Dems keep wondering how to energize young voters. Kat’s over here like, “Stop ignoring us, start including us, and bring snacks.”

Kat has no health insurance, nocorporate sponsors, and no patience for bullshit. Congress hasn't been more terrified of a woman since AOC.

Read about her launch party:

so, see how bernie is passing the torch to the younger generation? see how he's creating space for AOC by using his name, then allowing her to lead? see how SOME older people act like caring elders, and others act like half-dead, out-of-touch narcissistic control freaks?

be more like bernie.

"The White House has directed the military to draw up options for increasing the US troop presence in Panama to achieve Trump’s goal of 'reclaiming' the Panama Canal"

National parks had a record number of visits last year. Now, an internal memo is directing the National Park Service not to publicize visitors numbers amid the Trump administration’s mass firings of rangers and other employees.

Shameful.

“Today, the United States 🇺🇸 launched a trade war against Canada 🇨🇦, their closest partner & ally - their closest friend…

At the same time, they’re talking about working positively with Russia 🇷🇺, appeasing Vladimir Putin, a lying, murderous dictator.

Make that make sense.”

Today I’m replacing twitter with Bluesky. Twitter isn’t what it was, but crucially the owner is part of a government that is waging economic war against Canada. I think Halifax should ditch twitter too (thanks @lecwhite.bsky.social for starting that process). O’Canada.
