Klobuchar: "When I questioned AG Bondi during her confirmation hearing, she assured me that politics would not play a role, that they would make independent decisions. That is not what this is. This is a vengeance prosecution. It is not about the law."

Northback is submitting a massively revamped proposal on the Grassy Mountain coal mine which includes a much smaller footprint. Has Brian Jean sent a letter saying this new proposal still counts as an advanced project yet? #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

“You cannot trust the [United States] federal government. Everything they say should be assumed to be a lie.” This has been clear for quite a while, and should be understood by everyone, especially given that too many in the media are still pretending they don’t understand it.

13% of Canada's emissions come from the oilsands – a handful of companies in Alberta. And they’re still growing every year. Our oil and gas expert Amanda Bryant on why even with talk of a “grand bargain,” regulation is needed to ensure these companies invest in decarbonization.

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

Canada Post should be a SERVICE!

The media have to start framing this accurately. The president is now functioning as a tyrant. The story is whether the other two branches of government will do anything to stop him.

Here’s my latest as we watch yet another storm approach the Carolinas. Thinking about all the people devastated by Hurricane Helene one year ago today who are watching with considerable anxiety.

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you… Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest. The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

To honour Refaat al-Areer’s memory on his birthday today (September 23), I recorded myself reading his poem “If I Must Die”. Thank you for the suggestion, @mosababutoha.bsky.social.

The thing about Tylenol and autism is that Trump is in the Epstein Files.

All I'm gonna say as someone who works in K-12, if you think it's bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet. The real storm is still on the horizon for higher ed. I don't know how we stop this train before it details everything, but I keep trying.
