Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

New in PN: AOC shows how to fight back and stand strong "Prominent figures standing up can undermine the climate of fear that MAGA relies on to impose terror. AOC’s work on behalf of her constituents and refusal to be intimidated are models of resistance other Democrats would do well to imitate."

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, ProPublica’s analysis shows. As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.

Today’s cover of the Murdoch-owned New York Post

A Manhattan federal judge on Friday banned Elon Musk’s team from regaining access to the U.S. Treasury Department’s most sensitive payment and data systems until the conclusion of a lawsuit that claims the group’s access is unlawful.

Worst. Episode. EVER.

Our Prime Minister. True patriot love….

I know it's cliche by now, but tonight was a real 'Bluesky has the juice' moment. Sharing an experience like the Canadian #4nations win was very Twitter 1.0.

Nice to see the Bluesky icon on emails from Mark Carneys Team.

If we have enough people with the knowledge and moral fortitude of Maine Governor Janet Mills, and the Associated Press- we might be able to save our Democracy

Hillary was right about this fucking puppet.

“We actually ended up using America’s favourite strategy against them,” said Connor McDavid, who scored the winning goal. “I wanted the trophy, so I took it without asking them what they thought.” 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 🇨🇦

It was always Rand Paul’s destiny to be the last man to board the political Titanic and the first one to shove a woman out of the way to take the last seat on a lifeboat.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

We're very fair to Canada. But they're not fair to us. We invite them. Come and play in Boston. Beautiful city. Boston, Muskachusetts. The perfect city really. But Canada. Very unfair. We give them two goals. Very fair. But Canada takes more goals. Not very fair, right? Goal tariffs. It's happening.

DOGE = Department of Gross Errors

Canada wins…

If you want to get a sense of the mood out there, apparently this song from last century is going viral (Yes, the same band that famously did "Tubthumper")

Never forget.

Remember when America had friends? Like a month ago?

Forecaster warns of heightened avalanche risk in southwestern B.C. amid warming, heavy precipitation Avalanche Canada urges those in backcountry to 'make conservative choices' #BritishColumbia #Canada #AvalancheRisk www.cbc.ca/player/bc-so...

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

Gonna miss him 😭 if you'll miss him too. vm.tiktok.com/ZMkvAN8Qf/

It really is a matter of time before H5N1 or its variants to spread to humans And we are not prepared "Stop fear mongering" THEN MITIGATE "How?" Better monitoring, better communication and stop being ignorant. Masking in hospitals. Better hygiene protocols. Better science literacy. Clean the air

Elon Musk: "I'm a bought asset of Putin? I'm like, he can't afford me"

Why does the unelected oligarch act like he has the authority to make pronouncements such as this? Remember, he is NOT just an average citizen blowing off steam. How long until he is officially "The Doge" instead of co-leader of the Department? That particular acronym is likely intentional.

Last week, she was exclusively interviewing Pierre Poilievre. This week, she was linking the Delta plane crash in Toronto to DEI in a social media post. Just...sickening. Let's talk about the truth behind these "meritocracy" arguments: youtu.be/0e745p8UKQY

🚨 🚨 🚨Reason 6 to #VOTE:🔌❌ Doug Ford premier of #Ontario has pulled the plug on #wastewater #surveillance, a program that only cost the province $15 million in 2023-24. Now all #Ontario government-funded #wastewater analysis ended six months ago in #Ontario 🚨 🚨 🚨

"Gamed" = accurate fact-checking 🙄

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

Soooooo I’m gonna be going to bed angry again. If you wanna be American, move. Albertans are Canadian first, and many of us will die to keep it that way! 🇨🇦 Tell Danielle! —to kiss my 🍑 😡 #abpoli #ableg #wexit #alberta #ucp #smith

Ford wants progressives to fight amongst themselves. Divide and conquer works in politics. That’s why we must unite our votes behind the best-placed challenger. Don’t play into Ford’s hands. #ONpoli #ONelxn #VoteStrategically

Right now inside the senate while voting for Kash Patel to lead the FBI Benny Johnson (left) with Sen. Mike Lee and Sen. Markwayne Mullin - to go live on his YouTube channel — remember he was named in an indictment as a Russian active social influencer
