The best

Reminder: DOGE was never about "efficiency."

Elbows up, Canada!

The top 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth.

The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth.

Read that back.

Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

Q: how to 6x DOGE savings ($2.5b)?

A: Cut subsidies to Tesla ($15b)

There’s hope Canada ! 🇨🇦

Will tariffs threat override Indigenous sovereignty in B.C? | The Narwhal Trump’s threats have unified Canadians — but B.C. shouldn’t use this moment to backtrack on reconciliation

As many people know, the City of Victoria purchased the Hermann’s building last year. @mattdellvictoria.bsky.social and I were the motivation behind this strategic acquisition.
