JD Vance: "We don't want the next administration, whoever -- god forbid you're gonna have President El-Sayed in three years ... "

It will either be harnessed by progressive politics, to balance the scales of society and make a fairer economy for all… Or it will fuel fascism. That’s the choice. And happily, it's up to us!

"most unique to the US." Utter fucking hogwash. Eat the Rich is universal.

Of course there are many factors shaping this shift, most unique to the US. But there is an underlying feeling that we share in Canada, and its importance cannot be overstated.

Yesterday I had an echocardiogram. I asked the ultrasound technician to spill on the results. She said that there was nothing too worrisome. That doesn't make me feel too confident tho, cause tomorrow I go for ECG stress test. My brother had two heart attacks the two times he went for this test

The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers has quantified external shade data in its handbooks since the mid-20th century. Did it really take almost a century to simulate how thousands of trees cool the entire ambient air mass of a neighbourhood?

Research cited by Singapore's urban planners suggests shading roads with trees can reduce street-level temperatures by up to 2.6 degrees Celsius — separately, models suggest tree shade on buildings can meaningfully lower air-conditioning demand nearby share.google/Ym3TPtGTIPzi...

In other Michigan news, the state looks set to elect it's first transgender lawmaker. Joanna Whaley won her Democratic primary and will compete in November for a state house seat, beating a primary opponent who tried and failed to disqualify her for not running under her deadname

Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.

Hey @mark-carney.bsky.social put this in context of climate change and then end of humanity.... But don't worry dear, there wont every be a film where you're depicted as a climate killing oil whore, not one will be around to create cinema. #cdnpoli

Good morning Bluesky ☀️ My grandad told me he saw the Titanic - from the outset he warned all the people that the ship would sink, but nobody listened to him. He knew he was right and didn't give up. He warned them again & again, until eventually they kicked him out of the cinema.

Top Israeli leaders are indicted for human rights abuses. The Leahy law forbids giving military aid, training, or equipment to foreign military if there is credible proof they committed gross human rights abuses. Therefore military aid to Israel is illegal. Yet this is the "progressive" position?

El-Sayed: "Mike, I'm gonna say it right now, I know you're gonna say no because you're a coward: Five debates, alright? ... By the time we're done, you are not gonna have safe quarter from people holding you accountable to what you've done for them here in Michigan. We will send you back to Florida"

All the projections I've ever worked with predicted an acceleration in the rate of global warming if we continued to increase our emissions. The fact that so many people are shocked about this honestly surprises me. I guess no one ever reads things like the IPCC or National Climate Assessment 🤷‍♀️

I warned, I begged, I pleaded. I told you so. Now Canadians, I beg you to demand that @mark-carney.bsky.social and his Liberal govt back away from his attempts to appease western extremists with fossil fuel projects humanity and nature can't afford. #cdnpoli

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"

BREAKING: Donavan McKinney has defeated incumbent Shri Thanedar in the MI-13 Democratic Primary! McKinney is an unapologetic progressive while Thanedar is a pro AIPAC pro genocide corporate puppet. A huge win for working people in MI!

Pure psychopath... No empathy for victims, loads of it for the predators. When trump says he feels bad for someone, he really means "I can relate to what he is going through" Take note, he only ever feels bad for scumbags, conmen, abusers and rapists

Metro's "budget" brand Food Basics allegedly had ungraded "Mexican" beef on sale today... Regular price $44.07/kg $19.99 /lb. Sale price $30.82 /kg $13.98 /lb. Claimed $30.82 avg. ea. but I saw none for less than $45. I'm not buying the BS on stabilization.

Hey journalists, stop saying somebody "destroyed" Trump with their questions or testimony. He is not destroyed and keeps wrecking our lives. False hope does us no good

“I will not stand beside someone who has allowed distinctly anti-American sentiment to enter our public dialogue.”—Rep. Hillary Scholten, D-Mich. So much for "vote blue no matter who." Wild how Stevens took $60M in dark money from a foreign lobby, but its the brown guy Scholten calls anti-American
