This is not just a good ad. It’s a fucking great ad. It was honest, accurate, not aggressive, exactly what I would want to tell my American friends. My background is in advertising. This is a pass. Trump is a mad fucking king.👑 💩

I just ignored them and walked in, despite the leering weirdo holding his phone camera up (flash on!) from across the street.

What were they hoping to accomplish other than making me feel super uncomfortable?

You wanna know something fucked?

This was a fundraiser for medical aid in Gaza, and guess who *still* showed and filmed me outside?

That’s right!

The same lawyer who travelled to Montreal to clandestinely film me on a private night out with friends.

Zero life, quite sad actually!

Yesterday, I heard doctors speak who had recently been on the ground in Gaza with Doctors Without Borders.

They shared videos and photos.

It was…crushing. I can’t find the words to tell you how harrowing and devastating their testimony was.

They, and their Palestinian colleagues, are heroes.

Incredibly, NONE of the broadsheets reported the death of the great Jamaican-born theatre pioneer Yvonne Brewster, or ran an obit.

Here's a fitting tribute... please share and let's celebrate this giant of British theatre. 🙏 💪

We are at the point where Danielle Smith would rather violate charter rights and create a constitutional crisis…

Instead of paying teachers fairly and giving kids the classrooms they need.

Read that again.

Because this is where we are.

There was never any deal to be had anyway, so this just pulls off the façade.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

I got mine, but I’m pretty proactive. There’s truly been no push on this. My doctor asked me if I wanted the flu shot (which I also got). Imagine how much uptake there might be if they had promoted it like that.

A couple of years ago I learned that my little sister is a huge renaissance faire person. Complete with costumes and storylines. I like to give her a hard time about this. Today she responded to my jokes with, “how’s your Midsomer Murders marathon going?”

Well played.

The President has immunity.

Now Stephen Miller is telling ICE they have federal immunity while “fulfilling their duties”.

We have a dictator with a secret police force and both have immunity from prosecution.

This is fascism.

They can and will do whatever they want.

Reportedly, the donor who gave the pay for the military is Timothy Mellon. I wonder is this “donation” exceeded the amount of Mellon’s most recent tax break? What will Mellon get in return? Is it legal for private citizens to direct “donations” to the federal government, versus the general fund?

Yes they can and they do... for specific programs like pharmacare and dental or building hospitals.

The issue in Alberta and Ontario is the daily operations budgeting, withhold that funding and the whole system breaks and the feds will be blamed.
