Canadian MP Charlie Angus responded to President-elect Donald Trump's proposal to make Canada the 51st U.S. state by noting that existing Canadian laws prevent "sexual abusers" from leading his nation.

I need a data set so don't make me send my AI minions to scrape it from you.

IOW Please take my poll, respond directly so I can see your instance, and then boost boost boost!

This is potentially a not so funny issue.

Can you see my animated avatar right now?

It's concerning that some are trying to normalize and find "common ground" with RFK. Let's be clear: You can never find common ground with someone responsible for the death of children because they deliberately spread anti-science misinformation.

In London (KY), police went to a home to execute a search warrant and shot the homeowner when he was exercising his 2nd Amendment rights. Police there had suspended the use of body cameras, so we can only assume that they killed him in cold blood. Jim Crow is alive and well there. Don't live or work there. Also, I'll bet the NRA won't lift a finger to defend Doug Harless, because for them, gun rights is a tool to uphold white supremacy. https://www.wymt.com/2025/01/04/justice-march-held-laurel-co-man-killed-police-shooting/ #Kentucky #PoliceBrutality

I've been learning about the Holocaust since I was six. My Aleph Hebrew School teacher was a Survivor. And it either didn't hit me, or I didn't know until I was helping make this that of all the countries the Nazis conquered, only Denmark as a country actively tried to protect its Jewish population.

Fox News was forced to fact-check convicted felon Donald Trump's baseless claim that the New Orleans terror attack was caused by "criminals coming in" from other countries. The suspect, a 42-year-old Texas-born military veteran, was identified hours earlier, exposing Trump's fear-mongering rhetoric as factually wrong and politically opportunistic. Even Fox couldn’t spin this disaster.

That's what I'm thinking, and now we have an omen to confirm it. (I'm afraid this is real, and I hope no one was hurt. It's just so unbelievable that a Cybertruck blew up at the entrance of a Trump hotel. Couldn't have made up better accidental symbolism.)

@ProPublica I repeat, once again, "Religion is the root of all evil."

#Arizona Regulators Closed a Failing Charter #School. It Reopened as a Private Religious School Funded by Taxpayers.

Arizona’s acclaimed voucher program provides zero transparency into private schools’ history, #academic performance or financial sustainability to help parents make informed school choices.

If your foot falls asleep and stays asleep, is it coma toes?

I am not religious, at all, but I was always in awe of Carter, especially after he left office.

A shining example of walking the walk. One of the mani reasons I eschew religion is the way most people do not walk the walk.

It's a HUGE problem for me especially now when so many on the right profess to be faithful, yet what they DO everyday has NOTHING to do with the teachings of the bible.

And when you ask them how they justify...they flat refuse to answer.

Over six decades, Jill and I had the honor of calling Jimmy Carter a dear friend.

But, what’s extraordinary about Jimmy Carter, though, is that millions of people throughout America and the world who never met him thought of him as a dear friend as well.

I'm glad that President Carter lived long enough to vote for VP Harris, per his wish, but died before what is coming on January 20. RIP to the most decent and moral person to ever hold the Presidency. As a fellow resident of the Great State of Georgia, I salute a true American hero.🇺🇸

Honor that man's legacy by throwing a few dollars towards an organization where he donated thousands of hours (and calories) of his time.

Habitat For Humanity is not one of my normal monthly donations, but maybe it will be in 2025, starting now...
