The Trump administration is planning to detain undocumented immigrants at military sites across the U.S. It's a significant expansion of efforts by the White House to use wartime resources to make good on the president’s promised mass deportations.

“The Project will distribute up to $1m to eligible orgs across the province who are serving food and nutrition programs for children and youth in need” Great to see the feds step up for a worthy program as no child should go hungry in #Saskatchewan #skpoli #cdnpoli #Canada

At the coldest time of year in #Saskatchewan Our Premier went to Mexico for a vacay Our MP went to Ottawa for a political rally Did they use taxpayers money for their trips? Unacceptable and needs to stop NOW! #skpoli #cdnpoli #Canada

I've made this gorgeous cake by @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social before. Also, if your mouth dries up when you need to speak, just imagine biting into a lemon. You'll salivate and the problem will be sorted. It's an old public speaking trick of mine. www.theguardian.com/food/2025/fe...

Being shoved into a locker by a bully while you were minding your own business reading a standard atlas may be upsetting to some, but shut the fuck up about it loser.

Sixty years ago today, the Canadian Maple Leaf was raised on the Peace Tower for the first time. From sea to sea to sea, a new flag, uniquely Canadian, became part of who we are. (1/6)

"I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation. War is hell." William Tecumseh Sherman, who died on this day in 1891

According to Article 1 of the UN Charter threats of annexation of another nation is illegal as are the breaching of existing trade agreements. Either we adhere to the obligations we signed up for or they are worthless. #skpoli #cdnpoli www.un.org/en/about-us/...

And remember Elizabeth Warren and "nevertheless, she persisted"? Make a fucking scene. If not now, then when?

one of the strangest things about the trump administration is the aesthetic of self-conscious evil

Absolutely amazing that I can get set up in under 10 minutes, and shoot a picture in under an hour, this is M33 with quite a few satellites buzzing around 20 minutes with a Seestar S50 #astronomy #astrophotography

The royal navy has a chance to do the funniest thing ever

"the company’s elevated stock price becomes increasingly dependent on the belief that Musk the magician can deliver wildly creative new products. That image is fading." @davidzipper.bsky.social why boycotting Telsa could make Elon hurt

Whatever your politics are, calling Clarence Thomas “our nation’s all-time greatest Supreme Court justice” is just embarrassing.

Toughening up of the EU's comms around the upcoming showdown with Washington, per statement this morning. "The EU sees no justification for the imposition of tariffs on its exports," vowing to react. Tariffs would be "unlawful" & "counterproductive." Story: www.politico.eu/article/fran...

More threats which have and will further will hurt the livelihood of folks in SK and Canada. Where are our @skpoli leaders? Premier Moe? Our 14 @cpc MP's? We need leadership, not timidity and slogans. #LeadershipSK #Canada

Italy’s UniCredit said today it has built a stake of 4.1 percent in insurance and asset management giant Generali Group, adding another twist to a highly politicized battle over control of the country’s financial sector.

We should be divided. One side is cranks and criminals who want to roll back the Enlightenment and impose techno-feudalism. We should be against them.
