If Canadians are looking for alternatives to Walmart and Amazon, Canadian Tire has most of the things you can find, and an online store I'd recommend Superstore (Loblaw) for food but they're controversial. Still Canadian though Co-op as well, if you have one close by #cancon #elbowsup

So they can attack Eastern Europe easier??? Hell no!

Listen, when I said the tent was big enough for all of us, this is not what the fuck I meant. Thanks for the publicity or whatever, but Neo-nazis need not apply.

The fact that Trump keeps claiming voter fraud in the 2026 midterms before a single vote has been counted is wild to me. Reminds me of how he won all seven swing states in 2024. If you and I were planning to cheat, we’d say, “Let’s do five, not seven. It’ll seem more believable.”

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

Again: Why does Musk have operational control over any *military grade* version of anything. That’s not how DOD contracts work.

Elon Musk is a war criminal

Elon denies he betrayed the Ukrainians in the midst of a Russian assault in order to help Putin. But WSJ has the evidence: he did. Can we allow a drug addict from South Africa to run US military assets in the middle of a war? How did this happen? www.wsj.com/world/ukrain...

What country would now want to invest in a communications system like Starlink, one that can be shut down on the whim of a tech billionaire or a President of the United States?

Yesterday, we all saw the video of Kostiantyn Vlasenko, a Ukrainian Defender from the 30th Brigade, being evacuated by drone from a position on the left bank of the Oskil River in the Kupiansk sector, Kharkiv region. I was deeply impacted by the video and his interview.

Yet another historic first has taken place in Ukraine. The most important part is that the rescue mission saved the Defender's life. "A historic event has taken place - an evacuation from the front line using a flying drone." - Napalm, a squad leader and

When leaders test the limits of power what does it mean for the people?
In 1860, Frederick Douglass reminded us the Constitution belongs to the people.
It’s time to reclaim the promise of “We The People” & demand it include ALL the people…..equally.

This is Inna Maryukhna and her 1-year-old daughter, Anhelina. ​Russia killed them on October 19 when a drone struck a local park in Nova Vodolaha where families were resting. Inna was a primary school teacher at Nova Vodolaha Lyceum No. 1. The lyceum shared the news on their FB

The USA has even more blood on their hands A little Ukrainian baby is dead because Elon had a hissy fit and restricted Starlink access and PO(UT)S decided to stop intelligence sharing Anyone who kills children is evil, full stop. Assisting with the killing - also evil.

Fuck Putin, the baby killer I'm heart broken 💔😭

Kate from Kharkiv@kateinkharkiv.bsky.social

This is a baby killed in a baby stroller by russian monsters in broad daylight‼️ Russia struck the central park in Nova Vodolaha, Kharkiv region, with a jet-powered drone while it was packed with people and families. They killed at least 3, a baby and two women, and injured at least 14 more.
