And now in 2026 Canada has passed policies that extend citizenship descent based to people whose Canadian ancestry comes from a time when the country was even whiter than now, while cutting off other avenues of immigration.

Everyone holding this up as a sign that Canada wasn't and isn't racist doesn't understand how racism functions. White people don't mind Black people as long as they're exceptional and rare. See also: Josephine Baker in Paris.

Not excusing Pichai, but swap him for Peter Thiel and we get the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Considering the well-deserved hell Sam Altman is currently living through, it won't be long until Zuckerberg, Bezos, and Musk require 24 hour security. The enshittification of society starts with them.

In addition to being laughably unqualified to run a yard sale much less the Department of Defense, Pete Hegseth is an incompetent and racist white nationalist Christofascist that has made the USA and the world less safe. Oh, and he's a grifting war profiteer too. Pack his ass up.

Intense heat in cities like New York, Philadelphia and Washington DC is unusual for April, weather experts say

Robert Jenrick demanding the Southport killer's parents be deported isn't just unabashed racism. It's white supremacy and far-right nativism masquerading as policy. If a court finds them criminally negligent re: their son, they'll face legal consequences. Calling for deportation is vile poison.

Status quo centrists are the absolute worst. They never take dangerous far-right fascists at their word, and would rather appeal to imaginary "reasonable" right-wing reactionaries and provocateurs than cede an inch to progressives or anyone to the left of them.

Playoff Rose Garden (or whatever its called now) is always electric, and Blazers v. Spurs is genuinely intriguing due to Portland having an armada of big, athletic, and versatile wings to exhaust and pester Wemby with.

It's mystifying that elected officials haven't done more to inform the public of how much harder day-to-day life is about to get. They've been living on borrowed time and are in for a rude awakening when the product shortages born of excessive oil price spikes and panic buying starts.

The International Monetary Fund has modestly reduced its forecast for global economic growth this year due to the Iran war but warned of a much bigger possible hit, the latest major economic body to outline dark scenarios as a result of the conflict. https://cnn.it/4cJJTCa

As someone who only recently discovered who Sneako and Clavicular are, I'm not at all surprised that tragedy has befallen them both while streaming. Oh, and they're both awful people that push toxic and abusive views to their young followings.

<60’s anchorman voice> In today’s news, the vice president of the United States mansplained Catholicism to the Pope in excommunicable fashion after being ridiculed in front of a barely attended arena as looksmaxxer Clavicular was ethered by Australia and later overdosed on an unknown substance

I’ve reached an age at which, with each unfortunate, unwanted encounter with Clavicular, my first thought is, “Who are this boy’s parents and what is wrong with them?”

Spoelstra is right. LaMelo not being immediately ejected for that is mystifying, and the NBA should suspend him for that dirty play on Bam Adebayo. But will they? It would be handing whoever loses between Orlando and Philadelphia an automatic advantage.

Redemption for LaMelo after a layup in traffic at one end, and a game-saving block by the Hornets against Davion Mitchell on the other. Charlotte wins.

Up by 5 with 23 seconds left and down 1 with 8.7. Spectacularly bad sequence.

Oh no. LaMelo giveth, LaMelo taketh away. Horrible turnover, then he compounded it by fouling Tyler Herro on a 3pt attempt. Hornets are down 1 after Herro makes all 3 free throws.

That deceleration move definitely should have been called a travel, but we haven't had a spin-the-wheel star like LaMelo in the NBA for a long time. You legitimately never know what insane trick shot he'll launch.

i would simply not refer to miles bridges as a guy who has "been through it"

I would've paid whatever was left in my bank account to hear Eric Collins for that moment

Build Coby White a statue. What an unbelievable shot. There's no defense for that. Hornets tie it up. Gutsy playcall by Charles Lee to draw that up for him.

