Luigi Mangione, accused of killing the UnitedHealth CEO, was back in court on February 21. Hundreds of supporters packed the courthouse and the streets outside.  Read more from @miasato.bsky.social on the ground: www.theverge.com/law/617946/l...

So much corruption. So much danger on our roads heading our way.

By accepting Trump’s anti-Black premise and regurgitating the narrative that equates anything Black as DEI, the NY Times has become part of the propaganda machine

I'm so glad America sent 100 large armed men to protect America from four small unarmed women by knocking over their car. Freedom!

The Canadian establishment that lost its mind over a protest passing by Mount Sinai hospital has been entirely quiet over a Canadian company selling Nazi T-Shirts for the English world's most famous, out Nazi. I wrote about this and asked the question: why? noraloreto.substack.com/p/instrument...

We are already at the ‘purging the generals and replace them with loyalists’ part of the Trump second term, just five weeks in. Totally normal. Not dangerous at all

Yep

A new Western coalition is forming outside NATO and the EU to grapple with the implications of Trump’s upending of the global order. I hope it forms into something more concrete and combative.

A heartfelt thank you to former Senators Joe Manchin and Kristen Sinema for repeatedly blocking popular policies to preserve “norms” and protect “the rights of the minority” We couldn’t have gotten here without you

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

Automakers tend to charge thousands of dollars for driver assistance tech in their vehicles. Now BYD is starting to include it as a standard feature, making it much harder for competitors to justify charging an extra cost.

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

SCOOP: Sam Mraiche, owner of the firm that imported meds from Turkey, is a part owner in two private surgical facilities that last year were negotiating deals with inflated rates compared to competitor, according to documents www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber... w/ @alannasmith.bsky.social

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.

The archetects of the US government are full blown and open Nazis and still media dance around this as if it's not clear. And in Canada, when our spy agency says that the antisemitic threat comes from the far right, CBC manages to blame Muslims and Palestinian activists: bsky.app/profile/did:...

They’d have to fire half the industry. Seems unwise

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

Condé Nast management will start requiring employees to be in the office 4 days a week on 3/3, allegedly to make us more productive. Yet for months, many of us have gone without desks, often being forced to work from the cafeteria, HR floor or hallways.

Scientists need to face the reality that this is not some temporary funding crisis while a bumbling administration sorts out their priorities. This is an intentional assault on academia by accelerationist extremists who wish to break society. Fascism must be met in the streets.

Canada annexes 4 Nations Championship

One of the first targets here will almost certainly be blocking the mailing of abortion medications like mifepristone. If I'm right, it'll be a the biggest blow to reproductive freedom since the repeal of Roe.

Trump just deputized unelected billionaire Elon Musk's private bodyguards, giving them rights and protections reserved for federal law enforcement. Are people still afraid to say the word "coup?" www.cnn.com/2025/02/20/p...

Doug Ford's Campaign Is An Insult To Ontario youtu.be/XeiArff6FkQ

"Shopify selling Nazi merch doesn’t allow the police state to deepen itself, and so it’s far less interesting to people in power — antisemitism be damned." My latest at Substack.

Doug Ford Claims There Are ‘More Cranes’ Building Homes Than Ever Before. Actually, The Number of New Home Builds Has Decreased Under Ford. There were 74,326 housing starts in Ontario in 2024 –that’s 25,000 fewer than the peak in 2021. pressprogress.ca/doug-ford-cl...

When academics, scientists, and (I assume) the national parks and forestry people are forced out of their jobs there aren’t really other equivalent jobs for them. These firings end careers and dreams and research and talent

Exciting news from Zeteo! Former Congress/Squad members @coribush.bsky.social & @jamaalbowmanny.bsky.social will be launching a new monthly YouTube show for us. 'Bowman and Bush' will spill the tea on what really goes on inside of Congress & the role of big money & special interests. Trailer:

Stop these flights and stop arming Israel.

After that plane literally flipped upside down after smashing into the runway and 100% of people survived, I hope every person who ever said “what’s even the point of seatbelts on a plane” feels like a real doof.

🧪 If I were Canadian PM I would immediately: 1. Create a new $15B science fund 2. Offer any credentialed US scientist funding for lab startup and replacement of NIH grants if they move to Canada 3. Immediate permanent residency 4. Citizenship after 2 years Overnight a science superpower

On this Day of Remembrance, we honor the 120,000 Japanese Americans unjustly imprisoned during WWII because of their heritage. Their resilience remind us to never forget the lessons of history. We will continue to fight for justice, equality, and civil rights for all.

1. The Senate confirmed RFK Jr at the same time as a massive measles outbreak was sweeping through areas of Texas with low vaccination rates. RFK Jr visited Texas yesterday. Not to address the burgeoning crisis but to continue to push anti-vaccine messaging.

Meet the Canadians who support U.S. annexation: this 42 year old accountant sucks shit

In South Carolina, tonight: “I have an ectopic pregnancy. It’s on my ovary. They’re making me risk my ovary even though I don’t want to. They refuse to do the surgery.” #ForcedBirthNation Original Post: www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2yCKENt/

Struggling to follow the Ontario election? Thank Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg I wrote about how big social media platforms and their mysterious, unregulated algorithms are manipulating public discourse, suppressing voter engagement and degrading democracy for @thestar.com 👇

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

I was electrocuted, beaten, stabbed in the leg and starved after being captured while defending my home and family in Mariupol. We held back Putin’s invasion for several weeks while Russia slaughtered over 25,000 predominantly Russian speaking Ukrainians including women and children.

"Republican Sens. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Dan Sullivan (Alaska), Jim Moran (Kansas) and Steve Daines (Mont.) were all co-sponsors of this law. None responded to requests for comment."

If you wonder how countries slip into dictatorship, it’s like this. Amidst another flurry of news, an official adds at the end that Trump has signed an Executive Order saying that “only the President or Attorney General can speak for the US…as to what the law is.” What?! 👀
