Christian Bale really said “Dictatorship for Dummies” and didn’t even blink. Maybe running a country should require relevant education and job experience…not a résumé featuring a felon, con man, and failed businessman. #USDemocracy #RisingBlue

Julie Lakehomer = Robert Pantano. And I think it's clever that she has done this. But also sad. It shows that women still are only taken seriously when people think she is a man (Note: I have no definitive proof. But I have a hunch).

People have been ready to take this guy seriously without knowing anything about him. He's been on a bunch of podcasts. He's apparently been to book signings but I can't find any images of that. He's only "revealed" himself recently. But she has been a writer with Pursuit of Wonder for years.

If the wealthiest people paid taxes regularly, public libraries could benefit from predictable budgets and could fund long-term projects with confidence knowing money will consistently come in. Instead, they must cross their fingers and hope a celebrity will pitch in once in a while. 🙄

How weak and scared are cops that they felt they needed to kill a dog that approached them wearing a fucking tshirt? Cops at best are useless and at worst they are scared, weak, trigger-happy psychos.

#CalgaryStampede where small-dicked men compensate by snapping a terrified, defenseless calf's neck. And where small-brained people call animal-abuse tradition. F*** these people. #alberta

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" $1 trillion in tax cuts for the richest 1%... "That's just how it is."

The media talking like Canada hasn't had an amazing soccer team since the early 2000s, like the first goal at the world cup for Canada wasn't back in 1991. Talking like little kids didn't already have a soccer hero in Christine Sinclair. Happy for the guys, but it isn't new for Canada. #WorldCup2026

JP Morgan had to pay out the biggest single class action to Epstein victims to date. They worked with Mark Carney to help Prince Andrew overcome the financial fall out of the Epstein allegations. Toronto is being mutilated by an Epstein network.

So JP Morgan is behind the Billy Bishop expansion push, but the people it hired to lobby all levels of government didn’t disclose it in the lobbyist registries. From @rwarnica.bsky.social: www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

I find it ironic that the people opposing data centres have no problem with factory farming and the complete razing of nature so that the mono-crops that feed the animals in factory farms can be created. #datacentres #datacenters #farming #factoryfarms

“$164M is not going to come close to addressing the catastrophic impacts of another pipeline. You cannot protect us by throwing money at us, we have no use for it.”

Kars4Kuds is actually just an zionist organization disguised as a kids charity: "In her decision, Judge Apkarian noted Oorah's programs include "matchmaking for young adults and gap year trips to Israel for 17 and 18-year-olds.""

Doug Ford by stealth privatizing Ontario health and public education, which NOBODY wants or voted for. And only his side gig after Greenbelt, highways, luxurious spa crony corruption he's been caught at. Ya know, crony corruption, which is what Trump is also ALL ABOUT. #ProtectOntarioFromDougFord

But #TrumperFord really needs his #GravyPlane to fly to Texas & Florida to make his secret deals to buy #MadeInUSA trains and nuclear reactors and to sell off #Ontario's water & mineral rights. Rallies next Saturday, April 25, everywhere. #FightFordCorruption #ProtectOntarioFromDougFord #onpoli

⬇️ Doug Ford dangled his shiny ✨ new jet ✈️ before us to DISTRACT FROM his hammering through of an omnibus bill that includes removing Freedom of Information Regulations without debate.

This sounds like Doug Ford! #ProtectOntarioFromDougFord #Ontario #OnPoli

Andrew Lawrence@ndrew.bsky.social

what do you call it when the president steals an unfathomable amount of wealth from the treasury and then declares it illegal to investigate him

TPS are not identifying the officers. This sure makes me feel safer knowing that cops arrested for sexually assaulting people could be out there still being cops. #toronto

So, medical help for people dealing with perimenopause and menopause have little resprces in Ontario. They've just launched Effica Health in Ontario and guess what??? It's NOT covered by OHIP. It's a private health clinic. Thanks for nothing! #ontario #onpoli #stopprivatization #OHIP

If we actually want to appreciate moms, we should be providing free childcare, healthcare, and guaranteed income for stay-at-home parents to put more money in families’ pockets and ensure no SAHP is reliant on a partner for their economic security. Idk I think that’s better than 15% off a vacuum.

So now what is to stop Trump ... I mean Ford from using his personal cell for all government business?? He should not be allowed to do that at all!!! #OntarioPolitics #DougFord #DougTrump #OnPoli

Isaac Callan@isaaccallan.bsky.social

Ontario NDP has written to RCMP, province's top civil servant and IPC, worrying the changes to FOI could lead to deleted records. Gov says "established records‑retention policies" still cover all records. But Ford's cellphone has government work on it and won't be subject. #Onpoli

This is so fucked. Crooked government in Ontario. But we knew that. Would have been good to know in what specific ways it's crooked currently, though.https://www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/politics/queens-park/article/ford-government-passes-budget-that-lets-premier-and-ministers-keep-office-records-secret/

Doug Ford is turning me into an activist. I have a new hobby because he cannot continue to dismantle this province. He's turning it into a dictatorship. #FuckFord #Ontario #OnPoli
