After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel

Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments. that fox news host still has his job.

Just so I'm clear: TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft. TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism. Free speech, everyone.

This week’s main story is about the budget and staffing cuts being made to public health agencies in the U.S. under RFK Jr.’s leadership, how those cuts will impact all of us, and some foolproof ideas for what scientists can do in the absence of totally superfluous stuff like, y’know, centrifuges.

Arrête Mark Carney ⚜️ @lalegault.bsky.social · 22/04/2025

Poilievre’s French costed platform talks about eliminated “woke ideology “ when it comes to affordable daycare, pharmacare, and dental care. Québec has had affordable daycare for nearly 30 years. This is absent in the English platform to con his supporters. #cdnpoli

Danielle Smith's government allegedly fired the AHS CEO and the Board after they started looking into the legality of contracts for private surgeries that could enrich companies with strong ties to the UCP government and staff. They did all of this with YOUR tax dollars.

Goddamn.

Three tweets from Clean Air Club an hour ago

Is now a good time to mention that last month over 25 Los Angeles schools rejected our offers of completely free air purifiers for every single classroom on their campuses?

There's a widespread hostility to anyone offering solutions at the intersection of climate change, pandemics, and resource depletion. It was wild to get replies along the lines of "don't contact us ever again" when we were literally offering tens of thousands in free gear

When you try to solve a problem that most people are in denial about, you're going to encounter hostility and gaslighting instead of enthusiasm and solidarity

Does anyone ever follow up on these stories? Our provincial govt ignored offers of federal money to address homelessness because of our election. Well the election is over, I assume our new Minister of Social Services (Jenson) is working day and night on this? saskatoon.ctvnews.ca/sask-ignores...
