I'm betting that a lot of people who respond to polls saying they feel more unsafe in Toronto now are conflating the feeling of "I am physically unsafe and under threat in my environment" with "there was a homeless man on the sidewalk on my way to the Eaton Centre and I don't want to see that."
Q: Did you know about Ilhan Omar's house search in advance? TRUMP: Well, I understand they are looking at her very carefully. I've always found her to be totally crooked personally, but that has nothing to do with me. I think she's a terrible person. She comes from a country that is a non-country.

Chants of 'Don't protect the women, we can fight. We don't need your fascist shite' rang out in Glasgow tonight. As anti-fascists, women's rights groups and trade unionists protested against 'patriot platform' and their supporters pushing their racist agenda in the city. Things you love to see ✊
more evidence for the idea that the entire party has forgotten how to run competitive elections

Donald Trump made a deal with Putin for 36 million barrels of Russian diesel, but that amount won’t move US fuel prices lower. It’ll only fund Putin’s bloody war machine in Ukraine. Putin continues to play Trump like a fiddle.

I, for one, believe Trejo here. And Ben Shapiro makes pond scum look wholesome by comparison.
Ant@agramuglia.bsky.social · 12h agoSo Danny Trejo was manipulated and tricked into being in Ben Shapiro's newest film. Holy shit.
Maybe I’d have thought twice about slamming Shane Gillis and supporting Ilhan Omar if I had known it would upset so many stupid fucking assholes.
Smith is a flat earther, who believes in chem tails, thinks smoking is good for you and wants us all to pay double for our health care. She has no respect for anyone or thing. pressprogress.ca/danielle-smi... She is not that smart. We need to pressure her and get her to resign. #ableg #abpoli #ucp

Orlagh O’Kelly@orlaghokelly.bsky.social · 3d agoThe UCP is a far right government, banning books and flags in schools. As well as the teaching of oppression of racial groups. The feds respond not by defending us, but appointing the guy (Malcolm Lavoie) who drafted these Orwellian laws to be a judge. www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/73871ad...

Andy Craig@andycraig.bsky.social · 14h agoThere will be a lot of equivocating about all the times search warrants have been executed on members of Congress for corruption investigations and the like, and it can't be stressed enough in how many ways HSI raiding Ilhan Omar is extremely not like that.

Should Danielle Smith be able to order your local council to vote to approve rezoning for a massive AI data centre? And threaten to fire your democratically elected mayor if they vote against it? This latest provincial overreach isn't about density. It's about your legal right to a fair hearing.
Dan Levy is a class act, unlike whoever this dipshit Shane Gillis is. Fuck your sexism and misogyny, Shane. I'm sure there's a reason I'm a fan of Dan and have no idea who your dumb ass is. 🙄
you heard her. do it.

The whole Shane Gillis SNL thing is just another reminder that it's so easy to be a shitty, lazy comedian if you're just willing to expose the fact that you a) hate women and b) haven't had an original joke idea since the Reagan administration
Had the great honor of literally standing with @repilhan.bsky.social and I stand with her today. She represents my Minneapolis district and it will be a joy to vote for her again in November.

WASHINGTON—Trump’s federal agents raid Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home over decades-old “immigration paperwork” her father filled out when she was a kid. No charges. Breaking DOJ norms. Over the cliff, folks.
