imagine drawing a crowd in the middle of the night to watch them remove your name from a building

It shouldn’t be controversial to say that the creation of a “trillionaire” represents a giant and complete failure of public policy and government.

Where is the press? “Donald Trump is in the Epstein files thousands and thousands of times. In those files, there’s highly disturbing allegations of Donald Trump raping children, of Donald Trump threatening to kill children. So I encourage the press to go look at these allegations.” Rep. Ted Lieu

Props to CNN’s chyron writer:

Michigan Governor caught on hot mic with Oracle CEO Clay Magouyrk, discussing citizen opposition to AI data centers, bragging how she ignores their concerns: “We’re used to people saying 'f*ck no,' & doing it anyway.”🇺🇸

A burning cross was discovered in Grant Park Tuesday afternoon, officials say. blockclubchi.co/49RgAMt

I've been a broken record on this for three years and I'll be a broken record for as long as that fucking website exists: X is a viciously racist far-right organising platform that ONLY WORKS because a huge number of centrists, lefties and progressivs cannot stop propping it up

The Chicks are going on tour this year. Go support them. Their shows are selling out tho so hurry.

Britain should demand the extradition of Elon Musk for incitement, prosecute him, jail him, seize any assets he has in Britain, deport him once he’s served his jail time and prohibit him from doing business in the UK until the day he dies

RIP To Victoria’s Rifflandia Festival. Had some good times over the last 18 years. One memory was watching a meteor streak across the sky when we were at @calculizer.bsky.social’s last performance with Death Cab For Cutie 💫

At the same time, Canadians pay oil and gas the very highest per capita subsidies among peer nations by an incredibly wide margin, not just the highest in the G20, but more than ten times the G20 average before Carney piled on even more. 12/ www.theenergymix.com/breaking-can...

Perfect take on Mark Carney, sadly

British Columbia Premier @davidebybc.bsky.social has invited Somali referee Omar Artan to referee in Vancouver, after he was denied entry to the US

Look how fast they took Trump’s face off the screen after the crowd erupts in boos.

Award-winning Somali referee Omar Artan, set to be the first from his country to officiate at the World Cup, was denied entry to the United States, a sports ministry official told AFP on Monday u.afp.com/SDH9

Meanwhile, in Vancouver: #pwhl #goldeneyes

So now Zuckerberg is in on destroying our country. "Facebook is paying people overseas promoting Alberta separatism." "CBC uncovers 14 accounts from India, Pakistan, Indonesia posting on popular Alberta separatist groups." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

WATCH: @andersoncooper shows video of a Trump throwing a tantrum and being a misogynistic pig towards @kaitlancollins — and other female reporters (As the rest of the press stands there and says nothing)

Humiliating to be American right now.

"When public trust is pursued through aggressive discourses about AI inevitability and imminent threats to sovereignty and prosperity, public incredulity seems a healthy response." It's the final paragraph in this long -- but worth the read -- Walrus piece.

In consultation with my attorneys, this is my official response to Trump putting me on his enemies list:

He’s turned the White House into a laundromat, just as Trump Tower was. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

One less photographer will be covering the World Cup. Official Iraq National Team photographer Talal Salah was detained for 12 hours in Chicago then denied entry. #FIFAWorldCup

PWHL Hamilton: takes everyone’s players PWHL Detroit: pisses off everyone (except relieved Frost fans) by signing Curl-Salemme PWHL Vegas: can’t seem to sign anyone (whaaaat? shocking!) PWHL San Jose: only expansion team with apparently zero expansion drama 🌊🧡💙

Dear candidates in the Toronto mayoral race…

Pay attention to who is willing to break the law for Donald Trump as we head into the midterm elections—because his end goal is to create a system where others will break the law for him. It's about building up a custom where it's normal to break the law for a person. The big case is the military.

Happy “Curl is no longer on the Minnesota Frost” day to all who celebrate.

Minnesota Frost fans

Sorry Detroit fans. As a Minnesota Frost fan .... YESSSSSSSS. Good riddance to this garbage human being.

Just glad I live where this isn't banned.

Just learned about Jade Iginla in the PWHL draft and as someone who doesn't follow NCAA hockey much I feel like Yoda has revealed to me there is another Skywalker.

In this video, I say the obvious about Trump’s proposal to increase the military budget by nearly 50%: it’s a bribe to officers and soldiers so that they will side with him when he tries to overthrow the Constitution and stay in power indefinitely. snyder.substack.com/p/trumps-mil...

Seems like a good day to note that prison workers in the US produce an estimated $11 billion worth of goods and services each year at $1/hr. In Alabama more than 500 businesses, including McDonald's, Burger King & Walmart, use prisoners as forced labor. www.business-humanrights.org/en/latest-ne...

Generative AI should not be available in schools. Tools like ChatGPT and Copilot are being put into classrooms, but they lead to worse learning outcomes and worse mental health. Sign our petition to demand a two-year pause on AI in schools in BC, Canada actionnetwork.org/petitions/pa...

Everyone needs to know Paris's air pollution story. It was just starting when I visited for my book Clearing The Air - a majorly polluted city in the 2010s. What it has achieved in just 10 years is a direct counterpoint to anyone claiming "we need cars for cities to thrives" - it's the opposite.

If you’re still on Elon Musk’s X, ask yourself this: why? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... by @jonathanliew.bsky.social "...we should start to stigmatise X usage for what it really is: a small and selfish part in making the world measurably worse."

We need to have more conversations about how to prevent physician expertise like this from causing mass harm. The most obvious move is to not let physicians be in charge. We need interdisciplinary leadership in public health. This requires calling out the harms of physician supremacy. 9/10

Let that sink in. Shame on this doctor for his lethal ignorance. Shame on UBC for letting him anywhere near students. Shame on the Globe and Mail for platforming him. For the record, large crowds gathering from all over is called population mixing and it's damned dangerous, full stop. 7/10

"The most important thing about the election is not that Trump was proclaimed the winner, but that he was allowed to run." I wrote that in 2024. I'm disgusted by those who ignore the institutional rot that enabled Trump and blame everyday voters instead. sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/the-end-of...
