@mark-carney.bsky.social. Where are you? What is Canada under your leadership doing to stand up to the US and its fascist leadership?

This man makes me wish 🍊💩🤡 #Trump never existed and our two countries could go back the way it was. The way it is now makes me sad and depressed. Please fix it #America 😞 #𝓢𝓽𝓮𝓿𝓮𝓜𝓲𝓵𝓮𝓼𝓝𝓮𝓽 #Bluesky #Politics #Resist #Democracy #Resistance #Canadasky #Canada #cdnpoli youtu.be/hcrL88Jwhsg?...

Cory Booker's floor speech began at 7PM. Midnight now, still going strong. Fascism = dehumanization. It's fueled by sadism, based on cruelty, & sees others as less than human. At this moment: Booker & Chris Murphy showing their humanity is 💯 fascism's antidote. Whether they even realize it.

All candidates should whip out their naked pics immediately…make the last two weeks of this campaign feel like less of a shell game. Tell the truth and quit spinning, and blaming and shaming. Help me want to vote for you.

Guys, we're in trouble. This is only going to get worse. Please be aware of your surroundings. Help your neighbors. We need to stick together

@mark-carney.bsky.social What action have you taken to protect Canadians entering the US from being unnecessarily detained, demeaned, traumatized and abused? This is happening to innocent Canadians - how are you responding to this abuse? Might you at least issue a national travel warning?

🥱 I wish I could feel good about voting Liberal. The current climate is being leveraged by Liberals. The constant ‘outrage’ distracts from what matters in the end and I don’t get the warm fuzzies that MC cares much about DEI and the wellbeing of families, or has a grasp on the addiction epidemic.

I am interested in knowing why you got rid of the Ministries in your cabinet that were focussed on affordable housing, mental health and addictions, family and social policy. Makes me shiver to think who this move reminds me of… no hard feelings…just curious what your thoughts are Mark?

I don’t want a government to give me more money. I don’t want to have to be in constance defence with my elbows up. I want a Leader and a government who will STOP DONALD TRUMP

That’s really sad that we can do nothing in this world to address the acts of a dictator who is in the midst of enacting a genocide - right before our eyes. And I am insulted to think that you giving me cash will make me feel better about the deaths of innocent people in the US and Mexico

I seek something from politicians, media, analysts, reporters that has a wider and more dynamic bandwith than the ongoing outrage. Outrage has its place. But generally lacks any movement or depth. The challenge lies in how we come together to clean up the huge mess we ALL have made of things.

bsky.app/profile/your.... "🇷🇺 Russians with with 47 & Musk reveal narcissistic sociopathathic lack of conscience. Reading" Russians drone to hunt children for SPORT" create a sickening visceral gut punch reaction. These are who inhabit the planet with us? ##STOP_47.

So Doug Ford just backed down on the electricity surcharge without getting anything in return except a meeting? The previously planned Trump tariffs go ahead, and all Ford has done is weaken our response? Greaaaaaat. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Oh Canada, I adore you.

Looking forward to seeing Omar El Akkad speak here at McNally Robinson about his new book, "One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This" Not in Winnipeg? It's streaming live at 2 pm CT on YouTube 👇 www.youtube.com/live/ClkdvWO...

For author Omar El Akkad, watching the descriptions of Palestinian suffering in much of mainstream Western media is to watch language employed for the exact opposite of language’s purpose—to watch the unmaking of meaning. thewalrus.ca/what-happens-whe...

“Allowed to wield silence so freely, any institution will become insatiable,” writes Omar El Akkad. “The silence becomes an empty canvas, onto which any fantasy can be painted.” thewalrus.ca/what-happens-whe...

Labelling any man killed by the US military as a terrorist until proven otherwise doubly defiles the dead, writes Omar El Akkad. First, they are killed and foisted with a label they are not able to refute. Then, they are rendered untouchable in polite society. thewalrus.ca/what-happens-whe...

Anyway everyone should read this, especially people like Maya.

What happens when a drone strike has no killer and a war has no dead? Author Omar El Akkad probes into the ways in which the West warps language to impose a phantom reality on the Palestinian people: thewalrus.ca/what-happens-whe...

Thank you Jesus... Someone is doing something...

"Chisholm Pothier, ... a senior official with Flaherty's team: "Oh please. I was there and Carney played a big role," Pothier said. "Flaherty and Harper provided the political leadership that was key, but Carney was on deck with insight and smart monetary policy." www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Chisholm Pothier Oh please. I was there and Carney played a big role. Flaherty and Harper provided the political leadership that was key, but Carney was on deck with insight and smart monetary policy. Trying to erase that for partisan reasons is, well, beyond disgraceful, to match your hyperbole

Chisholm Pothier, who was Flaherty's deputy chief of staff & director of communications, came to Carney's defence: "I was there & Carney played a big role. “Flaherty & Harper provided the political leadership…but Carney was on deck with insight and smart monetary policy."

bsky.app/profile/fina.... 47's wrecking ball approach is shattering basic human rights and needed social services for the vulnerable throughout America. As resistors we can also show we understand, we care and will post alternative access to non-government support systems.

Scenes from the incredible turnout today at Berkeley's @standupforscience.bsky.social rally. @tedmiguel.bsky.social, @jenniferdoudna.bsky.social, and dozens of researchers, elected officials, and citizens defended science and the jobs, health benefits, and progress it creates for all Americans.

Interesting…the important issues are outlined starting at the 13 minute mark. BUT… It’s not as captivating and theatrical as the distractions our brains have been marinating in for the last 9 weeks. Can we wake up from a nightmare ? Or do we just keep sleepwalking? www.youtube.com/live/QlrQKv1...

What would it be like if media only reported when someone spoke the truth; rather than reporting every false accusation made by a government official about an opponent or a people? Would that be less confusing and less like sifting through poop to find the pearl?

The boycott is strong and getting stronger every day.

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

The MAJORITY of Ontario did NOT vote for Doug Ford, we are not all idiots, most of us know he is a bumbling idiot. We would have beaten him if NDP and LIB were one party and not split.
