Dear @mark-carney.bsky.social, we want to bring the relationship with Canada to the highest level possible. I would like to work with you on opening the door for Canada to being the first associate member of the EU. And create a common prosperity and economic security space.

#ProudBlue #Voices4Victory Sen Patty Murray: Every single Senate Republican helped enable this horrifying reality. You don’t get to act surprised by SCOTUS overturning Roe v Wade. You voted to confirm Kavanaugh. You are going to own the suffering & pain you’ve inflicted on the women in the country.

Really poignant piece of street art from artist TopZ out of Seattle!
An ACAB street art piece. There are three pig heads in a row with text above and below them. They are depicted wearing green gaiter masks. The middle one has on an ICE baseball cap. The text reads "you can cover your faces. We can still tell you're pigs." Pigs is emphasized with red paint that is dripping down the wall to mimic blood.

From #Gaza, the cries of parents rise to heaven ever more intensely as they clutch the lifeless bodies of their children, searching for food and shelter from bombs. I renew my appeal to leaders: cease fire, release all hostages, and fully respect international humanitarian law!

Trump’s Oval Office studio is like a TV show where he tries to one up other world leaders. Nobody else does this, it’s obscene and also pathetic. Between Carney’s side eye and Ramaphosa’s “I’m sorry I can’t give you a plane” 🤣 I’m so proud of both of my countries.

In March 1994 I voted for Nelson Mandela. I believed it would be the most important vote of my lifetime. Now I live in Canada and today’s election feels as big, as consequential, as significant. Canada needs to get out and vote, this is NOT the time for apathy - it’s time to stand up. GO VOTE!

Who could possibly still believe that petulant, populist PP is the man for the moment? It’s depressing and disappointing that so many think that a man with zero gravitas and the attitude of a sulky teenager, would be a better bet than an actual economist with real-world and life experience. Aaagh!
