I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

Of course it’s fucking Michelle Rempel, echoing Trump talking points as she embraces her true Fascist-Karen. She can fuck off right back to Oklahoma and stay there. She can deal with the fucking problems of her own fascist state.

Taxpayers should demand that they pay the Congressional salaries based on the number of days they actually work...
Why are you paying them if they're not working...prorate their annual salary to what their paid daily.. ty it seems to be shutdown more than working

Here is Google Lens's description of Theo Moudakis' toon:
"This political cartoon by Theo Moudakis depicts Mitt Romney driving a car while a younger version of Donald Trump, portrayed as a child, makes demands and complains from the back seat."

CNN's deliberate edit which removed a statement made by Stephen Miller.
"When in our history have we tolerated unlawful, riotous assemblies night after night around FBI buildings or ATF buildings, or DEA buildings? This is the textbook definition of domestic terrorism."

Yesterday's CBC Radio call in show was on "why are catholic schools so popular". It was thick with non-sense and very thinly veiled hate directed at non-hetero people. Why now I wondered. #CBC

Hell No! - do not give these conservative premiers more leeway to deny us our rights. Danielle Smith wants to use it to enact draconian ideological laws oppressing LGBTQ Albertans that are being challenged in court.

And guess which 5 Premiers want @mark-carney.bsky.social to back off from contesting their totally unreasonable and racist use of the Notwithstanding Clause? Yup. Got it in one.
There can NEVER be a carveout that removes protections from the vulnerable! Absolutely NOT!
