Power Man 47 (1331)

Asked about the electoral boundaries decision, Smith talked about the importance of quality representation in rural Alberta, citing her own communities.

She described the "midsize" Medicine Hat and the "large community" of Brooks.

The Hat is over 3 times the size of Brooks.

This Wikipedia page is so damn long, because irresponsibly initiating "regime changes" with no real contingency plan is as American as apple pie. To anyone espousing the idea that Maduro needed to go (he was, admittedly, a ghoul), countless examples prove this is not the right way to do it.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Remarkable.

MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful."

Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd.

Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

Imagine you own a company and for many decades it turns a modest profit year after year. Then a new CEO comes in and in the space of six years loses $3B all while your competitors are raking in record profits. This is about Canada Post. #canadapoststrike

So what, explicitly, do you want to do to these troublemakers?

338Canada seat projection from Dec. 29, 2024: CPC 232, BQ 45, LPC 39, NDP 25, GPC 2

This seat projection was from four months ago

losing the national election and then your own seat is an incredible bit

Poilievre Mapped: His Inner Circle of Lobbyists and Right-wing Activists Koch Industries, Elon Musk’s X Corp., Loblaws, Enbridge, Pathways Alliance, the Canadian Gas Association, Rumble Canada, Rebel News, Canada Proud, and Facebook. These are just a handful of the corpora...

#PierrePoilievre & #CPC have their own version & ties to #Project2025

These monsters want to eat the entire world and they have more money than God to try and pull it off. #StopPoilievre #Elxn2025

#NationalPost is full throated shameless RW propaganda. But #PostMedia is now in overdrive on its propaganda & #CdnDisinfo. The dishonest bad faith reporting should require them to register as a foreign agent on behalf of #PierrePoilievre & #CPC. (They’re owned by 🇺🇸 hedge fund, Chatham Asset Mngmt)

Elbows up, Canada.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Oh, poor Pierre. He has been endorsed by every MAGA right-wing voice that supports Donald Trump. But what Donald Trump is realizing is that getting an endorsement from him is political death in Canada.

Pierre Poilievre is MAGA.

I don't know any headline is bad enough to break the fever, but Elon Musk's Ketamine Dealer Is Gutting the Department of Education might do the trick

Mind-boggling wreckage. Among the lifesaving programs now disrupted by Elon’s attack on @USAID: phase 1 trials for a possible HIV vaccine.

Thousands in Germany have taken the streets protest the rise of the Elon Musk and Kremlin supported neo-Nazi party AfD, ahead of the general election.

The North Remembers ❤️‍🩹

You will never succeed at fighting right wing disinfo with facts. Right wingers believe the first thing they hear & they'll believe it for life. They'll fight to the death about some inconsequential bullshit they just heard 5 seconds ago. You beat them by calling them weird assholes & isolating them

Wildfire climate connection Climate change, including increased heat, extended drought, and a thirsty atmosphere, has been a key driver in increasing the risk and extent of wildfires in the western United States during the last ...

ABC, NBC & CBS dedicated about 16 minutes of airtime last night to the California wildfires without once mentioning climate change.

Since the news failed do it's job, here's a short summary of the role of climate change and wildfire risk:

I am a climate scientist and this is correct ⬇️

This never has worked - not once. Once you concede the the far right's framing on immigration, you're dead, because you can never serve up as remedies as vile or extreme as they can, but you're also saying they have the right idea. And no one will vote for that dead dog in the middle of the road.

"Excerpt from an article published by The Intercept. The text discusses policies around allowing disparaging remarks about transgender individuals, including children. It mentions that the term 'tranny' is no longer considered a slur and provides examples of speech that should no longer be removed, such as statements using derogatory language against transgender individuals in various contexts."

Meta is fundamentally evil company that deserves to be wiped off the face of the planet.

He's...pathetic. He's cringe.

He's booable.

Trump has a thing that gets talked about a lot about how he's always the guy on the other side of the glass looking in, like a poor kid at Xmas at the toy shop

That's Elon. That's all these hollow people.

We've just been completely fooled by this complete nonsensical idea that conservatives will vote liberal if the liberals just act evil enough to court them. This has led to defeat after defeat for the neoliberal class. The centrists have no idea how to win in 21st century politics.

it genuinely sucks that basically nothing on the internet works well anymore. search? barely works. social media? filled with garbage engagement-bait designed to game the algorithm. news websites? pages that refresh at random or so covered in video ads that it’s impossible to read stories

I fucking hope!!

In the meantime, your uncle's (and, potentially, local politician's) daily injection of black-tar disinformation is about to be supercharged!!

But in its panicked retreat from the system it spent years building, Meta may now be putting billions of users at risk. Just because Meta deleted that line about hateful speech causing offline violence doesn't mean it isn't true. And now the company has all but declared open season on immigrants, transgender people and whatever other targets that Trump and his allies find useful in their fascist project. "I can't tell you how much harm comes from non-illegal but harmful content," a longtime former trust and safety employee at the company told me. The classifiers that the company is now switching off meaningfully reduced the spread of hate movements on Meta's platforms, they said. "This is not the climate change debate, or pro-life vs. pro-choice. This is degrading, horrible content that leads to violence and that has the intent to harm other people."

I talked to 10 current and former Meta employees about the company's surrender to the right on speech issues. All were upset. One person called the changes "a precursor to genocide" www.platformer.news/meta-fact-ch...

Bezos is paying the Trumps $40 million (not a typo) to make a documentary about Melania that no one asked for or wants, and is certain to obscure any interesting fact—like her initial immigration status, whether her marriage is a sham, all Trump’s affairs—a viewer might want.

Seems like... Bribery?

one of the most depressing realizations in politics is the day you understand that a lot of people would legitimately prefer to spend more money to make sure nobody “undeserving” gets a benefit than to make it accessible to everyone
