My latest! I'm keeping a list of the cuts that Mark Carney's government has made, and what impact they'll have on our public services. noraloreto.substack.com/p/counting-t...

“the president cannot have failed, he must have been deceived by Jews” is going to be the narrative MAGA settles on to excuse this disaster and it’s going to be very, very bad

Come for the St. Patrick's Day greeting, stay for the history lesson. A great message!

“Give me your riches or your kids will die” is not how democracies negotiate. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/16/h...

Corporate actors have often been active supporters of welfare state expansions, including basic income proposals, during periods of upheaval, (eg 1960s) out of fear. They have so effectively co-opted the state now, they feel they have nothing to fear.

Mark Carney, February 2026: "Let's build a more cooperative, resilient world together. Canada is ready." Mark Carney, also February 2026: "Let's cut 15% of the department responsible for Canada’s environmental policies, including advisors to cooperation programs around the Arctic."

Strange how every “America First” move somehow ends up helping Moscow. What a coincidence.

The most effective form of GOTV is door-to-door canvassing, with effect sizes in the range of 3-5%. That's for undecideds/people leaning toward your party. All other forms of GOTV have smaller (!!!) effect sizes. It's next to impossible to convince someone who likes the other party to vote for you.

Spanish PM Sánchez responds to Trump: "Spain is against this disaster... Govts are here to improve people's lives... It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure, and in the process, fill the pockets of a few."

“Conspiracy theories about globalist cabals, climate hoaxes and election fraud may seem ubiquitous on social media. But a report has found that they come from a tiny minority of users… just 100 users were responsible for almost 70% of online conspiracy posts…” Via @nationalobserver.com #UrbanTruth

Is it really so hard for Mark Carney to say something like this instead of constantly defending US breaches of international law?

You, talking about Graham Platner Me, thinking about Phil Plantier

To this I'd add that Carney isn't just responding to Trump; he's showing the next US president -- Democratic or Republican -- that Canada, or at least Carney's Canada, has no red lines, no principles worth defending, and no guts for a real fight if push comes to shove (and it will).

The entire Democratic strategy debate — "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? — is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close! New: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/new-poll-d...

They also tased and tackled him for no reason. He said "Sorry" and couldn't speak English. He was holding 2 shower curtain rods as walking sticks. He spent 15 months in jail only to be released to die alone in the cold. You should be livid after reading this. They killed him bc they could.

The US Justice Department withheld testimony that Donald Trump sexually abused a girl when she was 13 or 14 - according to a source who viewed unredacted Epstein files. This is the worst scandal in US history and should be the biggest news story on the planet right now. www.npr.org/2026/02/24/n...

Transphobia is an astroturfed moral panic invented from whole cloth by people on the Epstein list

Just to reframe this, so it's clear. Metrolinx has given Putin's envoy, Oleg Deripaska, over a billion dollars of taxpayer money. He's sanctioned. 😂 Deripaska, who worked with Paul Manafort on behalf of Russia to install Trump. This Deripaska. 👇

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here. Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

Holy shit. He really just… is Putin’s partner in every way.

political malpractice that this chart hasnt been seared into the brains of every single american through advertising and social media

Age verification? I can name all 28 of the original Transformer toys

Keep this in mind when people claim cars mean business — closing Central #Madrid to cars over holidays resulted in a 9.5% boost in retail spending on its main shopping street: STUDY. There was also a 71% drop in air pollution. Via @carltonreid.com in @forbes.com. #citymakingmath #citiesforpeople

Never forget: Pam Bondi and Kash said there was nothing in the Epstein files back in March

For those keeping score at home:

That's a good question. What's a list of things Trump has never done? I think he has never wrapped a present. bsky.app/profile/kevr...

“wHy dO yOu mAkE eVeRyThInG aBoUt rAcE”

"What exactly do you expect Carney to do / not do?" A thread of 50 specific items (with links, and not in any particular order), a large fraction of which are in line with warning signs we pointed out early on and were told to be quiet, wait and see, or trust his 4D chess acumen. 1/??

Absolutely incredible sequence from CNN. "Maduro was a paranoid lunatic always lying about the CIA trying to overthrow him. Anyways, now that the CIA has overthrown him..."

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

it's cool that so many people in positions of power and influence were so negatively polarized by "wokeness" that they convinced themselves that there was an actual debate about who wanted to erase history and the "wokes" were on the wrong side bsky.app/profile/arch...

Donald Trump’s so-called "Board of Peace" is offensive. Mark Carney must reverse his decision to join Trump in this transparently colonial scheme. 1/4

When I lecture to students about how the apparently thriving economy of the 1920s was really a house of cards just waiting to be knocked down, one of the points I stress is how much a small number of the very rich were essentially propping up consumer spending in unsustainable ways

Respectfully, I am going to whisper to some of our white comrades a truth that should be more widely known: You definitely have some ancestors to be proud of, ancestors who refused white supremacy, and poured out their lives in many of these struggles over time. Time to claim your true history.

Yet another scandal that would have ended any other administration. Trump's salvation is that he's doing a hundred different things that would be huge scandals and impeachable offenses on their own, but pursued together they become a blob of vague criminality that's hard to tack down.

This is a guy who has his dream job. And there’s only one of those positions in the world. Yet he’s still speaking out and risking reprisal. Where are 90% of the others in entertainment, music, movies etc?

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

At best, he's an elbows-down wuss. At worst, he's a collaborator.

The president unilaterally decided to attack a sovereign nation and kidnap its leader, and now he says he's just going to run that county himself for a while too. Call your representatives now and demand they impeach him.

Trump announcing to the world that the US will only let a puppet take over Venezuela.

The thing I will remember most about 2025 is that Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Russell Vought took live-saving medicine and food away from hundreds of thousands of sick and starving children, and this did not change the way the media and society in general regarded them in any significant way.

Yeah, man, the only difference between your career and Mark Rufallo’s career is the political stuff.

Famously Sauron is known for never allowing his home to he penetrated by intruders.

I just taught my lecture course on mid-20th c US history, which starts with Harding and concludes with Nixon. For the first time, I had to pause and stress that those scandals were actually shocking at the time and, what’s more, that Americans actually demanded people be held accountable.

Just in my lifetime we've slid from: "just the facts ma'am." to "fuck your feelings." to "facts are tricky, let's just do stuff based on what we feel SHOULD be true." to "I invented a robot that says 'very insightful' every time you delude yourself! To deny its rise is punishable by gov't torture."

I *am* a one issue voter, actually. My one issue is "do you see all human beings as equitably entitled to basic human rights and dignity, or do you see some people as acceptable losses or sacrifices?"

True. Thanks to Bills 3 and 39, the mayors are part of the provincial government now. We only keep the illusion of municipal democracy for the normies. www.corruptario.ca/why-your-may...

“It’s not just that our taxes are going into some sick circular economy with Ford and his donors - it’s that it’s not going into healthcare, education, or homelessness! Ford’s scandals are causing HARM to Ontarians! It’s OBSCENE! #onpoli #Cndpoli 🤬🤬🤬 youtu.be/h7Wa6idZdLM?si…
