Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs donโt want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And thatโs cowardly as shit.

Do not agree to anything before midterms @mark-carney.bsky.social
Canada-U.S. talks gain more momentum ahead of midterms: sources - Multiple government and industry sources close to trade discussions between Canada and U.S. tell CTV News there is considerable appetite from the White House to strike a deal with Canada.

Torontoโs mayoral race between Olivia Chowโs cautious progressivism and Brad Bradfordโs right scapegoating politics is close. As @desmondcole.bsky.social argues, even if Chow pulls it off, sheโll need left-wing councillors at city hall like Chiara Padovani to push her. youtube.com/shorts/KGUNQ...

Plains Cree musician says routine traffic stop with RCMP turned into violent encounter. Q: What percentage of RCMP and Cops are racist? Less than 100%? Canadians rightfully view the police in derogatory terms because they are systemically corrupt. #saskpoli #cdnpoli #canada shorturl.at/NKdnT

Some ground rules that have helped us: - Go outside your bubble, try new social media channels - Donโt underestimate the power of WhatsApp (although less so in the U.S.) - Post on the Instagram grid, not just stories - Watch every Instagram video until the end before sharing - IGNORE THEM

Iโm not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Donโt share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

I understand metaphor. When I call you a stupid baby, I'm comparing you to a child who hasn't yet learned what words mean. Because you have compared a man losing his job to being attacked by a mob who strings him up in a tree until he is dead. I think only a metaphorical stupid baby would do that.

So BC, one of MANY problems with voting for an interim leader who youโre thinking seems โmore reasonableโ than the rest of their obviously extremist party, is that the extremist party WILL pick a REAL leader AFTER youโve given them power and can pick their worst extremist option anytime they want.
Reminder: even though the election is tomorrow, the BC Conservatives do not have a permanent leader. The Cons never voted for Doerkson, and now they want BC to. Doerkson may appear moderate, but don't forget the party voted for Kerry Lynn-Findley, not him. #bcpoli #bcelection

Alberta is restricting when the Treaty 6 and Mรฉtis Nation flags are flown at schools to the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Pride flags will NEVER be allowed to fly. But you can fly the Vatican City flag. www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

โA 79-year-old CO pastor who lost 35 pounds and the strength to walk after 13 months in immigration detention has been released by order of a federal magistrate judge. The government ignored requests for a wheelchair. Instead, 3 other detainees carried Rev. Edward Nalwamba to a waiting vehicle.โ

About 2 million kids have lost SNAP since deep cuts were enacted last year. The ripple effects: Kids losing SNAP also lose automatic enrollment for free meals at school. And as more kids lose SNAP, their schools may be forced to drop Community Eligibility.
100,000 km? So 270 km per day? Seems unlikely his commute is that long
"Look, nobody rides more bikes than I do. I rode 10,000 kilometres last year," brags Bradford. He says he's "the only candidate that has a plan to build new cycling infrastructure โ we're just going to do it in our ravine network."

This is appalling. Do not allow the Conservatives or the NDP do this here in BC. The Greens wonโt stand for this. We cannot destroy our diverse ecosystems for data centres. Vote Green on October 24th. In Esquimalt-Colwood, Vic West and View Royal vote for Sidney Coles. #BCPoli

Canadians canโt afford rent. Food bank use is at a record high. Wages are stagnant while the rich are getting richer than ever before. Of all the people who could use this kind of federal support right now, venture capitalists are at the bottom of that list. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

First step Finish what started 12 years ago. Fix water supply systems for all First Nations in the country. The Canadian Government made this mess, you fix it Second End all foreign corporate water extraction and make it permanent Third Prioritize water extraction for Canadians over business
