The talks signal fresh support from European allies. But they follow stalled U.S. negotiations in Miami and comments from President Trump's son suggesting Washington is ready to pull back. n.pr/4oHEI8L

Referendums don’t override the constitution, and provinces can’t unilaterally rewrite the federation. Lessons some provincial governments clearly skipped in junior high social studies. And yet, in certain corners of Alberta, judicial review is now being painted as tyranny.

When longstanding border disputes erupt into five days of combat that kill dozens, the international community cannot shrug and pretend this is an equal struggle between equal actors. Our responsibility is to look at facts, not framing.

Mark Kelly: "They are not silencing me. I'm still speaking out. I still am going to do my job every single day regardless of whether this president wants to kill me, hang me, execute me, or shut me up. I'm not gonna shut up."

The mainstream media press corps needs to stand together against Trump’s misogyny & sexism. It also needs to collectively push back when the Orange Turd refuses to answer questions.

JUST IN: Mike Johnson plans to swear in Rep.-elect Matt Van Epps on Thursday — less than two days after he won the TN-07 special election. As a reminder, it took Johnson 50 days to swear in Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva.

Negotiation is not peace. It is surrender disguised as diplomacy. And when it comes to Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine, surrender is precisely what the Kremlin seeks.

When Washington slaps tariffs, Ottawa has two choices: fold to lobbyists or stand with workers. Prime Minister Carney’s subsidies aren’t handouts—they’re shields.

What Netanyahu is trying to do isn’t just legally dubious — it’s democratically corrosive. A sitting prime minister, indicted on corruption charges, asking the president to wipe the slate clean while still in office? That’s not normal. That’s not democratic accountability.

The NDP’s entire purpose — literally its founding mission — was to be the institutional voice of labour, the poor, renters, young people, and anyone the market screws over. If it becomes “Liberals with better manners,” the constituency it was built to defend will be politically homeless.

These efforts are vital to ensuring that biosecurity and biosafety systems are in place to support emergency responses when the need arises, leveraging CEPI’s existing networks of R&D and manufacturing partnerships to build resilience.

This isn’t about geography. It’s about power — who holds it, who hoards it, and who’s trying to weaponize nostalgia to get it back. The North doesn’t need restoring. It needs reckoning.

christ almighty what is this guy doing www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Not a base, they say. Just a compound. Just a few jets. Just a few pilots. But let’s ask the obvious: Why is a foreign government funding infrastructure inside an American military installation?

The law is clear. Only under the narrow conditions of Article 110 — piracy, the slave trade, unauthorized broadcasting, statelessness, or fraudulent flag — may a warship board a foreign vessel without consent. None of these apply to Conscience.

Canadians are told our government is “monitoring the situation.” Monitoring? That’s what you do with a storm, not with citizens unlawfully detained by an army that acts with impunity.

Mark Carney can talk all he wants about “rules-based order,” but silence when Canadians are unlawfully detained is not diplomacy — it’s dereliction. You don’t “calibrate” when your citizens are sitting in a jail cell in a country accused of war crimes. You speak. You demand. You act.

I continue to just respect the hell out of this guy

A classroom should not be a battlefield. Education is not infiltration. Teachers are not groomers. CRT is not indoctrination. Gender studies is not subversion. And philosophy is not dangerous. This is how authoritarianism creeps in. Not with tanks. With terminology.

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time. Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense. 🧵

When state agents mock the pain of children, we are no longer debating immigration policy—we are witnessing the collapse of moral order.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

They are 🐑 every single one of them.

Free Greta Thunberg and the rest of the illegally detained flotilla activists.

This was not on the 2025 bingo card 😒

We all know at least one asshole who didn’t vote for either presidential candidate. What do you think the real reason was for them? Not necessarily the reason they gave you, but the real reason.

Meiselas: So if this 17 trillion he keeps talking about exists, what account is it in? Did he steal the 17 trillion? Subramanyam: I’d love to see his math on that. I’d love to know why it’s not being returned to the American people if that’s the case.

Unity Point hospital has spent millions on union busting consultants rather than providing nurses with fair wages and safe working conditions. It's wrong and it's bad for patients. I'm proud to stand with these nurses and Teamsters Local 90 as they fight for what's fair.

I’m supposed to believe both that trained and paid journalists couldn’t see through Project 2025 spin but also they’re the people best positioned to tell me what’s happening and how I should feel. Why? They failed at their jobs by their own admission.

According to eyewitnesses, armed ICE agents dragged kids out of their beds in the middle of the night, zip tied them and put them in rented vans while raiding an * entire apartment building* on the South Side of Chicago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOXO...

Hard to tell the real illegal militia from the fake illegal militia

Franklin said: ‘A Republic, if you can keep it.’ Uh, well, America lost it. 🇺🇸💔

I've covered race for two decades. I knew the 2nd Trump Admin would be dangerous for civil rights. Yet the collapse of the federal civil rights architecture and national will to address racial inequality and work on integration is stunning. Here's my latest. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/27/m...

In case it wasn’t clear, the anti-DEI crusade has never been about merit. Zero news experience. Never been a reporter. Elevated to Editor in Chief of CBS News, one of the most storied news institutions in the nation. www.mediaite.com/media/news/p...

It is a scary time in 2025 to be anything other than straight, white, and prefererably a man.

This is a classic case of counting doses as diseases. It’s not just wrong—it’s designed to sound scary. Calling it a ‘legal case’ is like calling a YouTube rant a Supreme Court brief. It’s rhetoric, not litigation.

Q: “How did the White House decide that it is appropriate for Jared Kushner to be working on matters that involve Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia? Leavitt: “I think it’s frankly despicable that you’re trying to suggest that it’s inappropriate.”

It’s a bad look.

Such a fucking loser!

This is not just wrong — it’s dangerously misleading. The facts are right here: in 2024, Canada reported 1,343 hate crimes motivated by religion. Of those, 920 — nearly 70% — targeted Jewish Canadians. Just 61 targeted Catholics. #news

Conservatives keep yelling that bail reform made Canada unsafe. But the numbers don’t lie: Canada’s Crime Severity Index in 2023 was lower than under Harper. Violent crime is still below 2009 peaks. Homicides are down. Police say the real issue is repeat offenders — not bail. #cdnpoli

Erasing history.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

Democracy is not a guarantee. It is a gamble—one that trusts strangers to shape each other’s futures. It is messy, slow, and often cruel. But it is also the only system that allows its own critics to speak freely, organize publicly, and win power peacefully.

Honestly. Alberta’s new legislation isn’t about protecting rights — it’s about inflating egos. Danielle Smith is trying to crown Alberta supreme over Ottawa, international law, and even reality itself.

Conservatives are not leaders. They linger for the sake of quick soundbites, turning governance into a performance. When in power, they do little beyond cutting services, handing tax breaks to the wealthiest, scapegoating the middle class, and turning their backs on low-income families and seniors.

Negotiations have stalled. Trump keeps changing his policies. Ukrainians, backed by Europeans, are taking matters into their own hands, by targeting the Russian oil industry: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
