Is it not long past time to let some talented women run some things ?! Guys have F@#ed things up long enough . Couldn't hurt! A little more kindness, laughter and cooperation would go a long way .

So, if I understand correctly, the delegates who gave Poilievre an 87% approval to stay as PC leader, were screened and preapproved to attend! How democratic.

I try to stay mostly apolitical on this account, and really this isn't a political statement as much as a reflection of what reviewers are saying. In any event, it made me actually laugh out loud. (@deadder.bsky.social is la crème de la crème of editorial cartoonists, IMHO.)

Nicki Minaj next to Trump on stage at an event in DC where she spoke and said "I am probably the presidents #1 fan." Her face looks (to me) like she's barely holding back her disgust and dread.

Trump just accused Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of staging the recent attack on her. He sure must know about staging attacks. Except in his case an innocent person lost his life and conveniently the shooter was killed.

First, isn't it illegal to fire somebody on maternity leave? Second, the fact that she was denied EI is another example that being a woman puts you in a second class in the workforce.

We apply general standards on real life exceptions that should be accounted for.

Is the CEO of Hootsuite believable or just naive?

The previous CEO cancelled an ICE contract in 2020 because of strong staff reaction at that time.

What changed (besides the CEO) in 2026?

President Trump made an obscene gesture with his middle finger and mouthed “f--- you” twice to a person who can be heard yelling “pedophile protector” at him during a tour of a Ford factory in Michigan — a reaction the White House said was “appropriate.”

So in spring, Pam Bondi said there was nothing to the Epstein investigation, then “closed” it. Now, they “find” 1 million more docs.

So did she close this without seeing these docs? Or was someone hiding them?
