Blaming meat packers for high beef prices is like blaming undertakers for thunderstorms. Droughts, floods, and shrinking herds drive the cost. With high rates and no plan to fix the climate, cattle can’t graze on hope, and no speech will make the grass grow again.
#climate
A social media post from Donald J. Trump’s verified account states that he has asked the Department of Justice to investigate meat packing companies for allegedly driving up beef prices through collusion, price fixing, and manipulation. He claims most are foreign owned, artificially inflate prices, harm American ranchers, and threaten national food security. The post calls for immediate action to protect consumers, combat monopolies, and ensure corporations aren’t profiting at Americans’ expense.

I support Canada’s vision for our future!
Infographic titled “Countries with the Best Reputations in 2025.” It compares 2024 and 2025 rankings of 60 nations by Reputation Lab. Switzerland ranks 1st both years. Canada rises to 2nd, the U.S. drops from 30th to 48th, Ukraine rises to 26th. China, Iran, and Russia remain lowest. Colors range green (best) to pink (worst).

Socialism only limits how poor people can be - not how rich.
A bright yellow poster styled like a playful Dr. Seuss rhyme. On the right, the Cat in the Hat stands smiling with his trademark tall red-and-white striped hat and red bow tie. The title reads “GUESS WHAT? YOU’RE A SOCIALIST!” in blue text. Below, the mock poem lists examples of public goods in rhyming verse: “Do you like your water clean? Do you like your forest green? Do you like the parks you’ve seen? Guess what? You’re a socialist!” It continues with verses about safe medicine, food, cars, schools, roads, firefighters, and police, each ending with “Guess what? You’re a socialist!” or “Guess what? We’re all socialists!!!” The overall message humorously argues that enjoying publicly funded services makes everyone a little bit socialist.

A Bluesky post by Paul van der Meer reads: “Should we be worried that Mark Zuckerberg built a multimillion dollar bunker in Hawaii? That Trmp is fortifying the White House bunker? And that several Trmp regime members moved onto military bases?” The post has 116 comments, 303 reposts, and 678 likes.

A humorous mock public notice features the Toronto Blue Jays logo and a message styled like an official announcement. The text reads: “Attention All Canadian Trick-or-Treaters. Please be advised that on Friday, October 31, 2025, at 8:00 PM EST, all Canadian porch lights will be turned off and Halloween will officially be over as the country prepares for Game 6 of the World Series. Thank you for your attention to this matter. GO JAYS GO!!!” At the bottom left are three carved jack-o-lanterns with mischievous expressions, and the post uses orange and black Halloween colors. The image humorously suggests Canada would collectively pause Halloween for baseball.

I knew this image reminded me of something…
Side-by-side aerial photographs of Ontario Place in Toronto. The left image shows the site lush with trees and greenery, surrounded by calm water, with the CN Tower and city skyline in the distance. The right image shows the same area after redevelopment clearing—trees gone, ground stripped to bare dirt and gravel, only concrete structures and domes remaining beside the lake under a cloudy sky.”

A partially eaten pumpkin sits on a garden stone ledge beside a tree and wooden fence. Its face has been unintentionally “carved” by squirrels, leaving large ragged holes where the eyes and mouth would be, giving it a wild, shocked expression. The caption explains that instead of carving a jack-o’-lantern, the creator filled holes in the pumpkin with peanut butter and let squirrels work on it for two days, resulting in this chaotic, hilarious masterpiece of accidental art.

Cali and Luna in full synchronized loaf formation. One’s a patchwork of sunset colors, the other’s a cloud dipped in ink. Together they form the ultimate yin-yang of feline nap perfection. My lap never stood a chance against this level of cozy.
Two cats are curled up together on a lap covered with a soft white blanket. The cat in front is mostly white with black spots, and the one behind is a calico with black, orange, and white fur. They’re nestled close and relaxed, forming a cozy, warm bundle of fur and purrs.

Luna-tic says, “Hi!”
A close-up photo of a white cat with black markings lounging on someone’s lap indoors. The cat has striking green eyes, a small black patch on its nose, and a larger black marking above one eye, giving it an expressive, slightly mischievous look. The background shows part of a gray sweater, a door, and a leafy green plant in soft lighting.

Watch what you say - I do believe the average drunkard is a war vet. Or the father of 3 kids who just lost his job.
It is very easy to blame the victim of capitalism they didn’t do life right.
We are all in this same storm - but we were not all born with yachts.
Profits are unpaid wages.

The Pope says, “I don’t know if that’s pro-life.” He does know. Followers of Christ must say it clearly: Anti-abortion ≠ pro-life. Pro-life means no cages, no death penalty, no cruelty. Woke = pro-life.
A block of text quoting the Pope: “Someone who says, ‘I’m against abortion,’ but is in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life. Someone who says, ‘I’m against abortion but I’m in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States,’ I don’t know if that’s pro-life.

Trump calls U.S. cities “training grounds” & jokes Canada should be the 51st state.

Poilievre echoes with his “weak/woke” military shtick.

This isn’t banter… it’s laying narrative tracks: weaken Canada’s confidence, militarize the U.S., then blur the border.
Donald Trump stands at a podium with the presidential seal, arms spread wide, speaking in front of a large American flag backdrop. Bold white text over the image reads: “IT’S A WAR FROM WITHIN.” Smaller text beneath says: “Trump prepares the generals for what comes next.” The image is branded with The Bulwark logo at the bottom.

Oregon’s suing to keep Trump’s Guard out of Portland. Yay!

But Imagine needing troops to “protect” buildings from graffiti while ignoring the people living in tents outside them. Authoritarian cosplay at its finest.

An underwater illustration shows a giant fish made up of thousands of small fish swimming together in formation, opening its mouth to confront a shark. Above the scene, bold white text on a black background reads: “The day people understand this image, everything will change.”

“Indian Rats” scrawled on a children’s park wall in Mississauga.

Hate doesn’t sneak in quietly it shouts from playgrounds.

Canada isn’t immune, and silence is complicity.

Stand up, speak out, shut hate down. #SocialJustice

Whiskers in the sun,
Knocked over my water cup—
Purrs like it’s my fault.
