Just so you can visualize who’s being pressured to surrender, give up territory, dignity, and let the US get 50% monetization profits

Going on for years in Canada, despite being thoroughly discredited.
Big Oil is using native advertising to "disguise their ads in news outlets" and promote "controversial technologies like carbon capture as climate solutions, portray fossil fuel companies as climate-friendly, or misrepresent their role in the energy transition" finds author @commscholar.bsky.social.
These ads are poisoning trust in media
‘Native advertising' allows fossil fuel companies to disguise their ads in news outlets. A new book argues the practice undermines journalistic credibility.

We need the people to en Massey demand an end to first past the post, which weakens the democracy in Britain, Canada, and the US.
Polls suggest that Nigel Farage is heading for 10 Downing Street on a vote share of just 30%. It beggars belief that Labour is still committed to an outdated, undemocratic voting system that would see the hard right stroll into government on a minority of the vote.

Rewarding a dictator-aggressor always leads to another war. One that is usually even worse.

Every time lying Pete Hoekstra opens his mouth, he drives Canada further and further away from the United States.
Is that the plan?

Are we sure it was a mistake? Trump's people continue to threaten other countries.

(Canada, Venezuela, Mexico, Greenland/Denmark,...)
😂wow.
DOD contractors “mistakenly” landed on a Mexican beach, declared it US property and planted “restricted area” DOD signs, triggering a tense confrontation with armed Mexican forces.

Mexico removed the signs, insisting the area is theirs.

Yet another example of total incompetence.

With the destruction of homes in #Gaza and limited shelter, many are forced to live in makeshift tents in playgrounds or UNRWA schools-turned-shelters.

It's very upsetting to read this headline, although not altogether surprising, based on recent events. We are now one step closer to losing one of the coolest things to have come to Ottawa in many years. And it didh't have to be this way. 1/ www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Mark my words, teaching will be next.

The regime is targeting loans for traditionally female occupations.
I realized it was only a matter of time for other professions once I heard the professional, moral, intellectual & ethical requirements to be POTUS were completely eliminated. 🤷🏻‍♀️

AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social : A swastika is one of the clearest symbols of hatred in all of humanity… to remove that designation… indicates a possible collaboration with those very elements, which I think is genuinely frightening to any American.
