Crown jewel
I wondered where it originated

@kenlburns.bsky.social is a wonderful human. Truly worthy of your “best people” title.

Love to see how @margaretatwood.bsky.social put the run on Danielle Smith and her MAGA book burning scheme. This is priceless. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...
Why exactly would Putin want to poison Trump? If anything, he’s rather busy offering bloody sacrifices to Baphomet and all his fellow ghouls from the depths of hell just to keep this going for as long as possible.
He’s such a tool
Has it been a month already?
This offer still stands. Mainstream media should use my suggested headline and lead paragraph.
Corporate media and/or Bowser?

I see the Calif ruling has no bearing on Trumps conduct
Agreed
Who’s being held hostage? Skeletons in closet?
Copy that! 😘
We are pumped to be launching @meidascanada.ca today. Our first Meidas Canada townhalls take place this weekend. Charlottetown is sold out but there are still a few tickets available for the official tour launch in North Rustico PEI. The revolution starts now. @meidastouch.com
“Let spirit of Labour Day inspire us all to fight for a better future for our families, friends and even people we don’t know! If there’s a pro-democracy march get your feet in it to show MAGA politicians in 🇨🇦 we are ready to march for our democracy! #LabourDay #Canada 👀 youtu.be/frAtHdqsF3M?si…
This is not a drill!!!
Congrats @charlieangus104.bsky.social @meidascanada.ca for an awesome launch!! @meiselasb.bsky.social sounds very proud of you! I know I am 🇨🇦
Sooo many comments from across Canada … what did we day? 🇨🇦 youtu.be/frAtHdqsF3M?...
🥰
I’m looking forward to this!!! Yes! 💖
German banks and manufacturers embraced Hitler; that American corporations are doing the same is disappointing but unsurprising. They are greedy and spineless.
A “subtle” reminder for everyone…
This is one of the most annoying forms of punditry: Taking a reasonable concept (don't draw attention to things that help your opponent) and stretching it to the point of absurdity. This isn't an obscure House vote about ethanol subsidies, it's the military occupation of America. People will notice!
I remember thinking reality tv wouldn’t last
Contrary to the assertions of the "it's a trap!" crowd, Donald Trump's use of the military to intimidate and control Americans is unpopular -- and his approval on handling crime is underwater. www.findinggravity.net/trumps-milit...
As @vermontgmg.bsky.social observes, it's not just that the many red flags about Trump's health haven't become a news event like they almost certainly would have if Biden or Clinton were involved, it hasn't even become a news *story*: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/it-s-time-...
Here's some real talk: Dem strategists urging Dems to avoid the "trap" of talking about Trump occupying cities are saying this precisely in order to get quoted in NYT and elsewhere, and everyone involved in this charade knows it. @jamisonfoser.bsky.social and me: newrepublic.com/article/1998...
Another great pod! Dems really are in disarray.
Xi-Putin-Modi backslapping, along with easing global condemnation for Russia's aggressive war of territorial conquest, gives a sense of what the post-American world looks like. Not some sort of peaceful utopia, but a playground for authoritarians, with aggression abroad and repression at home.
Slow down, stay alert: The school rush returns #Kelowna
Ugh
Picket lines expected in some BC cities as unions begin job action #VictoriaBC
Trump’s use of National Guard during Los Angeles immigration protests is illegal, a judge rules #California

