My main hesitation about a move (escape) to Canada has always been the weather. Now, a possible U.S. invasion is another. 😳 I agree that it is "unlikely" but that doesn't mean (anymore) that it is irrational to consider the option. 🤯

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

Sparklers shooting foot-long flames, a ceiling covered in flammable foam and a crowded basement with a narrow staircase exit are some of the avoidable hazards that fire experts, witnesses and an analysis of visual evidence suggest turned a festive bar in a Swiss Alpine resort into a deadly disaster.

Juan Orlando Hernández, a former president of Honduras, helped orchestrate a decades-long scheme that prosecutors said brought more than 500 tons of cocaine into the U.S. He was convicted in a sweeping case last year, but President Trump said on Friday that he would pardon Hernandez.

The US is extorting Zelenskyy to sign away territory Russia doesn't even hold, as well as Ukraine's ability to defend itself, on the basis of Putin's word he'll honor a peace and Trump's word the US will make him. Just so we're clear what's happening here.

It’s rather rare for US media to report on Switzerland. But after the tariff deal (from 39 to 15%), they’re outspoken: „How to lobby Trump with Swiss precision: gifts, gold, gab“ Domestically, however, the govt member from the far-right who was responsible for the negotiations is being celebrated

there's definitely an essay in this, about how this entire generation of right wingers have spent their entire career smashing the drywall and kicking the legs out from under polite society, seemingly so sheltered that they honestly never considered that it might end up affecting them too

During the P-T extinction, 96% of all species perished (99% of all marine species). During the K-T, about 75%. Discussed at length in "Our Fragile Moment" (see excerpt in @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...). Extinction is irreversible. So the question is, "do you feel lucky?".

Of course the U.S. is not the first country to sleepwalk into authoritarianism, but the speed with which it does, and with which most of both the elites and masses collaborate or simply accept it, is truly stunning.

stating the obvious but if the democrats damaged the white house to build a gaudy oligarch dance room (in the middle of a government shutdown hurting people's livelihoods, no less) it would be a two month relentless news cycle this story won't survive past Tuesday afternoon
