This didn't age well.

illegal war started by a man constitutionally ineligible to be president

World War 3 kinda sucks, but you know, it was either this or pronouns

Multiple Texas farms shut down overnight after they lost almost all of their workforce! #cdnpoli

Take note.

There’s a trend on Iranian Instagram where they’re taking last photos of their homes before they evacuate Tehran. Remember that Iranians are people with hopes, dreams, worries and fears just like you and I. Remember they lived lives similar to ours before the war.

The guy Doug Ford says deserves a medal was implicated in a Ponzi scheme. Classic "fun uncle" Doug!

ICE agents in tactical gear chase down and tackle a U.S. citizen in L.A. After realizing he’s American, they just slink away. Their only explanation: “Why were you running?” Probably because two masked men with guns were trying to snatch him.

"The media continues to cover politics as if it is still the 1990s. 'Both parties are basically center-right or center-left parties.' The journalism infrastructure in our country wants to pretend that that’s the world that we live in. The instinct is to treat everything politicians say as valid."

We’re #1!!!

SLJ, always speaking raw truth.😑🥰🙏🏽

If you’ve got a badge and a gun but think your actions are shameful enough to need a mask, you should quit.

On Juneteenth and forever… Honor, don’t bury or whitewash the history of our ancestors who were lynched. (National Lynching Memorial in Montgomery, Alabama)

While the orcas are sinking yachts, the humpback whales are blowing bubble rings--like, smoke rings, but, you know, bubbles: 🧪 (Click through for videos.)

I'll say it over and over. I do not believe in gate keeping. I do not believe in pulling up the ladder. I believe in kicking the wall down like the Kool-Aid man, and making room as I go for those who come next. Just because it was hard for me, doesn't mean it has to be hard for anyone else.

After COVID-19, we saw a rise in anti-women and anti-LGBTQ2SI+ hate on social media. Social media is globally generated, so infiltration of hate into Canada is guaranteed. We as Canadians must fight this hate as vocally as possible.

It's Juneteenth. Major corporations have stopped pretending to give a shit about Black folks celebrating this holiday. Support a Black person in need today. We're all we got, us humans. Much love, y'all.

If we did socialism (they would not do this willingly) we could make all housing public, cap rents at five percent of income and make housing a human right. Just an idea.

At 92, Willie Nelson was moved to tears after an eight-minute standing ovation at the 2025 Outlaw Music Festival in Phoenix. Thousands chanted “Forever Willie,” honoring the legendary singer with a powerful outpouring of love and gratitude. #BlueCrew #ProudBlue #BlueCircleFamily 💙💙

"Mr. Speaker, it's a little bit rich for the opposition to be talking about leaders who don't buy groceries while they have a leader who's in subsidized housing, not buying groceries." #cdnpoli

“‘Word got out that there were Homeland Security vehicles parked at the hotel. … People wanted to express their 1st Amendment rights and they did so in a lawful, nonviolent and respectful manner.’” apple.news/AjfQZ8rVTTxW...

As if the House version of the abominable “Big Beautiful Bill” wasn’t bad enough, the Senate version is an enormous transfer from people with low & middle income to people with high incomes," the president of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, told Axios. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/s...

I'm friggin loving her, tho. Even though the deflection queen 💄💋 is working it hard! 👀

Sayed Naser served as a U.S. military interpreter in Afghanistan. Now he’s being deported. The Taliban assassinated his brother and kidnapped his father. All because he helped us. Why are the feds trying to deport him, even though his asylum case is still pending? Not justice, it’s a betrayal.

"Peace president."

The at home assassination of a state lawmaker should be getting a bigger reaction from the President than someone throwing a rock at a Tesla dealership.

Here is the LAPD telling ICE to GTFO of Dodger Stadium. The only reason they came was to start a riot. What they got was the boot. More of this, California.

This is very true.🇨🇦💯✅️ We must act.🍁

5 things about Canada that don’t make sense elsewhere… 😂 gooseses 😂 #Canada

Juneteenth is the perfect moment to remind everyone of two facts: 1. Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. 2. Those who prevent history from being taught are plotting to repeat it. Read this out loud. Read it again. Then teach it to your kids.

The best moment I have seen in the HOC in a year. Call them out on the grift.

NOEM SHOULD RESIGN

HAPPY JUNETEENTH

The takeaway from the Tucker Carlson Ted Cruz interview is that the American public has been so badly cheated for so long by the people pretending to be the political media that when anyone asks a basic follow up that an 8th grade schoolpaper reporter would it feels like cutting edge journalism
