Hey if you’re in comedy or enjoy watching it in LA, consider calling the HaHa Comedy Club in North Hollywood and telling them to fuck all the way off for hosting a Proud Boys show.
Greetings! There is a comedy show headlines by Gavin McInnes at HaHa Comedy Club in North Hollywood in a few minutes. Security is quite noticeable; there’s one with a metal detector.

1st, I don’t think one can do this outside of a polling station. This should be considered voter intimidation
2nd, imagine walking around like this thinking you’re cool by flying a hate flag? That's a special kind of idiotic and despicable behaviour that has no place in our country

#poiLIEvre wants to be the first in Canadian history to use the notwithstanding clause to override the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Not in an emergency. Not as a last resort. But as a campaign promise.
Let that sink in. This clause was meant to be rare. Extreme. Unthinkable.

A murderer in church.
His sins are unredeemable.
What do you think he prays about? (If at all)
Because of Putin, millions of Ukrainians cannot go to Easter service - we have curfew, and Russia destroyed or damaged hundreds of churches, killed almost 70 priests and pastors.

Maybe we should honor the women who were real astronauts.
From left to right are Shannon W. Lucid, Margaret Rhea Seddon, Kathryn D. Sullivan, Judith A. Resnik, Anna L. Fisher, and Sally K. Ride. NASA selected all six women as their first female astronaut candidates in January 1978.

For decades, UC Davis stood tall among the world's giants in agricultural research. All that changed amid an overhaul of the federal government as the Trump administration froze funds, closed down labs and shut out scientists' ability to secure grants for future research reut.rs/3YyJ2Ng
Trump funding freeze upends agricultural research at US universities
From its earliest days in 1906, when the University of California secured a small stretch of fertile soil in the state's Central Valley, a quiet promise took root - that this place, originally called University Farm, would someday grow mighty.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Poillievre can disavow responsibility for the Rebel News hooligans, but it’s his rage farming that has gotten us here.
Look inside yourself, Conservatives, regardless of your policy preferences. You can’t believe this is what Canada needs right now.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position.
You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

My mom helped run a Social Security field office for most of my childhood. The population that these locations serve is overwhelmingly disabled, elderly, poor or some combination thereof. That’s who they’re looking to deny services and resources.
NEW: Elon Musk’s team has descended on an already understaffed Social Security Administration, which now faces further workforce cuts and closures of vital local offices. The consequences could be significant for millions of the most vulnerable Americans.

Ford is uniquely unqualified and unsuited to be a leader for this moment. His years in office have been defined by shortages — a lack of homes, doctors, teachers, jobs, skilled workers, subways, buses, and bike lanes. #Opinion

According to the Mentzelopoulos lawsuit, she was told to fire critics of the government. Allegedly, the government was also trying to identify online critics.
