The good news is that if anyone responds to a proposal to increase govt housing or health care with “But how will we pay for it??” you are permitted to punch them in the throat 👍🏼

Trump managed to bankrupt a casino. His crypto grift is making crypto less palatable.
The moment he and his cronies jump into the AI bubble (also a grift), it will spell the downfall of that too.
Trump can drive everything, even the country he leads, into bankruptcy.

NO ONE ever gets through to North American main stream media on this issue. Europe knows about it more than Canadians! It’s a toxic nightmare.
This is important.

that twitter billionaire's dumbass grok image proposing oil transfer by land through what looks like oman and uae, both currently in range of iranian drones and missiles. the trucks have been replaced by a giant slip n' slide running between the ships and a caption that reads "Pour Oil into Giant Slip n' Slide"

Can this be a solution?

This not only protects consumers but also is an environmental issue - producing goods that consumers cannot repair and end up in landfills is disgraceful - I had two LG fridges that I couldn’t get repaired due to where I live & lack of service technicians that ended up as landfill - it’s ridiculous!

Here's why Mayor Olivia is Chow promising a ‘slumlord’ crackdown The city is gearing up to fix unsafe apartment buildings, then charge landlords for the cost of the repairs on their property tax bill

Good. Makes sense to me. There are some bad actors out there.

The brokenness of the old ways could not be made more clear. The whole world having to pay a whole lot more just to simply get around is baked into the status quo era of the #Petrostate. This stuff is gone FOREVER with an #EnergyTransition and the rise of the #Electrostate & the worst actors know it

Troops Suffered Brain Trauma, Burns From Iran Strike Hegseth Dismissed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth brushed off the strike as a “squirter.”

So, 6 died but 30 others were hospitalized from the retaliatory strike by Iran but Kegsbreath didn't care about them. This is not a game when lives are at stake. He needs to be impeached immediately. Hey Lindsey. Stop with the praise!!!

Well said. We should keep a master list of American state governors and city mayors that depend on Canadian tourism that are on #Bluesky and share this post and posts like it with them, *especially* those making overtures at Canadians to visit. #ElbowsUp #cdnpoli #CanadaSky

Here's my bottom line:

Much of what they are doing is bad.
Much of what they are doing is unpopular.
Pushback is working.
We are winning.
Keep fighting.
Be creative.
Push for what you'd want.
Allow for insiders and outsiders.
Realize that change takes time.
Reduce harm in the meantime.

In just the last 24 hours, Iran has successfully attacked:

3 cargo ships in the strait of Hormuz

3 fuel tankers in Iraqi waters

Bahrain at Ma'ameer oil facility

Oman fuel tanks at Salalah port

US base at Camp Arifjan, Kuwait

They show no signs of slowing down, they're escalating.

It’s even worse when you remember that a lot of these people in the Trump administration had confirmation hearings and Congress took a vote.

"Fortunate Son" by CCR was written by John Fogerty in about 20 minutes, fueled by rage over the unfairness of the Vietnam War draft. The song critiques how wealthy, well-connected families used their influence to protect their sons from combat, while working-class young men were sent to fight

The most evil monster in America today is the Republican Party and their evil media.
If you really want to know who the Republican Party is?…listen to their accusations of the Democrats.