I keep blocking those and another pops up. I’ve read previously that it takes forever to get them taken down. I’ve seen numerous deep fakes of celebrities hawking the “pink salt recipe.” I’ll never get used to them. I refuse to accept this as normal.
remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature
It would be an interesting test case if some masked men in an unmarked car who failed to identify themselves were shot at by someone in self-defense. I wonder if Mr. Silent Majority Foundation would side with the person using their "God-given" 2nd Amendment rights, or those masked government agents?
www.castanet.net/news/Canada/... City fines Montreal church for hosting MAGA-affiliated singer Sean Feucht concert - Castanet.net He came to Kelowna too
2/ If Trump cared about lowering crime rates, then why did he cut the gun violence prevention programs? Maybe @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social & others could talk about that. "In Chicago alone, seven organizations lost almost $16 million." www.thetrace.org/2025/08/trum...
The driver knows how to crank the wheel to the right. I saw it! They just couldn’t time it properly? So painful to watch 😖
And Poilievre wants a Stand Your Ground style law in Canada
Dances With Wolves was my first introduction, but definitely not the last.
Aw, man. A great Canadian: his presence was so strong, no matter what he did. Rest in peace.
💔
💔
Finally read this and yes, I completely agree
This does a good job ad links to it. But basically, a pretty convincing case for all the weirdness adding up to stroke. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/it-s-time-...
Or conforms
Seriously
A mere ten months ago. Nothing about Trump complies with those historical metrics. *sigh*
I came back to bring up Whitewater
Yes
Delish
Why not both?
MAHAhahahahahaha 😭
MAHAhahahaha
“Refuses to back down” is your brand
You know all those slasher-horror movies where they go in the haunted house or down the basement? And you scream, "OMG, how TF could they be so dumb!?" Yeah, well – that's America right now, with RFK jr as the head of HHS, including the CDC, NIH, etc. No good endings. Insane AF.

I don’t have any answers. lol
My lesson was to stay in Canada. My children will have a better life
Cross border lessons?
Lmao
They skipped the meal
Both of my adult children belong to BC unions. I, on the other hand, worked for $3.35 an hour without sick leave or benefits for over a decade in the States. I made (optional) tips & tipped out, but was taxed 8% on total food and bevy sales. BC Servers make $17.85 plus tips which prob average 18-20%
Everything we take for granted at work — weekends, sick leave, safer conditions, even the end of child labor — exists because of unions.
They fought the restrictions tooth and nail
There is no “maybe” here. He listens to Laura Loomer FFS.
There is no “maybe” here
And that so-called middle has been Overton window shifted multiple times
This is exactly right! The Right’s core claim is that they represent an authentic, “real" America that is constantly being victimized, made to suffer under the yoke of leftist/liberal overreach, and therefore rightfully aggrieved. And too many Democrats/liberals look at that and go: “I agree.”
Hey, Trump actually said something nice about Canada… “Thank you very much, Canada, we appreciate it.” Wait, scratch that, it was wrong and moronic as usual.

Before getting dressed
Oz revealed
The Tea Party was covered in the press like it was a spontaneous eruption of populist anger, but those protests drew far fewer people than the recent protests against Trump's administration. The "Tea Party" was just a well-funded organized, right wing movement promoted by friendly media outlets.
Gawd he looks like shit. No wonder he wears orange foundation
On Labor/Labour Day?
Did this coincide with women tossing their slips? I’m old enough to remember when nylons and slips were standard. Btw, I loved Madonna immediately and my hair and fashion choices were influenced by her—greatly after leaving home.
The far right are devious and relentless in their pursuit of maintaining white supremacy
3/ See it's not hard: @gregsargent.bsky.social shows how it's done if you are serious about the journalism and less worried about access: "Trump/RFK are decapitating our public health system, a pillar of American greatness." newrepublic.com/article/1998...
There are about 100 other ways to write this headline with facts, context & clarity. "pushing boundaries' ain't it. Here's a suggestion: The Trump Kennedy alliance results in the severe covid vaccine restrictions & more debuncked autism conspiracy theories. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/29/u...
📌
We can think of four different kinds of ground/methods for “truth”:
This is "the one big trick" that the right has mastered. They present their movement as just "the authentic voice of the volk outraged by Democratic overreach," when really what they're doing is just old fashioned political mobilization. Organize a passle of pissed off people & call it a movement.
🎯
What these Schatz posts say to me is that Dem elected officials like him seem incapable of perceiving the right as a *political movement.* The response to Covid mitigation and the Floyd protests was not a spontaneous reaction...it was a right wing backlash organized by a reactionary movement.
Nutlick doing his thing
