Dawg they Freedom Fried us, it’s so over

Oh yes, Homer’s famous “Tes Thdpssssps.” 👍🏻

i’m just photoshopping muppets onto the cover of harper’s bazaar: thread

Several good things are happening according r/fednews so I am going to drop them here. If federal workers are fighting back, how much more us? A thread/

The reply email inbox for this “what did you do last week” email is [email protected], so, you know, definitely don’t send them any unrelated messages that would interfere with their ability to carry out Elon’s dumbass bullshit

Elon Musk is a bandit. And Doug Ford just signed $100 million deal with him. Meanwhile he and Trump are trying to crush the people of Ukraine. Doug Ford says it's the "best bang for the buck." No Doug, this is what vichy collaborators do. Slava Ukraini

“…as a foundational element of Canadian culture, [CBC has] a public responsibility to fight [Trump’s annexation threats] with extreme prejudice at every opportunity they get.” #CBC #Canada #CanadaSky 🇨🇦 #cdnpoli #TeamCanada @ianhanomansing.bsky.social #Alberta #yyc #yeg cultmtl.com/2025/02/cana...

Albertans are slowly waking up to the depths of the scandal enveloping the UCP government. A lot of folks are wondering how to explain what's going on to people who haven't been tuning in. Here's the what, so what now what, and what's next of the situation. 🧵

Canadian media: Stop normalizing Trump’s 51st State propaganda An editorial by @taylornoakes.bsky.social.

NEW: A couple days ago, Breakdown host Nate Pike announced that he was being court ordered to wipe the Alberta politics show from the web as part of a libel lawsuit from a well-connected Alberta businessman. This development should concern all journalists. open.substack.com/pub/theorcha...

Canadians on here actually being like "I can't believe how bad things are getting in the US" without acknowledging Alberta just passed some of the harshest anti-LGBTQ+ laws and are about to vote Doug Ford back into power. Wakeup because the far right are in inside the building

The Government of Canada needs to shun Twitter and the cancer it represents. There are better, more democratic options. If you agree, please share. 🇨🇦✊ #Cdnpoli

Trump's lawyers are absolutely flailing in the courts right now

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

1. What is Edmonton Public School Board doing to ensure Edmonton Police don't assign bad cops as SROs, like they did before? Recently it was exposed that one, Sgt. Mark Coates, was an SRO, now suspended w/out pay, &, reportedly, told stories about how he “would choke... www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

I really wish Americans would stop treating the continued existence of Canada as the sort of thing they can do amusing thought experiments about.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

“Let them suffer the consequences of their actions.” I see this so much in my mentions, often from anonymous accounts who could be bots or ops for all I know, but whatever they are, they are trying to normalize a false bifurcation. If “they” are suffering, so are people you consider to be “us.”

NAACP lists companies that dump DEI in its tactical spending guide for Black Americans

Some federal employees who accepted Trump’s buyout offer are now being notified that their buyout has been denied, and they are being terminated instead.

CBC News, Ian Brodie is a "Former Harper Chief of Staff" and Conservative Party of Canada stalwart. It would be nice if you actually made it more clear to your viewers that he's not just a Ucalgary professor. #cdnpoli #abpoli #cbc

This is probably the most accurate take.

I woke up today and realized why, apart from narcissism, Trump gutted and took over the @kennedycenter.bsky.social board. He’s going to use it as his main stage for jingoistic spectacles of “patriotic history” during the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence in 2026. Brace yourselves.

This seems relevant today given the current events happening in the states! #Canadastrong #nevervoteconservative We can do this Canada 🇨🇦

For those Democrats who are waiting for public opinion to change, you can stop now.

It’s not strange when you realize that some large percentage of the country *wants* self conscious evil bc their highest priority is hurting the people they hate.

For some reason, I keep thinking about how the Emperor Tiberius (the emperor who crucified Jesus) renamed the Sea of Galilee "Lake Tiberias" after himself as part of his brutal repression of the Jews. Renaming things is a powerful form of colonization and oppression of subject populations.

I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky

Delete Shopify - the CEO thinks we should give Trump what he wants. We don’t need “Made in Canada” far-right tech broligarchs. Their “Build Canada” is not about Canadian security and solidarity, it’s bullshit. #NoPoilierveforCanada #Poilievresellingoutcanadians #NOCONTRRUMPALLIANCE #voteliberal

Alberta is a crime scene.

THREAD: I’m going to share this thread here to clearly state my perspective on electric vehicles, car dependency and better cities, for all those who frequently ask me about it, including media, elected leaders and many others. Here goes. Please share it frequently if you think it will help. 🧵#EVS

Four days it took her to say anything. And then she says … she will do nothing.  Not good enough. Her own office is implicated. The investigation can’t be delivered to the people being investigated. How dumb does she think Albertans are? /1

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

This Friday, The Fifth Estate on CBC has a feature on the Valleyview Library and the difficulties they're having with the local TBA people, Diagalon and such - book banning, harassment, and more. I hope everyone will watch... #libraries #Alberta #resist
