Mistress of Mayhem

ABDUL HQ: There are approx. 530,000 medical bankruptcies in the US every year. Every other OECD country, 0. As a 🇨🇦, this is not normal. No one should be destroyed because you get sick. Vote 💙.

More the fool I, but I really didn't imagine the current regime not simply leaning in to racism but braying it from every rooftop. Fuck RFK Jr., fuck his wife, and fuck anyone—anyone—who thinks that the Republican party deserves anything short of oblivion.

As countries meet to rescue a global nature agreement, scientists warn of a ‘dramatic weakening’ of Canada’s biodiversity protections. @sarahkcox.bsky.social reports. #CanPoli thetyee.ca/News/2026/10...

It’s a hard moment to be someone who cares about stuff like wealth inequality and the climate crisis -- I mean, look at B.C. Luckily, I have some good news for you today!! At a time when governments are all but abandoning the fight against the climate crisis, the kids are fighting for us all:

Who do I give to to get this in front of as many Michigan voters as possible?

The UCP might make Edmonton pay up to $170M to rip out its own bike lanes. I've heard reports that the UCP has been asking for costs of full network removals. City numbers put that at $150-170M This is the same gov't that just spent $130M on a glorified opinion poll.

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

We published this story late Friday afternoon amid an avalanche of news so I’m reposting it now because Kohen Wiley’s life mattered more than a box of diapers.

You don't need that Starbucks latte. 12,000 baristas have organized. They've spent years fighting for a fair first contract. They're demanding better pay, more hours, safe staffing and basic protections. Support the workers, not the corporation stonewalling them. Boycott Starbucks!

#Toronto please get this right even if you have to hold your nose. Get the heck out and VOTE!!! Please remember this is how Doug Ford got elected.

it is hard to sell how effective this was. the far right here was completely lost in the past two weeks because *nothing* of their tried and true methods to dictate public opinion and the media were working. even bot farming views to pump the algo did jack shit

If Elon doesn't interfere it will stream on HBO in January. Until then, in theaters or Pay Per view on Apple or Amazon.

between serbia, brazil, and hopefully november 3, a good reminder: voting works it’s not the end, there’s always work to be done after the vote, but if you want to beat the motherfuckers and keep them out of power: vote your asses off

This is a publicly funded government agency refusing to share weather warnings and their own public warnings with a journalist at Global News, one of the larger mainstream news outlets in Canada. I really want you to sit with the bare facts of that.

This is the biggest corruption scandal in American history. The Trump crime family is trying to sell the future natural gas rights of Alaska to the Russians in exchange for $25 billion in cash for themselves today.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

OK, but the people of BC did the actual voting and are now going to get what they deserve -- a cabal of far-right kooks and idiots wielding total power.

NEW: At least 18 voting centers in Alaska Native communities have not opened despite early voting having already started in the state last week. “There is no legal excuse for the failure to open these sites,” one state senator wrote to the Alaska elections chief.

Carney is repeatedly attacking rights in Canada to drag our domestic support for human rights down to the lowest international common denominator. He cares as little about Alberta assaulting LGBTQ rights as about Turkey doing it.

There’s no such thing as a self-made billionaire. To accumulate that level of obscene capital you have to develop parasitical relationships to sabotaged systems and prove useful to explicitly anti-human projects.

Photo from Reddit. White nationalists just outside the BC Legislature this morning after a BC Cons supermajority. This group is Loyalist Pioneers, a white nationalist organization virtually identical to Second Sons. They've been active around Victoria for about a year & a half.

A window into what's driving the housing crisis. It's often more profitable to keep land in a state of blight than put it to better use for humanity. Tax the land and fix the incentives.

The claim nuclear is more reliable than renewables is a myth. WindWaterSolar has not only met a higher percent (12.8%) of demand during its worst 5 min in all of 2026 than nuclear during its best 5 min (12.0%), but has also met seasonal & daily demand better than nuc from 2023-26 on the CAISO grid

West Bank…

Matt Yglesias should at least *acknowledge* the opposing view: You’re more likely to secure trans rights in the long run if compromise on that issue is considered untenable in the Democratic Party chip. The outcome of one race is less important than that long term stake in the party.

I am once again telling you that our electoral system simply doesn’t reflect reality.

The Minister of Destroying the Environment & Accelerating Climate Change is my local MP @juliedabrusin.bsky.social who has decided her salary & pension are far more important than a livable future.

"Despite massive investments...[AI] has delivered zero financial payoff to corporate America outside of tech. With no impact on the bottom line, mainstream corporate America is pulling back and starting to view token spending not as a source of growth but as a cost center that weighs on margins."

It’s always the fucking men

wow -- a squirming Mike Rogers gets flustered as Kristen Welker points out that while he attacks El-Sayed over the Muslim Brotherhood, *Rogers himself* defended the Muslim Brotherhood during the same period of time that El-Sayed did!

Ballpark estimates for Vancouver over 30 years: - provincial income tax: $50B - 100% land value tax: $130B We could stop taxing income, start taxing location rents (instead of giving them to homeowners as a windfall gain), and still have $80B left over.

“Trump was joined on stage by Gernot Döllner, the chairman of the board of management at Audi, who said the plant would be producing ‘our biggest and most premium SUVs.’” No one will buy them. Audi is owned by Volkswagen. They didn’t learn the Reich lesson.

The conservative party is full of leaders who are vocally against - LGBTQ & trans rights - women's rights - science - anything that does not directly benefit a wealthy white man. Congratulations. You elected the MAGA wannabes. You will definitely get change. And it's going to hurt.

BC nobly sacrifices good governance to teach one man about hubris

I suspect the first lesson the incoming BC premier and cabinet will get from the public service is one of basic arithmetic—considering that they plan to hollow out BC’s fiscal capacity via tax cuts while also promising major spending increases Much to be revealed about the fiscal direction of BC…

New in PN: In defense of empathy "Being aware of other people’s feelings, sensitive to them, and able to put yourself in another person’s shoes is pretty much essential for humans to function as a community. But the current conservative project has zero room for that sort of thing."

A majority of British Columbians just announced they are: -Climate Change Deniers -Transphobes -Racists -Genocide Deniers and I'm sorry but I am no longer proud to call this province home. We have a serious problem. I do not feel safe in this province anymore. This is a very dark moment.

The same US president who treats our friend Canada as an enemy is trying to give Alaska to Russia, a country whose absolutely overt foreign policy is to destroy us. This superpower suicide has to be stopped. www.ft.com/content/e9cf...
