The day after the election I stayed in bed. I wasn’t sure what I was going to do. Maybe just slink into the shadows.

The next day I woke up and said “Let’s kick some fascist ass.”

That was fast. 😂

I just hate fascists. 🤷‍♂️

I don’t have it in my DNA to slink back and let them win.

She's exactly that, and has her place firmly in history as one of our better angels.

I don't believe he's ever been happy, and that's what he's compensating for. At our expense.

And the more frustrating thing is that this should have happened before the fullscale invasion ever happened.

Same in Canada. We pay through our taxes for everyone to have healthcare.

The US model of for-profit healthcare serves nobody except a bunch of greedy middlemen, bent on denying people healthcare.

You nailed it. And your birbs are smarter, and far cuter, than they are.

Charlie Angus is always wonderful.

Only a small but noisy minority in Alberta want to leave Canada. They're thrilled to have their moment. Smith is happy to amplify them, to deflect attention away from what a disastrous leader she is.

I used to love Ben & Jerry's for their excellent ice cream and their activism.

Until this take on Ukraine. Now, the brand can go suck rocks.

The Kyiv-based Center For Civil Liberties was a very worthy recipient. It should be only the beginning for Ukraine.

He's champing at the bit to do it, and any excuse will do.

It's all part of P2025, and seizing all power, while they - his regime who are the power behind his paper-thin persona - can.
