This is a remarkable @nytimes.com split screen: A huge 3,526 word + photos profile on Sen Britt who "can't stop thinking about the boy ICE detained" But Rep Jaoquin Castro- who actually got Liam Ramos out of detention & back home- gets no interview, no pix, just 116 words inside a story. WOW.

Andor season 1 was a slow burn and I think that’s what I enjoyed about it. The quiet contemplation of how oppression happens while people either ignore it, or dismiss it.

Jesus Christ! Yeah, sure. She was a domestic terrorist with her doggy in the backseat, and a front seat full of stuffies. That’s how domestic terrorists roll. They take their wives and their dogs along when they’re doing some terrorism.

🚨"This is nuts! What the f*ck is going on, this is insane! ICE is just trying to scare people; they tell you it's only immigrants—it's f*cking anybody!" -furious Minneapolis resident tells our @zdroberts.bsky.social after ICE shot a man in the leg tonight. LIVE NOW ⬇️

Trump wants to end Canadian sovereignty, and Canada isn’t rising to the threat Morning File by me

It’s just so weird that they paint their face orange as some kind of tribal marker or shibboleth.

🧵 Every time I read a Detwiller post, I’m reminded of that pressing Steve Martin speech from the movie Grand Canyon: “The point is there's a gulf in this country; an ever-widening abyss between the people who have stuff, and the people who don't have shit…

www.theguardian.com/science/2026... 😳 This is the opening scenario of almost every space horror movie.

From a practical perspective, their cops have more guns than the citizens they are sworn to protect. Police should defend citizens even from better armed assailants. It is time to take a stand. After all, that’s the gig.

Preach, brother!

I love kittens. And I make no apologies for saying so.

Finally someone connects the dots. The American regime’s play for Venezuela is part and parcel of their play for Canada. Destroy Venezuela, and weaken Canada. Some really fine reporting by Evan Dyer: www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Trump should go back to his show too.

With current headlines like this, the whole world should be grateful that Canadians chose Carney over Poilievre and his snarky, grade-school antics.

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... Here’s what Campbell’s Soup should say: “We have a wonderful quality control of our products. We just need better quality control for our executives.”

I am so tired of waking up every day to some new outrage from the American shit show.

Peter Coviello’s passionate takedown of New York Times is one for the ages. Personal, honest, and brilliantly written. If you haven’t already read it, make time in your day for a beautiful long read. lithub.com/maybe-dont-t...

Polanski’s sincerity, empathy and intelligence radiates so strongly throughout this interview. I have never seen a politician, so comfortable in their own skin, or with their own beliefs. He leaves his condescending interviewer, Trevor Phillips, utterly flat-footed. news.sky.com/video/zack-p...

Before there was AI, there were Hallmark greeting cards.

They’re eating the pets, they’re raping the Hobbits!

The Ontario government should double down and release the unedited video so that everyone can see it. Use the Streisand Effect to their advantage: youtube.com/shorts/Mj6N-...

This really is the dividing line between Democrats and Republicans in the US, and between Liberals and Conservatives in Canada. It’s the difference between governance and partisanship.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that Blue Rodeo’s album “Five Days in July” changed my life. Especially its signature song, “Five Days in May”. Here’s hoping it will change yours too! This a live version: youtu.be/Mo6chkg8GVk

This is a stunningly good read. I was a lifelong Atlantic reader until I stopped cold turkey this year. No clicks since. And I’ve had a lifelong version to Chait, who has been harder to avoid as he pops around from platform to platform. Rashid, on the other hand, has a sharp eye and a sharp pen.

One of the simplest and most heartfelt explanations of institutional racism that I’ve ever heard.

One thing that helps me a lot is thinking of my mind as a camera with a lens that can zoom WAY in or WAY out. Whenever you find yourself paralyzed by useless stress, zooming out toward the cosmic or in toward the infinitely moment-mindful is both healthy and wise. It's ALL reality.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov You need to live broadcast and post to warn, guide and advise your citizens - moment by moment. They need to know what you are doing to protect them and what, exactly, they should do too. Otherwise they’ll fight back anyway they can, and Trump will have the war he wants.

Republican are outraged by the very idea of people getting healthcare… because they don’t deserve it. Try explaining this to any other developed nation.

This is the plot of every dire movie from the 80s 90s and aughts.

I would love to hear from ‘Wall Steeters’ about what things they will have to forgo in this new era of class warfare. What are the exact things that you won’t be able to buy? Make me a list and read it out loud.

Icestapo That’s it.

I was in Chile in 1986, and this is probably the best analogy for the current state of affairs. The things that were routine there - tear gas, riot police, rounding up citizens for nothing more than gathering… well, it simply never would have occurred to me that this was the future of the USA.

In the mid 80s, was sitting in a bar at the Four Seasons. So was Sting. We were both waiting for people coming in by plane who were delayed because of a snowstorm. So we sat and drank until they arrived. Still have the autograph.

As a child, when my grandparents, great aunts, and great uncles would show me old family portraits, they would use a common expression: “made it to adulthood.” As in, “We were 13, but only six of us made it to adulthood.” Those were the times before vaccines. You don’t hear that so much anymore.

The American state has failed by every operational metric. But it still exports legitimacy. That’s what collapse looks like in a world where perception is power. www.theindex.media/america-is-a...
