Here is the ad Doug Ford spent $75 million airing a Reagan-themed “friends and allies” ad in the U.S.and it worked. Trump’s furious and just killed trade talks with Canada over this ad. Please keep this ad circulating! Thank you!

A grotesquely irresponsible & inflammatory statement on Charlie Kirk's murder, from Boris Johnson.
Johnson knows precisely nothing about the murderer & their motive. He's pouring petrol on the flames to ingratiate himself with the US far right, which is where the money is.

History lesson! The first person reported to have used the word “WOKE” was Huddie Ledbetter, the legendary Black blues artist known as Lead Belly.

The Secret History of “Wokeness”
In Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Humpty Dumpty scornfully declares that, “When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean.”

One of 60s music trailblazers, RIP.
Sly Stone, whose band Sly and the Family Stone electrified Woodstock audiences and introduced a genre-fusing brand of psychedelic funk with hits such as “Family Affair” and “Everyday People,” died June 9 at his home in California. He was 82.
Sly Stone, dazzling funk maestro with the Family Stone, dies at 82
He electrified Woodstock crowds with his brand of psychedelic funk but fell into a fog of drug abuse at the height of his musical powers.

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government.
But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes.
Where is the outrage over that?

Fun fact I love to share: Sally Hemings’ mother, enslaved by Jefferson’s father in law, attended Jefferson as he wrote the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia.
While we’re on founding fathers, I think people actually *underrate* the Gothic horror of Jefferson and Sally Hemings. She was his slave, she was also his dead wife’s much younger half sister as a result of Jefferson’s father in law raping *his* slave.

The Trump administration released a report last week that it billed as a “clear, evidence-based foundation” for action on a range of children’s health issues. But the report, from the Make America Healthy Again Commission, cited studies that did not exist. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/29/w...

WATCH: “There were ICE raids at the bars in downtown Nashville.”
Singer @montemader.bsky.social says ICE agents were raiding bars on Broadway unlawfully — going after cooks, NOT criminals — and offers a plausible theory for why they wear masks.
