✨Happy International Women's Day! ✨

Raise your daughters to be strong women who will fight and vote for their own best interests.

If this has been done for my generation, there would be no tRump.

Legal counsel has also been denied access.
A Marine veteran.
A firefighter.
A father of four.
And his family still cannot see him.

General Jenny Carignan: "We are not talking about participating to Epic Fury per se. This is not a mission that we are considering. However, our Gulf partners may require defense and support. So within that context, these would be the type of military options that we could consider."

[WARNING: This is a bit graphic.]

A Marine Corps veteran protesting Trump’s War on Iran had his arm broken by Capitol Police and GOP Senator Tim Sheehy. It appears to be a compound fracture.

I tell people that if the government is covering up the existence of aliens, NASA is absolutely not involved, because astrobiologists can't keep a secret to save their lives

Everything goes in cycles in American politics, and when this MAGA cycle ends soon we must not forget the CEOs, law firms, and media elites who bent the knee to Trump and sold out America for money, power, and access.

Mandi Jung, a MN teacher, needs to be heard far and wide. Her message about the treatment of the immigrants living in MN is so powerful. Take a moment to listen to her. We need to bring this energy everywhere.

CUSMA review ‘is not a renegotiation,’ Canada-U.S. trade minister says ahead of trip to D.C. Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc says he sees a path to renew the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement and anticipates more specifics from the U.S. administration soon.

1/On CUSMA: don’t listen to “a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing”

Instead listen to Minister Leblanc: “It expires in 2036 [and] the review is not a renegotiation…If there’s no consensus in the review, the agreement continues on.”

Could not be more proud of you, Team Canada.
 
You’re coming home with 21 hard-fought Olympic medals. Though what Canadians will remember most is how you wore the Maple Leaf: with pride, with grit, and with determination.

Dayum. Just heard a minister say, as perhaps only Black ministers can, “We will fight until hell freezes over, and then we will fight on the ice.”
I’m stealing that!!
