I say this with no ill will or animosity: if you hate the Democratic Party, then please don’t run for our nomination. Don’t use our resources. Don’t rely on our volunteers. Don’t use our infrastructure. Don’t ask Democrats to invest their time, money, and energy in your campaign.

We do the same thing in Ontario. We use taxpayer money to ensure that energy production is less efficient, and prices remain high.

Mike Levin@mikelevin.org

The Trump administration just paid Invenergy $765 million to cancel four wind projects. That brings the running total to roughly $2.5 billion in taxpayer money spent to stop energy from being built. Think about that. At a time when electricity demand is rising,

People need to look up who Dietrich Bonhoeffer was.

Rep. Brandon Gill: "We particularly need the left to tone down the rhetoric ... somebody is gonna listen and believe they are the next Dietrich Bonhoeffer and act on that and that's what we're seeing here."

Republicans are desperately trying to secure the Snake Handler vote.

JD Vance: "One of the things I love about the American church is there are all of these different pathways to God ... sometimes with snake handlers, sometimes with speaking in tongues, sometimes with a beautiful Catholic mass. But I think all of these pathways really matter."

Original ANTIFA! The torch has been passed, the struggle continues today.

82 years ago, 14,000 Canadians landed on Juno Beach, many of whom would never come home.   On the anniversary of D-Day, we pause to honour those who served and sacrificed.

You know what we don't talk enough about? Queen & Annie Lennox/David Bowie rehearsing 'Under Pressure' in 1992. So much going on! Everyone's clothes, Bowie with a lit cig throughout, where Annie PROPER GOES FOR IT, George Michael singing along in the background. The amazing vocals. Yes, please!

The Cuban people welcome almost a million Canadians to their country every single year. The fact that we do nothing while they starve & suffer because of the whims of a pedophile is an absolute disgrace.

Cuba's minister of energy confirmed reserves are gone — with just enough diesel left to keep hospitals online. The UN has classified Washington's blockade a humanitarian crisis.

He's everything conservatives want without the open racism, transphobia, and pedophlia.

PM Carney on the privatization of federal assets: "What we're looking to do with all the tools we have is to catalyze building of this economy. If there are some assets that the federal government has that can help with that process, we'll look at it as part of a comprehensive approach."

Rubio: "You've got friends who have been shot in the head because they're out protesting, and it's heartbreaking to him to see these people are abused in this way and have no measures to take against their own government as a result of it. This is a vicious regime."

Happy May Day! Below is an incomplete list of the Lefts hard fought labour victories! Things that conservatives fought tooth & nail against every step of the way. If you currently enjoy anything on the list, thank a union, thank the Left!

If you don’t like airports now, they are about to get a whole lot worse, but at least everything will cost more!

Scott Robertson@sarobertson.bsky.social

Transport Minister Steven MacKinnon on privatizing airports: "We're in the early stages of a process with airport authorities and other partners to determine the best way forward."

The press sanitizing this man, a blatant racist, fascist, and proven rapist and pedophile is why we’re here today. It doesn’t look like it’s going to stop.

PBS News@pbsnews.org

President Donald Trump was somberly contemplative and unusually conciliatory after confronting what he saw as a third attempt on his life in less than two years. https://to.pbs.org/4e9MR4j

Of course they lost money, it costs people like $1.25 for them to send a letter from Halifax to Whitehorse. They are a public service, here for everyone’s benefit. They don’t have to turn a profit!

As I do every year on 4/20, I will be following the Jeopardy! interview segment tonight by saying “Dream blunt rotation. Now let’s get back into the Jeopardy! round.”

"There's one thing that's worse than being uneducated and it's being badly educated. And Mr. Carney is very badly educated on economics." -- Pierre Poilievre says, as water dribbles down his chin

The police do not exist to help or protect you. They exist to protect the wealthy elite and capital.

Matthew Gault@mjgault.bsky.social

In February, a farmer went a few seconds over his time at a city council meeting when speaking out against a datacenter. It's a $200 fine for trespassing, but he's vowed to fight it. We've also got the police report from the incident.

The 3 distinct qualities that make a conservative a conservative: 1) Lack of empathy. Nothing is a problem/issue until it directly affects them 2) Facts, evidence, data, expertise do not matter. Only their feelings or perception of the issue does 3) They would rather hurt others than help themselves

I'm surrounded by investment properties that don't clear their sidewalks. Owner next door lives in Toronto! and the sidewalk's hardly ever shovelled. 🫤 It's a business: either hire someone to clear it, force your tenants to do it via contract, or do it yourself. www.ctvnews.ca/kitchener/ar...

He just openly said he is stealing $10 billion from the American people and Conservatives clap for more.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "I want to let you know that United States is going to make a contribution of $10 billion to the Board of Peace." (Congress has not appropriated this money!)

They’re openly saying they are going to rig the election and democrats are still doing nothing.
