After removing the necklace at the request of the Germans, Taylor Swift isn’t going to release a statement about the Nazi necklace, the next announcement will likely be about the wedding or that she’s pregnant. And that’s how you normalize Nazism.

22. At the Old Mill, part of the historic bridge was washed out by the torrent of water. Cars were driving straight into the river.

Two photos of the Old Mill Bridge. On the left, a view looking down the bridge from a spot next to it, showing how the earth at the end of the bridge has been washed away. On the right, an aerial view showing the bridge in the river, the ends having been washed away.

23. At the spot where Bloor Street crosses the river, you'll find the high water mark displayed on the side of the massive bridge.

It's a stunning reminder of the power of the storm that struck Toronto that night.

A modern photo of the Bloor Street bridge across the Humber, taken from ground level below the bridge. High up on the side of the bridge, a series of wave symbols have been posted to show the high water mark. Below them, a woman points up toward them — about 5-6 times her height.

More - apparently Carney’s government doesn’t care that Trump has greater control of Canada’s rare minerals.

Washington buying stakes in Canadian mines creates national-security dilemma for Ottawa - as the U.S. secures access to Canada's rare minerals - and further erodes our sovereignty.

Will Mark Carney's liberals stop this blatant interference?

Ok this is a spooky Halloween moment:

The Toronto Star’s Susan Delacourt (who I admire!) published a SUPER similar piece literally within MINUTES of mine today.

We literally used the same examples!And had no way of knowing about each other’s work!!

WHAT DOES THIS MEANNNNNN!!!!! 👻🎃

Tweet from Susan Delacourt sharing her op-ed on Pierre Poilievre’s similar policies to Trump’s executive orders, which she posted today at 4:57pmET

What I'm saying is fashion plays a huge role and it lures others who may not be aware of the context of an item or a slogan's meaning. The MAGA face has been happening for some time - I will now refer to it as the face of fascism.

Wow, I was not aware of all of this and now it appears more evident at what Tay Tay is doing. Look at her! Her appearance has changed drastically - heavy filler and botox. Look I'm not criticizing the use of botox - hell, I use it. And I wore flower print dresses in the 90s (gen X )

“The campaign to "Protect the Family" is driven by ultra-conservative efforts to impose "traditional" and patriarchal interpretations of the family, and to move rights out of the hands of family members and into the institution of ‘the family’” #TaylorSwift

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

It's rich girl entitlement and racism wrapped in glitter and a bow - with some nazi symbols to top it all off. And I was a swift fan and like a fool a bought a couple of the variations. I think I will be selling them on ebay now
