Our "centrist" politics would be considered "radical left" in the US. When you hear them talk about the "radical left" remember they mean YOU and people like you.

Thanks @rsmith670.bsky.social for this great diagram. I'd love to print it out and shove it down the throats of people who say Dems are killers!
If they have the images, when will they share them with the public in order to identify the individual?
"This is not who we are…" OH, PULLEEZE!!!!
Everyday in the USA someone is killed by means of a gun. Some I mourn more than others because many are just stats to me. When I have a backstory to consider, I might be more or less impacted emotionally by their death. I rank Kirk's death among these. He's somewhere way down the list—and dropping.
I say to Boris: Stuff it!
My sense of Blanchett is that his involvement in Federal politics is a condolence prize.He really wants to be the leader of Quebec, not merely its Premier and certainly not merely leader of a party with representatives solely from Quebec.He doesn't act like he's representing all residents of Quebec.
It's like the passing of the hot potato. At some point they'll find someone they can find guilty: appropriate political leaning, color, immigration status, gender …
Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, did not "lose" their lives. Their lives were taken from them.
I think you've provided the answer to your own question.
“Black women do not have the brain processing power to be taken seriously. You have to go steal a white person’s slot”. -Charlie Kirk
Without comment:
I agree with you that theyre doing damage, but is it more or less than the damage being done by Trump and his sycophants. (Good name for a garage band: Trump and the Sycophants)
Actually, HE doesn't believe it; he just wants YOU to believe it so he can continue to do whatever the f*** he wants.

The Florida SG stated originally that the withdrawal of vaccine mandates was a matter of personal liberty. Now it appears that there are some mandates that remain in place. If the issue is LIBERTY, then what is his reasoning for removing some mandates, while maintaining or re-instating others?
Aww-w, poor babies …
I've been caught. Oopsie! Wasn't thrilled about having to pay $75, but it's clearly a reminder I needed and I'll be more careful in the future. I disagree with Ford (yet again) and think they should NOT be scrapped.
"They say" … THEY seems to have lots to say, but then weasels out of the follow-up. THEY must be held accountable.
You've misunderstood; that is clear. OTHERS must respect it (the Constitution); the party of "law and order"/GOP — not so much.
Sorry, but that cartoonish illustration bothers me so very much that I just HAD to comment. Please acknowledge that sharks are cartilaginous. The illustration implies a boney skeleton.
I have never taken a like to Deen, but Bourdain had a warmth and sincerity that made him so very approachable and human. I never knew him, but I miss him.
Every accusation is a confession.
Numbers! Facts! Have you no shame!? /s
It's clearly a privacy issue and isn't doable, BUT I think health policy-makers should be required to disclose the vax status of themselves and their children. Questions arise when there is a conflict between what they want for themselves and their loved ones, and what they think others should have.
President “Grab ‘em by the pussy” and Vice President “I don’t give a shit.”
Ya' do what ya' gots t' do …
This doesn't matter in the least to Kevin O'Leary, but I've never liked him, and my opinion is unlikely to change.
Given his tendency to toot his own horn, why wouldn't Trump have "leaked" this information shortly after Epstein's death? (I have my doubts …)
Yes, anyone who is awake knows he is. The question is: What's to be done about it?
Not merely does the military go to war, the entire country goes to war.
I did just that some 40 years ago. My ex-colleagues were super-confused. it was one of the best decisions I ever made, including the loss of job security and pension-funding.
That's what he does BEST. It's the confidence with which he utters his lies that "impresses" me.
I understand how, but my credentials are not impressive, so I suspect he wouldn't believe me. I hope a public health professional can explain how this works.
The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024. Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay. The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year. Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M See the problem?
And yet there are "illicit drugs". Based on his logic, shouldn't there be no such controls on fentanyl, heroin, methamphetamine, … Let's start with cannabis.
It'll be suggested as a reasonable way for prisoners to pay for their room and board during their incarceration. !@#$
So, I wonder if the algorithm will be tweaked to reject claims, thus improving the profit for the AI company.
I wonder where he and his family will live in the event he loses the leadership review.
Pierre Poilievre is a lying little prick. Pierre Poilievre is a lying little prick. Pierre Poilievre is a lying little prick. Pierre Poilievre is a lying little prick. Pierre Poilievre is a lying little prick. Pierre Poilievre is a lying little prick.
Yeah, "the Trump administration says" a lot of stuff, much of which is what they want you to think, not necessarily what reflects reality.
SCHEME or SCAM?
There are billionaires out there ready to diversify their holdings even further and buy these farms at bargain basement prices. Then the farmers can work in minimum wage jobs with no benefits just like the migrants they've been hiring.
I could never figure out why Maine continued to support Collins.
Wealth, money, funding provides basics.A bit more is desirable to increase happiness by making certain options available to the individual. Beyond that, happiness doesn't grow with increased wealth, so why don't these individuals share with their employees, contractors and the rest of society?Greed.
I think the amount collected by the tariffs is actually 1,235% higher (or lower) than they've said.
The opinion expressed by Musk encourages a race to the end for the existence of humanity on earth. Resources, social space, psychological and physical health … these are attacked by those who want their people to outnumber others and thus promote a high birth rate. We are doomed.
Fantastic photo and the reward of patience. That being said, if I'd have planned this, the sky would have been thickly overcast, perhaps severe thunderstorms. So, the photographer also benefitted from a bit of luck.
I really dislike it when such old material is used. I must get into the habit of checking such things before I form an opinion about the post. In this case: ho-hum. If it had been current: good one!
They really don't want to invoke Article 25 until after the mid-terms. Before — Vance has a max of one elected term; after — Vance has a max of two elected terms.
So, if his latest appeal fails, $8 Trillion in tariff revenue (as a minimum) must be returned to the Americans who have paid the tariff –– or will Trump et al suddenly generate a much lower figure for tariff revenue?
The National Guardners
Stacey is Wrong, not surprisingly.
New numbers will be announced in the event his appeal of tariffs fails and the tariffs collected must be refunded. The new amount they will say has been collected by means of the tariffs will be much lower than the current claim.
This vile administration tried to deport children, in the middle of the night, to Guatemala. CHILDREN!
Who's in charge of the public toilettes?
Continuing with the burning house reference: He may have been focussed on the insurance money.
And the greatest challenge to the USA in 2025 is currently being addressed by their z-POTUS — the machinations of the Baseball Hall of Fame.
I second that: DON'T buy from the USA @mark-carney.bsky.social @liberalca.bsky.social
Probably not, but you can share in the joy of being very likely the first country with a Trillionaire. /s
Time to wake-up your Congressional rep and provide a reminder of that.
Just how ill must one be to qualify as "very ill"? Just how far away must the military be in order to be considered sufficiently far away to qualify for mail-in ballots — Alaska? Hawaii? Puerto Rico? Guam? ??
And now, cheap tourist accommodation. "If you build it, they will come …" In this case: I think not.
Frankenstein was more of a doctor than RFK Jr is, and RFK Jr is more of a monster than Frankenstein — who wasn't a monster at all.
Actually, Frankenstein was far more a real doctor than RFK Jr is, and RFK Jr is far more a monster than Frankenstein ever was.
Ooh … dastardly!
Be grateful for small blessings. Grateful, but suspicious. Yes, be suspicious. Suspicious of such blessings.
Trump blocked by judge hours before deporting 600 unaccompanied children
You too?
I think it's due to the coming together of a multitude of individual wishes, forming a grand community wish.
We ARE talking "brain death", right?
Demonstrates the ineffectiveness of "thoughts and prayers".
A must for reposting.
"What money can buy" is rarely, if ever, anything close to satisfaction. That's why for so many who already have so much, what they demand is MORE — as if their desire for MORE is an actual need rather than merely a symptom of their greed/avarice/gluttony … their addiction.
And having them pick up trash and spread mulch all day also confirms that the deployment of the National Guard in the face of [whatever] was absolutely necessary to maintain [whatever].
Trump and his allies have removed the webpage honoring Ira Hayes one of the Marines who raised the historic flag on Iwo Jima! Is this because he wasn’t a white man and was a Pima Native American Indian! They’re erasing our history day by day! 😡
But PP still manages to whine about something.
Was that a U-Haul that pulled up to The White House? Perhaps the Epstein Files have leaked and someone is preparing to leave town for … *sigh* So many pleasant scenarios and none true, unfortunately.
The American Dream was always just that: a dream.
OMG! How on earth do doctors deliver high-quality medical expertise to their patients under such obscene and ill-advised directives?!
That's the tactic used by rats and vermin of every kind.
So, if prayer is merely saying "I got a boo-boo in my — fix it" why bother to report it? Report that no action will be taken this time, just like last time and the times before … T and P has been abused as the "good enough" response for far too long.
Another reason to enroll a child in preschool in the USA: active shooter drills and toilet training are both prerequisites to elementary school.

