Pétrolières canadiennes | L’ex-ministre McKenna tire à boulets rouges sur les dirigeants Des « gras dur » proches de Donald Trump qui nous prennent pour « des imbéciles » et qui font des « profits faramineux » avec la guerre en plus de « nourrir la crise climatique », de mettre « l’économ...

Les pétrolières canadiennes « exigent que les contribuables canadiens paient la facture du nettoyage de la pollution qu’elles engendrent et de la construction d’oléoducs dans lesquels elles refusent d’investir leurs propres fonds ».

It Was on Your Table Every Morning Growing Up. It’s Dying Before Our Eyes. No One Wants to Face It. The powerhouse of American citrus is suffering a brutal decline. Everyone has a theory about why.

This is a nightmare: the destruction of Florida's orange industry. Tariffs, drought, deep freezes and a bacteria that is destroying the trees. They have lost 95% of production since 2003.
3/4s of growers are out of business. This is the dangerous eco-future staring us.

Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history.

Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes.

But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year.

Trickle down hoax.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is preparing banks to collect citizenship data Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says the Trump administration expects banks to comply in collecting citizenship information from customers.

Major alarm bells over this. Bessent wants US banks to require customers send in copies of their passports etc. to prove citizenship, which would be far beyond the know-your-customer checks that they're required to do already. Implies this could result in closing bank accounts over non-compliance.

Hey it's Friday and the Canadian oil industry made $1.5 billion in profits this week.

What's happening to healthcare in Alberta is potentially coming for all of us in Canada. Insurance companies will want this everywhere, and there doesn't seem to be much protecting Canada and its citizens at a federal level, @mark-carney.bsky.social. It's legitimately upending. #CdnPoli #CanPoli

I don't think it's ethical to build a majority government through floor crossings and I think democracy works better when we have minority governments with opposition MPs working together to best reflect the interests of Canadians who voted them in and scrutinizing legislation

‘Everyone is Replaceable’: Death Rattles Oregon Amazon Facility A worker died at Amazon’s Troutdale warehouse last week. Employees were told to look away.

A worker died at an Amazon warehouse in Oregon last week.

For more than an hour, workers were instructed to continue working as the man lay dead.

One worker wanted to help, but a manager told them to “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work," according to @thewesternedge.bsky.social.

Wow. What a remarkable woman. And she had to fight even harder as a woman of colour. Thank you for this post.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate:

1950: 50%
1990: 25%
2020: 13%

Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate.

That is how we will pay for it.

Breaking: Epstein survivors release statement slamming Melania for trying to absolve herself of involvement in Epstein’s crimes.

“Melania Trump is now shifting the burden onto survivors under politicized conditions that protect those with power.”

Zohran Mamdani and the NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection have announced a "Click to Cancel" rule.

The rule would make NYC the first city in the nation to ban subscription traps and force companies to make it just as easy to cancel subscriptions as it is to enroll.

It‘s so distasteful watching right-wing journalists salivate over more spending on weapons & growing the military. Even where it‘s necessary, it should be a matter of sadness & regret, not greeted with eagerness. You get the sense they prefer taxes spent on guns than benefits or education.

Market anomalies minutes before state decisions aren’t coincidences, they’re accountability tests. When billion-dollar bets align with undisclosed policy moves, the issue isn’t luck, it’s whether power is leaking into profit pipelines unchecked. Silence here normalizes systemic abuse.

"This pattern raises serious concerns that certain market participants may have had access to material nonpublic information regarding a market-moving geopolitical event..."

Speaking truth to power from a position of authority that extends beyond the US.

Trump officials are unpleasant assholes. Period. Doesn’t matter who they’re meeting with.

men can’t understand what it’s like for women to see story after story after story of women being victims of sexual violence in a culture where it’s routine; what it’s like to live in a world that is fundamentally hostile to our existence. it’s a wonder we leave the fucking house, let alone thrive.
