Big Oil Is Abusing the Law to Silence Water Protectors; It Won’t Succeed www.commondreams.org/opinion/big-...

I want a president who is tougher on Putin than he is on Harvard.

If we’re serious about more efficient government and better everyday life in America - which we all should be - that means actually improving government, not cutting health care for poor people and slashing support for veterans.

China says there are no negotiations with the U.S. over tariffs. #cdnpoli www.ctvnews.ca/world/trumps...

I think America can no longer function as designed. There are no effective checks and balances, and every day freedoms are either being denied or muted. Your only power card left is civil disobedience. Your labor is your power and your voice=National Strike.

Our cover this week.

The Trump Administration deliberately doxxed the wife of Kilmar Abrego Garcia by posting her home address publicly on X. Now she and their 3 children have been forced into hiding for their safety. This is not politics. This is targeted cruelty. 1/

"This is classic Trump. You create a crisis, then you say, well, actually, I'm going to back off, and the crisis is over, and you end up with yourself and the country worse than before you started." @theprospect.bsky.social's Robert Kuttner explains Trump's on-again-off-again tariffs.

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh 🇨🇦 says about Pierre Poilievre. “He's not serious. He wants to import Trump style chaos into Canada.” #cdnpoli

US federal judge now basically describing US government as dishonest in its dealings with the court. That this description is not surprising does not take away from how extraordinary this moment is, and should be. This is what a constitutional crisis looks like, played out in real time.

I remember the time where blackmail used to be a crime... 😏

So the dream here is that Americans have a lot less disposable income and work physically demanding jobs, while Chinese factory workers get to be management consultants with luxury SUVs and holiday homes? I can see why this idea is appealing to someone, just not sure it's Americans.

There’s only one funeral that the world is really looking forward to . . .

•••••BREAKING••••• Army Gen. Michael Erik Kurilla — who leads U.S. Central Command — used a secure U.S. government system to send Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth classified information regarding Houthi attack plans that Hegseth promptly turned around and leaked on his personal phone via…

"Farmers want him to be careful in any trade deal with Donald Trump. They were let down by the Conservatives' appalling trade deals & worried that a bad US deal could see American agribusiness undercut them" Ed Davey raises his concerns over a potential US trade deal at #PMQs.

Publishing the nationalities/ethnicities of criminals will not serve any purpose. This is another wedge issue, another right wing talking point, which has been adopted into the mainstream discourse. I can see them being selective with which figures they choose to publish and highlight.

Canadian Labour 🇨🇦 - "We combed through the records and found that Poilievre has voted against workers over 500 times. One throwaway line about workers doesn’t undo that record. It’s not a slip-up, it’s a strategy. Poilievre’s platform shows he’s determined to leave workers behind." #cdnpoli

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did.

Russian drone strike on a bus full of people in Marganets, Dnipropetrovsk region: nine people killed, 30 injured. People were going to work. Russian strikes on Ukrainian civilians do not stop.

⚡️ 'Ukraine ready to negotiate, but not surrender,' Deputy PM says amid strained peace efforts. Ukraine will not accept a peace agreement that would give Russia a chance to regroup for further attacks, and sees a full ceasefire as "the necessary first step," Deputy PM Yuliia Svyrydenko said.

Love Tim Walz.

Not every number is a phantom. Pierre actually has about 20 billion in counter tariffs in there as offsetting revenue, small problem though, Canadian consumers pay for those. He's hoping you don't notice. His followers certainly won't notice but the rest of us are smarter than them. #cdnpoli

Liz : Don't mess with me ..I killed the Queen JD : Hold my fucking beer....

ICE abducted a man with a learning disability leaving a hospital after a medical emergency asking for help. They didn’t care that he was a U.S. citizen. They just lied and said he wasn’t. This isn’t “border security.” It’s white supremacy. popular.info/p/us-citizen...

What is happening.

These five insurance companies are propping up the fossil fuel companies wrecking the planet A new report has exposed the five worst insurance companies have got around $6.5 billion invested in destroying the planet - never mind what they've got in Israel's genocide www.thecanary.co/uk/news/2025...

In addition to a baby bonus that will barely cover the cost of a crib, have you considered paid family leave, affordable childcare and universal healthcare?

89% of world’s people want stronger action on climate but mistakenly believe they're in a minority 69% willing to contribute 1% of their income to the climate fight, & more than 50% in all but a few countries, but believed only a minority would also be willing www.theguardian.com/environment/...

When Tony Blair became Prime Minister he promised to lead the first ever government to end child poverty. Looks like Keir Starmer is set to lead the first ever Labour government to actually increase it www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

These are the indicative estimates of Russia’s combat losses as of April 22, according to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

President Trump should not be given the privilege of addressing our Houses of Parliament. He has forfeited this privilege because of his denial of democracy. If you feel the same way please write to your MP and say so. members.parliament.uk/FindYourMP

UK charities warn of record high child poverty if two-child benefit cap not scrapped. £3.6bn would lift 350,000 children out of poverty, reduce poverty for another 700,000. Govts that bail out & subsidise corporations can eradicate poverty. Ditch the Tory policy. Tax the rich. Save the future.

Two headlines in the New York Times today.

In the clearest departure from the U.S. political class, Pope Francis wrote that “it is absurd to permit the continued exploration and expansion of fossil fuel infrastructures." Published June 2, 2023:

Bridget Phillipson claims tackling child poverty is why she entered politics Labour is choosing to keep the cap (responsible for 350,000 kids growing up in poverty) & is slashing benefits which will drive another 50,000 kids into poverty. Phillipson clearly thinks we're idiots.

Time to take out TRASH!!! #BoycottTesla #DumpTeslaStocks 🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮

As a person who has studied history, an autism registry is a five alarm fire.

Morning Bluesky! Have you cancelled a planned trip or move – holiday, work, short-term or long-term – to the USA? Fancy chatting to me about for a piece? @ me or DM if so, especially if you’re located in the UK. (RTs much appreciated too).

Really sinister how the US state apparatus is stopping collecting information about some things and starting to collect information about others.

Donald Trump has thrown up a tariff wall around the US. Now, the EU is being quick to step up and cast itself as the heavyweight liberal trade bloc that is open for business.
