He never saw the sexual abuse going on because he's Gym-Pants-on-Head Jordan.

I'll just put it out there, that it was the Chuck Schumer who, as the leader of the DSCC in 2006 endorsed Bernie Sanders and helped ensure no other Democrat challenger would appear on the ballot to split his vote. So Schumer hasn't really been outwardly anti-Sanders over the decades they knew each other since his time in Brooklyn.

I still think that at present he stands to just rot in the Senate leader's chair ala Mitch McConnell, and this moment calls for change and a movement away from the age-old familiar practices in order to meet it.

I might be able to organize one for Canada for our lemmy.ca, piefed.ca and sh.itjust.works (and other Fediverse server users who live in Canada) peeps...

I'm not sure who would be comfortable with sharing the address attached to their real name or username on here? I move around too much to be able to organize collecting everything in a PO box and sending it to people, it would rely more on giving random people another user's address and people directly shipping to each other...

Roberts' Corrupt Court: The Constitution didn't say nuthin' about free rhetoric!

The Liberal budget, delivered on Thursday, has set aside $11.2 billion over the next four years in a bid to end homelessness in the next 10 years.

It's an echo of the promise then Vancouver mayor Gregor Robertson made in 2008 — and was ultimately unable to fulfil.

Speaking in Winnipeg on Friday, Robertson, now federal housing minister, said he didn't have the right tools at the time.

"We did not have the support," Robertson said. "As a city, we set the goal — the federal and provincial governments were not co-ordinating, were not investing in the scale that was needed to solve the challenge in Vancouver." [...]

Ottawa's plan targets homelessness prevention, expanding access to housing and funding new mental health infrastructure. Components include more support for unhoused veterans, helping low-income people cover rent and building new mental health and addiction treatment facilities. [Article continues.]

How long til it becomes the Temp-ermanent-orary Foreign Worker program?

Most members of Trump's cabinet bring enough political spectacle they could each run their own travelling circus.

This is orientation week. Some political commentators I listened to were talking about how this is supposed to be the time where more senior folks try to brainwash the newly electeds to fall in line with the Democratic Party(TM) way of doing things, like catering to donors and "showing unity" in the face of an assault on democracy itself.

So it's no surprise, but all the more important to keep reaching out to your electeds if you're American, even if you live there but have no voting rights, to help them keep their resolve if they are trying to stand against leadership, or help convince them to move against them.

Canada's largest private-sector union.

What if Democrats manage to investigate and refer evidence to state criminal trials (so they are safe from pay-to-pardon) all of Trump's corrupt appointees, and let Trump pick more corrupt people to repeat the cycle, like flies to a piece of crap?

Carney is a businessman, he's cutting Canada's tax bill in future years through tax loss harvesting! Smart!
