Everyone, be the bean!! This is the message we all need

ChaCha@bawstinchacha.bsky.social

Be a coffee bean. The environments we find ourselves in can change, weaken, or harden us, and test who we truly are. We can be like the carrot that weakens in the pot or like the egg that hardens. Or, we can be like the coffee bean and discover the power inside us to transform our environment.

The IDU is an international syndicate for far-right authoritarians, and Canada’s Conservative Party is actively aligned with it. Keeping membership in this organization is a direct betrayal of democratic values. An editorial by @taylornoakes.com.

Russia is now exempt from the Lindsey O. Graham Russia Sanctions Act. The US government is clearly allied with Putin against Ukraine. Vote Republican enablers out.

This is pathetic. Ukraine tested Starlink speed restrictions in Europe and had no issues - the restrictions only exist in Ukraine. The Trump administration is actively helping Russia kill Ukrainians - and risking the lives of US and NATO advisors in Ukraine.

The US media is describing the Draganfly drone deal as a "TAMPA-BASED" company getting US investors (Don Jr. & a secret company) to expand US capabilities while feeding on a contract with the Canadian military. Why are we using taxpayers money to support US interests? tbbwmag.com/2026/09/28/t...

Corporations spend more than $1.5 billion a year on union-busting. That’s $1.5 billion they could have spent on higher wages, better benefits, and improving workplace safety. Remember: if they weren’t so scared of worker power, they wouldn’t fight so hard against unions.

Ken Paxton has spent more than a decade running from debates. He said he’d debate James Talarico. Then he missed deadline after deadline. Today Talarico accepted CNN’s invitation. Paxton still hasn’t. A coward who won’t stand on a stage and answer questions isn’t ready to represent Texas.
