Trump is gutting the Clear Air Act and poisoning our air by "prioritizing the economic interests of corporations and easing costs for polluting industries." Congress needs to end this administration's pay-to-play corruption.

The vast majority of Canadians no longer consider the United States an ally — except Conservatives: 🔴 LPC: 7% 🟠 NDP: 4% ⚜️ BQ: 5% 🔵 CPC: 54%

Ramaswamy may have pulled his horrible ad featuring Amy Acton's mother, but it doesn’t erase that he publicly punished Acton for the horrible cards she was dealt, which is parents who provided an unsafe, unstable home. His moral compass does not exist and he’s unfit to lead Ohio.

I’m just an oatmeal socialist girl, standing in front of the Alberta NDP, asking them to campaign on more than “but the conservatives are worse” platform in the next election.

The fact that the president's doctors are giving him the dementia test over and over again -- tracking his decline, most likely -- and that the president keeps bragging about having to take that test should be a five-alarm fire.

We need politics that fights for all of creation, all the beauty and wonder of here. We are blessed to live in a temperate rainforest, and I sure hope that voters in Brazil, home to a miraculous tropical rainforest, make a better choice than we just did.

...breaking into garages and homes. Tearing doors off. Why? Because in southern BC, the salmon aren’t in the streams. Why? Because water levels are too low. Why? Weak snowpack and not enough rain. Why? We all know why.

But I live in BC and I love these unsurrendered Indigenous lands and waters, as all of my readers know. So allow me to share the kind of fact that rarely makes it into politics: the bears here are really hungry. Black bears and grizzlies are acting strangely and aggressively...

Like so many of my neighbours I am heartbroken today. I am also angry. I could say much more but since Avi became leader of the Federal NDP, posting about Canadian electoral politics has become a little complicated for me. I never want what I say to be used against him since I speak only for myself.

🧵Yesterday, British Columbia elected a Conservative majority government that ran on a platform of tax cuts and accelerating the pillaging of nature, or what the party calls “natural resources exploitation.” They also ran on attacking Indigenous sovereignty and trans rights.

Yes, Daughters of the American Revolution is notorious for its inclusiveness, especially in the 1920s. Eleanor Roosevelt even quit over their racism. So cool observation, bigot.

Both can be true at the same time - they are both lying.

Here we go again: Hoekstra & Trump interfering in our politics. If only their provocations weren't so obvious and dumb-ass. It's like having to sit by the losers in school who thought that fart jokes were funny.

This has all become so normalised and yet... this is not normal.

Alberta separatists propose making referendum vote best-of-seven series

🚨BREAKING: A Trump-appointed judge just dismissed DOJ’s lawsuit seeking Utah’s unredacted voter roll, with prejudice. The ruling drops the administration to 0-27 in its nationwide crusade for sensitive voter data.

We’ve never seen corruption like this. Under Trump, a whole pardon industry has grown up around the White House, with wealthy criminals paying well-connected insiders for a shot at clemency. Some have paid up to a million dollars. This case blows past all of them.

This is the America I believe in. When barriers go up, our young people don’t back down—they organize, they mobilize, and they show up to vote. Proud of the students at North Carolina A&T, UNCG, Bennett, and Greensboro College who marched miles to the polls. Thank you students. 🙏🏻 VOTE BLUE.

Nothing is a more convincing admission that you know your entire administration is corrupt than giving criminal pardons to EVERYONE.

There is a massive corruption scandal unfolding in the US, with top American executives abandoning a $25 billion gas project over allegations of secret Russian investment and control. ​All of this is happening just as the US administration moves to ease sanctions on Russia. ​

The Ramaswamy campaign not only tried to capitalize on a child rape victim, they did it by using an old homeless woman who—while vile—is in no mental shape to adequately understand the stakes. And did they pay her? Either answer is bad.

Amy Acton: As a young child, my brother and I experienced a lot of child abuse and neglect. We moved countless times as kids, and even wound up living in a tent in the middle of winter. And now my opponent has chosen to exploit my childhood to save his struggling campaign. But it's not going to work

Let’s just bite the bullet and nationalize Stelco’s assets, paying fair compensation. Let’s make steel for 🇨🇦Canadian customers and others abroad. To hell with Trump. To hell with Cliffs. 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

The numbers coming in from Alberta are wild. Traditionally conservative blue Calgary voted in numbers as high as 89% to support Canada. The separatist gang were crushed. Sucks to be you Danielle Smith and Pete Hoekstra.

Local woman wakes up, thanks 76% of Alberta for not being fucko buckos but reminds us that as we get the results from the rest of the 9 questions, this province still has a long way to go developing critical thinking skills and unlearning systemic racism, makes oatmeal.

Despite the Trump administration's best efforts, Alberta votes not to break up Canada

Six Republican Senators joined six Democrats in calling the diesel deal a betrayal of Ukraine. They're right, and I'm grateful they said it out loud.

We’re not talking nearly enough about the sitting president of the United States sending our troops to die in a war while aligning our country with the dictator helping to kill them.

Politics have alway been a nasty game. But Trump has brought something disgusting & actually terrifying to it. You now make up lies about your Dem opponent. Don’t talk about the issues bc you have nothing to say, so just lie. Smear them so bad that people believe you. Drown out the truth with lies.

Google co-founder Sergey Brin, who's spent $100M+ against California's Prop 40, spent the weekend dining with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago. These billionaires keep accidentally proving why we need a billionaire wealth tax.

Ramaswamy is a sick, morally bankrupt piece of shit exploiting a woman’s rape at age 12 to win an election. He gave her estranged, abusive mother a platform to weaponize her childhood trauma. There is something profoundly fucking wrong with this man. He has no business holding public office. 🤬
