Q: “Do the sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir?”

TRUMP: “You’re a fresh person. A horrible little reporter.”

Trump lashes out at another female reporter @albamonica as she asks about Trump’s support for Vivek’s disgusting attack ad using @amyactonoh’s mother.

So weird how Epstein’s bestie wouldn’t care about abuse.😕

@blueskypinit This looks like a planned stupid scene. It is not real. Stop this kind of garbage …there is enough real idiots without you planning this pathetic clip.

[Farm Girl Carrie™️👩‍🌾 @FarmGirlCarrie]

In 1962, while filming The Great Escape,
a quiet, tough-looking actor, met the wife of one of his co-stars. According to Hollywood legend, he told her husband, half joking and half serious, that one day he would marry her.

Whether he truly said it, no one knows for sure. But six years later, he did marry her. Their marriage lasted 22 years, through a growing family, a long illness, and a goodbye he could not prevent. His name was Charles Bronson. Her name was Jill Ireland.

He was born Charles Buchinsky in 1921, in a Pennsylvania coal-mining town.

He was one of fifteen children in a poor Lithuanian immigrant family. Money was so scarce that he later said he once had to wear his sister's dress to school.

As a boy, he went to work in the coal mines.

In World War II, he served as an aerial gunner on bombers in the Pacific.

Hollywood later made him a star, playing hard, silent men of few words.

Jill Ireland was an English actress, warm, lively, and outgoing. When they met, she was married to actor David McCallum.

In time, her first marriage ended.

In 1968, Charles and Jill married.

They were opposites. He was guarded and quiet. She was open and expressive.

They made a decision most Hollywood couples would not make.

They would build a big, real family, away from the spotlight.

They brought together children from their earlier marriages, had a daughter of their own, and adopted another. At home, the tough guy from the movies was a devoted husband and father.

They acted together in many films.

Then, in 1984, Jill was diagnosed with breast cancer.

Charles, who had survived poverty, the mines, and war, could not fight this for her.

All he could do was stay.

And he did. Through surgeries, treatments, and years of uncertainty.

Jill faced her illness bravely and publicly. She wrote about her experience and spoke out to encourage other women.

The family faced another terrible blow in 1989, when her son Jason died.

On May 18, 1990, Jill Ireland died at their home. She was 54.

Charles was devastated.

He later remarried, but Jill always remained part of his story. Charles Bronson died in 2003, at 81.

The man the world remembers was Hollywood's toughest hero.

The real story is a coal miner's son who couldn't defeat his wife's illness, so he did the bravest thing left, and stayed beside her until the end ♥️♥️

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

I need to clarify something:

A lot of MAGA Republicans in Congress and the right wing media are running around, bitching that "When Democrats win, they're going to be investigating everyone, and making trump's life a living hell."

That's correct, but not for the reasons YOU think.
trump has been doing it out of SPITE.

But it's actually the JOB of Congress.
It's called OVERSIGHT.

And if Republicans in Congress hadn't gotten so comfy allowing trump to fulfill any and all corrupt and vindictive urges and desires, Democrats wouldn't have to.

But it's actually the job of Congress to provide a CHECK AND BALANCE. Not to coddle him, run interference for him, to condone him... it's to provide oversight.

This Republican Congress is THE MOST shameful in recent memory. You've acted like wingmen, providing zero resistance to his tariffs and his Iran war, which have cost Americans dearly at the pump, the grocery store, and everywhere else.

It's no WONDER that corruption is listed as the NUMBER ONE concern of American voters, possibly for the first time ever, or in a very long time.

He is supposed to be consulting Congress on all these things; instead, you let baby fingers run roughshod all over you.

Everything from his corrupt crypto deals, his setting up his sons with $6 billion in Pentagon deals, the many no-bid contracts he's awarded, selling access to his Truth Social for $100,000 per month.

It is INSANE that Republicans in Congress have looked the other way on ALL of those things, as if they're not happening, or they are OK. It's NOT OK, none of it.

Washington DC was already corrupt, we know this. But Republicans have helped NORMALIZE those swampy conditions that trump amplified a hundred fold.

So MAGA Republicans:
Accountability is coming to DC on November 3rd.
Get your complicit asses out of the way.

Bill Clinton on Canadian PM Mark Carney:

"I'm tired of treating our allies like they're dirt."

"The prime minister of Canada has been a friend of mine for a long time. We got to know each other having virtually nothing to do with politics."

"He's about the most well-qualified leader in the world. He's been head of the banks of both the UK and Canada. And we have the gall to suggest that they should become the 51st state."

[Janice Catherine Halligan @probative]

Thank you President Clinton!