My sincere wish would be that all the pro-Trump sycophants become devoid of mitochondria. Soon. If only ... *sigh*
They are free to "believe that prayer works", but unless they've been praying FOR such events to occur, the evidence would appear to indicate that their prayers are ineffective when compared to those of the gunmen, who appear to have prayed for some degree of success in their venture.
When it comes to communicable diseases, like Covid, everyone is at risk ultimately. The vaccine helps the infected to fight the infection but doesn't negate the total impact of the virus. A greater number of fully-vaccinated individuals would help reduce the odds of anyone contracting the disease.
Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.
So sweet!!!!!!
When Vance replaces Trump after the midterms, by means of Article whatever, will Vance appoint Miller VP?
What's this with "mitochondrial challenges"? Perhaps he's so very anti-mRNA that he assumes the "m" is for "mitochondria". That would be wrong of him. The "m" is for "messenger". Speaking of "challenges" … (I think that brainworm is a glutton.)
Why fight against the flavouring? Might as well go with ouzo or Sambuca or Anisette. Add a coffee bean for luck (yuck — I HATE liquorice!)
I have no doubt whatsoever!
An FBI investigation is underway in north Harris County after authorities say two self-professed religious leaders were using a ministry building for human trafficking, money laundering, and forced labor. abc13.com/post/religio...
That brain worm a-goin' "munch-munch". One hungry brainworm too!
It won't happen before the midterms. After the midterms, he'll have the balance of Trump's term PLUS a chance to be elected to two full 4-yr terms, for a grand total of 10 years.
What you have called the "50s Gen" is more officially referred to as the "Silent Generation" (mid 1920s-mid 1940s).The Baby Boomers followed them, 1946-64. Magats are not a generational group; they are collected across the generations. There are other forces in play which have created this grouping.
This is insulting and disgusting and shouldn't be reposted.
