I would like to thank my local municipal election worker for exclaiming β€œwhee, democracy” in a monotone voice as the vote tabulator sucked in my ballot

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

'That THEY can do it, while others can't' With MAGA, it comes down to this, every time.

Fred DeLorey: "All of these separatist 'leaders,' not a single one of them have been elected to anything. Go put your name on a ballot. Try to become an MLA. Try to create the movement through a democratic process. You had your chance. It failed."

Still covering Elon Musk as a business mogul and not foregrounding his murderous white nationalist politics is like doing a piece on only the clown career of John Wayne Gacy.

Trump very carefully waddles down the Marine One stairs, then zig-zags his way to the Qatari bribe plane before Natalie Harp boards with her giant bag #TravelWithNatalie

Avi Lewis: "The entire process was unnecessary. Nobody asked for it. Danielle Smith's career has been defined by a slow walk towards separation. All of the questions are designed to stoke division in Alberta, and she is the one who is responsible for that."

Pete Hoekstra is threatening Canada about our interference in the melt-down of the Trump regime. Pete can fuck right back to Michigan.

A must-watch from one pissed-off Canadian! πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ Trump’s in way over his head, and somehow Canada’s the problem? Give me a damn break. This wannabe dictator wants all the power and zero accountability. Canada isn’t your scapegoat. Own your failures. #ElbowsUp #USDemocracy

Oh no, Trump's going to be so crushed when he checks in on what his kids and his friends and his appointees and he himself have all been doing.

Donald Trump says things that aren't true because he's a damaged person who believes them. JD Vance just seems to relish aggressively saying things he knows are false.

Now that the referendum is over & the Remain side has won, there should be a thorough investigation into foreign interference in Canadian national unity & democracy. Russia, U.S. interfere in Alberta referendum - Kingston Whig-Standard www.thewhig.com/opinion/john...

This is a version of the copium that has Americans thinking that their relationship with Canada will snap back to pre-2016 norms after Trump is gone. It won't. And part of the reason why is because of the kind of Republican Party that Donald Trump built -- and revealed.

Pretty remarkable for a survey of the state of the modern GOP to omit any mention of racism or authoritarianism. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/19/o...

This is a child's mentality towards living in a country. If you want to do whatever you want whenever you want, go live in the woods of Alberta away from social services, community support, and healthcare. Absolutely immature nonsense.

NEW: Danielle Smith banked on her 9 referendum questions being a guaranteed win. She even dumped $4M of taxpayer money into a desperate ad campaign to force her desired outcome. On a special episode of Whatever This Is, @zainvelji.bsky.social explains why the tide is turning #ableg #abpoli #canpoli

Billionaires are wild. If I added up every fantastical whim I ever wanted for myself in life (and I'm talking castles in Scotland, my own personal tiger sanctuary, paying off the debt of every friend I have etc) it wouldn't even come close to one billion dollars. You shouldn't get to have that.
