'This morning, Israeli forces massacred 70 Palestinians and wounded over 300 more as they gathered for food and aid in Khan Younis, with the death toll continuing to climb. Nearly 400 have now been killed in aid massacres since the U.S. and Israeli-backed "distribution" system began in late May.'

The NY Supreme Court has ordered a hand recount for the 2024 presidential and Senate races in Rockland County. The lawsuit alleges significant voting irregularities in the county, including statistical anomalies and missing votes for Democratic candidates. If proved true, here we go, MAGA mess.

In case you missed it, the United States is at war with Iran alongside Israel. This is all closer than you think. #uspol #War #fascism

Always read the fine print.

Toxic hockey fans are out of control! Chloe Skinner, wife of Oilers goalie Stu Skinner who lives in Edmonton, talks about receiving constant death threats to her and her kids. I'm sure she's not the only one, too. edmonton.citynews.ca/2025/06/12/s... #yeg

Code Ninjas is the opposite of Hot Ninjas which is the opposite of Mild Ninjas which is the opposite of Spicy Ninjas which is the opposite of Fitset Ninjas.

Donald Trump: Protests against abuse of power "constitute a form of rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States," and justifies sending "at least 2,000 National Guard personnel" and "any other members of the regular Armed Forces as necessary" to shut down such protests.

I want everyone to know that I am going throigh a lot.

You fight for a zygote, but cheer when a child is ripped from a mother‘s arms by ICE. Tells me everything I need to know about you.

340 employees at the National Institutes of Health penned a scathing letter to agency Director Jay Bhattacharya, objecting to the termination of over 2,000 research grants and the cancellation of over $12 billion in grants and contracts.

Amazing how hard it is to write: “Police shoot at journalists.”

@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."

There’s obviously a lot going on right now, but the Speaker of the House calling for the Governor of California to be tortured seems like it should be a pretty big story.

Public Citizen on Monday published an open letter signed by 6,000 medical professionals admonishing the Trump administration’s cuts to health agencies and the Republican plan to slash Medicaid in the current spending proposal. The health workers wrote, “We are certain this will cost lives.”

George Takei (who was rounded up with his family into a Japanese-American internment camp during WWII) said this in 2020, and now the US has been living it since 2025. #uspol #fascism

Pro Tip: put the soap on your scrubber, not your dishes. It's much more effective (cleans better) and efficient (uses less soap).

Stay safe out there, Edmonton! Please wear a mask on your commutes today, with at least a PM2.5 filter! Especially those on bikes, scooters, or walking (including transit) but not only those using active transportation. Autos get air from outside, too! #yegbike #yeg #yegwx #Wildfire #wildfiresmoke

For All Mankind is hilarious

Human Rights Watch has called out Canada 🍁 for the elimination of the Ministry of Women and Gender Equality. And The Lemkin Institute, the foremost experts in the world, has called us out for our complicity in genocide. What are we doing here? Who are we anymore? #Canadasky #cdnpoli
