Some things one never forgets. That Christmas Eve 1995, homeless, I slept in my car. Snowing, windows frosted, Teeth clattering, my shivers warmed me. That Silent Night was a place outside of Time through Grace I came to accept & endure. I was blessed✨ It was transitory☀️.

Graham Platner on Iran: “This is a war that has been started because Donald Trump is in the Epstein Files and he doesn’t want us reading them. This war has been started because Benjamin Netanyahu has been begging for it for 30 years and finally found a president who is stupid enough to do it”

MacKenzie Scott divorced Jeff Bezos and got $36 billion in the divorce. She has donated $26 billion to charity since then. She’s now worth $42 billion, six billion MORE than when she started TAX THE BILLIONAIRES. THEY’LL BE FINE.

GUILTY VERDICT: In Oregon, rainwater falling on your own land doesn’t actually belong to you. Gary Harrington built 3 reservoirs on his 170-acre property to collect rainwater & snowmelt for fire protection. The state demanded he drain every drop. “All water belongs to us.” He refused. They hit him with 9 misdemeanors, jailed him for 30 days, and fined him more than $15,000. This is government claiming ownership of the sky.

May Day, International Worker's Day, is about recognizing the collective power of workers. The organizing power of workers is the reason why we have the protections and rights we do today - but we need to continue to advocate for equity, inclusion, and labour rights for all. Today, we stand in solidarity with workers everywhere who continue this fight, and are committed to defending workers and labour rights. #MayDay #VanPoli

Mental health is part of your health. It should be part of our publicly-funded healthcare system. What do we think is worth spending money on in this country? Why does this government seem to have billions available for major projects and for bullets and bombs but not for projects that benefit all of us?

Only problem with the Banksy sculpture is that they aren't blinded by patriotism. They are blinded by greed.

“Repeal DRIPA? Then Comes a Mess, Admits This BC Conservative” My latest in The Tyee, dissecting Iain Black’s plan (or lack thereof) to repeal DRIPA 👇 thetyee.ca/Analysis/2026/…

This is unconscionable @KenSimCity Do you not remember the 619 people who died during the heatwave of 2021? Public health interventions for our most vulnerable city residents save lives.

Sky's special correspondent @AlexCrawfordSky reports on the dozens of villages in southern Lebanon which have been virtually wiped out by Israel in a matter of weeks

Well done Banksy. Nationalism is blindly leading us all off a cliff.

Graham Platner: I want the Trump administration not to function, because everyone in the White House is being hauled under subpoena in front of a senate committee, day after day after day, Bringing people in for investigations that keeps them busy and that doesn't allow them to go start another stupid war.

FT Exclusive: The deal expands the Trump family's business empire, granting the US president's sons a stake in a company that insiders hope will help sever America's reliance on China for metals used in defence products. ft.trib.al/ya16jsS

⛔️FBI agents have to retire at 57 Air traffic controllers at 56 Pilots at 65‼️ ⛔️But somehow demented 70 and 80 year olds running the country is totally fine. Make it make sense.‼️

New York authorities have returned over $14 million worth of stolen antiquities to India after years of investigation. 657 artifacts in total have been returned to their rightful owners.

How is it possible that the Republican candidate for the last New York mayoralty race sounds like Bernie Sanders more radical drinking buddy? 🤣

@KenSimCity “Back to basics” shouldn’t mean cutting lifeguards, shuttering community offices, and cancelling climate programs while claiming progress. Rebranding neglect as “strategic investment” doesn’t fix crumbling infrastructure or support the people who rely on these services every day

@KenSimCity Sim and Lenny should have resigned months ago, and the rest will hopefully be voted out in 6 months. Throwing out this election year bribe for areas with strong support. And thinks no one will notice...or doesn't care.

The Smithsonian has replaced the exhibit on Trump's impeachment with one about how Trump's Uncle taught the Unabomber at M.I.T.

Trump didn’t recover from bankruptcy. He got rescued. — Early ’90s: drowning in $3.4B debt Casinos collapsing. Assets seized — At the same time: Russian capital floods into Western real estate — Trump properties allow anonymous, all-cash buyers — Buyers and partners tied to Russian organized crime — His model shifts: Stop building → Start selling the name Funded by foreign money. U.S. banks cut him off. Russian money didn’t. That’s not a coincidence. That’s leverage.

A man marching forward, blinded by a flag. It's Banksy’s new statue appeared overnight in London’s Waterloo Place.
