Are fascist dictators a good look for a Nobel Peace prize? How can anyone fathom Trump being worthy. He is destroying the foundation of US democracy.

Canadians are with you. It is impossible to accept that there no GOP members who will finally stand up against this insanity. The party of Lincoln is dead.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

A very encouraging project that should inspire other municipalities to not only restore, but protect sensitive ecosystems.

Creatures buried in soil for over a century burst back to life in Toronto waterfront

A project to restore coastal wetland leads to astonishing discoveries of a host of life: seeds and plant scraps, as well as water fleas, worms, larvae and plankton

This is so exciting. We need more of these kind of projects in Canada. Nature is incredibly resilient, despite our constant threat to sensitive ecosystems.

Pritzker is annoying some Dem officials because of his "sharp elbows and penchance for the cameras." Translation, let's allow Trump and his cast of fascists take the country without a whimper.

Nichols taught at the U.S. Naval War College for 25 years. If military leaders fail to push back, all is lost. The apparent inability of the Dems to stand up against Trump's aim to have the military obey him over the law terrifying. This is the final bulwark.

Of course they do. The PC's are scrambling to appeal to the angry, disaffected among us. They tear down rather than build up.

Finally, Jefferies is getting agitated. If only all Dems would stand up and start screaming from the rooftops. Time is running out.

Hakeem Jeffries came to play today as Lawler tries to confront him: "You’re not going to talk over me because you don’t want to hear what I have to say so why don’t you just keep your mouth shut."

Trump is begging people to hit the streets so they can use real bullets. He is itching to impose the Insurrection Act.

This is how the MAGA crew roll. Make threats against people who stand against making threats. The cognitive dissonance runs deep.

Henneypenny 🇨🇦.bsky.social @henneypenny2020.bsky.social · 3d

Whiny, negative, no constructive plans. All he does is trash Canada. MIni MAGA.

Years ago, Paul Watson warned that the last 10% of fish stocks remained. This is not a sustainable source of protein. It is also cruel and destructive.

I wonder if that is a blip due to Elbows Up. The coastal First Nations will not stand for the rescinding of the tanker legislation. Eby is pushing back.

Smith is dreaming if she thinks People in BC will stand for removal of the tanker ban.

"As the rights and titleholders of B.C. North and Central Coast and Haida Gwaii, we must inform Premier Smith once again that there is no support from coastal First Nations for a pipeline and an oil tankers project in our coastal waters." -- Marilyn Slett. www.timescolonist.com/business/alb...
