It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

Thought your Social Security was safe?

Donald Trump says Canada has no right to exist. I take the threat seriously. With our sovereignty on the table I support a national discussion on next steps. But CBC thinks it would be fun to have an American DJ co-host whether we should exist as a nation. Fuck that @ianhanomansing.bsky.social

Speaker Mike Johnson’s budget plan is in trouble as multiple GOP hardliners seek last-minute changes that could risk support from the party’s centrist middle — jeopardizing leadership’s plans to kickstart Trump’s agenda in Congress.

NEW -- Elon Musk claimed to know the net worths of federal employees during an Oval Office visit yesterday. Not salaries. Net worths. Now how exactly did he get his hands on that information? The White House won't say. www.huffpost.com/entry/musk-t...

“Who the hell voted for Mr. Musk?” Paul Begala raged on CNN. “Who the hell voted for — excuse the phrase — a guy who calls himself Big Balls? A 19-year-old kid going in there and trying to fire cancer researchers and scientists and teachers and agricultural specialists. It’s, it’s appalling.”

The lack of coverage, the lack of outrage, on this profoundly disturbing incident, is perhaps an indictment of who we are. The French far right are more upset than Americans? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

SCOOP: Sam Mraiche, owner of the firm that imported meds from Turkey, is a part owner in two private surgical facilities that last year were negotiating deals with inflated rates compared to competitor, according to documents www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber... w/ @alannasmith.bsky.social

I am trying to imagine the reaction of Joe Biden or Barack Obama had spoken to a Republican governor in this way at a public event. I just can’t. None of us can.

From @theathletic.bsky.social: Canada's 4 Nations win is bigger than hockey. Under immense pressure, the Canadian team delivered for their nation. As Prime Minister Justin Trudeau posted: “You can’t take our country — and you can’t take our game.’’ nyti.ms/4k5Qw3r

When you consider that the men who orchestrated the gutting of reproductive rights knew it’d kill untold numbers of women and nevertheless worked really really really hard to make sure those rights were taken away and those women killed, I’d say they should definitely be seen as having a body count

The waste is coming from the White House. 👇

Great 🧵 Have a read Nothing short of a Public Inquiry will the answers ABs need and deserve

Remember that Pierre Poilievre has voted against every single measure to help Ukraine 🇺🇦.

Under President Biden’s leadership, inflation was decreasing. Under Trump's economic malpractice, it's increasing. This isn't rocket science.

Today PP charged $1,750 to meet him. Carney didn't charge $1,750 to meet him. vm.tiktok.com/ZMk7gecDq/

Looks like the U.S. constitution was effectively repealed via exec order. Americans, how are you feeling?

How can there be a man in our government so destructive and we just sit back and accept it? I don't care what party you're from if you don't see this destruction there's something wrong with you. If you don't see the corruption, retaliation, retribution and lack of law.

Pierre Poilievre signals plan to extend government subsidies to right-wing media websites The federal Conservative leader says he would change Canada Revenue Agency rules designating which media outlets are eligible for government funding

Purging all of the non-partisan civil servants to replace them with apparatchiks. This is how Stalin cemented his power.

Trump and Musk’s efforts to shrink the government have left the country’s wildland firefighting force unprepared for the approaching wildfire season. One federal employee likened the funding freeze to a “massive sledgehammer” hitting the force.

The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston is temporarily closed after Elon Musk fired members of its staff.

It’s a conundrum. 🤷‍♂️

CALIFORNIA: Federal funding cuts to the U.S. Forest Service are raising concerns in #PlacerCounty about whether there will be enough resources to prevent wildfires. www.cbsnews.com/sacramento/v... - CBS Sacramento #CAFire #Wildfires

Great. 🤦🏻‍♀️

If Joe Biden said this, the entire Republican Party would be yelling about Munich/1938/appeasement, & it would prompt nonstop front page headlines about whether he was mentally unfit to be president.

"You should have never started it" -- Trump to Ukraine, which very much did not start the war

Brazil is charging Bolsonaro for trying to destroy democracy. In the USA, Trump led a coup attempt — and he’s currently residing in the White House. One country is confronting fascism. The other is sleepwalking into it.

The USDA's announcement comes while the Department of Energy is scrambling to find the federal workers who oversee our nuclear weapons stockpile who THEY accidentally fired. Imagine how many people Trump/Musk fired who they're not gonna realize they needed until the body count starts climbing.
