Trump is ordering the military to use “full force” against an American city, while the Supreme Court declares him the Sun King and Congress hides under a pile of coats. The checks and balances only work when the institutions aren’t run by utter cowards and the complicit

From the DM's... A message from a teacher that all of us should read, but is clearly meant for other teachers as they navigate this weekends vote. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli #ABED

The most fascinating thing about the disappearance of Amelia Earhart in 1937 is that Donald Trump and his Republican Party are doing everything possible to avoid the full and unabridged release of the Epstein files in 2025 and to make you think about anyfuckingthing else.

Wounded Knee is a dark stain upon our nation’s history. We must remember it for what it truly was, not for what white nationalists would have it be.

Premier’s use of the Charter of Rights & Freedoms “Notwithstanding Clause” is supposed to be VERY RARE, to address blatant Judicial overreach. Smith in Alberta would use it to blatantly erase human rights, the CORE OF THE CHARTER. Ford in Ontario would use it to backstop his own BLATANT OVERREACH.

The only way the world can know if the president meant what he said today is if he comes back to Washington and puts America firmly back on the side of NATO and Ukraine with money and materiel. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

You can tell they think the speech went well because all they want to talk about are escalators and teleprompters.

They've known it for years.

HOLY SHIT

Seems bad for our society when you can’t make racist terrorists the villains

Worth standing up and applauding for, @liberalca.bsky.social ? #canpoli

Hi American Parents, As a Dad, don’t take advice from semi-sentient greasy dish cloths. Ask your doctor.

The 1947 version of this during the Cold War Red Scare was called the Committee for the First Amendment who flew from Hollywood to DC to protest the HUAC hearings. It included Humphrey Bogart, Danny Kate, Henry Fonda, Lucille Ball, Katharine Hepburn, Bette Davis, Judy Garland, Gene Kelly, and more

One of my long-term predictions is that the left/Dems will become more critical of the media, particularly over censor/ownership issues. Mamdani telling ABC to stuff it will be popular. It's not just Bernie on an island saying the corp owners are misleading the readers.

Hey Scott Moe What was name of research company Moe? Please provide copy of the advice. Thanks. “Moe’s office, in a statement, said it relied on advice from an independent non-profit research company in procuring the planes. “ thestarphoenix.com/news/saskatc...

At the Nuremberg trials, Karl Dönitz was convicted of war crimes for the sinking of civilian vessels. This is not a complicated question, it's been illegal for centuries.

Some good news out of Saskatchewan this morning. #skpoli thestarphoenix.com/news/saskatc...

Should I watch clips of the Charlie Kirk funeral, or wait till Leni Riefenstahl edits it all together?

We are in an era of mass institutional cowardice but lots of individual bravery.

All this outpouring for Jimmy Kimmel is performed by the same group who disregarded ppl’s right to publicly oppose a genocide. I didn’t see this much support for the students protesting genocide

I was far from the first to say this, & I definitely won’t be the last, but it isn’t the evil of Trump, MAGA and the GOP that’s been surprising. They made it clear what they were going to do, for everyone who paid attention & didn’t self-delude. The surprise has been the surrendering, the weakness.

“Right-wing voices incite violence every day and keep their microphones. Kimmel simply stated his opinion on the chaos presently unfolding and yet he is the one who is silenced.”

CNN has made the editorial decision to keep playing this clip on air for guests making sure they get the full context of what Kimmel said. Good.

Lol wow the losers on the view chickened out and didn’t even mention the Kimmel cancellation lol even their agents & managers are saying they are total wimps. We need to reeducate so much of American society to weed out the pedophiles Nazis & losers lol#EpsteinsEnablers #EpsteinsView #CharlieWasWeak

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama. His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful. Now he is tweeting in support of me. This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*. Or used to work.

Call me radical, but I think we *don't* need to have polite chats with racists who are spewing conspiracy theories that keep motivating white supremacists to massacre our fellow citizens, and we *don't* need to have bipartisan deals with fascists trying to destroy our democracy and our government.

When journalism was cool. And risked everything to challenge power.

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this. You're welcome

Enough already. The White House via Stephen Miller says Democrats are an "domestic extremist organization" & JD Vance says he wants to crush the Dems. Trump says Dems are radical leftists and it was radical leftists who killed Kirk. How can you have bipartisan negotiations with people like that

"I'm not going to be conscripted into saying... how sorry I am for him and his family" - Hitchens on Falwell on Fox I'm reminded of how the late Christopher Hitchens reacted to Jerry Falwell's death, by lambasting his political legacy, with Sean Hannity on Fox at the time.

In a sane world, Fox host Brian Kilmeade would be fired and shunned for his depraved comments that homeless people should be euthanized. That’s sick (and deeply ignorant), but sicker still is that it’s tolerated.

This is, essentially, the Klan. Maybe wokeness isn't the problem, maybe anti-wokeness is. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Claiming that routine immunization requirements for school are an issue of parental rights dehumanizes children. Kids have intrinsic rights just as anyone, and parents are obligated to provide the best care possible for them. That includes providing them with indicated medical interventions.

Neofascist Vice President JD Vance’s old Yale Law School buddy Jamil Jivani droning on with the old 🇨🇦Canada is broken refrain. Not selling, bucko. 🤭

This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law. May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.

The ‘it’s not fascism’ thesis has been subdued by blunt force trauma

we’re going to have to throw a lot of people in jail after all this is over

a dimwitted clod, a turgid writer, and an outrageous hypocrite who spent her college years trying to suppress Palestinian speech then made a career out of crying about woke SJWs suppressing speech on campus, now likely gets handed CBS News on a silver platter. this is called "meritocracy"

"It is past time for both Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer to step down and step aside. This fascist moment, this age of Trump, demands outspoken, unrelenting and fearless opposition... we all deserve better." I make the case, in my latest for The Guardian, for new leadership:

The natural end point of reactionary right-wing populism and its adoption of anti-vax attitudes during the pandemic, and pandemic which should have led to society doubling-down on vaccine mandates and which now is undoing a century of progress on human health.

homeschooled alumni have been saying this, and it's bad

Trump illegally killing drug dealers, illegally unleashing the national guard and military against citizens, illegally detaining and kidnapping immigrants, threatening to end mail-in voting, and urging gerrymandering. Folks, what would you call these actions if another leader did them?

1/ Egale Canada and Skipping Stone have filed a constitutional challenge against the Government of Alberta’s Education Amendment Act, 2024 (formerly Bill 27), which places unconstitutional restrictions on the use of names and pronouns in schools across Alberta.
