I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

There may be hundreds of Canadian soldiers serving in America. Publicly available information suggests that several are deployed within units that have been carrying out some of Donald Trump’s most controversial orders

That is a liability for America and, increasingly, for him

“When an individual enters their residence, conceals themselves behind a closed door, and attempts to go about their everyday life, they are willfully impeding the important work of law enforcement officers and engaging in domestic terrorism,” said DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin

It is horrifying to watch our neighbouring democracy lose itself.

In this new blog I attempt to exhaustively compare and contrast the various scandals and ignorant legislation put forward by the Harper and the Trudeau governments respectively: stefanklietsch.substack.com/p/comparing-...

The term “law enforcement” should not be used by media, except perhaps in quotations. It has sadly become an Orwellian term that is used to magically sanctify violence. Language matters. Be specific. Describe individuals with names and ranks. Say exactly what they did. Don’t repeat fascist hocum.

Good. If the Republican majority really wants secret police invading US cities and killing innocent Americans, they can pass it themselves. Democrats can’t stop this while the GOP controls the White House and both houses of Congress, but Dems can at least refuse to validate it. Now hold that line.

Exactly. Someone read the reviews. bsky.app/profile/jess...

Mark Carney is living rent free in what's left of Trump's mind.

Carney: The US is now too hostile, too volatile, too untrustworthy to be a reliable partner. We must form new international structures. Trump: Call me hostile and volatile, will ya? How 'bout some big tariffs that hurt both of us and undo previous talks. Who's unreliable now! Wait, where you going?

They *are* the federal government. By any authoritative definition, the United States is unequivocally a fascist state.

ICE is devolving under pressure. And that's from a baseline of thuggish secret police. With pressure amounting to people exercising First Amendment rights to tell them to stop unjustified violence, and following/observing/recording them as they do. It's rotten to the core and will only get worse.

NEW: There have been a lot of reviews and recaps of the first horrible year of Trump 2.0. In my OUR LAND newsletter, I look at what might have been the worst thing he did. link.motherjones.com/public/43713... Sign up for a FREE trial subscription to OUR LAND at davidcorn.com.

The doddering old fool is just threatening us with a good time. A 100% tariff on our oil, potash and so many other goods and commodities tanks the American economy pretty well overnight.

Hey! The third episode of my YouTube series Soft Power is out. It would be really cool if you watched and/or liked and/or shared it. youtu.be/XM8LJv6hDfI?...

The singer-turned-politician is the country’s most popular opposition candidate. Now he fears for his life. That is not hyperbole

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

Yesterday I was attending an esports video game competition event as a spectator, Frostfire 2026. There is something special to me about seeing young adults playing my favourite multiplayer video game of all time (Super Smash Bros Melee from 2001) on old CRT TVs that predate their birth.

Timothy Naftali, the founding director of the Richard Nixon Presidential Library, joins @davidfrum.bsky.social to discuss what Frum calls the “many strange moneymaking schemes” around Donald Trump’s plan for a presidential library in Miami. Watch the episode:

In every single Question Period, they kept screaming about this "dangerous experiment," and pushed this bullshit narrative about "Trudeau pushing drugs" (also conflating the very limited safe supply programme with it), but did anyone actually call them on it, particularly the government? Nope.

Because of the toxic supply, the ethos of users shifted from using in private to doing so in public so that someone could see them overdose and maybe revive them with naloxone. It had nothing to do with decriminalization, but that became the favourite scapegoat, particularly from Conservatives.

The other thing that pisses me off about this whole thing is that they blamed open drug use on decriminalization, when it was happening right here on Bank Street in Ottawa, with full criminalization in effect, BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS THE TOXIC DRUG SUPPLY. It's just so stupid.

The Mayor of New York City @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social has released a statement:

Welcome to the Tankie circle jerk. The US attacking Cuba in the 1960s was wrong, which is why Russia attacking Ukraine now, just like they did then, is not wrong, and now the USA is threatening to attack Cuba again, which is back to being wrong. Make sense?

Trump's excuses for taking over Venezuela are as flimsy as Putin's excuses for attempting to conquer Ukraine.

Former CIA officer @johnsipher.bsky.social joins Chris to unpack what the West gets wrong about Russian intelligence—from hostile counterintelligence to Putin’s use of active measures and reflexive control. 🎧 Audio: pod.fo/e/36a59d 🎥 YouTube: youtu.be/EfRdJ98XJz8

The trap Trump now faces - the Epstein redactions will only fuel conspiracy theories even when they are innocuous. Our 2016 JEPS article: "Classified or Coverup? The Effect of Redactions on Conspiracy Theory Beliefs" www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

On the day Donald Trump vandalized the Kennedy Center, Adam Kinzinger predicts that every red state will eventually have a Donald J. Trump Airport (and highway and schools). Because, well, you know… open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

Full of redactions, the thousands of newly released Epstein files seem unlikely to end any Epstein conspiracy theorizing. Likely, they will do the opposite, @cwarzel.bsky.social argues. theatln.tc/91bMrBrs

I finished Metroid Prime 4, and I had a great time doing so! It's not going to be a smooth experience for everyone who picks this game up, but it was a 9/10 experience for me, and not disappointing after 8 years of waiting. See video of my playthrough on YouTube here: youtu.be/27_8vAM7tDc

As McPherson notes, the power has been used more than a hundred times. As McPherson doesn't mention, it hasn't been used since 1943.

Terrorist attacks on people gathering to celebrate feel like an extra twist of the knife. With the Hanukah attack in Australia, it was families, including kids, getting together on a beach for a happy event. And antisemitic incidents in Australia have risen this year, making it even more concerning.

Some mixed reviews out there but for me it’s a 5/5 and my second favorite Prime game. Absolutely loved everything about it - well, almost everything. Also the best HDR I’ve seen in a long time.
