Via @lalegault.bsky.social:

Tweet from Yipeng Ge 葛义朋, reading:
“Statements like this will be displayed in Nakba museums. Documenting the war criminals who sent arms to Israel to commit genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, while completely erasing Palestinians in their statements.”

In response to a tweet of Mark Carney, reading:
“Congratulations to President Trump for his essential leadership and thank you to Qatar, Egypt and Türkiye for their tireless work to support the negotiations.”

He’s awarding the biggest contract in Canadian history to America. He is considering giving the Trump admin a huge stake in our critical minerals, he is passing an egregious border bill to satiate him & surveil us, he eliminated the DST, all while tariffs remain. How did you come to that opinion?

I know there are people who say that Carney is caving to Trump. For me, Carney knows how to psychologically deal with Trump (as do many others). Effusive flattery in public with Trump, and tough negotiating behind the scenes with his people.

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.

Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”

When life-long Taylor Swift fans are telling you they have never clocked racism in her music before, but now are, you listen and if you remain in the fandom, you demand better.

Your leaders want you to accept uncontrolled Covid-19.

Your leaders want you to accept negligence and denial.

Your leaders want you to accept repeated infections.

Your leaders want you to accept mass illness and excess mortality.

Your leaders want you to accept collective destruction.

Tonight in “war ravaged” Portland… a frog brigade standing guard outside the ICE facility.

Trump says there’s “nowhere worse than Portland”… and the frogs magically multiply.

They’re showing that he’s not only a liar, but Portland is still safe, still weird and still full of people resisting.

Three people in frog costumes stand outside the Portland ice facility at night. They’re holding a sign that says frog brigade

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

Watching Calgary mayoral candidates very obviously reading verbatim off their notes on @ryanjespersen.bsky.social's show. Seriously can't take this anymore. STOP READING YOUR NOTES LIKE A ROBOT, ELECTION CANDIDATES. It's a waste of everyone's time. Be a human being.

When Canadian Press reporter Wolfgang Depner asked Rustad if he was paranoid, Rustad said no. While the scrum was still underway Rustad’s chief of staff, Brad Zubyk, called it a “bullshit question” and said the reporter would be barred from asking questions in the future. thetyee.ca/News/2025/10...
