Sometimes we forget how extraordinary this planet really is. Whales singing across oceans, forests communicating underground, oceans glowing at night & stars whose light began its journey long before us. The world is beautiful. Don’t forget to make room for wonder. #SheShed #Wonder #PlanetEarth

Welcome back to Canada, President Obama. Thank you for joining us in Toronto for important conversations on how we can build a better and more just future — and empower more people to build with us.

Gullible indeed!

David Hamer@davidhamer1951.bsky.social

Some 🍁journalists are so, so gullible, including this dude in @thestar.com who actually believes there really is a “new, nicer Poilievre” who’s “showing humility”. 🤷🏼🤭🤷🏼 www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

I too was surprised when the store bought potted ones bloomed and spread after just storing them in the garage until the ground warmed enough to plant them. Isn't nature wonderful!

Hyacinths look best in the open ground. Three of these ones were a gift in a pot a few years ago but liberated into the open ground they've spread and become a lovely little display.🌱

John Roberts - when you allow yourself to be compromised...

LA Blue Dot in GA 🌊🐸@namwella1961.bsky.social

Daily Beast: SCOTUS Justice John Roberts lashed out at the hostility being directed towards judges, describing it as “dangerous” & demanding an end to the attacks, a veiled swipe at Trump. You can't create a monster and then complain when it turns on you. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

Yet its legacy endures in every Black medical professional who walks through a hospital door today. Provident Hospital stands as a reminder: When institutions exclude us, we build our own. And when we build our own, we change the world. (cont) imss.org/provident-ho...

it was a political statement. It proved that Black excellence wasn’t the exception; it was the rule, when given resources, autonomy, and space to thrive. The hospital faced financial challenges over the decades — a reflection of systemic underfunding, not lack of impact. (cont)

⚠️WOKE CONTENT⚠️ 🧵 Let us begin #BlackHistoryMonth by acknowledging a medical milestone. What happened when Black physicians and nurses were excluded from all-White hospitals? They built their own. Pull up a 🪑.(cont) #ProudBlue #ResistanceRoots #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

I keep reflecting on the surrealness of Mark Carney, former Governor of the Bank of England and Bank of Canada, invoking an anti-communist essay by Vaclav Havel to declare at Davos that the American-led neoliberal capitalist world order is a “lie”

Good move Lake Street Church especially the zip tied baby Jesus

Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com

This is exactly what churches should be doing, calling out injustice. 📌 Lake Street Church Nativity: a bold social justice statement with ICE-like Roman soldiers, the Virgin Mary in a gas mask, baby Jesus zip-tied, Joseph on the ground, pushing viewers to think about immigration.

Gee do you think Dougie's got some buddies who run private schools that could help out ???? ( Gosh I wish there was a sarcasim font lol)

David Hamer@davidhamer1951.bsky.social

This is how stupid Ontario’s “Minister of Education” thinks we are: Starve public system of funds, escalate class sizes, understaff all programmes, report unsatisfactory test scores, blame schools. 🤷🏼🙄🤷🏼

In September, federal agents swarmed a Hyundai manufacturing site, detaining more than 500 workers, including more than 300 from South Korea. Now, nearly 200 detainees are preparing to sue ICE, alleging human rights violations and unlawful arrest.

abcnews.linkThese South Korean workers came to the US to build an EV battery plant. They left in shackles. They still want to know whyICE agents raided, arrested workers at a Georgia battery factory in September.

Wow! not surprising though😒

Look at how Young Republicans in the age of Trump chat among themselves when they think nobody else is around👇🏻 Anyone think 🇨🇦Canada’s Trump-loving Young Conservatives are far behind? 🧐🤔😱 www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

We don’t care if it makes you uncomfortable. We’re angry — and we’re done apologising for it.   Female rage isn’t a weakness. It’s a force: raw, righteous, and long overdue.   Be loud. Be brave.

Cardinal Timothy Dolan failed to report direct admissions of rape by multiple priests, lobbied against extending the statute of limitations for sex abuse, and moved money off the church books to hide it from victims of sex abuse. In case you were wondering.

Cardinal Timothy Dolan on Fox & Friends on Charlie Kirk: "This guy is a modern day St Paul. He was a missionary, he's an evangelist, he's a hero. He's one I think that knows what Jesus meant when he said 'the truth will set you free.'"

Kräken's post inspired me to make a meme. Save & share because it should be seen broadly & made into bumper stickers, bridge signs & flyers. ICE is a fascist Gestapo-like secret police force with poorly trained goons that violate our rights & use maximum force to unconstitutionally abduct people.

ICE is a government jobs program for sociopaths

Old guy (in his 70s) who put live baby chicks in a blender, gave younger family members drugs, has zero medical training or knowledge but a wormy brain-full of misinformation and unwarranted arrogance, is canceling America’s life saving vaccines & research. God help us all as we travel backward.

FFS: RFK Jr. announced "that $500 million worth of vaccine development projects, all using mRNA technology, will be halted." In his statement, RFK Jr. said "we're moving beyond the limitations of mRNA and investing in better solutions." Antivaxxers continue to despise and lie about mRNA tech.

🧵 1/2 Senator Padilla’s press conference removal response “I couldn’t accept the rhetoric anymore, I had the audacity to ask a question, I introduced myself, I’m Senator Alex Padilla & I have a question It took all of maybe a second for multiple agents to forcibly remove me” 📽️ was too long-🧵2/2👇
