"The Republican Party in particular must finally loose the chains of its practical & moral enslavement to Donald Trump & separate itself from the MAGA political party cult" A MUST-READ. It may be frightening, but it's crucial we are all prepared for the inevitable! shorturl.at/US1eU

SHOUT-OUT to Political Cartoonist extraordinaire & Member of the Order of Canada Michael de Adder, who routinely does a far better job of holding this administration accountable than the corporate media. Thank you for your attention to his brilliant satirical wit! 🙏 (also: 🤣)

Lots of sunshine; high 20's inland today. A few afternoon thunderstorms will be spotty. Showers or thunderstorms most likely across the middle of the Maritimes Friday; just spotty elsewhere. Fine weekend for your outdoor plans. Best chance of rain next week: Wednesday.... then turns cool late week.

Low 30's in a number of inland spots this aftn in S NB & Mainland NS; 20's elsewhere. Showers risk thunder most likely north & east. A much cooler brand of air (teens at best) Thursday with lots of sun and gradually warming thru the weekend. Higher rain chances early next week then warm & sunny.

it's beyond me how this "spaceport" has managed to survive, and even get a ton of funding for this kind of ridiculous undertaking. None of this can be serious. Great article summing up the nonsense that is unfolding around the "spaceport".

George Retes is a U.S. citizen and Iraq war veteran. He was detained by ICE and held in solitary confinement for three days without explanation. George shared his story before Congress to make sure no American has to endure the same abuse he did.

This is good —the Mayor of Yellowknife NWT in Canada’s far north weighs in on “Car Bloat” (truck bloat actually) and its many big costs & consequences (thanks @davidzipper.bsky.social for heads-up). And like most who dare tell the truth about that, he’s taking flack. www.linkedin.com/mwlite/feed/...