This week I’ve seen men ridicule women for dressing “too provocatively” and other men ridicule Muslim women for dressing “too conservatively,” and its a reminder that maybe men should shut the hell up, stop worrying about how women dress, and instead expend their energy on getting men to stop raping and abusing women. This is not a high bar.

[Canada Hates Trump @AntiTrumpCanada]

Trump: “Russia, frankly, has treated Ukraine pretty well. They haven’t really done much.”

WHAT. A. MONSTROUS. FUCKING. CUNT.

[Janice Catherine Halligan @probative]

So when TF is someone in DOJ going to do something about this? *Are* they going to do nothing bc they're complicit or does their inaction prove their complicity?

Calling it the Department of Justice seems wrong.

[MAGA Fox @MAGAFoxwr5]

MASSIVE BOMBSHELL: DAN GOLDMAN UNLEASHES TRUTH!
Congressman Goldman just went live with FBI 302 receipts. Evidence shows Trump unzipped his pants, forced a 13-year-old’s head down, and when she bit his p*nis in self-defense, he punched her and called her a "B."

The FBI interviewed her FOUR times while the case was buried. Pam Bondi lied to Congress, claiming “no evidence” of these crimes while sitting on files describing this exact assault. This is perjury and a cover-up for a predator.

You don’t get to "save the kids" while your AG hides files of a child being beaten for fighting back. History will remember the enablers.

We stand with the children who bit back.

[Janice Catherine Halligan @probative]

FOR CANADIAN EYES ONLY. 🍁

DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT READING THIS IF YOU’RE NOT CANADIAN.

A LOVE LETTER TO CANADA.

Dear Canada,

Sometimes, in all the noise, the arguments and the headlines, we forget just how extraordinary you are.

So today, this one’s for you.

You’re the country that gave the world hockey, basketball, insulin, IMAX and the Canadarm.

You’re Alexander Graham Bell experimenting with the telephone in Brantford. Frederick Banting and his colleagues helping bring insulin treatment to the world. Geoffrey Hinton and Yoshua Bengio helping lay the foundations of modern artificial intelligence.

You’re Donna Strickland revolutionizing laser technology and James Gosling creating Java.

You’re Wayne Gretzky, Bobby Orr, Gordie Howe and Sidney Crosby.

You’re Summer McIntosh making us leap off the couch and cheer.

And you’re Terry Fox, running down a lonely Canadian highway on one leg, showing the world that courage isn’t measured by how far you get, but by how far you’re willing to go.

You’re Gordon Lightfoot singing about the Edmund Fitzgerald and the Canadian Railroad Trilogy.

You’re Stompin’ Tom Connors, stomping his boot through The Hockey Song and singing about places most of the world had never heard of.

You’re The Tragically Hip, turning small towns, hockey heroes and Canadian history into the soundtrack of a generation.

You’re Leonard Cohen, Oscar Peterson, Céline Dion, Anne Murray and Neil Young.

You’re John Candy, Eugene Levy, Catherine O’Hara, Martin Short, Mike Myers and Jim Carrey, making the world laugh.

You’re Lorne Michaels creating Saturday Night Live and James Cameron taking audiences to worlds they’d never imagined.

You’re Lucy Maud Montgomery and Anne Shirley, that wonderfully imaginative red-haired girl who made a little farmhouse on Prince Edward Island famous around the world.

You’re the Group of Seven, who looked at crooked pines, rocky shorelines and windswept forests and showed us just how beautiful our country really is.

You’re Viola Desmond refusing to accept segregation.

Willie O’Ree breaking hockey’s colour barrier.

And generations of Canadians who stood up against injustice, opened doors and helped make this country better.

You’re the First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples whose cultures, languages, knowledge and traditions have shaped these lands for thousands of years.

You’re Tanya Tagaq, Susan Aglukark, Kenojuak Ashevak and the countless Indigenous artists and storytellers whose voices continue to enrich this country.

You’re the powerful stories of the Wendigo, carried through generations of Algonquian-speaking peoples.

And you’re Sasquatch, who’s apparently still doing a remarkable job of avoiding a decent photograph.

You’re the Rocky Mountains rising above British Columbia and Alberta.

The endless prairie skies of Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

The lakes and forests of Ontario and Quebec.

The red soil and rolling hills of Prince Edward Island.

The rugged coastline of Newfoundland and Labrador.

The fishing villages, covered bridges and ocean breezes of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.

You’re the northern lights dancing above Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut.

You’re the Atlantic crashing against the rocks, the Pacific stretching toward the horizon and the Arctic reminding us just how vast this country really is.

