If you know anyone in the National Guard, send this video to them. They do not have to follow orders that will hurt their fellow countrymen. They can fight this legally. Please remember, the National Guard takes the same pledge to our Constitution as the rest of our military. #SheShed #LosAngeles

New idea to support #Cooperation in Ontario: Calling all centre left voters. Donate the $200 bribe from Ford (coming in late January/February) to the party most able to defeat the PC candidate in your riding Bonus: Get $150 back at tax time! #onpoli

Decided to go back in time and check out my tweets in the aftermath of Trump's 2016 win. Found this projection of Trump's effect on US CO2 emissions, so I plugged in actuals up to 2023. Don't think the projection was 'wrong' so much as people worked bloody hard to make it wrong.

Years ago we had the mayor bike to school with my 6 year old, within the first :30 seconds they were almost hit by a driver on live TV. Every leader should be required to ride a bike (if able) with a 6 year old before they provide any direction on bike infrastructure.

We could not agree more. #DougFord deserves to be voted out. The multiple crises we face require urgent action, not a business as usual approach. Urge NDP Liberal and Green, set partisan interests aside #CooperateToWin Sign and share our voting pledges cooperateforcanada.ca/voting-pledg...

There are many reasons why #DougFord deserves to be voted out of office in the next election. The destruction of #OntarioPlace is near the top of my list. It's time for the NDP, Green Party, and Liberals to work together to ensure that we #VoteFordOut and try to save what's left of this province.

First, let’s work together to defeat Ford and the PC’s to put an end to the damage they are doing. A new voting system will not happen under a PC government. Splitting the vote between the centre left parties enables PC’s to win seats. We can argue later. #CooperateToWin

The Rundown@therundowntvo.bsky.social

An #onpoli listener asks @spaikin.bsky.social and @jm-mcgrath.bsky.social: Are there any legal obstacles to a one-time NDP-Liberal-Green coalition, with a single mandate: to institute preferential voting then immediately call an election? 🎧 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...
