Senator Chris Murphy took to the Senate floor on Friday to break down the corruption flowing from the WH. He connects the dots, and makes a clear argument regarding who what where and why Shitler and Muskrat are destroying our govt!! This needs to be shared far and wide!! youtu.be/hycoCYenXls

As a proud Canadian-owned and operated company, we want to do our part to support Canadians. As a family we have decided to absorb all immediate increases in our costs due to the Trump-tariffs for the rest of the year to maintain our prices. We will continue to reinforce our Canadian-first policies.

There should be no foreign ownership of Canadian media. fundthecbc.ca

Elon Musk called Social Security a "ponzi scheme." This is absolute rubbish. Social Security has paid every benefit owed to every eligible American for 85 years. Perhaps the bigger "ponzi scheme" is the $38 billion spent by taxpayers to prop up his corporations?

Per @thetransitguy.bsky.social: “This is what the Cuyahoga River looked like before the EPA and Clean Water Act, btw. The river used to catch on fire.”

Trump threatened to sue journalists, authors, and book publishers who use anonymous sources. Granting certain sources anonymity is a common journalistic practice, especially when sources fear retribution.

Some 1,000 NPS employees were fired, and hiring for seasonal positions was delayed. Here's what to know about the impacts already being felt at parks, and what it could mean for the busy season.

Given that Bezos just did a full takeover of @washingtonpost.com and now it can only report that America and money are great--today is a great day to cancel if you have it, you check to make sure you aren't paying for a forgotten subscription.

The entire crew of paid, coordinated right-wing influencers all blasted out this pre-planned lie in unison last night. Rinse, repeat. I guess they think when people don’t have tax free tips/overtime in their paychecks, they might not notice. Good luck with that after you hype it.

Some sound advice:

STAY GROUNDED

Elon Musk has no authority to send emails to federal workers asking them to justify their jobs (days after he wields a chainsaw on a stage...hello?) He has no authority to fire or threaten anyone. Call your reps and tell them Elon Musk must be fired. 202-224-3121

So increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage is “socialism”? But Amazon union busting, keeping wages low, and forcing workers onto public assistance while its founder increases his net worth by $7.9M an hour is the "free market"? Perhaps this could be a WaPo opinion piece.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Elon Musk and his 19-year-olds have now disrupted the approval of medical devices that save lives. Every member of Congress bears a responsibility to stop this right now.

Sure hope so. (art by Dave Tarnowski)

Mark your calendars: March 4 Liberty mass protest in DC, on March 4th starting at noon. “We are stronger together” #3E #USprotests #NoKings #march4liberty #Mar4

Donald Trump is threatening our democratic right and values. The boycott grows and goes international. Everyone can play their part.

BREAKING: Sen. Ron Wyden sounds the alarm that Trump approves of the House budget resolution -- the only way they can meet their $880 billion in cuts is by cutting hundreds of billions from Medicaid, a disaster for millions. Make sure everyone sees this.

Call to Action #Feb22: Rally for Democracy. West Hollywood, California, February 22nd at 12 PM. #3E #USprotests

Call to action against the oligarchy and Trump. Feb. 22 @ 4PM #3E #USprotests

10,000 King Soopers workers are currently on strike for better pay and working conditions. Instead of negotiating in good faith, parent company Kroger has been using scabs and prioritized $7.5B in stock buybacks. Don't tell me they can't afford to pay a living wage.

Americans nationwide are taking to the streets to protest the Trump administration’s sweeping policies. See photos from the marches—and learn how to find one near you:

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

The choice is pretty damn clear! #cdnpoli

Exactly 😡

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.

Absolutely accurate af.

On this International Day of Women and Girls in Science, let's take a moment to remember Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin, winner of the 1964 Nobel Prize in Chemistry - at the time only the third woman to do so.

If Donald Trump attacks steelworkers in Canada, there will be hell to pay. The NDP won’t hold back—we will stand up for steelworkers! Our plan starts with dollar-for-dollar retaliatory tariffs and immediate support for every worker impacted.

This administration has convinced half the country that the real problem isn’t billionaires who evade taxes and collect government handouts but the working class who pay taxes and get nothing in return.

The top health care companies in America spent 95% of their profits to make their CEOs & stockholders obscenely rich. How many Americans would be alive today if those companies spent $2.6 trillion on disease prevention and primary care, instead of stock buybacks and dividends?

British Columbia Premier David Eby says "the last thing" the province is considering is further economic integration with the United States, as he and other premiers prepare for a White House meeting with President Donald Trump's advisers.

I think Trump would do to Canada what Putin has done to Ukraine.

This is Oligarchy. The three richest men in the world have become $196 BILLION richer since Donald Trump was elected. $196 billion for three men in 99 days. Meanwhile, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

Honestly, this guy. He’s so upbeat, so genuine, so optimistic. A bridge-builder. And this video shot in the snow is visually stunning.
