Their arrogance and self-importance are disgusting...not to mention the ignorance. They don't run the world.

Rep. Derrick Van Orden: "I'm disgusted with the Nobel Peace guys. They gave Barack Obama the Nobel Participation Trophy and they refused to give this to Donald Trump with his amazing accomplishments."

Thanks. Canadians must come together to call out misogyny.

Thanks @geoffypjohnston.bsky.social for an excellent interview with @cathmckenna.bsky.social

It brilliantly describes how misogyny isn’t a side issue but a major one that impedes progress.

“We will have to hold some media companies accountable,” @cathmckenna.bsky.social said of online hate & misogyny. “There are no controls, because these large U.S. companies, run by billionaire tech bros, use algorithms to amplify hate.” www.thewhig.com/opinion/run-...

‘Run like a girl’ to defeat misogyny

Catherine McKenna is busy these days fighting the good fight on behalf of women and the environment.

Now with #AltText

A black background has white text at the top that says “amphifa.” Two flags over each other, common antifa flags, have a black flag and a green one. An image of a green frog facing left with a blue ascot sits on the black flag. Circling the flags is the text, “amphibians against fascism.”

Thanks for this. Easy to read!
And thanks, Ms. Proudfoot for truth telling.
Does this mean thatPP may be challenged in his leadership review?

This well-written article is both amusing and deadly accurate as she exposes just how ludicrous Poilievre's outlandish and uber-partisan claims really are, my favourite passage:

"Mr. Poilievre, in other words, is getting perilously close to blaming Mr. Carney for the weather."

In no uncertain terms, Ms Proudfoot in today’s @theglobeandmail.com justly calls out petulant piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre for the lies he tells about who’s at fault for the challenges 🇨🇦Canada faces.

Trump and Hegseth give Qatar an airbase in Idaho and Qatari pilots will be flying jets over American airspace. Their lavish gifts and personal business deals with Trump worth billions really paid off for them.

Fact checking the CPC and Poilievre is a full time job.

The fact that none of our news organizations do this is ridiculous.

There should be a ticker on every session of the HoC live that fact checks claims made.

The truth isn’t partisan. It’s the truth. Start telling it.

You know what fascism looks like? Attorney General Letitia James getting criminally indicted on literal trumped-up charges by the criminal who she fought to hold accountable for the actual crimes he committed and is now using the full power of the US govt to seek vengeance.
