Now we’re arresting 80 year old veterans peacefully protesting Trump’s military vanity birthday parade on Capitol Hill.

I want the Knicks to lose. Go Pacers!

Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt.
Make sure some of them wind through the dark end of the forest.
Make sure they lead to the haunted cottage of the twig witch, and past the dens of creatures born of moss and dark mischief.

You're seeing America kamikaze itself into a brick wall.

It didn't have to be this way.

But greed and racism, our two sins, will be our downfall.

Too many people still with their hands in the sand.

The NBA and WNBA are now actively posting on Bluesky and I can't emphasize enough how important it is that we do everything possible to support these accounts, because how many followers they acquire and how much positive engagement they get will 100%, unequivocally determine how committed they are to this place AND how likely it is that other leagues & sports personalities could then come here too. These accounts aren't just big accounts, they're bridges to entire communities and the ripple effect of them succeeding here would be MASSIVE. If you want to stick a stake through Twitter's heart, this is how you do it - but remember, the NBA and WNBA don't *have* to be here and it's not a foregone conclusion this isn't anything more than a trial run. So yes, don't just follow these accounts: help promote them and positively interact w them too. Let's show them this place is worth investing in.

"The report found that 11 of Canada’s legacy news outlets, including the National Post and Toronto Sun, have endorsed the Conservatives in the last six elections. Just 1 endorsed the Liberals."

Postmedia dominates Canadian media which is owned by far right billionaires.

Bishop Thomas John Paprocki of Springfield, Illinois, slams Trump for posting an AI image of himself as the Pope:

“This is deeply offensive to Catholics, especially during this sacred time that we are still mourning the death of Pope Francis…He owes an apology”

This is about all of us. Never forget that.

Trump accused of ‘mocking’ Catholics after posting image of himself as pope US president displays ‘pathological megalomania’ as cardinals gather to elect new leader after death of Pope Francis Donald Trump has been accused of mocking the election of a new leader of the Catholic church after posting an AI-generated picture of himself as the pope on social media. The image, shared on Friday night on Trump’s Truth Social site and the White House’s official X account, raised eyebrows at the Vatican, which is still in the period of nine days of official mourning after Pope Francis’s funeral on 26 April.

Why China has the upper hand in its trade war with America A truce is still possible, but no one wants to be first to pick up the phone

Why China has the upper hand in its trade war with America:

America accounts for much less than a fifth of global trade. China, on the other hand, is the biggest trading partner for over a hundred countries and it hopes to pick up some of the international goodwill destroyed by Trump.

Scheer 2019: Wins popular vote, wins his riding, loses election remove him as party leader
O’Toole 2021: Wins popular vote, wins his riding, loses election remove him as party leader
PP 2025: Loses popular vote, loses his riding, loses election We gotta find a way to keep this guy as party leader

We must fight to save PBS and NPR.

"The accounts have tell-tale signs of being bots: posting at very high volume and frequency, often only retweeting content, and consistently sharing a variety of common links — in this case promoting Poilievre and attacking Carney." Archived: archive.is/sTAPc

"What we are witnessing is not only a political crisis or a humanitarian catastrophe, but a collapse in moral and intellectual infrastructure. The tradition that once claimed to guide our judgments ... can no longer bear the weight of the present."

Advocates celebrate court-ordered pause on Toronto bike lane removals An Ontario judge paused the Ford government’s plan to rip out three of Toronto’s major protected bike lanes, handing cycling advocates a symbolic victory.

“We’ve always argued that ripping out bike lanes won’t solve congestion, and the judge’s comments reflect that,” said Michael Longfield, executive director of Cycle Toronto.

Good. Lots of other wonderful, and safer, places in this world.

Harvard Is Fighting Back. So Can We. The Trump administration wants a battle with civil society.

There is, as they say, a lot going on here.

Carney ripping Poilievre's priorities with a fantastic zinger on plastic straws "thank god". Great sound bite. #cdnpoli

Americans should be outraged their tax dollars are paying for that

The New America: Federal (ICE) Agents Boarding Trains? By Judith Roberts * As an attorney I’m deeply alarmed by an incident that occurred just this week and feel compelled to share it—to raise aw...

A co-worker of mine (who is a judge), traveled by train from Montana to North Dakota for work this week. The train made a stop in Havre, MT, where ICE agents—armed and dressed in full military-style tactical gear—boarded the train.

The ending of the Headstart Program funding is not only extremely cruel, it is a very stupid thing to do in the long term! #Maddow

‘If I die, I want a loud death’: Gaza photojournalist killed by Israeli airstrike Fatima Hassouna, who had been documenting war in Gaza for 18 months and was subject of new documentary, killed along with 10 members of her family

On Wednesday, just days before her wedding, 25-year-old Hassouna was killed in an Israeli airstrike that hit her home in northern Gaza. Ten members of her family, including her pregnant sister, were also killed. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

No, the 10-year of Liberals did not lead to a decrease of military budget. #poilievre #Canada 👇

Since we don't #axethefacts, I'll do another 4 years with Carney if that means reaching the NATO target.

Pierre Poilievre is admitting that he doesn't have a Top Secret security clearance like the other federal leaders because he "needs to be able to speak freely".

Hopefully Canadians don't fall for that. Poilievre doesn't have it because he wouldn't be able to lie with impunity. #Debate2025 #cdnpoli
