A new website created by about a dozen federal employees, called “We the Builders,” aims to be a secure outlet for government workers to share stories about how their workplaces are being impacted by DOGE, and a place to explain the real-world impact of its access to government tech systems.

While waiting to turn left in Lougheed this morning, I witnessed a 1990s sedan driving by with a Canadian flag affixed to the roof. I smiled at the sight of it. I'm so grateful we have our flag back now. 🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦

I think “you can’t take our country and you can’t take our game” should be incorporated into a kick ass Canadiana tattoo that we all go get. Every one of us.

Here come the “town hall no-show’s”. #Wisconsin wisconsinexaminer.com/2025/02/21/r...

I have to say I find the sexism of people's opposition to Pam Bondi grotesque. Not only is it sexist, but it leads you all to wildly underestimate her.

It's been so run through pop culture as to seem almost corny, but I need you all to understand with the deepest seriousness available to you that the "First they came for..." thing was to prepare you for this exact moment

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

I know it’s been treated as a sideshow but Musk’s insane breeding fetish, the high likelihood that his actual number of children is far, far higher than known, and the fact he has effectively abandoned almost all of them is actually one of the most damning things people can learn about the man

For those at the back…

Have you noticed the press is not calling this the Trump-Vance administration? Don’t let Vance escape your attention, even though he isn’t making headlines—he’s still dangerous.

"The crowd again started shouting “tax Elon,” “tax the wealthy,” “tax the rich” and “tax the billionaires.” " www.lagrandeobserver.com/news/local/r...

let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”

Listen to @radiofreetom.bsky.social! "Now that Trump has captured the intelligence services, the Justice Department, and the FBI, the military is the last piece he needs to establish the foundations for authoritarian control of the U.S. government."

@adamserwer.bsky.social nails it here--the real goals of the attack on DEI. Read and share. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Love to see it!

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

200 million dollars of waste.

This is resistance.

Nailed it.

@cbcqueenspark.bsky.social Could you please spread the word to other CBC reporters to join Bluesky, and post their links on the CBC website, so we can thank and share info with them. It would be nice to be able to keep in touch. Thanks.

The family values party.

lol once a cable news host, always a cable news host. leaning into something he actually has experience doing.

There’s something happening in this country.

STATEMENT: “This Is The Move Of A Weak And Insecure Tyrant, Not A Strong Commander-in-Chief”

This is key: If we want to beat Trump, we must talk about impeachment until it gathers public support and becomes a Big Thing. Failing to talk about it, as Dems think is smart, means it will never become a Big Thing.

Trump was willing to stand up there for a few minutes to pretend to care about black history, but hugging the guy was a deal breaker.

Due to legal technicalities, Luigi Mangione is now the mayor of new york city

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

Per @scaramucci.bsky.social: “He just fired the Joint Chief of Staff. Wants to install a puppet. For those who think that he is contemplating leaving, they don’t understand what happened on January 6.”

I don't think we're talking enough about the fact that the pressure to remove DEI from science means women die.

“You’re willing to risk our entire network to a 17-year-old? Are you for real right now?” That teen is "Big Balls" Corisitine, the recording is from 2022, and the voice is from a CEO worried about him as a security risk. Now Musk has him snooping in your personal data www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

It’s not just Space X. Musk was able to save Tesla because of a loan from the Dept of Energy. Here he is in 2013 filled with gratitude for the federal agency & the taxpayers who saved his business. From reporting by @puck.news. airmail.news/issues/2025-...

People i know who had a Tesla have sold them. Nobody wants a Tesla now

Let's be very clear that Pete Hegseth absolutely has his job because he is a white man.

Angelo Carusone the President of Media Matters shares on my show their new report that found Fox News has featured Trump admin officials on air 124 times in first 30 days--that's 4 times a day. Fox News is the US version of pro-Kremlin media that amplifies Putin's propaganda

" ... there is no reason why any country or business or person who seeks to support democracy, the international order, a humane social order, or a society in which the average person has a fair shot at a decent life, should do business with any of Musk's businesses." Doug Ford - NO to Starlink.

WaPo Page One: “If you’re going to just yell at me, that’s not going to be an effective town hall,” McCormick said .. “But we’re pissed!” a woman shouted. #GA07 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The most notable thing about this clip from the president's address to the governors is the way Maine Gov. Janet Mills stood up to Trump. And the second most notable thing is the absolute stone-faced silence from the other governors in the room. www.c-span.org/clip/white-h...

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

WATCH: “When will you stand up to them and say that is enough?” WISCONSIN Republicans Grothman & Fitzgerald run into tough town hall crowds also 👇🏽👀

oh boy -- Rich McCormick bailed on CNN after his ill-fated town hall

This is how it’s done.
