Finies les folies.

I support a lot of PM Carney’s agenda, but I can’t decide what’s the greater surprise: the apparent downgrading of climate change as one of his top policy priorities, or the public quiescence of so many Liberal MPs & cabinet ministers who didn’t used to support drill-baby-drill.

Wab Kinew is reimagining Louis Riel’s Manitoba – and with it, a Canada still in the making @isabellebt.bsky.social latourtiere.substack.com/p/la-presse-...?

It’s really cool that when you say “ugh the disgusting sex story again” you have to clarify if it’s the horrible criminal one or the one that’s horrible but legal

Gavin Newsom's 2028 campaign is going to launch with him firing a grenade into a homeless encampment and then talking about how Trump is a coward.

What a terrible day to know how to read

Two thirds of Canadians say they are focused on basic or safety needs. Not ambition. Not achievement. Survival. This shift is driving polarization and mistrust. Leaders need a new playbook. I lay it out here. abacusdata.ca/leading-in-...

"There’s an iconic image of Hillary Clinton on the 2016 campaign trail looking out of place and conspicuously uncomfortable in an East Harlem working-class apartment. Zohran Mamdani’s campaign for mayor was the exact opposite of that, all the time." I'm on this team

As a member of the King's Privy Council for Canada, the incoming Mayor of Montreal will outrank the Premier of Quebec in the Order of Precedence for Canada.

The federal government will be forced to intervene if this continues.

here's my latest for the star on all the alleged CPC drama re: Poilievre's leadership: "But even if a newly-minted Liberal MP is claiming turmoil within Conservative circles, the reality is Poilievre is in far less danger than he might appear to be.”

Tax the rich. Billionaire tears not pictured.

Wisconsin Republicans are introducing a bill that mandates women use ‘catch kits’ when they have a miscarriage or abortion at home—forcing them to bag up their pregnancy tissue and bring it to the doctor as medical waste. jessica.substack.com/p/wisconsin-...

Congratulations Montreal! According to this video clip of Prime Minister Trudeau, Mirabel Airport is scheduled to be completed by the end of this year! youtu.be/diwpC2784xM?...

I would like to see polling in the Rest of Canada on Quebec sovereignty, because that's who actually has the final say on the matter.

if your ideology is based on the idea that it is justifiable to prey on the weak there isn't going to be a meaningful boundary you can draw between looting from the poor and sexually exploiting kids. i don't think every conservative is a pervert but that is the logical conclusion of their beliefs

Moments of opportunity like this come along rarely, and with Dean and Elle we'll seize upon it to usher in a new day for New York.

Last week's election and last night's betrayal prove that the Democratic base has rightfully moved to the left of its establishment politicians and their status quo. Voters won't accept it anymore, so the party either follows them or fails. Me for @spitfirenews.com spitfirenews.com/p/establishm...

I don't know if anyone ever considered this before but I think we should have a left wing party in the United States. Just my opinion

Basically nobody except for people who feel compelled to post about politics all the time like us will remember this happened in six months, and we are a much smaller percentage of the population than we think we are.

Good

Things are so bad back home – we have no doctors anymore and we gave all of our music awards to one artist.

The model of holding individual senators responsible is broken here. The retirees clearly agreed to take the fall. Which is why the nos should get no credit for voting no unless they move to oust Schumer

quisling-ass senate

So every freelancer you know is going to lose their insurance or be bankrupted by premiums because Schumer is an invertebrate

No one can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory like Democratic leadership. Count on it.

i’m ready for something different than whatever the fuck this is

BROOKLYN WE ARE GOING TO CHUCKS! Join us across from 9 PPW at 8:30 *tonight* Bring pots and pans, let’s make some noise about Chuck folding (again). Not another #SchumerSurrender @indivisible.org @riseandresist.bsky.social @50501newyork.bsky.social @handsoffnyc.bsky.social

if they were going to cave anyway they should’ve done it a week ago to spare SNAP recipients the agony.

N’est-ce pas précisément parce que la politique pullule de gens à l’opposé de Mamdani, qui gouvernent pour leur caste et pour l’après-politique, que le monde va si mal ? Mon texte dans Le Devoir du jour.

Very exciting to see activists launching a new nonprofit today to keep building on the community of volunteers that came together to get Mamdani elected. Our Time is a 501(c)(4) and plans to start events in December.

Thank you, New York City. Together we made history. Now let’s get to work. transition2025.com
