People are complicated and I am one of them. Let's care about each other and the planet. Reformed capitalist. Old person with a young heart. Humour is essential.

Political power is meant to be used to fight for the people you serve, not to line your own pockets and sell out millions of our tax dollars for a quick check.

🔥 OBAMA: “The thing is, Iran didn’t have nuclear weapons — because I put a deal in place he pulled out of… and the war he started is why the price of everything is UP… how much time do you think Hegseth spends looking at himself in the mirror? These are not serious people.”

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Morons. Communism is when your government own the means of production. Socialism is when workers own the means of production. They don't even know what the means of production is.🫵🤨🖕🏻en morons

PM Carney has confirmed he’s cutting ties with Musk and Starlink and heavily backing a $2.3 billion contract with Telesat Lightspeed. Musk, along with his mood swings has shown Canada who he is, and we believe him.

Are Americans getting flu and Covid shots this fall? Or is it just us Canadians? Does the public health system still work south of the border? I'll be getting my shots soon. I'm not young and yet I haven't had any significant viral illness since Covid hit. #covid #vaccine #flu

Elon Musk has spent over $400 million to boost Republicans ahead of the 2026 midterms. That dwarfs the $290 million he spent in 2024. But this time around, Republicans aren’t putting him center stage. Why?

Remember: If your vote didn't matter, billionaires wouldn't be spending their fortunes trying to buy our elections. Stay calm, support good candidates, do whatever you can to get out the vote, and vote as soon as you can. Don't let Big Money win.

Kroger just announced the largest layoffs in its history, with plans to cut 3,000 employees as it ramps up use of AI. Reminder that Kroger has spent $12.3B on stock buybacks since 2019 and paid its CEO $14M last year — 417x its median worker's pay. AI is turbo-charging corporate greed.

And Kroger supports pro-child-SA candidate Ramaswamy. The don't sound like a nice grocery chain that I would want to shop at, particularly if I had a family, which I do.

“A Popular Information analysis of campaign finance records reveals that the [Ramaswamy] ad was funded, in part, with contributions from the PACs and executives of major American corporations, including Bank of America, Deloitte, DraftKings, Kroger, and Nationwide.” popular.info/p/the-corpor...

There is something deeply wrong with allowing a sociopath from South Africa to kill thousands of kids in Africa and Ukraine just because he has a lot of money.

Look, we all knew Ramaswamy was a massive piece of shit but apparently he was really worried that we didn't know *just* how massive a piece of shit he was, so, great job, Vivek, you've certainly cleared that one up, haven't you

Republican Vivek Ramaswamy is facing backlash over an ad featuring his opponent Amy Acton’s estranged mother, urging voters not to elect her. Acton’s mother lost custody of her children after her husband was charged with sexually abusing Acton as a child.

Some corporate Democrats and pundits think the party has gone too far "left" and needs to readjust towards the “center.” Rubbish. Where’s the center between democracy and oligarchy, and why would Democrats want to be there?

Meta needs to explain why the No Kings Coalition account was removed in the middle of a nationwide day of action. Restore the account immediately. Silencing political dissent is what authoritarian regimes do, and Americans should be fucking furious!

Republican politicians are *obsessed* with schoolchildren coming home a different gender because of pro-trans teachers, WHICH NEVER HAPPENS. But they are completely indifferent to schoolchildren not coming home *at all* because of guns, WHICH HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!

CONFIRMED: the thoughts and prayers offered by politicians followed by Columbine, Sandy Hook, Parkland, Uvalde (and far too many others) all failed to prevent today's shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon. Is it okay to talk about #GunControlNow? Or still too soon?

WATCH: Seriously, if you’re following ANY bike-lane debate, you really should watch and share this excellent news story. Ford LIES that bike-lanes are bad for small business, and THE ACTUAL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION obliterates him with data. Remember and share this as Ford tears out Toronto bike-lanes.

toronto.citynews.caAnnex businesses tell Ford to back off Bloor bike lanesStores in the Annex say the Bloor bike lanes have been a big boost to business. As Michelle Mackey reports, the neighborhood's BIA wants the province to back off its new bill that could see the lanes removed.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. And we certainly wouldn't have public executions. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It's about cruelty.

Netflix is laying off 1,000 workers — its largest layoff ever. In 2025, Netflix had a net income of $11 billion (up 26%). Its CEO was paid $53M (255x more than the median employee). And it just raised prices for the second time in just over a year. Corporate greed in a nutshell.
