Statistics Canada to cut 850 jobs in 'dark time' for public service, union says — Ottawa Citizen Federal statistics agency has issued 3,274 workforce adjustment notices, according to the union.

Can we really say the Liberals are even remotely “left” these days? No watchdog on Carney who may as well be a conservative in cutting our government agencies. To think NDP supporters didn’t have the courage to vote NDP. Now we have far right & centre right. Not really the Canada we think we have.

Rob Reiner said it plainly:

Christian nationalism isn’t fringe it’s baked into MAGA.

Same authoritarian playbook,
just with scripture citations.

We must continue his fight.

For Americans, the love for chain restaurants runs deep Some of the nation's largest restaurants boast of decades-long survival through economic downturns, stiffer competition, and changing American palates. And we still love them anyway. Why?

As someone that spent years managing for various chain companies, even ones you'd laugh at me for...

Go find a local restaurant.

These may hold nostalgia, some local jobs.

But they are literally serving you the same food in every place. The same minimum pay for the staff.

Give local a chance.

The real people taking advantage of the broken systems we have in place aren’t hungry kids or single moms — it’s the rich getting richer.

Not to be like “everything is gender” but here the feminized left is tasked with reforming and assuaging the masculinized right, like so many mothers blowing on boo boos.

There will be a reckoning of this regime and it's ruthless members. It is a matter of our will power, dedication to fighting for our democracy and freedoms, and standing up with strength and never capitulating to this heinous attempt to overthrow our Constitution! #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 #DV1 #Pinks

REP. @jamestalarico.bsky.social : “The biggest ‘welfare queens’ in 🇺🇸 are corporations that don’t pay a penny in federal taxes, and CEOs who get a tax deduction for flying on a private jet — not hungry kids, or working parents who work multiple jobs.”

Private Equity Finds a New Source of Profit: Volunteer Fire Departments

After taking over housing and healthcare, private equity is now buying up software used by volunteer fire departments — making it even harder for rural communities to respond to emergencies.

The only winners from private equity's price-gouging spree are wealthy investors.

RIP Rob Reiner.

I did not know him except for his role in The Wolf of Wall Street. You learn something new everyday.

I came across this clip from All in the Family. The dialogue here is so relevant today. Pop culture reflects politics & history, and is on repeat.

Thanks a LOT, Republicans!

I mean-what is it-80% or more of Americans WANT common sense gun laws & yet they've ignored this forever now!

I wonder what his grandkids think about him acting like that. How awful to have a dirty old man for a Grandad and for the whole world to know it.

On balance, though, it's not at all clear that the median 13-year-old is better off spending several hours a day on Instagram, Snapchat, or TikTok. Particularly when we know how ruthless these companies are about building features to boost engagement and send children ever further down infinite rabbit holes of content. To the platforms' chagrin, this line of thinking is rapidly becoming the global conventional wisdom.

Australia's ban on under-16s on social media is well on its way to becoming the global norm. I wrote about how platforms lost the argument www.platformer.news/australia-so...

When a woman thinks critically, people often label her difficult before they ever engage with her ideas. The label is a shortcut. A way to dismiss her without confronting what she is actually saying. Critical thinking is powerful because it interrupts comfort. It asks why things are the way they are. It exposes contradictions that many would rather leave unspoken. So instead of addressing her insight, the world questions her tone. It reframes her clarity as attitude. It turns her precision into a flaw. But women who think critically are not difficult. They are necessary. They hold up mirrors that others avoid. They name truths that would otherwise stay buried. To think for yourself is not an invitation for conflict. It is an act of presence. It is choosing awareness over silence. And every time a woman refuses to apologize for her mind, she shifts the world a little closer to honesty. From Her Archives "

“Women who think critically are always labeled difficult because it saves the world from admitting they’re right” — bell hooks

Zohran Mamdani tells New Yorkers how to deal with ICE Mamdani's message is a direct affirmation of their rights, urging non-compliance with ICE agents who lack the proper judicial authority.

Mamdani specifically highlighted the limitations on ICE’s authority to enter private spaces. He clearly stated that ICE agents “cannot enter into private spaces like your home, school, or private area of your workplace without a judicial warrant...

Despite what you hear from fossil fuel-funded politicians, the U.K has just generated a record amount of clean, domestic wind energy.

Enough to power 23 million homes!

U.K decarbonisation policy is a recipe for energy security.

Never Forget: The Republicans voted against social security in the 1930’s, against Medicare in the 1960’d and the Affordable Health Care Act in 2010. They have never cared about anyone except wealthy white men.

They simply don’t care! 👇

A wage for housework? India's sweeping experiment in paying women — BBC News Some 118 million women in 12 Indian states receive unconditional cash transfers, one of the world’s largest experiments.

If they can do it in India, surely we can do it here. Good ideas deserve to be copied and propagated.

Breaking down the bills some Alberta oil and gas companies aren’t paying — The Narwhal From lease payments owed to landowners to mounting municipal tax bills and more, we break down the ways Alberta oil and gas companies are shirking their bills

Of course fossil fuels shirks all their responsibilities to the communities they ravage & the countries they exploit. They’re only about extraction for THEIR OWN biggest profit. Then they leave the mess for taxpayers to clean up so we end up paying twice—subsidies to them to pollute & we pay cleanup

Hello everybody! Welcome to Tuesday 🌮 You breezed right through Monday! Hope many can ease off this week, slow down, & get to enjoy your surroundings. If not, take hold of those reins & carry on, with the determination you have always showed. Onward now! Be careful. Be safe.

Be you.
Take no shit.
