It still kills me that these assholes couldn’t wear a mask during COVID to save their grandma’s life, but they seem to manage just fine while kidnapping people off the street.

Misogyny is core to the American fascist project and feminism must be core to its opposition.

Any person in uniform wearing a mask and refusing to be properly and reliably identified should be assumed to be the same kind of murderer we’ve seen in Minnesota.

We drill into military officers that Members of Congress have Constitutional oversight rights, Members outrank four-stars in protocol, and even Congressional staffers are treated like generals/admirals. To see sworn federal officers manhandle and handcuff a U.S. Senator... I'm still shook up.

House Democrats need to bring articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem, while Senate Democrats need to bring that chamber to a fucking halt.

i've been trying to see what the right wing platforms (even outside of X) are showing people regarding the protests in LA and i am not sure it can be overstated just how much the AI slop is being used to reinforce the idea that downtown is a post-apocalyptic war zone

If Gen Z really wants to dunk on millennials, they should learn about Foursquare and go around saying stuff like, "I hear you're the mayor of this Panera Bread."

Elon threatening to just leave people on the ISS is making a pretty good case for why you nationalize your space program!

Québec, the Canadian province with the most exhaustive and expansive rent and vacancy controls, has built more rental units in the absolute and per 1000 than any other province in the past 40 years. Exemptions apply only for 5 years after construction.

Yep. It's not possible to understand politics today, much less predict future trends, without recognizing that a large segment of the population lives in an alternate reality increasingly untethered from the real world via nonstop right-wing propaganda on every issue.

This brand of “soft eugenics” is usually just called “eugenics”. They’re not trying to have the “clever” breed, they’re focusing on white people while RFK Jr. and friends actively cancel grants focusing on diseases that disproportionately affect Black people

This seems to be the correct answer. The dads idolize men like Trump and the sons follow their dads. We are looking for a “crisis” among young men but i think its actually middle aged men who have gone insane because many of us never really grew up bsky.app/profile/maxk...

Wow. Incredibly disappointed to learn that @adamvaughanto.bsky.social has been hired by Therme to try to convince people that the giant glass environmentally disastrous private spa on public land at #OntarioPlace is a good idea. Shame on you, Adam Vaughan.

It's clearly a political, not a public health decision. "CBC News has repeatedly requested an interview with Dr. Kieran Moore, the chief medical officer of Ontario, within the Ontario's Ministry of Health, & Dr. Sunil Sookram, Alberta's interim top doctor. Neither have been made available." #OnPoli

The Bouie thesis that a huge number of Trump voters simply project whatever they want onto him is basically a scientific law at this point.

Just hilarious, crazy statements untethered to any possible version of reality. What would retailers have planned for? The first partial tariffs, the all-world trade-deficit based tariffs, the subsequent China-focused + 10% revision, the various partial climb-downs… or what’s coming this week?

People who are disaffected by LIB policy tend to break CON if they blame the wrong things and NDP if they blame the right things. I voted for @lesliechurch.bsky.social because i think the Liberals and @mark-carney.bsky.social have handled the looming threat very well, however -

So you’re saying we could solve all the financial problems of 379 million of us and impact just 19 households. What an interesting fact. Fun little bit of trivia.

It seems like in BC particularly, people thought strategic voting meant voting Liberal even in strong NDP ridings, thereby splitting the vote and giving it to Cons - which is of course the opposite of strategic voting. Unless they just loved Carney that much?
