This is the very best event listing in the city. Jenna Hauck works at it throughout her day, every work day, constantly curating info that comes in from various places.

Congratulations, @mark-carney.bsky.social on becoming Prime Minister-designate.

With Trump threatening our sovereignty and economy, I look forward to working together on the infrastructure and investments we need to strengthen our economy and protect family supporting jobs.

It’s a privilege to run alongside people that you really respect. Thank you to Chrystia, Frank, and Karina for running such positive campaigns over these past 2 months.

Together, we showed Canadians that the future of our Party is ambitious – and that we are ready to win.

Today, on "Border Security Theatre" we learn that "after weeks of near-daily flights [at a cost of $5.3 million], the Royal Canadian Mounted Police's much-hyped Black Hawk helicopters have been used to stop one illegal border crossing FROM the UnitedStates INTO Canada." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
We logged every RCMP Black Hawk flight for 6 weeks. Here's what we found | CBC News
CBC's visual investigative team tracked 68 flights by the RCMP's Black Hawk helicopters that were aimed at cracking down on illegal migration.

According to @ubyssey.ca, RCMP officers showed up at the office of UBC's student newspaper and requested the contact information of their sources to identify protesters

(The newspaper refused, which is good because it is wildly inappropriate for police to do this)

Baldwin: "This bill sends a message that certain kids are not welcome in little league. That some kids are not welcome in their school at all. What a heartbreaking message to a child. No American should be demonized and picked on so that politicians can win elections."

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.

Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Wow I really jumped ok this bandwagon and fell off. But being away was worth it.
January 2025 was all about the gym, work, community theatre, and meeting the man of my dreams.

And if he makes me regret saying that, I’ll burn this account. 😂
