Massive #NOKINGS protests over the weekend attended by millions. In other, minor news, #Trump had his little military parade. Poorly attended & made him look like a small, tin-pot dictator. People have the real power. Trump is just a cheap, attention-seeking, incompetent, dotard. There, said it

Apparently the Oilers are playing against the Panthers AND the officials. Infractions ignored if Florida makes them, but any touch is called on Edmonton.

Hmmm... A protest, very peaceful. Why is the military called in? Trump using troops to stop peaceful protest? Looks like Trump is getting advice from Putin. abc7.com/videoClip/16...

And the best thing about this? If we hold a massive peace march, #Trump will get so pissed that everyone is doing that instead of watching his stupid military parade. And we wouldn't want to piss off Trump, now would we?

There was no excuse for Trump deploying the military to LA Trump wanting to play tough guy. This is theatre. How do we know? They are using old footage and trying to pass it off as current. #StopDictatorship #StopTrump

Trump says any protesters who "spit will get hit". Certainly saw that tough of protest attitude during Jan 6 attack on the captal Trump let all those guys who beat the Capital police out of jail Scott free!

This is all political theatre. There was no violence on the streets in LA before the military was called in. This is called manufacturing dissent. Get people riled up by shooting tear gas and rubber bullets. Then film them getting angry. Then use those images as excuse to call in more military

#Trump says he doesn't want any protesters to spoil his military parade on June 14th in DC. Sure be a shame if there was a massive peace #parade on the same day and no one showed up to watch lil' Donald's tanks. #RemoveDonald #NoKings

Chemistry, it's a super power

How the fuck does Trump have the gall to say that protesters wearing masks is illegal, but it's A-OK for ICE to be anonymous. These are not the actions of a free democracy.

Inexcusable violence toward the press. The fascism detector just spiked.

Almost as if Trump is trying to start a civil war. Let's hope American soldiers opt to defend the constitutional rights of the people instead of following the orders of a mad king.

Is #California Trump's test case? To see how America reacts to troops in the street. #Trump says he's zero tolerance for violence. Until the flashbangs & the tear gas, there was no violence. California, if the US is turning on you, why not join #Canada? #Cascadia #11thprovince #Elbowsup #resist

When I warned if #Trump go re-elected, we'd see the military in the streets, people said I was alarmist. Now, it's reality. This is how freedom dies, people. You may say, it's just immigrants, they're not coming for me. When they get around to you, & they will, who will be left?

Another right-wing fallacy exposed. They were not cutting waste, but valuable programs that benefited people

Yesterday #Trump claimed Biden was dead in 2020 and replaced by a robot clone. In my book, the minimum qualifications for someone to have the nuclear codes is to have a firm grasp of reality. The crazy shit is clear evidence Trump should be removed for mental incompetence

For years I thought this song was expressing Led Zeppelin’s love for a girl called Olive.

Gentle soul, very social, great companion. She would meow to have a chair pulled out to join us at the table. This weekend a diagnoses of advanced cancer. She was 16. I stroked chin as her sweet heart stopped. I lay her small head upon her paws like she was sleeping. Farewell dear Lucy. 💔

Trump is threatening to raise steel and aluminum tariffs again. This will harm #American manufacturers more than #Canadians. Cheer up, Americans, you can always move your plants to #Canada. No #tariffs on steel, and no tariffs to trade with the rest of the planet. Tell #Trump to stuff a TACO

Highlight an #Canadian product a day. Maybe you thought there were no more Canadian large appliance makers. Well, we not only make appliances, we make some of the coolest looking appliances you can get. #ShopCanadian #BuyCanadian 🇨🇦 uniqueappliances.com

Highlight a #Canadian product a day. You might have thought Canada doesn't built large home appliances. You'd be wrong. We build some of the coolest looking appliances made. #BuyCanadian #ShopCanadian 🇨🇦 uniqueappliances.com

#Trump 's attack on the best #universities, on foreign grad students, is really an attack on expertise & future innovation. This undermines what #America used to do best, attract the best & brightest. Now this talent is going to Europe, Canada, & Australia. Trump is destroying America's future.

#Ukraine just launched a devastating attack on Russian military strategic aircraft, planes that launch drones on Ukraine. Funny, #Russian drone attacks seem to go after Ukrainian apartment buildings, hospitals, or markets. Says a lot about values & war aims www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4If...

Breaking: There was an attack on demonstration in support of Israeli hostages in Colorado. Several people were injured seriously. Not minimizing & I condemn this attack But, also note today over 30 Gazans lining up for food @ aid station were shot by Israelis. Which attack is covered by US media?

Every dollar you give #Amazon is a dollar not spent in your community, not supporting your local business, not flowing into your community's tax base. What does #Bezos do with the money you give him? He flies expensive vanity rockets to take rich assholes for 11 minute rides to space. #ShopLocal

Heroes want to build a great nation and a strong united Canada. Only cowards & losers want to break it up. I'm #Alberta born, and I love my country. As a 5th generation Canadian, I'll fight all enemies, foreign and domestic, who want to take down #Canada. #CanadaStrong&Free #Abpoli #Canpoli

The billionaires have pushed #workers out of jobs so they can get tax breaks. You can push people only so far before they say, "Enough, I'll bend no further!" Everyone should watch John Ford's "The Grapes of Wrath" Is it provocative, stirring and anti-authority? You bet it is! #Resist #RiseUp

It's what every young #hockey player dreams of when they lace on a pair of skates. It's what #Edmonton players have worked & fought for through all 82 regular season & 16 post season games. A chance to play for Lord Stanley's Cup. Congratulations & good luck #Oilers This is our year! #StanleyCup

So, what is really behind Trump's attack on Harvard? Is it because Harvard didn't accept Trump's son, Baron? It would be so Trump to attack a school for personal reasons such as that. www.providencejournal.com/story/news/p...

In #Canada we have ambitious goals for the coming years. Reducing trade barriers among provinces is surely something we can achieve most quickly. Let's #GetItDone! 🇨🇦 ✌️

This #Steampunk picture was done by #LeeHadwin Most unusual. He creates his #art while sleeping. In waking life, he can't draw. But, often he will awaken to find he has created an astounding artistic work in his sleep. He's selling them. He's literally earning money while sleeping

No way, really? They actually have #steampunk welding helmets? Very cool! I mean hot... you know what I mean.

Highlight a #Canadian company a day. #ElbowsUp #BuyCanadian🇨🇦 Dark Woods roasts their own coffee, brews their own craft beer, & even has a Taproom where you can enjoy both as well as getting some great food. Not to be missed if you're traveling through central #Alberta on your #discoverCanada tour.

‪ Each day more people in #Gaza die in continual air raids. The entire population is at risk of starvation. I cannot think of this without it reminding me of earlier atrocities like the Warsaw ghetto. In fighting the monsters, #Israel herself has become a monster. #StopNetanyahu #FreePalestine

After #Trump's last call for a cease fire, Putin cynically rained down record number of #Russian drones upon Kyiv. When is Trump going to realize that #Putin is laughing at him, disrespecting him? Putin is the obstacle to peace, not #Zelenskyy. www.cnn.com/2025/05/19/p... #SupportUkraine
