Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR. We need a data center moratorium — now.

He’s not even in yet &he’s doing more than almost any Dem has since Führer was elected. 🤷‍♀️Think he’ll do fine, if racist, phobic🇺🇸 can get past his name. Führer makes sure to emphasize the Hussain in BHO, I’m quite sure he &cronies will emphasize Abdul’s. 🇺🇸’s job is to make sure that backfires.🤷‍♀️

El-Sayed: "Once a government agency like ICE is told it has impunity to do the worst things and violate the highest law of the land, which is the Constitution itself, I don't think you can reform or retrain. I think we need to start from scratch ... I think we need to abolish it."

So transparent of Thug (&Reform Alliance)🙄 More massive cuts to chronically underfunded health care system under ENORMOUS strain.+aging population, stratospheric⬆️ in respiratory viruses &sequelae, mental health care cut strain &lack of affordable LTC spaces, &CUTS are what they think is needed?!🤬

Ford government decides Ontaians do not have the right to know what is being cut from our hospitals.

Ford has demanded a 3 year plan for cuts but refuses a freedom of information request to know what is being cut.
What is this government hiding?

Under Ford:
38 emergency rooms face permanent or temporary closures,
Emergency room wait times are up 67%, 
2.5 million Ontarians do not have a family doctor

Ford government told some Ontario hospitals last year tr three-year spending plans showing how they would e for tighter budgets in the coming years. As those pla egun to roll in, the government is promising that there mpact to services - but is declining to share them put doing so would be bad for the economy.
"Access is denied" to the 239 records, comprising about 2,000 pages,
the Ministry of Health said
after The Trillium filed a freedom of information request for
all three-year plans submitted by
Ontario hospitals.
ACCESS DEED
Releasing the plans "could be expected to be injurious to the province's financial interests or its ability to manage the economy, the ministry said in a statement.
Untano Hospital Assooston CEu Anthony Uale warneo in Janusty that the hospital sector faced "tough choices" and a $1-billion structural deficit thanks to inflation and a growing, aging population. Annual costs have risen by about six per cent in recent years, while tunding bumps of about Tour per cent have not kept up, he said.
By 2027-28, Ontario could be left with:
• 2,457 fewer hospital beds
• 1,20s Tewer registereo nurses
• 1,784 fewer personal support workers

Hospitals across the province struggled with
deficits, with many of them ending the year in the red.
The overall hospital deficit for 2024-25 was $360 milion, the CHA thanks to some year-end revenues including government funding.

YES! 🇨🇦Often uses by prescription. Using MJ for untreatable pain, inflammation, migraines, Crohn’s &sleep disorders has kept me sane, off more addictive &dangerous drugs like benzos, anti-psychotics for nausea, opioids &sleep meds.😃 Much safer than “legal” options &legalizing removes crime/dealers.🤷‍♀️

Talarico’s argument is simple: Stop treating marijuana like a crime. Legalize it. Regulate it. Tax it. Stop wasting police resources on low-level marijuana offenses. Clear the records of people whose lives have been derailed by nonviolent marijuana convictions.

Russia just used a cluster bomb in Kyiv Cluster bombs used against civilians is a war crime This has to end Putin has to be “put away” People can only take so much and there is absolutely no reason for this other than Russia are blood thirsty criminals

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?"

It just goes to show, politics works better when money (particularly corporate &special interest/lobby money) is TAKEN OUT of the equation. It’s not about who has the most money, it’s about who is best for the job. Look to the best, most appropriate policies &past behaviours, not the bank account.

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.

👏👏👏 Keep the legal pressure on 🇺🇸, don’t let them ignore the law &get away with it. Fight however, wherever &whenever you have to, this shouldn’t just fade away.

@nmdoj.bsky.social’s complaint alleges that "the federal government has refused, without adequate legal justification, to share records that could help investigators identify witnesses, corroborate evidence, and determine the full scope of crimes that occurred in New Mexico."

BREAKING: The New Mexico Department of Justice has sued Acting AG Todd Blanche and the DOJ, requesting the court for access to unredacted Epstein-related investigative files that the DOJ has been withholding.

Did you see how Apple, Amazon Walmart and other big companies are refunding the billions of dollars they got back from the federal tariff settlement to their customers, who ultimately bore the cost of higher prices? Yea, me neither.

So thankful 🇨🇦 went with Telsat &ditched Starkink. 😮‍💨😅 We abs cannot have our Arctic military dependent on a proven adversary for critical communications, esp when that adversary is aligned with a country threatening to invade us. Now do the same w Gripen 🤞

Our new contract with Telesat will help the Canadian Armed Forces communicate more effectively and securely across the North.
Creating up to 2,600 good jobs and strengthening our defence industry.

Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "

RFKJr claims Lyme disease was created by scientists,which is the closest he’s come to admitting that science exists. Meanwhile, Ötzi the Iceman, who died more than 5.3K years ago, had Lyme disease. Apparently prehistoric humans are part of the conspiracy. Get me off this timeline

Microsoft: $101 BILLION in profits. $12.5 BILLION in tax breaks. $176 BILLION in stock buybacks. 4,800 workers fired this week. 9,000 workers fired last year. Please don't tell me trickle-down economics works. It never did. Nothing trickles down.

Right in line w Project2025 plan to cull population. Eugenicists don’t want ppl in their “utopian society” that require ongoing support for medical conditions, poverty or age. Dump all safety nets, then round ‘em up to camps once they become homeless, as per proposed laws criminalizing unhoused.😔
