A few years ago, I said greedy egg producers like Cal-Maine were using their market power to deliberately drive up egg prices. My right-wing critics fried me for saying this — but now they all have egg on their face.

Ai fought the law and Musk won. Based on a recent appeal court ruling evidently it is constitutionally protected speech for some weirdo to turn your vacation pictures into softcore porn. Yay America!🤯😢🤬

Sometimes it’s hard to tell if, as descendants of Irish settlers, I should bring my creative voice to the Truth and Reconciliation conversation. I wrote this song last year after crafting a personalized land acknowledgement. I hope this makes sense: music.apple.com/ca/album/sev...

The Trump Organization filed for trademark protection of "Trump TV" so that the government would have to PAY him to use the channel he just created… Miraculously, Trump has found yet another way to steal even more money from the American people. Trump. Is. A. Charlatan. And. A. Fraud. 😎✨

In 2027 Seattle's minimum wage will be $22.14 per hour. That's more than THREE TIMES the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour—a rate that hasn't been raised since 2009. And yet somehow we're not the jobless wasteland orthodox economics would predict. Weird.

POTUS shits his pants, falls asleep at the resolute desk, raped at least woman (convicted), walked through dressing rooms of teenage beauty pageants, bankrupted many of his business ventures… and that’s not even getting into the really horrible accusations. Still gets over 30% in polls. Fucked!

I’m reading so many hopeful articles they portend a blue wave in November. What will Dems do when they lose a seat that was clearly swinging blue? I hope there are fewer concessions than in the past. It is no longer time for the high road. Fight them any way you can because they will cheat and lie.

Reposting my message below as it’s relevent to upcoming municipal elections, the BC Provincial Election, the Alberta Separatism Referendum, and a lot more voting chances coming up. We often vote for “change,” and it’s often badly needed, but never forget that a “change option” CAN BE EVEN WORSE.

Susan Collins was at the center of a major bribery probe for steering millions in contracts to a company whose CEO illegally funneled thousands to her campaign. Then Trump took office and gutted the FBI and DOJ units investigating her. Is this what "being moderate" looks like?

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $8 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of American households is worth just $4.27 trillion. Read that back. Remember: Wealth can’t be separated from power. Power begets wealth and wealth begets power.
