Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

On Friday @whigstandard.bsky.social, read my interview with @cathmckenna.bsky.social, former minister of environment & climate change. We discussed the disproportionate impact of the climate crisis on women. We also talked about misogyny, supporting women in politics, & toxic social media.

Country fans are upset with Zach Bryan after he criticized ICE in a song.

But don't let it be known that Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash all despised fascism and leaned heavily to the left.

Again Wally, go FY. This incident happened in Alberta, not in Ontario. Regardless of where it happened that driver is at fault. I hope they find them and I hope he has to be accountable for his actions. And that kid I hope she’s OK. And again Wally, FU.

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

Police in Airdrie, Alberta (just north of Calgary) say this driver hit a 17-year-old girl in a marked crosswalk, got out of the vehicle, and appeared to get upset at the teenager before driving away.

They released this video and are now trying to identify the driver.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators

Safeway wants to roll back worker benefits

Remember, this is the same company that wanted to take back raises last year that they had already paid their workers.

You work hard for every dollar you earn. You pay your taxes, but expect they’ll go toward the services & infrastructure we all rely on every day. And then you find out your money’s gone into Doug Ford’s slush fund to hand out to his friends. This corrupt government has to go.

Vaccines save the lives of children. Conversely, anti-vaccine disinformation and vaccine misinformation contribute to vaccine hesitancy, which can lead to disease outbreaks and the tragic deaths of very young children.

Immunization keeps children safe

In the age of disinformation and misinformation, many people have forgotten an irrefutable fact: childhood immunizations save lives.
