So cute that he thinks she gives even the tiniest of shits about his opinion of her.

Particularly disappointing since it appears that people panicked at last minute and voted Liberal rather than Green, causing the Con to win. Mike has the hearts of the riding, but people voted (erroneously) with their heads.

Very happy about last night's ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ election results, especially Poilievre losing his seat. Highly disappointed, though, by the loss of #MikeMorrice in Kitchener Centre (my riding). We've gone from an incredibly active advocate Green MP to a helicoptered-in Con MP. Definite downgrade for our riding.

If you're not hard-core stanning @booker.senate.gov, can you even call yourself a liberal/Democrat? More Dem Senators should have been supporting him, but he still did it and beat the record almost entirely on his own. #filibuster #TheHeroWeNeed #StepUp

Currently being serenaded by an orchestra of snores. One partner and two large dogs. It's a miracle I get any sleep at all. But I wouldn't change it for anything.

It is horrifying that the leader of the United States is so dumb that he can't figure out the difference between transgender and transgenic. What's even more horrifying is that NO ONE ON HIS TEAM REALISED THE ERROR either.

Democracy doesnโ€™t die overnightโ€”it dies when people look away. South Korea stopped authoritarianism with protests and accountability. If we donโ€™t resist Trumpโ€™s radical agenda, America is next.

Organize. Speak up. Take action.

Ten Things We Can All Do to Protect Democracy From Marc | The most common question I receive is how everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy.

Donald Trump has promised retribution. When you hear that a Trump foe is under investigation, be skeptical. When you read about anonymous leaks against pro-democracy leaders, consider that it may be part of an effort to discredit their work. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

ANALYSIS | Trump's comment to 'clean out' Gaza has thrilled Israel's far right and infuriated Palestinians | CBC News Speaking to reporters on Air Force One Saturday,ย U.S. President Donald Trump said he intends to push the leaders of Egypt and Jordan to build housing for Palestinians in Gaza,ย so they can be relocated...

To ppl who didn't vote for Kamala bc her stance on Israel-Palestine "wasn't strong enough"... is this strong enough? Not what you were looking for? I'm not gloating, I am ANGRY. That short-sightedness is part of why we're here now. And 'shocker', his stance is way worse.
