Welcome to the USA of 2025, where condemning genocide is deemed antisemitism and can get you deported, but building concentration camps and calling bankers ‘Shylocks’ doesn’t get condemned by the news media at all.

Yet another reason not to visit the States. RFK Jr would like lots more people to die a slow and painful death, apparently.

Mahmoud Khalil is finally home with his beautiful wife and newborn son.
Each one of the 104 days he spent detained was a grave injustice.
From the moment of his detention, @ccrjustice.org + @aclu.org engaged my office as we worked closely to help secure his release. They did remarkable work here.

Strange times my friends, strange times. Since when was it cool to swim in sewage? Kennedy is a nutbar of the highest order.
We strongly advise the public not to do this, it’s unsafe. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. posted photos of himself and his grandkids swimming in Rock Creek, a Washington waterway so contaminated with sewage runoff that swimming has been banned citywide for over 50 years.

Absolutely proud of you all! HUG! So far, 3.1 million protesters counted today — that’s nearly 1% of the U.S. population! Photos are flooding social media everywhere. Still waiting on more numbers to come in.

Now I know I’m back in Canada participating in the English National Trust’s #blossomwatch — and we are barely emerging from winter over here. But I can share some snowdrop love, as they have finally arrived here!

Two stories today about different people wrongly thrown off Social Security, one marked dead, the other seems to be because he was born outside the U.S. on a U.S. military base.

Things reaching crisis point for more and more folks. Further and further behind in real terms and yet working harder and harder.
The wages of the richest 1% have skyrocketed 182% since 1979.
Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth.
Trickle down economics was always a hoax.

I love the advent of Spring, and an added bonus is it’s finally warm enough for the neighbourhood cats to come out for a frolic and I’m here for it!

THIS.
CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.
Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

What a whiner. Honestly how lame does your life have to be that you’re cut up about some f*%king straws?? Make some cellulose straws people, pretend they’re plastic, they won’t know the difference, and everyone can move on.
Trump announced that he plans to sign an executive order next week to end the promotion of paper straws as an alternative to plastic ones. So much for the sea turtles.
