Congrats to @elonmusk becoming the next first lady.

Stay critically minded. Stay open-hearted. Stay principled. Stay tolerant. Stay resilient. Stay engaged. Stay dynamic. Stay informed. Stay fierce. Stay brave, stay strong, stay loving. Darkness takes many forms, but so does light - and the world needs your shine more than ever ♥️

Cycle Toronto deputed at Executive Committee yesterday urging the city to resist Bill 212 and to make it clear that there isn't a metre or kilometre of bike lane we'll accept being removed.

This video is incredible.

Everyone should RETWEET it so the whole *world* sees it.

A century ago, Germany’s democracy was hijacked by a bombastic and charismatic tyrant — and in this five-minute video, you’ll learn how he did it. Why did I produce this? Because I believe that history is speaking to us, and all too often, those who refuse to learn from it are doomed to repeat it.

As you watch, imagine filling out a Bingo card filled with Germany 1933/USA 2024 parallels: big rallies, rage-filled and hateful rhetoric, simple answers promising quick and easy solutions to complicated problems, empty promises of a great-again future, scapegoating outsiders, and political enemies silenced on day one. And notice the caring wisdom and concern from my German friends as they share these lessons from their dark history.

It’s hard to understand how Trump could, on the eve of a tight election, paint a picture of Liz Cheney before a firing squad by actually saying, “Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK? And let’s see how she feels about it when the guns are trained on her face.” You can’t get into the mind of a dictator with an insatiable appetite for power — but you can recognize the playbook they all seem to follow.

Just watch this clip. It’s excerpted from my hourlong public television special “The Story of Fascism in Europe,” which is streaming free (and ad-free) at https://t.co/YA10kVH0V8. If you care about our democracy and love our country, it’s hard to stop watching.

When I produced this in 2018, I hoped this day would never come in our country. But November 5th is upon us. Please share this with anyone in your life who might need a reminder that the stakes are high...and this is very real.

What she said.

Mayor Olivia Chow to Premier Doug Ford on bike lanes:

“Stay in your lane, open the Eglinton Crosstown and Finch West LRTs and fix the chaos at Metrolinx.”

Latest book by my friend and colleague @DonaldNijboer, ‘Graphic War Navy’ is publishing soon. It's a sumptous guide to illustrations and diagrams explaining and instructing WWII naval personnel, many of them young conscripts, in the use and care of their weapons and equipment…

Hey @CBCToronto where are your reporters? I don’t see them on the evening news. Who came up with this dipshit idea.

[AltYellowstoneNatPar @AltYelloNatPark]

The censorship algorithm has reduced our audience by roughly 95%, and seriously, who does that to a wildlife advocacy group ?

You can help by retweeting, liking and following. If we're going to preserve what few wild places remain, we need you to get involved.

Overlooked ladies finally getting some love.

Fellow Ontario tax payers - please like and retweet if you would rather $3.2 Billion be invested in public services, like education, healthcare, ODSP, support for autism families, than be dolled out in one-time $200 pre-election bribes by Doug Ford. #onpoli #onted #cdpoli

[Kristyn Wong-Tam 🇨🇦 @kristynwongtam]

Health professionals, civic leaders and I hosted a press conference to call on Ford to reverse his decision to close 10 Consumption & Treatment Services across the province. 8 people in Ontario are dying a day - 1 Ontarian every 3 hours - due to the overdose crisis. We must lead with compassion & evidence, not stigma & punishment. #ONpoli

[Donald Nijboer @DonaldNijboer]

Hey #JordanPeterson time to grow a pair. Oh, wait…never mind.

[Victoria Ward 💙 @hotspurstudio]

Hey #JordanPeterson why sue Trudeau? Sac up and get in the ring with him.

[Donald Nijboer @DonaldNijboer]

Hey @PrabSarkaria finish the crosstown LRT before starting a new highway.

[Stormy Daniels @StormyDaniels]

Wow! Not that anyone will see this but I have gotten so many posts today about people not seeing my posts/ads for my Indy shows following @maddow story about tiny's new attempts to silence me! If you want to help, repost info about my shows so people can get Tix! Do it with and without my last name so we can prove the shadow ban