Clearly, the regime believes that people cease having basic human and civil rights once ICE kidnaps and stashes them in any one of these concentration camps. This is unconscionable, unforgivable, and should result in every ICE agent and regime official being hauled off to federal prison.

You can draw a straight line between extended Grant Williams minutes and Kon Knueppel throwing up a Playoff DeRozan performance. Tonight was not the game for him to go missing. If he was anywhere near his usual self, Charlotte run away with this.

Minus Miles Bridges, the Hornets will graduate from League Pass darlings to everyone's second favorite team due to how wildly exciting their playing style is. And to think LaMelo was getting thrown around in trade rumours just a few months ago.

The "We Believe" Warriors vibe from these Hornets is impossible to ignore. LaMelo threw an absolute grenade to Coby White, who still tossed in a triple at the buzzer.

Coby White is unconscious. What an explosion to end the 3rd.

Kel'el Ware has grabbed this game by the scruff of the neck and taken it over. Elite rebounding and rim protection with Bam Adebayo sidelined, and the Hornets have had no answer for him.

Hopefully Bam Adebayo is okay, but on entertainment value alone, the NBA needs the Hornets in the playoffs. Any enthusiasm I had for Miami evaporated during the losing streak last month and both Toronto blowouts last week. Even Heat fans are frustrated with how Jekyll and Hyde this group has been.

I would love to hear why the Clippers gave up on Moussa Diabate. Charlotte having both him and Ryan Kalkbrenner (who fell into their laps at 34th in the draft) to build around is ridiculous.

There are many reasons to believe that Orban's defeat will have major repercussions: 1. The foremost example of "illiberal democracy" has been voted out. 2. The Putin-Trump autocratic model has failed with Orban. More extremists are likely to be voted out - the US midterms! /1

Think of the white women! Yes, I am being inflammatory but I'm also hoping a geriatric granny with a Jerry Lewis shrine getting grabbed by ICE makes y'all do something because you sure as shit didn't care about all those brown people.

Amplifying this thread because things are about to get ugly re: fuel prices, energy costs, and industries reliant on rapid (or timely) transportation. Product shortages are inevitable once the panic buying starts, but fuel rationing should have started weeks ago.

PSG slightly fortuitous – came under heavy pressure in second half and survived that slightly fishy overturned penalty. But a sign they can pull off big wins when not quite at their best. Huge night for Matvei Safonov. And Ousmane Dembele provides yet more evidence that last season wasn't a one-off.

PSG deservedly through but Liverpool gave everything tonight and if they’d scored when on top, who knows? Still, that was a performance fans can get behind and, unlike many of them this season, suggested something is being built during this season. Key now to finish it strongly.

Dilley is evil and must be closed. It's a goddamn concentration camp. A moral abomination. People are going to Hell over this.

it just lifts my heart to feel heard. thanks, ICE lawyer. 💜

Oh, we're far past shame. Syracuse having no interest in vouching for John Bol Ajak is something the parents of every future athletic recruit should bring up during home and campus visits. The stench of doing nothing to save a vulnerable Syracuse alum from Trump's fascism won't wash off.

FIFA's panic is palpable. Gianni Infantino won't condemn the inhumane barbarity of ICE's concentration camps while he prances about in his MAGA hat, but he will beg Trump not to unleash ICE raids against paying customers. How considerate. There's no promise Trump can make that he won't break.

Remarkable, must-read story about how @mrs-frazzled.bsky.social and @cheyennehunt.bsky.social brought down the despicable Eric Swalwell. This didn't happen overnight. www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

Good riddance to Eric Swalwell. Creeps, sexual predators, sex pests, and anyone that disregards consent or the word "no" have no place in government. Now do Tony Gonzales and Cory Mills. Boot them both out.

The same week the NYTimes was devoting its significant resources to producing this ridiculous piece about Lauren Sanchez Bezos's call for rich people to not worry and be happy, Ryan Hass, an independent journalist in Oregon, was investigating this horrifying story about a death in an Amazon plant.
