HERO ! ZERO !

Russia has lost billions of euros in oil revenues. We need to cut the flow of cash to Moscow's army even further. Because we want this war to stop, and this war will only stop if the pressure is there. Joint press conference at the Weimar+ meeting in Rome ↓

Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

Religion screws up again.

Some good things are happening in rural Alberta and this is one of them. Last night’s coal town hall in Fort MacLeod drew many impassioned voices and this was one of them. Bringing the science to an evidence-adverse government. 👏🏼 👏🏼

Not at all surprised. Conservatives always have a hidden agenda and it always includes private health care and private schools and leaves the majority of Albertans out in the cold.

@clpaxx.bsky.social Mike Johnson Claims That God Prepared Him to Be a “New Moses” Is this what God had in mind??⬇️

It can happen here. It is happening here.

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

Shame on PP for not attending the Pride flag raising ceremony  vm.tiktok.com/ZMSyJcbnu/

ABC News has cut ties with its senior national correspondent Terry Moran after he posted that Stephen Miller is a “world-class hater” who “eats his hate.” Kudos to Moran for having the courage to speak the truth — and screw ABC News for not standing behind him and backing his right to free speech.

Our biggest issues—healthcare, housing, environment, cost of living—are all tied to how we vote. As long as politicians cater to swing voters in a few competitive seats, real solutions won’t come. Proportional representation is key to a democracy that works for everyone.

Rename your rag PravdaUSA and be done with it.

CA Gov. Gavin Newsom: This is about all of us. This is about you. California may be first, but it clearly will not end here. Other states are next. Democracy is next."

Guessing PierrePoilievre wasn't there. Oh right, he's not an elected official. Hahahahaha

Every major Dem politician needs to realize that, in this environment, they can schedule a "speech to the nation," like Newsom did, and get tons of media coverage. Just do it.

Each day he's absent from the House since Parliament reopened, his relevance fades, as does he. Bye Poilievre. Bye Ana! #cdnpoli

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Oh.

Former Member of Parliament who was recently fired from his job and still wastes taxpayers' money calls on elected MPs to be fired for wasting taxpayers' money. #cdnpoli

Just window dressing by a gov't that's going ahead with coal mining no matter what we say.

This Canadian F1 fan would rather nepo-baby Stroll not race at all. His behaviour and attitude are embarrassing. Aston Martin will never gain credibility with Lance at the wheel.

youtube.com/shorts/m736m... HOW DO WE GET THIS MESSAGE OUT TO THE MARINES - YOU ARE BEING INSTRUCTED TO FOLLOW AN ILLEGAL ORDER - AND YOU SHOULD NOT! PLEASE POST THIS FAR AND WIDE. ‘FOLLOWING’ ORDERS IS NOT A DEFENCE! YOU WILL BE CHARGED AND COURT MARTIALLED WHEN THIS IS CHALLENGED!

Gene Wilder would have been 92 tomorrow. When I think of Danielle Smith and Alberta separatists, I am reminded of this line from Blazing Saddles: “You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons.”

Good morning friends. This kid is spot on 👏🏼💙

And the majority of those suffering are children I don't know what it will take to get through to people in rural Alberta They're so hooked on Smith's rhetoric that they can't see what an awful job she's doing #ableg

Apparently ICE rented a hotel in Pasadena then got kicked out because of protesters. Is there a way to find out in advance where they will stay? Would it be legal to make calls to every hotel in your city in advance letting them know that if they house ICE, they will go out of business?

A Premier threatens First Nations with infrastructure funding unless they support a law that violates treaty rights. This is what happens when one man rules with 43% of the vote. Ontario needs proportional representation. #ONpoli globalnews.ca/news/1122855...

@greenhousemd.bsky.social

The collective silence of the former Presidents right now is unnerving.

Start with them.

Build an air filter Corsi box for less than $100 to clean the air in your house if Covid and smoke.

More Cdns need to wake up to the perverse values Cdn Conservatives have.They're anti-LGBTQ2S, climate change deniers, for private health care & education, anti-science, vax deniers -the list of Conservative hate-filled values is endless. And don't believe their muted anti-Triump rhetoric.It's a lie
