The tax scams in the United States have been going on for decades, and we’re the ones who pick up the slack not just in the percentage of what we pay according to what we make but also in the tax breaks corporations get.

In case anyone thinks that after the tariffs were called off (for now) Canadians have gone back to normal? Yeah, no. We saw several signs outside of businesses along Hwy 4A saying "We're not for sale" plus some uncomplimentary terms for Trump. And this was the sign at the restaurant we stopped at:

NIH doesn’t just support infectious disease research—it drives breakthroughs in cancer, childhood diseases, heart disease, diabetes & more. Thanks to NIH, we have: 💉 Cancer immunotherapy ❤️ Cholesterol-lowering statins 🩸 Insulin for diabetes Investing in NIH = investing in life-saving discoveries.

Sounds like @rcdewinter.bsky.social is reading many of our tea leaves and writing the results. I concur.

Exquisite work from Dan here, #auspol.

Donald Trump fired the independent watchdogs, the inspectors general, of at least 12 major federal agencies tonight so he could install his sycophants. Vile.

Today, Grace Tame has become the voice of Australia! 😇

I think it’s very important for Republican women to know that Pete Hegseth’s accuser is a married mom and a highly respected Republican aide, who went to the police immediately after the assault. They still don’t believe her. Your fascism will not save you from their misogyny.

Murdoch & his sycophantic cronies hve got a fkn nerve constantly foghorning the abc & govt funding is “welfare” News Corp haven’t paid a cent in tax in Aus & haven’t for a long time. News Corp are the definition of welfare recipients via what they avoid paying michaelwest.com.au/newscorps-fo...

Wildfires are burning in California and instead of passing aid for them, MAGA Reps in the House like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Mike Collins are too busy trying to rename the Gulf of Mexico. Vile.

Clearly, if the LA fire was not caused by climate change, it’s God punishing America for electing Donald Trump - by burning down the source of America’s power and influence which is its culture industry.

House Republicans have introduced legislation to repeal the $35 monthly cap on insulin costs for Medicare beneficiaries. VILE.

I know I keep screaming this into the void but just because climate change isn’t the *only* factor contributing to an extreme event doesn’t mean it’s not *a* factor. Literally nothing on Earth is unaffected by the changing climate.

Just in awe of how many people and businesses are pulling together to help those who lost everything. I love LA. 🥹 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

How many dance teachers does it take to change a light bulb? Five! Six! Seven! Eight! What’s a Lego’s favorite dance? Square dancing What’s a mystery writer’s favorite dance? The twist. What’s an egg’s least favorite dance? Break dancing. What do ghosts dance to? Soul music.

Also, it is NOT TRUE that Karen Bass cut the LA fire department. She is being Blake Livelied by the right. Share the truth. Do your part to make sure it gets around. www.politico.com/news/2025/01...

🤮🤢🤕🤮

i burn in the anger of betrayal as i contemplate the destruction of all we once held sacred in a future in which lies and betrayal will be our daily bread poisoned by those who care for nothing but that which serves their perverted ideology in the sad end of a once-bright dream ~ RC deWinter

Law and order have disappeared just like decency in this country!!

Hi, I’m God. I support diversity, equity and inclusion. I do not support uniformity, injustice and segregation. Hope this helps, God

I’ll just leave this here.

Happy Caturday all . Lots of rain and wind today means one thing, lots of knee time from purrents , at least that’s my plan anyway . Have a top day all 🧡😺 #adoptdontshop #acatforeveryhome #rescuecat #caturday #catsofbluesky

Dear god, but if there is one thing on which the whole world can agree it’s that Bibi Netanyahu is an irredeemable piece of shit.

It is utterly absurd to claim anti-Israel bias in the ABC. The polar opposite is true. Our public broadcaster goes out of its way to frame this decades' long colonisation and slaughter as a war of 'defence'. It sacked a journo for daring to approach this truth. Upside-down world.

www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11... This is terribly sad news. Terrifying that our kids can die from unwittingly drinking contaminated alcohol. Deepest sympathies to her family
