Today vote Olivia Chow (#9) for mayor. In Toronto Centre vote Curran Stikuts (#108) for Councillor. So much is at stake. Affordable housing, transit, drinking water, safety, night life, parks, etc. Bring your friends and family as well! myvote.toronto.ca/home

In 1972, a group of Harlem Renaissance cultural icons gathered at Duke Ellington's house. The afternoon was captured on 16mm film by William Greaves, but the footage remained unedited in a vault for 50 years until David Greaves restored his father's project, releasing the documentary it 2026.

I have been praying for this kind of pushback from Democrats against Elon Musk for a long time now and I am thrilled that the Talarico camp is leaning into it. Light. Him. Up.

Team Talarico@teamtalaricohq.bsky.social

NEW AD: Have you seen these anti-Talarico attack ads? Elon Musk paid for nearly all of them. The world's first trillionaire knows if he drags the most corrupt politician in Texas across the finish line, Ken Paxton will owe him everything. Elon Musk: Texas is not for sale.

It's going to take years to clean up the mess left by the Doug Ford gang. 970,000 acres of lost farmland will never be recovered. But, if the RCMP actually do carry out an *irreproachable* investigation of the Greenbelt scandal, we *may* recover rule of law in the province. #ONpoli #corruption

I know no one gives a F about safety or the law when the province is involved - but those workers & police should be wearing PPE for this work. Did they cover the catchbasins? Did they warn residents to close windows? The city would never get away with this. www.gazzolapaving.com/files/employ...

TPS is going to have one hell of a WSIAT file for respiratory issues. At least we slowed them down tonight. It ain’t over till it’s over. And it‘s never over.

Goes to show we can just build fast and do whatever the fuck we want if we really wanted to without years of environmental assessment, studies, and consultation. Imagine if we put the same energy into housing, high speed rail, renewable energy, etc,

Gil, as a founder of 8-80 cities this is extremely dissapointing. You're supporting a candidate who voted to cut TTC service, raise fares, & has committed to remove bike lanes. Do you truly support building a city where 8 year olds & 80 year olds can thrive if they have poor transportation options?

Gil Penalosa@penalosag.bsky.social

Why I am supporting BRADFORD for MAYOR of Toronto. Because Bradford listens. Evaluates new information, and if necessary, he changes opinion. Which is what good mayors must do. Chow? Not much done past 3 years. Future? No ideas. No bold projects. Wasted opportunity.

In 2025, a majority of S&P 500 CEOs made more in 1 day than the median US worker made the entire year. Meanwhile, the median US worker would need to work 43,154 years to earn what Trump made in 2025 thanks to his crypto scams & various grifts. When I say the system is broken, this is what I mean.

We are witnessing the disgraceful attempt by the United States to make Ukraine break so that Vladimir Putin can declare victory in his disastrous war. Donald Trump is an open puppet of the Kremlin. The United States political, legal, military and media establishment are along for the ride.

Amid the Bloor West bike lane removals, it is important to remember that right-wing “bikelash” isn’t just an Ontario thing Far-right parties in Spain, Sweden, Alberta, USA, etc. are removing/rejecting/defunding bike infrastructure as an attack urban residents and to prop up fossil fuel corporations

Doug Ford’s war on bike lanes isn’t about traffic—it’s part of a global right-wing backlash to vilify urban residents and defend fossil fuel interests. @desmondcole.bsky.social reports from the frontlines of the showdown in Toronto. breachmedia.ca/doug-ford-bi...

The province knew that what they are doing is going to kill cyclists so they pre-emptively passed legislation in bill 212 that appears to prevent cyclists from suing for damages for accidents resulting from ripping out bike lanes. If you want an example of appalling, murderous cynicism…it’s Ford

Before Citizens United, the top 15 political contributors spent just $15 million on the midterm election. Now, the top 15 have spent $962 MILLION. That's up 6,400%. THIS is why our system is so rigged. We really, really have to end Citizens United and tax the rich.

Figuring out why Ossoff is so effective is an interesting task. I think he's mastering a kind of stern dignity that is uniquely compelling in contrast to the clownish cruelty of the other side. I think the other person who's kind of hit on the same thing is AOC, though in a different register

My entire life I've heard centrists scolding leftist candidates with "oh, but how will we pay for all that? isn't your agenda unreasonable? shouldn't we run on a modest proposal for means-tested tax rebates?" Then Mamdani gets elected and makes it all look pretty easy. No wonder they hate him.
