“This bill explicitly gives government the power to end legal strikes when a minister decides that a strike is or could become contrary to the national interest — and the national interest is defined solely by the opinion of the minister,” warns top labour leader Bea Bruske. Holy shit. This is bad.

The city could do the funniest thing ever by making those lanes no stopping the entire way. “What do you mean, store owner? You thought you would be getting parking back? Oh, no, no, no, these are for relieving congestion, it said so in the press release!”

Holy shit! So glad you’re ok. Hopefully nothing develops after the fact. Shamefully, this is not a rare occurrence in Autowa. Far too many drivers are completely oblivious.

Gee, and all this time I was told that coming to America with nothing and making a fortune was literally the American Dream.
A racist Truth Social post by Donald Trump saying that Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is being investigated by the Department of Justice, saying she “left Somalia with NOTHING, and is now reportedly worth more than 44 Million Dollars”.

The Trump regime wants to dismantle a world leading climate research center. Why? Because the US has become a petrostate where the government has been captured by fossil fuel interests. They’re calling climate science “green new scam research”, in full denial of reality. 🤯

Poilievre pulling a Trump & Musk & making clear he will cut funding to anything he considers “woke” in federal public service & university research - like anything to do with climate science. As Danielle Smith made clear, Poilievre is “in sync” with Trump. We can never let him win. #TeamCarney

After @lorak.bsky.social's scoop that a law firm repping Tesla drafted new legislation to change Delaware corporate law, Sen. @warren.senate.gov called it Elon Musk's “latest plan to rip off the American people to make himself and his fellow billionaires richer." www.cnbc.com/2025/02/18/f...

Tesla's law firm drafts Delaware bill that could salvage Musk pay package
The legislation would amend Delaware General Corporation Law and could pave the way for the reinstatement of Musk's 2018 CEO pay package at Tesla.

🚨 If you think this administration isn't attacking science & vaccines, think again. They’ve now scrubbed all ACIP slides. First, they erase the data. Then, manipulate it to fit their narrative—this time, undermining vaccine safety. We’ve seen this playbook before. #ScienceMatters #VaccinesSaveLives

IMPORTANT: If you live in the United States or Canada, you’ve probably heard Trump‘s constant claim that the United States is “subsidizing” Canada. It’s wrong of course, but here’s the best explanation I’ve seen about how & why it’s wrong. PLEASE WATCH & SHARE IT A LOT. Kudos to Andrew Chang & CBC.
