@nespressousa.bsky.social wtf folks, is this really what you were going with? Like I get you're proud of your ability to make foam but this is ridiculous.

And tweets about the event that resulted in his (attempted) firing.

Wyatt Claypool explaining what happened between Othman and Brodie.

Wyatt Claypool citing to Thielmann all the times Othman said neo-nazi shit in front of him.

The tweet that created this spat was about the NDP being "anti-civilizational" and that they want it run on "drum circles and powwows".

Trump is 79, he appears to have bruising from being on IVs, he has edema, and he has recently had what appears to be a stroke.

Karen Attiah said that America worships violence.

For everyone saying political violence has no place in this county...

Remember two Democratic legislators were shot in Minnesota just this year.

And America shrugged and moved on.

Political violence has no place in this country...

But we will also do nothing to burb the availability of the guns used to carry out said violence.

The denial and empty rhetoric is learned helplessness - because the truth is..

America is sick and there is no cure in sight.

Because America, especially white America, is not going to do what it needs to do to get rid of the guns in their country. It will be thoughts and prayers, "violence has no place" out of a performance of goodness, not out of the resolve to convince their communities to disarm.

Matthew Dodd said that hate begets hate.

“Hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions,” Dowd said, adding: “You can’t stop with these sort of awful thoughts you have and then saying these awful words and then not expect awful actions to take place.”

Dowd also speculated about the circumstances of the shooting, saying: “We don’t know if this was a supporter shooting their gun off in celebration. So we have no idea about this.”

Kimmel said that the shooter is not who MAGA is trying to characterize him as.

"We hit some new lows over the weekend, with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and with everything they can, to score political points from it," Kimmel said.

"In between the finger-pointing, there was, uh, grieving. On Friday, the White House flew the flags at half-staff, which got some criticism, but on a human level you can see how hard the president is taking this," Kimmel said, before cutting to a clip where Trump responded to reporters asking how he was doing by pointing to construction going on at the White House.

"This is how a four-year-old mourns a goldfish," he said.

Why is JD Vance, a silicon valley technocrat popular with old conservative money, a VP who has largely stayed out of the limelight, suddenly EVERYWHERE in the news? Because shit is going down. Buckle up, this is going to be long.

JD Vance looking like the ghoul he is. Can you believe this guy is only 41?

Kent Clark @comicbooksuperhero.ca · 28/04/2025

So groups like Canada Proud/Mobilize Media Group (a private arm of the Canadian Conservative Party) create astroturf orgs like "Canadian Crime Watch" and use them to do political advertising. Then, just before the official election dates they suspend their campaigns so they don't have to register.

In the weeks leading up to the writ drop, Canada Proud spent over $274,000 on Facebook and Instagram ads attacking Mark Carney, but stopped advertising once the election was called and strict rules around third-party advertising kicked in.

Kent Clark @comicbooksuperhero.ca · 28/04/2025

Hiding in this story is one of the most WTF statements I've read in a long time. We live in an era where we are bombarded with more political advertising than ever, and yet registered third party advertisers have dropped from 154 to 99. This is a big deal. theijf.org/right-wing-i...

In the 2019 federal election, 154 third parties registered with Elections Canada. There are only 99 third parties registered for the 2025 election so far, and less than half have submitted interim financial returns which disclose where their funding comes from and how it is being spent.

This isn't the first time we've seen these links either. Ending in 2023 the Mayors Office was spending $8k/month on Wellington Advocacy, the political consulting company that shares an office and staff with Stephen Harper's Harper and Associates.

So why is Sim sending staffers to this group? Well, looking up that staffer, it looks like a few months after they went off to this conference they took a new job - as a Policy Advisor to The Office of the Leader of the Official Opposition. A big step up from Research and Communications Coordinator

... Nova Scotia Proud and Quebec Fier. As such it should be no surprise that this organization partners with groups like The Modern Miracle Network, a front for the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, which has funded many of the small far-right groups across Canada, including Canada Proud.

Ken Sim and ABC have some strange connections to federal right-wing groups and with the release of the 2024 Mayors Expenses, there are even more. Hidden in the mayors office Discretionary Travel and Training Expenses is airfare for L. Yao to attend a Canada Strong and Free Network event in Calgary.

Screenshot from the Mayors Office Budget and Expenses Detailed and Summary report showing:

$859.16 - Canada Strong and Free Network, Calgary AB, Sep 20-22/24 (airfair, L.Yao)

Gunn is a Canadian trying incredibly hard to be a MAGA American. He was part of BC Proud, which brought MAGA style politicking to BC. He can not be allowed into government.

- records showing the VPD pulled his license plate multiple times - Allam being fired for saying that, if it were true, he wouldn't stand behind the mayor on it - and Katie Lewis having 17 people confirm it OTR

Katie Lewis writes:

I just want people to know that I am still doggedly (yes, cliche) workong on this story. I hate corruption. I think there is a lot of it in #vancouver. I think we need to call it out. #vanpoli #bcpoli

I know there are a bunch of other very good reporters trying to do the same. This is a very hard story.

If you can't get anyone to go on the record, you technically have no story, even if you confirm it with 17 OTR sources.

Plus, knowing someone will likelyt sue you.

And I will say, I've covered hundreds of stories, likely thousands at this point. This is a biggie, probably one of the biggest stories ever. 17 people told me it[...]