You’re canoeing across a still lake at sunrise, with nothing but the sound of a paddle dipping into the water.

You’re the haunting call of a loon across the lake.

The smell of pine trees after the rain.

The crunch of autumn leaves under your boots.

You’re cottage docks, swimming holes, fishing trips, portages and the sound of rain on a tent roof.

You’re campfires, s’mores, mosquito bites and someone insisting they know a shortcut back to the campsite.

You’re a marshmallow catching fire while three people shout conflicting instructions.

You’re Saturday mornings at the rink.

Skates drying by the door.

Frozen ponds, backyard hockey and road hockey games interrupted by someone yelling, “CAR!”

You’re snow days, snow forts, toboggan hills and the first warm afternoon in spring when everyone suddenly appears outside.

You’re poutine, butter tarts, Nanaimo bars, Montreal bagels, Halifax donairs and sirop d’érable poured generously over Sunday pancakes.

You’re maple trees turning brilliant red in October.

The first snowfall in November.

The last stubborn snowbank in April.

And the annual Canadian tradition of declaring winter officially over about six weeks too early.

You’re the neighbour who shovels your driveway without being asked.

The stranger who helps push your car out of a snowbank.

The person who holds the door for someone twenty feet away, leaving both of them in an awkward little race to be polite.

You’re communities that come together when someone loses a home, faces a tragedy or simply needs a hand.

You’re the people whose families have lived here for generations and those who arrived yesterday, carrying their hopes for a better life.

You’re English and French, Indigenous languages and hundreds of others spoken around kitchen tables across this enormous country.

You’re accents that change from one province to the next.

You’re kitchen parties, community rinks, summer festivals, farmers’ markets and neighbours gathering around a backyard fire.

You’re small towns where everybody knows everybody.

And big cities where people from every corner of the world have found a place to belong.

You’re not perfect, Canada.

There are painful chapters in your history, injustices that must be confronted and promises still waiting to be fulfilled.

We disagree. We argue. We complain about the weather, the government, the price of groceries and the Leafs.

But when something truly matters, we have an extraordinary capacity to come together.

We’ve given the world discoveries that saved lives.

Inventions that changed industries.

Music that moved generations.

Stories that travelled across oceans.

Athletes who inspired millions.

And ordinary people who accomplished extraordinary things.

Yet some of the best things about you aren’t famous at all.

They’re the little things.

A canoe on a quiet lake.

A familiar song on the radio.

The smell of a campfire.

A hockey game on a frozen pond.

Fresh snow falling beneath a streetlight.

A neighbour waving from across the street.

A loon calling somewhere in the distance.

The sound of laughter around a kitchen table.

The feeling of coming home.

Because that’s what you are, Canada.

Not just a country on a map.

Not just a flag, a border or a collection of provinces and territories.

You’re the memories we carry.

The stories we tell.

The people we love.

The places we miss when we’re away.

From coast to coast to coast, we’re different in a thousand ways.

And somehow, through all those differences, we share something that feels unmistakably like home.

So here’s to you, Canada.

Not because we’re better than anyone else.

Not because we’ve got everything figured out.

And certainly not because we’re perfect.

But because you’re ours.

Our landscapes. Our stories. Our laughter. Our memories.

Our home.

And sometimes, in a world that seems determined to remind us of everything that’s wrong, it’s worth remembering just how much there is to love.

With love, eh?

Canadians. 🍁

[Fifty Shades of Whey @davenewworld_2]

An asylum seeker from Peru has decribed forced labor and retaliation going on inside Delaney Hall in New Jersey, which is a private, for-profit ICE facility operated by GEO Group.

Martin Soto said people who were detained are being paid as little as $1 per day for difficult labor, facing 12-hour shifts, and being threatened with solitary confinement, loss of family visitation privileges, or lockouts if they refused to work.

Soto was arrested by ICE in February while shopping for diapers for his child and he was released a few weeks ago after 8 months in detention. He helped organize a hunger strike and labor strike while being held.

The New Jersey Department of Labor has certified Soto's U visa application in connection with investigations into labor exploitation. A U visa is reserved for non-citizen victims of qualifying crimes who assist law enforcement in investigating criminal activity.

Concentration camps coercing labor from immigrants through threats of solitary confinement, loss of visitation, or lockouts is some Nazi shit. These corporations like GEO Group prioritize corporate profits over basic human rights.

If this is what they're doing to immigrants today, it's only a matter of time before these monsters bribe our politicians to throw me and you in these concentration camps too just to make a buck.

This gentleman Martin Soto is extremely brave for organizing strikes and coming forward about what's going on. He is more American than all of these gestapo thugs combined.
