“Social media was supposed to be a democratising force. But social platforms have given a handful of individuals more control over public discourse than any media executives in history. A few oligarchs now control what billions of people see, hear &read” giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

I keep thinking about statements like these. I suspect a significant portion of ICE—perhaps most of it—believes Vance / Miller / et al that they have total legal immunity for anything they do. This is (1) not true as a matter of law and (2) a lie intended to incite the violence we've seen from ICE.

A point I remember making online about 25 years ago, in response to a rather pollyannaish defence of factual history by Richard Evans. Amazing how painful it is, to be so right, for so long.

another way to headline this article: Musk continues to hoard wealth by buying government sycophants who will grant his companies massive contracts at the expense, health and freedom of the American people

Quick reminder: Albertans are dying in emergency department waiting rooms and hallways, after waiting in excess of 12 hours for treatment. But this is fine, I guess. #ableg #cdnpoli

The pundit class can't seem to grasp the concept, THERE IS NO NEGOTIATING or "help" as he put it. To be had. You cannot, and should not. Deal with any of Trumps goons. Especially Vance. He's just as bad ffs. #cdnpoli

Much of Canada's "left-of-centre" was assimilated into Libs in 2025. The NDP and Greens were endorsing Carney very early on, while excluding socialist candidates. Substantial disagreement is necessary at this time, Canada needs a paradigm shift.

Paywalled so I can’t read the article which surely reads “psych!! just kidding! we would never!”

To be faaaaaaair Trump’s bone spurs were there for him when he needed them.

There are a lot of things wrong with this video, but I don’t understand how the head of US Customs and Border Patrol doesn’t have more important things to do than hang out in a park and throw gas cans at protesters

"Join my peace club"

“Nazis are, to the last man, fucking cowards.”

This is the best campaign content I've ever seen come from the #ndp, or any party in Canada frankly #cdnpoli

I regret B.C.’s decision to end its decriminalization pilot and am disappointed the province has not released an independent evaluation. When governments change course on life-and-death issues, Canadians deserve to see the evidence. See more 👇

It’s fun to watch when left Democratic elected are called “the Democrats” and when they’re called “the Left.” When they take capital-friendly positions, suddenly they’re “the Democrats.” When they worry about about climate change or data centers? Oh then they’re “the left.” 😂

Cory Doctorow thinks Evan Solomon, Canada's Minister of AI-everything, might not know what he's doing, and that the tech sector needs to be regulated in the public interest. www.hilltimes.com/story/2026/0...

A homicide in a camp where members of politically disfavored ethnic groups are concentrated.

#DOGE was a front for a lot of things. Many of which I’d bet have to do with those YEARS of phone calls with #Putin that #Elon #Musk was investigated for once upon a time. #Trump #Krasnov #Epstein #Kompromat “Destroy us from within, without firing a shot.” These assholes helped #Russia do that.

You want him to bugger off. So do I. But his bizarre performance here doesn't reflect poorly on us; it makes the people who sent him look *really* dumb. They have no idea what ambassadors do. Imagine Canada held a potluck and America brought a bowl full of fresh urinal pucks. That's Pete Hoekstra.

That song only white supremacists seem to even know about that DHS used in a post? Turns out its by--wait for it--white supremacists.

Quisling chart

BREAKING: DHS said Geraldo Lunas Campos, 55, died in ICE custody, after "being in distress". But leaked audio from the coroner says it will be ruled a HOMICIDE by guards choking him. Another murder, another cover up. Don't let them do it quietly.

People really reacting to this without all the details. I am sure there are good and legitimate reasons why President Trump is taking the oil revenue ransom he extorted from Venezuela and is putting into a Middle Eastern bank account that Congress cannot control.

The moment he’s been waiting for…

Legault used bigotry to maintain his political power. He used separatism to insult the Feds. He is no better or worse than Doug Ford, Dani Smith, or Scott Moe. They're all grifters. None of them respect our nation, or our freedoms.

Somebody had to say it: doubling down on fossil fuels while the global energy transition continues (Trump can't stop it) is like investing in Blockbuster just as Netflix arrived. Great stuff here from UBC's @mk49.bsky.social & David Boyd: calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu... #cdnecon

Carbon offsets are modern indulgences. We demand 'transparency' not to fix the climate, but to buy a more convincing ghost story. We want to audit the phantoms we paid to absolve our industrial sins, instead of stopping the sin itself. It is the meticulous, pointless audit of a ghost.

I know this isn't the first time. But it remains jarring that the White House is just casually and knowingly referencing a neo-Nazi text.

Brown shirts doing their thing.

It’s unfortunate that all of the dialogue/opposition to BC north coast pipeline centres on oil tanker risk, spills etc. but nothing focused on climate impacts, expanding fossil fuels in climate crisis. #bcpoli #cdnpoli

they're shooting us in the face, ted

FBI raiding reporters homes at request of the Pentagon sounds completely legit and not at all like the USA has turned into an authoritarian state. I’m proud of the folks who realize what’s happening and are speaking out. I am ashamed of the cowards & fools that are complacent.

Right so if some manufactures and distributes CSAM and revenge porn, the position is that that is not a crime as long as you stop a month later? Does that apply to non-billionaires or is it billionaire-only?

Global #wildfire trends are the ultimate reminder that we are crossing dangerous thresholds for our natural life support systems. Prov & fed govs risk an unlivable future by allowing #fossilfuel extraction & #oldgrowth logging to continue #bcpoli #cdnpoli #climate www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

Bless this Ford worker who called Trump a pedophile protector to his face.

Too Weak. #BanX & work to protect people not Nazi pedofiles & felonious 'business' relationships. #CdnPoli #AI #EvanIsIncompetent

This should be headline news. LNG can't claim the credit, it was the enormous amount of renewables China installed last year - enough to power all of Canada. And oil will be next to fall, with over half of vehicles sold in China now EVs. Canada needs a new export strategy. #bcpoli #cdnpoli

Canada must rethink its stance. It's time to show the world that Canada is not playing when it comes to protecting their vulnerable. Let's AT LEAST start by banning Grok, and getting off of X. The only thing that's on X is hate. Canada please do better. #cdnpoli #toxicapps #elonmusk #harmfulnhateful

if any other site contained a child sexual assault image generator the government would ban the site and prosecute the owner(s). these ppl are cowards and we should get rid of them at the earlier opportunity.

I'm deeply frustrated by the negative reaction to my craven click-bait shittiness

Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world, I feel like I can't take it, and my heart is just going to cave in

We are far past the stage of permissiveness with white-supremacist violence inside DHS. We are witnessing ICE transition into a death squad. This cannot be reformed. The only question is who will fight to abolish it, and who will accommodate it instead.

"Regretable and insensitive" is like 99.9% of Sun content tho.

Imagine if governments put this much effort into expanding clean energy- the climate crisis would have been solved by now. Too bad burning down our planet is profitable. #cdnpoli #abpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

when america finally rounds up the orange limp dick and his goons, they should put them in a criminal zoo. people could travel from all over to point and mock, buy eggs to throw, etc. put the proceeds back into the government for schooling or low-income housing, wherever it's needed. maybe merch!

Ken Klippenstein managing to do more actual journalism with a Substack, a Signal account, and not much else than the entire staff of the NYT and WaPo put together is incredibly depressing
