and the fentanyl epidemic as a problem imposed externally on white/rural drug users.

An election is looming and Canada's democracy is under threat like never before. Please share this message to Canadians on the need to protect our democracy - the Peoples House - from the likes of Musk, Vance, Trump and MAGA Maple disinformation. charlieangus.substack.com/p/protecting...

We are seeing a giant lie play out w Canada as target. Same happened 23 years ago, w Frum at centre of the lie. But now a guy like Frum will be invited on the cbc’s flagship radio program & never ever questioned about it, treated as a respected expert. Trust in media was killed from within

In 21 years of political life nothing touched me as deeply as being welcomed into the Indigenous lands of the far north. They let me share the joys, the unbelievable heartbreak and to fight for justice. I love travelling the Polar Bear Express with the aunties and the kids. Heaven on earth.

Trump’s wife-beating friend is cool with rapists and human traffickers.

Trump and Musk should be asked every day how many Veterans they’ve fired.

Elon Musk, J. D. Vance have tried to intervene and undermine elections in Europe. Elections Canada is not willing to take this issue on. Questions are being raised about banning X during the electoral period to prevent foreign interference in our democracy. thetyee.ca/Opinion/2025...
