But fracking will be good for Nova Scotia according to part-time Tim and his Paradise Papers Pals #NSpoli #NofrackNS

In a new lawsuit filed against Trump by state AGs, a family with a trans kid shares she died by suicide last month citing fears Trump would deny her access to gender-affirming care. "Her parents have expressed fear...that what happened to their daughter does not happen to other children."

PM Trudeau in Kyiv pledges army vehicles, seized Russian cash on anniversary of invasion The new $5B in funds is the first instalment of revenues from frozen Russian assets. #Canada #Ukraine www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

Canada is a land of treaties. The US administration does not understand this. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Canadian artists are boycotting the important @sxsw.com musical festival in Texas.This is an unprecedented show of force by Canadian artists. Texas Governor Greg Abbott said Canada was going to be taught a lesson. Greg consider this a teaching moment: your state is an enemy of democracy and arts.

“Nothing matters other than the question of whether or not we let the billionaires destroy our democracy. There’s a ticking time bomb inside our body politic right now. It’s very possible this thing could be completely rigged by the summer or fall of this year.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/u...

~The letter is signed by 67 individuals including professors of virology, immunology, pediatrics& infectious diseases, among other specialties. They say the UCP should publicly renounce the report, stating it inaccurately reflects the body of scientific evidence edmontonjournal.com/news/politic...

100000000% THIS Remember Mitch McConnell's strategy was to use unchallenged seats on school boards, city councils, etc to build a foundation of extreme right-wing power. Progressives need to do the same. This is why I donate to @runforsomething.net monthly. If you're willing, they'll help you run.

Watch Out. The Plague Years Start Now The felon has destroyed US public health with breathtaking speed. Here’s what’s coming next, and how Canada can prepare. #Canada #USA thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

CBC betrayed Canadians with this absurd call in show that normalizes trump’s threats. How do you think kids feel knowing that this conversation happened? CBC, Media: Stop helping the oligarchy, they wont help you.

Yesterday I ask you to write for us, today I ask you to 🌷😍join us🌷😈! We're looking for someone to support our digital + social media work, with flexibility on hours etc. Come help us panic post about the climate crisis (+ much more), it will be great. Message me with any questions!

3yrs ago, almost all Western embassies evacuated from Ukraine, & many saw Kyiv's fall as imminent. But Ukraine stood its ground, thanks to the immense courage of ordinary people. Today, world leaders are in Kyiv. It may feel dark,but don't despair--act! russia should be defeated.

If “cold-blooded” was a human… Nothing screams “patriotism” like cosplaying as ICE to terrorize immigrants. It’s pure cruelty, and CPAC is out here cheering for harassment like it’s a game. F*ck this dude!!!

"The media are aware of the manipulation": Countering Trump's spectacle begins with a press strategy: When media carry this real oppression and suffering as programming, it trivializes the harm that is being done

I don’t think people realize how pivotal this election is—not just for Ontario, but for the entire country. If Ford wins & goes through with his Starlink deal, he’s leaving us as vulnerable to coercion as 🇺🇦. (1/2) (Image by @flush-em.bsky.social)

Can Canadians say the same? Are we ready to have our lives completely changed based on the whims of an orange dictator?

From Attorney General Kris Mayes: youtu.be/jrE0DOEcbRE?...

Who is responsible for this? 🤣

This morning getting coffee in Zarautz, País Vasco, Spain, an older man was reading a local paper w/headline: “Trump fires generals and eliminates diversity from military.” Not “diversity initiatives,” diversity itself. He is purging women & minorities from senior levels of government.

Stop this traitorous show. Are you insane? We do NOT ask the putative illegal invaders how they’re feeling about killing us to steal our resources

Good. It's a trap. Trump's desire is for him to "win" and Ukraine to "lose." He cannot be trusted, and he is not negotiating in good faith.

🇺🇦🇺🇸Trump’s lies and despicable statements about Ukraine aren’t just embarrassing—they’re isolating him and the U.S. on the world stage. While he pushes Kremlin propaganda, Europe is moving on without Washington. The U.S. is now weaker and more irrelevant than ever. A thread 🧵:

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

Early in desegregation white Americans were faced with the prospect of integrating their beloved public pools with Black people Instead of sharing the space, they paved over them, destroying their joy to sate their hate All so we can keep hating Black people

Wayne Gretzky was Canadian royalty and I appreciate that even “The Great One” will no longer be tolerated for being disloyal. We don’t worship celebrity more than we prize loyalty, and that means something.

I've spent the last few years defending CBC from Poilievre's "Defund the CBC" messaging but this? This is indefensible. Why don't people realize that "Just asking Qs" is playing into Trump's hand? When even the CBC is doing clickbait about Canada being invaded, we are in dire, dire straights.

DOGE’s expenses have risen above 40 million, with weekly costs now exceeding 10 million. We will release an updated DOGE staff list soon.

If CBC won't fight for Canada, why the he🏒🏒 should Canada fight for the CBC? Perhaps CBC should stop trying to convince us that they serve to unite us & strengthen our national identity if they are going to feature voices that seek to undo us & destroy our sovereignty. This is treacherous betrayal.

The ratio is 100/100 here. Replies are unequivocal countering any legitimizing of Trump’s threats and the “I see some people are upset” pat on the head. The question now is whether @ianhanomansing.bsky.social will meet this moment and choose to do better.

I can see no rational reason to both side Donald Trump and the destruction of our country!😁

We can’t “both sides” a fundamental issue of our country’s survival from a self serving smug flatulent (probably) felon who wants to grab our resources by the you-know-what and leave the Canadian people destitute
