Let’s make a PROMISE. At this pivotal point of growth on @bsky.app, we will make a sincere and worthwhile effort to make this space better. And maybe… JUST maybe… we’ll all come out better too.

This government’s corruption is so blatant. The very same day Ford removed Greenbelt protections, his staff and developers who stood to profit were celebrating in a private box at a Leafs game. Ontario deserves so much better. Greens will keep fighting to put people over profits.

Yes @tylerwatt.bsky.social! Very well said! Thank you Robbing students of their education. #onted #onpoli #cdnpoli

no kings includes billionaires who think they’re kings

it means people’s Muse, Dots, OpenClaws, and other AI assistants are eventually going to be interacting a lot online, and I’d rather see them do it on open protocols with user owned identities rather than in a corporate consortium.

what the heck flappy butterfly is so hard, how are people getting such high scores?? clearly i'm just bad at games. try your hand here: savoring-proud-chime.attie.site

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...

🙄 I mean.. they are over inflated for sure. But this is a huge overreaction haha

Via the fantastic Tina Yazdani: #onted #onpoli #cdnpoli PS. I wonder why public systems don’t work 🤷‍♂️ when this is the entire MO, as soon as Conservatives get in “government”. This is reality. This is how dangerous this whole ideology is to the average human. www.thetrillium.ca/news/educati...

Harvey Touchdown!!

Is this one of the best jersey matchups we've ever seen in the NFL?! The Broncos' Orange Crush jerseys against the Seahawks' royal blues on TNF tonight 🔥

You know what “serves the interests of students”? People who dedicate their lives to serving the interests of other peoples students. You know what doesn’t? Politicians who occasionally pretend to care so they can dismantle the other people’s life’s work. #onted #onpoli #cdnpoli

This doesn’t account for the money they re-allocate. Meaning: sure funding increases, but then overall funding is manipulated so that funding that used to go to classes, goes to advertising. Or building schools they can sell. Or paying for 🇺🇸 Digital platforms. Or tutoring. Or….

Our education system is being intentionally and systematically underfunded to create a crisis. It's working. Please keep this story in mind when you hear Paul Calandra and Doug Ford talk about their govt's "historic investments in education." Voting has consequences. So does not voting. #OntEd

These are stunning numbers. And I’m someone who’s already aware of what is like in schools. #onted #onpoli #cdnpoli

Doug Ford’s next billion dollar scandal. Seven private career colleges received $385 million in OSAP grants in 2024-25, amid serious questions about suspicious activity and government oversight. I have asked the Auditor General to investigate. It’s time to fix OSAP ASAP. #onpoli

Something I’ve been furious about lately. Since COVID - make decisions and introduce law saying “we can not be sued for wrongdoing”. It’s premeditated. It’s murder. #onpoli

I’ve been told government plans to aggressively attack teachers sick leave. Roughly 95% of teachers feel this way. Maybe more. “Teachers have it too good” is a wild myth the sell you. Despite ALL the perks you can think of - 3/4 of teachers don’t think the jobs worth it. #onted #onpoli #cdnpoli

Funny thing is.. all advances it seems like we’re finally making.. could have happened decades ago. But were suppressed. Ie: EVs, sustainable energy, climate action, etc. We need to 🛑 letting the bullies dictate our future. STOP believing lies that private companies innovate. Money suppresses.

Okay fine. I will win the NFC East.

Me when my parents rented DEEP IMPACT from Blockbuster

Boooooo this field goal booooooo

This is their entire thing. Everyday occurrence. Ever wonder why they seem so relaxed governing ? Bc they have zero interest in it. 100% of their effort goes into controlling the narrative. Tina Yazdani is the only one doing the actual work, with the energy required (somehow). #onted #onpoli

After a long day at the aquarium, the otters help tidy their toys away. Payment is made promptly and entirely in ice cubes.

Ford can spin and blame the feds all he wants, numbers don't lie. Ontario's staring down a $13B deficit, record unemployment, costs skyrocketing, public services starving.

Don’t like doing this often. But this is so well put I had to put it on Bluesky also; for @raghu-venugopal.bsky.social

Most riveting thing I've seen all week

💖🤎🧡 love is love 💖💚💛

In 9 months, Zohran Mamdani has: -Secured millions in worker restitution from DoorDash and UberEats -Launched the first stage of his universal childcare program -Cracked down on bad landlords -Balanced NYC's budget without cutting major social services This is what leadership looks like.

Doug Ford likes to play “Captain Canada.” 🇨🇦 But while he talks about buying Canadian, his government keeps sending Ontario tax dollars to American companies. Ontario deserves more than words. #onpoli

I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

Happy NFL to those who celebrate #nfl

The 40-hour work week. The weekend itself. Lifesaving safety standards. Organized labor has changed our country for the better. This Labor Day, we recognize the achievements of our unions and the workers who make the American way of life possible.

The labor movement gave us weekends, 8 hour work days, and ensured that our kids can go to school rather than work. Honored to fight for unions every day. Happy Labor Day to all those who have fought for a fairer economy in the richest country in the world.
