He and Susan Collins blend in so nicely with the furniture it's easy to forget they exist at all.

Objection: What Happened in Dallas County Was Not a Glitch What happened in Dallas County tonight should scare the hell out of you.

What just happened in Dallas County is one of the most blatant voter suppression operations I've ever seenβ€”and it happened in a *primary*.

In March. Imagine November.

I broke it down here:

Drax still burning 250-year-old trees sourced from forests in Canada, experts say Exclusive: report by Stand.earth says subsidiary of power plant received truckloads of whole logs at biomass pellet sites

New @stand.earth report shows that zebras don’t change their stripes.

Drax is STILL sourcing wood from ecological significant forests in BC, still the single biggest carbon emitter in Britain, and still receiving subsidies from the UK Gov.

Republicans are for the most part lining up in support of the murder of Alex Pretti and the Trump Regime policy to strip us of our Constitutional Rights. After Trump declared the 1st and 2nd Amendment rights are no longer valid Republicans will have to answer for their Anti- Gun stance this fall.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like RenΓ©e Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

It's prettu insane how much the Lockheed Martin shills are pressing this case. Their test pilot Billie Flynn (ex RCAF) actually used the phrase 'trump derangement syndrome' today. It's no small feat fighting the power that industry holds over the RCAF but it is worthwhile.

With all this talk of how to end Russias war against Ukraine, and a cease fire, keep this in mind:

If Ukraine ceases firing, Ukraine will cease to exist.

If Russia ceases firing. the war will cease to exist.

Pretty clear

BBC news headline "US denies visas to ex-EU commissioner and others over social media rules".

Another one to file under "This is NOT normal behaviour by a supposed democracy and ally".

This isn't about censorship, if it was the US would be sanctioning Russian and Chinese government figures who really are suppressing free speech.

β€œFree speech” for me but not for thee!

According to this doctrine, the U.S. should be β€œallowed” to meddle in other countries Foreign Affairs and spread hate speech & anti-democratic propaganda on U.S. owned platforms!

Canada just signed a deal with Alberta to build a bitumen pipeline through northern BC.

Putin will not stop unless he is forced to. There is no 'peace' plan. NATO needs to step in. With or without the Americans.

Yep. Mixed fleeta offer better overall capability. We don't need every fighter to be a stealth attack plane. The Gripen is more than effective for 95%+ of the missions the air arm has flown over the last 30 years. Better availability. Lower operating costs. No need for special hangers.

The deepening ties between CSIS and resource companies | The Narwhal As the federal government earmarks resource extraction projects in the β€˜national interest,’ the companies building them are deepening ties to CSIS

As the CDN prime minister designates select projects like Coastal GasLink and LNG Canada in the "national interest," the companies behind them continue to form deep ties with Canada's spy agency and other federal law enforcement. Here's a look at why this matters. thenarwhal.ca/csis-resourc...

Alberta invokes notwithstanding clause to stop court challenges of transgender laws The Alberta government has invoked the Charter’s notwithstanding clause to protect from legal challenge a trio of laws affecting transgender youth and adults.

So is Mark Carney going to go along with the suspension of human rights by MAGA government in Alberta?
You cant' do nation-building by allowing an autocratic government to suspend the charter rights of citizens.
Just say no Mark.
it's pretty straightforward.
