BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

a heartwarming story of how being an unethical and talentless hack is no barrier to success when you are willing to endlessly flatter the wretched views of rich dipshits

CBC: plays a clip of BC First Nations chief saying their goal is no pipeline and no tankers on the north coast Danielle Smith: we’re committed to working with First Nations - but we don’t respect their right to say no. Oh yeah that’ll work #canpoli @cbcstephenquinn.bsky.social

"That was the whole point of the event. It had nothing to do with improving our national security and military readiness. It was a role-play session for undeserving straight, white guys who could never hack it and resent those who could."

Republicans this week: "If I intentionally drive this vehicle off a cliff, it will be the fault of the people in the car that didn't have control of the steering wheel."

Every ranking military official in attendance today should stay in their positions. Force Trump, Miller and Kegseth to "purge" them. Make it public. Each episode will be a disaster and rile up veterans and the majority.

would love to hear more congressional democrats say "should we win power next year we are going to treat every one of these as bribes and act accordingly" arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better." Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better. Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand. We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

Couldn’t agree more. Fixing things that mostly aren’t broken and done without consulting with the people who actually play the game at both professional and amateur level. I’m with Nathan. 3downnation.com/2025/09/26/t... #cfl

“To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police.” - Judge William Young, September 30, 2025

if i were a would-be dictator whose only civilian check on power had been consumed by total-complete partisan loyalty, something i would definitely do is call an unprecedented in-person meeting of the only people who could stop me and then proceed to illustrate why they should stop me

Completely unserious. Total clown show.

What's the word for when a university famous for economics and in possession of a $10bn endowment screws up its finances badly enough it has to sell a whole research institute? www.ft.com/content/4501...

Our mainstream media is pathetically feckless.

So he either knew there was child trafficking and rape being done by the world's most powerful people to hundreds of kids and did absolutely nothing about it or tell anyone. Or he's lying

Maybe because North America and much of Europe has outsourced all of its mid to low price manufacturing to China and they’ve used that to learn how to do it well?

We have to stop dehumanizing ICE agents while they are doing their important job of dehumanizing us

Within the legal community, every conceivable alarm bell is ringing. And all of them are too late. America has no meaningful federal law enforcement anymore. It has Trump personal lawyers and a Trump political machine that masquerades as rule of law. There *is* no DOJ or FBI now. Please share.

If you’ve been following the RFK Jr autism news, then you’ve probably heard that there’s a systematic review “proving” Tylenol causes autism. Here’s my review of that paper👇🏼 open.substack.com/pub/epiellie...

Hey @riotheatre.bsky.social ???

Call me crazy but I think the Democrats should say no to funding the government unless Trump keeps his promise to lower the cost of living. He ran on it. He promised it. Saying no holds him accountable. That's a fight worth having.

It's never occurred to me that it IS an assumption. This is the most astonishing start to a paper I've read in years: "Living organisms are assumed to produce same-species offspring. Here, we report a shift from this norm in Messor ibericus, an ant that lays individuals from two distinct species."

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

"Just cut taxes and deregulate!" Oh, and devastate your government capacity and social safety net while you're at it. Everyone will be worse off but the CEO class, but that's the way it should be, right? And as per usual, this kind of nonsense gets no challenge from legal media.

It would be great if @cdnpress.bsky.social could actually acknowledge that the administration of justice is a provincial responsibility, and that Ford's government is the biggest problem with bail, not the Criminal Code.

This large Swedish study found no association between acetaminophen & autism using matched sibling controls. Also no dose-response effect. Ppl who use acetaminophen while pregnant differ in many ways from those who do not, & using sibling controls was a great way to reduce unmeasured confounding

Not yet by any means…

Rebecca Bligh voted to slash wages for workers, to block rental housing in wealthy neighbourhoods, and to oppose common sense tools to properly fund our schools. We need a progressive mayor on the ballot to deliver the change Vancouver needs. And we’ll get one. More soon.

Criminals often feel wronged for being held legally accountable for their crimes. Their freedom to commit crimes has been violated by law enforcement.

It is a truth too often unacknowledged, that a populist in possession of the public's rage must be in perpetual want of an enemy.

I really wish that we lived in a world where the leadership of my country could choose to *not* stand up and applaud a statement that could be interpreted as an endorsement of a foreign racist without threatening the economy of my entire country. #canpoli 🇨🇦

this from my piece on charlie kirk is probably the most important takeaway if you want to know why bad faith, right-wing voices in media are treated as just another set of peers

“Democracy Dies in Darkness” was meant to be a warning not a to-do list. How on earth can the Washington Post be expected to fight against government overreach in crushing dissent when it is doing Trump’s work for him?

For the record. My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers. I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

Firing a Black woman for quoting Kirk’s horrific statements about Black women is insane. It seems the Washington Post would rather perform politeness (and demand that the people Kirk harmed do it too) that tell the truth: karenattiah.substack.com/p/the-washin...

The one time we got the smoking gun of undeniable ideology that mapped neatly onto american partisanship in political violence was J6, and we decided it was too scary to treat it as such, so now we return to deciphering memes of school shooters like medieval peasants panicking at an eclipse.

This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

An extremely clear reason that we should not be measuring the health of an economy by indexes tied to how the wealthiest increase their wealth… @rbreich.bsky.social

Amidst all the handwringing Al Jazeera is doing the grunt work. www.aljazeera.com/video/newsfe... This is a coordinated right wing campaign, not an organic response.

This breakdown is 🔥 The debate on which side uses political violence as a weapon is over. The receipts are here, and they all point right. PS: Only one side has been threatening civil war, and it isn’t the left.
