Heinous! @mark-carney.bsky.social, you need to look into this and stop whatever this is in order to help protect Greenland's sovereignty: "A Greenland Energy representative has said a vessel carrying its 300 shipping containers of drilling equipment is to set sail from Canada on 12 September."

Absolutely heinous! MAGAts are ruining their own country. They must STFU and get out of other countries' affairs.

I don’t care what side of the aisle you’re on - if your position is that the president of the United States and his family should be immune from IRS scrutiny, you’re unqualified to be the Attorney General. It’s an indictment on our entire system that 50 GOP Senators don’t agree.
I have not purchased any American produce (or any other American products for that matter) since trump returned to office. At first, it was all #ElbowsUp and now it is also real concern with food safety.

Outstanding! He is a vile individual and this was the correct finding. "The panel ruled that the manner in which Del Grande expressed his opposition was 'disgraceful, dishonourable or (and) unprofessional' and constituted 'conduct unbecoming of a member.'" www.thestar.com/news/gta/tor...

This is an extraordinary story, centred on a group of remarkable women, but it just makes me mourn for the millions of women and girls trapped in Afghanistan, denied not only the freedom to play sports, but to speak, learn and live as they choose. We must not forget them.
Banned from football at home, Afghan women's team reunite 8,000 miles away
Women in the team, which is recognised by Fifa, say football has given them freedom and independence.

Showing up and taking the 5th is not contemptuous, it’s a constitutional right. NOT showing up at all like Jim Jordan didn’t when he was subpoenaed? THAT is contempt.
The Associated Press@apnews.com · 5d agoBREAKING: A Senate committee votes to hold Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress over his refusal to answer questions at COVID hearing.
TALARICO: What they're doing in TX is they're redrawing the lines in middle of the decade, which is unprecedented. It's like changing rules after halftime bc you're worried the other team is going to win. It's cheating CHARLAMAGNE: More politicians should say that T: That they're cheating? C: Yes
It was revealed the president's bank accounts got shut down by Capitol One for money laundering but the media is too obsessed with Francesca Hong's take on Thanksgiving to notice.
@governor.pa.gov: "You know why he didn't sign [the housing bill]? Because he actually doesn't give a damn about people having affordable housing or people being able to put a roof over their head. He literally doesn't care. He only cares about himself."

Gerrymandering lets politicians choose their voters instead of the other way around. Until we end that, it will remain difficult to achieve the things most Americans already agree on.
Thou shalt not claim you are fighting fraud when you are the most corrupt leader of a country in the history of the entire world and it’s not close.

For decades, Republicans in Washington have told us that tax cuts would trickle down to workers. Instead, wealth and power have accumulated in the hands of the richest 1% at the expense of the rest of us. Trickle-down economics was never supposed to work. It was a hoax.
Phang: "Judge Sullivan has ordered Todd Blanche to appear with specific unredacted Epstein files, emails, and documents no later than 3 p.m. EST on Thursday, July 30th. But most importantly, Blanche must come and show his work..."
@ticats.bsky.social, it's time to get rid of this awful partnership! The TiCats should not be associated with a company with shady ownership, or online betting! "OnlySpins did not verify users’ ages and had been blacklisted by regulators in Poland, Italy and Greece." www.thestar.com/news/investi...
Public money should NEVER be used to fund private schools. Ontario needs a petition like this "Should the government of Ontario end its current practice of funding two duplicate school systems?" Funding two systems is wasteful and irrepsonsible. We need #onepublicsystem!
Janet French@jantafrench.bsky.social · 10mo agoElections Alberta has approved a citizen-initiated petition application to gather signatures in support of the proposal to end public funding to independent/private schools. Calgary teacher Alicia Taylor says she brought it forward because it could help improve funding for public schools. #AbEd
Why am I not surprised....more #fordlies....
Jenny Lee Shee@jennyleeshee.bsky.social · 3w agoAre you trying to tell me that Doug Ford’s outrage about MPPs staying in hotels was purely performative and that they were actually just following advice given to them by members of Doug’s cabinet in order to be sure they rammed through legislation intended to destroy the province? Impossible. 🙃
🚨Caught on camera: Ken Paxton PANICS when asked about owning 15 homes worth $9 million on a $153,000 government salary. Paxton dodges, stammers, then says “I’d like to keep today to law enforcement!” Classic Paxton—refuses to answer, cuts the presser short. Texans deserve better.
Watching his mate De Chambeau getting his arse kicked the last 2 days has been particularly enjoyable.

Bryson de Chambeau proving beyond doubt that he’s a prick. #RyderCup
