Q: Amy Acton's stepfather was indicted for rape. Now that you know all that, sir, do you change your mind about the ad? Trump: No. I don't care

Shopify's CEO is on X advocating for Brad Bradford to win because of a City of Toronto post about speed limits featuring two men and a stroller, something he clearly doesn't think will happen under Brad's rule. This is the guy who thinks rich people deserve more votes. This is who Brad attracts.

I don’t think trump has ever told the truth.

Why Ramaswamy ran the ad: he commissioned polling that showed that large numbers of voters—particularly Republicans—would turn their backs on a 12-year-old rape victim. Grotesque, but extremely revealing of who Ramaswamy is. www.dispatch.com/story/opinio...

I thought he was going to drain the swamp?

A new documentary reveals corrupt immoral parasite Lindsey Graham paid for sex with male escorts, one of three men saying he was a 17 year old boy at the time. GOPer Lindsey Graham spent his wretched life and career being anti-gay. The most hateful bigots are always the most closeted hypocrites.

The Ford government knew there was a scam going on with OSAP at a handful of career colleges. Instead of stopping it, they cut funds to all students. Now they've frozen OSAP for private career colleges that had nothing to do with the fraud. The knew it. They chose not to act.

Let’s just recall that she is talking about a twelve-year-old.

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

This video camera study showed that less than 5% of people on bikes broke traffic laws while riding bikes, yet 66% of people did so while driving. And perhaps even more importantly, if you REALLY want even MORE bike-riders to obey laws, build more protected bike infrastructure. Via @carltonreid.com

CNN montage of creepy old perv Trump lusting after men on the campaign trail.

The Columbus Dispatch this morning

A despicable ad from Vivek Ramaswamy who is a despicable person. Desperate Republicans have run some horrible, dishonest ads to distract from their failures in office, but maybe none worse than this one.

We are sensing a pattern

Surprise!

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

Oh, Donald . . . That's not a gym. It's a gay bathhouse. And you have *never* looked like that.

Three Facts: 1) Tommy wasn't a voter. He was a Christian Nationalist plant by Josh Hawley. 2) Tommy isn't worried religious law superseding our Constitution. He admitted he's trying to enact Christian Shariah above the Constitution.

Transit advocacy group @ttcriders.bsky.social did an extensive survey of Toronto election candidates, asking if they would commit to 18 priorities. Chow committed to all of them. Bradford didn't respond. Christian Malong digs into it for @thegrindto.bsky.social.

here's a prime example in scarborough centre of a high-polling candidate, ganesh uthish, who has a progressive-coded platform (better tenant protections, youth supports, food programs, etc). but anti-bus lane. many suburban candidates view transit users as an expendable constituency against drivers

The “Tommy” shown in this viral video from Abdul El-Sayed is a former staffer for Sen. Josh Hawley and the son of a GOP strategist. For nearly five minutes, El-Sayed questioned the man about his understanding of the Constitution and the religious freedom it affords all Americans. Simply brilliant.

She is daddy’s dream.

Not AI. Screenshot of a video. Multiple men beating the shit out of a woman for demanding that the Epstein files be released. Republican men tell us they are our protectors as they beat us.

It’s a feature not a bug

Israel terror gangs have attacked a Washington Post journalist. Meanwhile the Israeli state has murdered 241 members of the media since 2023 with no consequences or international outrage.

The City of Ottawa needs a Victims of Car Culture Memorial so we can collectively stop normalizing this: "Twenty-nine people have died in traffic-related collisions so far this year, compared to 23 fatalities on Ottawa roads in all of 2025"

"One guy on a bike punched my Uber, so I now loudly repeat the Conservatives' bullshit talking points." Of course. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

There’s the Verdi Alliance truck with the covered logos. Royal York and Bloor today.

G20 levels of police presence to remove a fucking bike lane. Absolute cowards. (Photo: @chanface.bsky.social)

People's impressions and intuitions about transportation are reliably wrong. It's our job as journalists (not to mention electeds) to think in systems, understand data, anticipate change. Observed numbers on Bloor top 50% for bike traffic. www.torontotoday.ca/local/transp...

In Quebec City, an 11 year old boy was killed while he was on his bike earlier this year. A ceremony set for this weekend to install a ghost bike was cancelled because the boy's family has been inundated with hateful messages because ... speed bumps have been installed.

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.

In Toronto we've watched police ignore traffic violations for many years (they even lied about enforcing traffic laws - with no consequences) so this is basically the renaissance painting of the Toronto condition.

Trump again comes out as pro-inflation
