Alright #Canucks fans. @harsunderhunjan.bsky.social must be studying, so I'll kick us off. I'm taking Lekkerimaki for the first #Canucks goal vs the Ducks. Who are you picking?

Bartender? Bring a double of whatever copium @petrishriekandgo.bsky.social is drinking. 🍻 It'll have more shots than the #canucks in the third.

NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.

"Hi there! I'm the Secretary of Agriculture in a nation where just about every single kind of food has been recalled because it will give you explosive shits and then kill you dead. Well, I'm here to tell you about how government regulation and oversight is baaaaaaaad."

Fuck polite whispers. Retaliatory tariffs hurt Canadians. Stop letting him pick the matchup and the venue. Export taxes on oil, gas, potash, and electricity means revenue that can be used to help industries hurt by US tariffs. And directs the pain where it belongs, south of the border . Elbows up!
What’s next in the U.S.–Canada tit-for-tat tariff war is likely to get even more painful. Loud whispers of export taxes on Canadian oil, gas, electricity and potash are now being bandied about in polite company.
ICE cannot be reformed. It has to be extinguished and everyone involved investigated and prosecuted. We need a “Minneapolis Trials” for ICE patterned on Nuremberg.
NEW: The federal prosecutor who charged ICE agent Christian Castro for lying about shooting Sosa-Celia has now been FIRED. He objected to the DoJ stopping him from charging a civil rights violation. And now he’s fired. www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-min...

It's hard to fathom that anyone thinks ICE can be reformed or retrained. ICE needs to be dismantled and then cauterized so it can't grow back. #AbolishICE
💥 ICE drag mom & teen daughter out of hospital room—in middle of being treated after car accident. Still wearing hospital gowns. Both victims of car collusion, with asylum case pending in good standing & valid work permit. Grace Calero 39, & Giulianna Carriel 19, from Ecuador.
I hate most that tariffs 1) deliberately shift the tax burden from income to consumption — yet another way to cut taxes for the rich and 2) create endless opportunities for manipulation (suspending beef tariffs until the election) and corruption (donate to his ballroom for tariff relief).
One of the things I hate the most about tariffs is that we knew they were illegal, and when the court finally decided they were illegal, they forced Trump to refund the tariffs. But the refunds went to the corporations, and not the people the corporations raised prices on. What a scam.

A Ukrainian unit with drones wiped out a conventional America one in a training exercise and the lesson this idiot took away was “we need to get back to basics”!? This administration has people who embody weaponized stupidity making decisions that will needlessly cost lives
As the world moves on, the US gets left further behind The Army is disbanding a unit created to learn drone warfare

Trevor Linden in a #49 jersey? 🤯 TIL the future captain wore #49 for four preseason games in his rookie year. I had to look it up because my brain refuses to connect the photo w Linden since he isn’t wearing #16. Thanks for sharing this one @pre2000hockey.bsky.social

Such irresponsible nonsense. Trade policy being decided by bullies who understand neither trade nor economics. Mighty tempting for Canada to respond with a 10% export duty on oil, potash, and electricity sold to the US.
Donald Trump threatened new tariffs on Canada to punish them for wildfires that are affecting air quality Since this would be clearly illegal, members of his administration had to say the wildfires and 50% tariffs that were recently enacted are unrelated Who is in charge?

In cancer care, use of alternative medicine is associated with increased death. In this study, greater conspiracy mentality and lower science literacy skills are linked to believing that cures for cancer are being suppressed: www.semanticscholar.org/paper/The-ro...

Simplifying the defense? Maybe. Bigger and meaner? Certainly. But it was also about replacing 5 more years of M-Petey with 2 of Oleksiak at about the same cap hit and adding a future first round pick in the process. Solid move and great sign #canucks are serious about a patient rebuild.
Why did the Vancouver Canucks move out Marcus Peterson, and move in Jamie Oleksiak? Is the move about improving the team's defence, or was there a more forward-looking reason? www.professorspressbox.com/posts/the-ol...
Americans have permanently forfeited the right to call any foreign nation “surrender monkeys”. Total capitulation.
Holy shit this is bad. Strait of Hormuz = free transit for 60 days, after that it’s up to Iran and Oman Nothing on missiles. All Iranian sanctions removed. $300 billion to Iran on top of releasing all frozen funds. We didn’t win a single point. Holy shit.
