I can’t speak for anyone else, but this analogy of ā€œLady Liberty’ held captive, is exactly how I feel about this presidency & administration and what their attempting to do with our rights and freedoms… The New Yorker captured the feelings perfectly… One word, UNACCEPTABLE!

I wonder what the odds are that hundreds of additional Ukrainian ā€œTrojan Horseā€ drones remain hidden in trucks across Russia, just waiting to be launched at additional targets over the coming days. Best of all — there’s very little Putin can do to prevent it!

Overheard: Apparently Zelenskyy had some cards, and he didn’t need a suit.

Oh hi I’m at Concordia University of Edmonton Convocation and so is Nathan Fillion! Congratulations on your honorary degree and thank you for all you’ve done to represent Edmonton! And congrats to all the incredible graduates! šŸŽ“ā™„ļø

What is missing from so much American commentary is the understanding that King Charles came to Canada not as the British monarch, but as the King of Canada, and in his capacity as Canada's head of state. This is the official portrait of the King of Canada, wearing his Canadian honours:

#CanadaSky #Cdnpoli Provincial leaders across Canada should be paying attention. If Doug Ford and Ontario's Cons don't do this right they are going to create one helluva mess if they force Indigenous Leaders to a reboot of "Idle No More". www.northernontariobusiness.com/regional-new...

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did.

From šŸ‡¬šŸ‡§to šŸ‡ØšŸ‡¦, support sent from abroad as the #Royals come to open 45th #Parliament in #Ottawa, #Canada. #KingCharles #Cdnpoli #PMCarney

If this bill passes there won’t be anymore elections. He told you when he campaigned, ā€œYou’ll never have to vote again.ā€ You didn’t listen. Now here we are. Stupid fukkking MAGAt assholes.

Nothing I say about The Ninja Turtles anime could possibly do it any justice. This shit had a scene where Krang hit the Twin Towers with a tsunami & it's not even one of the Top 10 craziest things that happens.

The Art of the Deal

The very same asshole in the role of "ambassador" trying to tell Canada we can't have our own head of state open our own parliament":

The ā€œchampion of the working manā€ and the ā€œconvoy champā€ sucked almost $8.9M off the taxpayer teat last year- more than double the PM- including $7.4M in ā€œstaff salariesā€. His whole act is a fake scam. He’s the most expensive person in Ottawa. Poilievre needs to go away. #cdnpoli

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.

The rain is finally reaching across into farming areas that have been in drought

Nigel Farage missed Keir Starmer's Commons statement on the UK-EU Summit earlier this week. He's now missing today's Westminster Hall debate on the summit. Because just a few days before parliamentary recess, he's on holiday. (Which is his 10th trip abroad at least since the general election).

Watch and learn. šŸ‘€ 🧠 I’ve written often about how infants learn language not just with their ears, but with their eyes. But I’ve rarely run across a better video example than this lovely moment shared to IG by seanandcaitlin. (Thread 🧵)

We need more of this energy:

Warnock: You literally have, in real time, the leader of another nation-state—in this case, South Africa—there to talk to him about trade, and he’s saying, ā€œSorry, Mr. President, we don’t have a plane to offer you.ā€ And you see why we have an Emoluments Clause in the first place.

Oh, boy. Things are being uncovered across AB and SK govs. My sources inside say there’s a lot of infighting. Rumours (just rumours at this point) that a fixer has been hired. I’d expect something not so insignificant to blow up within the next few weeks here. 😬 #canada #cdnpoli #ableg #skleg

Here’s an idea: Stop acting like the Gestapo.

Stop calling kidnapping and trafficking people to countries they’ve never been to ā€œdeporting.ā€ It’s criminal behavior by a country with no conscience. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Just a few weeks ago people were pitching Cory Booker as a front runner for the 2028 Dem presidential nomination. Tonight he was the only Senate Dem to vote to confirm Jared Kushner’s convict dad as ambassador to France. Sheesh.

Ah yes, the ā€œgolden age.ā€

Back the blue? Your followers BEAT the blue on Jan. 6 and then you pardoned them. Shameful.

RESULT: Nicusor Dan, the centrist mayor of Bucarest, will be the next president of Romania. A big loss for the far-right: its candidate George Simion got 41% in round one, but didn’t grow enough, & turnout surging worked against him. Simion is down 54.3% to 45.7% with 96% reporting.

I almost skipped reading this post because so many people rant and its hard to listen to people rant sometimes...but Im glad I read it. Maybe you should too. šŸ "Don't let perfection stand in the way of progress"
