Almost 200,000

Knowing the names of the an unelected oligarch’s underlings who are destroying the government from within is a crime now, apparently.

My Mom is a miner's daughter. Her whole family fought Nazis. She was walking through the snow with her walker when a woman asked her,"Will we survive Trump?" "Of course we will," Mom replied. "I don't need asparagus. I'll eat root vegetables. We've done it before." That's Canada. #strongasfuck

Welcome to the resistance

Moments before leaving office, Joe Biden commuted the life sentence of indigenous activist Leonard Peltier, who was convicted in the 1975 killings of two FBI agents.

‘She couldn’t walk, she couldn’t talk’: music therapy helped Joni Mitchell recover from a stroke – could it ward off depression and dementia too? Neuroscientist/musician Daniel Levitin, author of "Music As Medicine" thinks so. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/j... via @theguardian.com #neuroscience

So Justin Trudeau has finally entered his "Charlie Angus phase" in standing up to the predator from Mar-a-Lago. The fact is, Justin wears a suit way better than me. But I opened for the Dead Kennedy's and the Violent Femmes. If he wants lessons in fighting Trump, I'll take him under my wing.

Conservatives aim to block not just abortion services but also discussions on women's reproductive rights in the House of Commons. This effort to silence debate reflects their intolerance, making it clear why Canadians should be concerned about a potential Conservative government. #NDP

Between the earthquake/tsuanmi scare, the UnitedHealthcare shooting and the South Korea martial law stuff this week, it feels like Bluesky is getting more and more critical mass around breaking events that made Twitter so sticky and useful.

1. BREAKING - BC Conservative MLA’s attack their own colleague in a letter, and demand she apologize to Comfort Sakoma-Fadugba who alleged on social media posts that Canada’s culture and values are being undermined by minority groups. #bcpoli #vanpoli

I should’ve pardoned my son too. I let Jebus go through all that, and for what?

Mega congrats to @aoc.bsky.social, who just hit ONE MILLION followers on Bluesky! 👏👏🦋

New in #bcpoli - B.C. Premier David Eby has announced that the next legislative session will start on February 18, 2025 with a Speech from the Throne - and Budget to follow.

Deeply disturbing rhetoric. The mayors and councillors I’ve worked with are the most dedicated, community minded folks you’ll meet. Disparaging them for cheap political points does our country a disservice.

This deranged individual will be leading the FBI if Trump gets his way. This pick is not about law and order, it is about revenge and about targeting your political enemies.
