He/Him (because respect). RT≠I agree. I don't always get it right, but I'm open to learn. Pls pardon typos and such due to fat fingers + bad proofer.

Canada: Premier investigated for conflict of interest for publishing a children's book US: President selling cryptocurrency named after him and endless merch with no consequences

There's hundreds of replies and quote tweets to this which mostly try to make the case the people behind it are secretly fascists, as if this campaign is a mask-off moment. The guy behind it is a well documented neo-Nazi. There was never any mask. Sorry, there is no bridge left to cross.

this rich asshole in st. louis pointed a gun at some protesters and become a right wing celebrity overnight. conservatives were so enthralled by a guy who threatened to kill liberals that he got recruited to run for senate and raised over a million bucks in individual donations

"... she said." Lady, you voted for a child rapist. Stop looking for absolution.

Powerful image from @fairvote.ca. Your vote matters.

These basic tech errors must be a hell of a green light to foreign intelligence agencies. Starting to think the reason no one will admit who runs DOGE is because it’s my mum. The leader of the free world’s VCR light is blinking.

they voted for harris, because rural voters are not a bigoted monolith despite what you've been led to believe. but even if they didn't? they'd still deserve fucking mail service

“They want an arrangement that perpetuates racial inequality indefinitely while retaining some plausible deniability, a rigged system that maintains a mirage of equal opportunity while maintaining an unofficial racial hierarchy.”

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

If CBC & NPR are going through the trouble - I want to hear more about what impact of the Trump regime has on people's lives and what are the people going to do. Stop fixating on comments from the admin, led by a notoriously unreliable liar, who just repeats things that get a rise out of people.

“A reminder to believe nothing you see or hear on CBC.” Because if you did, they’d keep the power to hold Pierre to account for the things he says and does! And god forbid anyone does that!! Chickenshit, autocratic rhetoric from a guy who keeps boosting bootlicker media

This guy wants the AfD to win in Germany. He wants Pierre Poilievre and the CPC to win in Canada. I don’t know about you, but given the devastation and fascism he’s doing everything he can to create in the United States and beyond, I wouldn’t vote for someone this guy likes in a million years.

💥The Netherlands' largest pension fund, has sold its shares in Tesla, Meta, and Alphabet (Google). The fund with US $569 billion equivolent in assets is "directing more money to companies and projects that help to improve society and the environment." #Divest www.reuters.com/markets/euro...

If CBC were Polish, in 1935: "With Chancellor Hitler repeating his desire to annex Poland, we feel it is important to talk about. Even better, for Germans to hear our voices via Nazi SS radio that will be simulcasting." #cdnpoli #CBC #NPR

This was me… my old phone without sim got it. My new phone with dual sim didn’t.

delicious. bud walked right into that yard of rakes.

Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

Firing all of the JAGs (Judge Advocates General)—the top lawyers in each service branch—is just as bad as, if not worse than, firing (most of) the Joint Chiefs.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

I’ve been researching this topic for a decade We’ve had Canadian and international evidence that for-profit delivery is MORE COSTLY So we can confirm this (again) in Alberta For-profit costs more: investors must profit from our tax dollars

I remember reading about a measurable genetic difference in empathy that is different for conservatives compared to people who aren't, the implication being that they are unable to process emotions/perspectives related to events they haven't themselves directly experienced. I think about that a lot.

Yep

They're shedding their skin. It's normal. The truck under there is way stronger anwyay

If you look at all the firings across the government over the last two weeks it's frequently been taken as a given that any black or woman official or officer is either a DEI hire or supports DEI and is summarily fired on that basis. Seems like the same model here.

i worked with jik for several years, and i would be ecstatic if you boosted his story enough that it gets under Musk's skin! it's your patriotic duty to make him say some stupid shit about veterans

why am i only learning this today?

Next week begins what I believe will be a big 30 days for the newsletter/Better Offline. Monday's story is a monster - a joint podcast-newsletter generative AI nuke. A surprise Better Offline guest in mid March. The Aftermath episode. Jamie Loftus and Phil. I wrote 8500 words in the last two days.

This alone should be grounds for terminating Ontario’s contract with Starlink immediately.

It’s not meritocracy. It’s DEI for white people.

even if the recipient of this email were ambivalent about musk, opening with a line that concedes a compliment just reads like capitulation or calculation.

Awful news too for residents. A decade ago Burnaby had two vibrant newspapers. The two Burnaby reporters are top notch. These pubs should still be viable with current subsidies. This is a major business failure.

This is astounding. It shows Albertans paid double - sometimes triple! - for surgeries at private surgical facilities connected to friends of the UCP than through AHS. And the Premier’s staff & Health Minister allegedly pressured & then fired the CEO of AHS when she asked questions about them.

That is some delusional thinking…

Okay - that just makes me think... "Something has changed within me..."

Another great #TeslaTakedown picket sign

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

This is Nichols reverting to type, albeit based on extensive declarations from Peter Marocco, a J6 insurrectionist who never faced charges and who now essentially runs the remnant of USAID for Trump.

So my old phone - which doesn't have a sim card now - got an emergency alert... but my new phone didn't.

Shorter: I voted for him because I wanted him to hurt other people. Just not me or my people. The others. The others, only.

Just a reminder that Trump is an embarrassing loser who freaks out like little crybaby when anyone stands up to him.

Earth shook and I wonder if my property insurance is gonna go up a notch.

If it’s gone on a beat longer, I’d get under my desk. But is the cheap IKEA desk gonna save me? Or this reminds me to take an account of all the stuff I have for insurance claims in the future.
