He's genuinely bisexual and the part of his brain that remembered to be closeted has been eaten away by dementia

Call me crazy but I genuinely believe that we’re here on this extraordinary planet to be shepherds, not conquerors. We should be guardians of its forests, rivers, oceans and all the creatures that call it home. Our role is not to dominate the living world, strip it of everything it has to offer and leave destruction in our wake. To make sure that those who come after us inherit a world still rich with life and wonder. We were never meant to own this planet.

The fact that Trump doesn’t need to ask permission or even tell the American people that he’s going to drop a nuclear bomb makes America one of the most brutal fascist dictatorships in history.

There's no such thing as a "defensive strike" when you're illegally attacking another country.

If you don’t think the U.S. would drop a nuclear bomb on another country then you don’t know history or the barbarity of the U.S. war machine.
Tucker Carlson’s warning that Netanyahu is pressuring Trump to drop a nuclear bomb on Iran should absolutely be taken seriously. Trump himself has been hinting it for the past year. ⬇️

When pressed on her Gerrymandering... Smith blamed... Greg Clark? While it's true that Clark advocated for more seats, Smith seems to be taking his recommendations wildly out of context... @GregClarkAB? #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

But who’s counting
Musk invested $736 million in the second Trump administration and got back $16.3 billion, a return of 2,200 percent. trib.al/6vif7U8

Every video you see tonight of people on line waiting hours to vote is not an indication of high turnout as much as it is an indictment of the most sacred process of government corrupted by politicians who have closed or failed to open enough polling places.

I may be being somewhat picky but I suggest a man’s rape tally should be zero. For his entire lifetime.
Only 3 rapes in ten years... why did the woman not fight back ... they didn't go to the police immediately... why did they not act after metoo. Sounds like 1972!

The EU is using "sanctions" to punish EU citizens - including journalists - for so-called "disinformation", i.e. speech. This punishment is imposed by EU governments, without prior court oversight. There are no charges, trial or convictions. They do not have to prove guilt. The burden of proof is extremely light. The evidence is secret. The Council meetings where the decision is made are beyond closed doors. The punishments are for an indefinite period, extreme and life-changing, and include bans on travel and the freezing of all assets, including bank accounts. One of the people sanctioned in this way by the EU is a journalist who is being punished for documenting German police brutality against students engaging in protests at their universities in solidarity with the victims of the genocide in Gaza.
There is no democracy without press freedom. On International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists, and beyond, we stand by all those who speak truth to power.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Commission claims to stand by journalists who hold power accountable. Yet it refused a NYT journalist access to von der Leyen's Pfizer messages. In May 2025, the EU General Court annulled that refusal, citing inadequate explanations. Case T-36/23. eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/…

It's election eve, and what is Trump doing? He's back to bombing the Strait of Hormuz. The same Strait that Trump has repeatedly claimed was secure and open for business. Folks, this is utter madness. We are witnessing a raving lunatic in the throes of a complete psychological breakdown.

El-Sayed, asked to describe Mike Rogers in "fair-minded terms": "He made 14 million bucks and moved to Florida, bought a mansion and two yachts. And he's watching Donald Trump play that game and make billions, so he's like, 'I better get in while the getting's good.'"

The sad truth is that we all have to wait until Americans hit rock bottom and really suffer before they will ever consider dismantling their corrupt two party system...and I'm not sure it will ever happen because their status quo has a way of making life just bearable for most.

So many people have been wondering — WTF happened to Haley Stevens? In a word, Zionism. It has a deleterious effect on your brain because it forces to believe in so many contradictions and lies that it explodes your ability to think. Here’s how it does that:
How Zionism breaks your brain: 1) You have to live & breathe Israel but attack Israel obsession as antisemitism 2) You have to support equal rights for Jews, Muslims & Christians in your country but support more rights for Jews than non-Jews in Greater Israel. 3) You have to believe besieged & occupied people who attack soldiers are actually attacking terrorists while believing that besieging & occupying soldiers attacking civilians are actually attacking terrorists. 4) You have to believe condemning Israel is an attack on all Jews, but if you then blame Jews for Israel's actions, you are antisemitic. 5) You have to believe that ultra Orthodox Jews who condemn Zionism are antisemitic but white nationalists who hate minority groups, do nazi salutes & relish in antisemitic tropes -- but who love Israel -- are not antisemitic. 6) You have to believe that 0 videos, 0 photos, 0 forensic evidence & 0 credible eye witnesses is evidence of mass, premeditated rape as a weapon of war while believing that dozens of Palestinians who have testified to getting raped, plus video evidence, is not evidence of mass rape. 7) You have to believe that words that can be construed and obfuscated (e.g. a commercial, a @hasanthehun statement, a phrase 'from the river') are infinitely worse than 2,000 bombs being dropped on tents to murder malnourished Palestinian babies. As the old saying goes, sticks and stones may break your bones but names are always infinitely worse. 8) you have to believe that a 2,000 year "right of return" is infinitely more just than a 2 generation right of return. 9) You have to believe that Palestinians are inherent Jew haters even though Jews, Christians & Muslims were experiencing a golden age of religious harmony & co-existence in Palestine on the eve of Zionist immigration. palestinenexus.com/articles/…

Gerrymandering is a line in the snow for Alberta conservatives. Once you cross it, there's no turning back. My latest. jaredwesley.ca/newsletter
