Great video explains how the US became SO corrupt and the avenues to undermine the toxic effects of Citizens United. youtu.be/YRyS1goUc5s?...

Sane intelligent discussion about the threats to Canada. But it lasts 30 minutes and doesn't have any kittens so it will be universally ignored in the age of Tiktok. youtu.be/IWtpGVGu51A?...

The problems with indigenous reconciliation: 1. The law is framed in principles almost nobody understands and few in the public would agree with if they did understand them. 2. So governments refuse to discuss issues honestly, leaving the public in the dark. vancouversun.com/opinion/colu...

“The Netherlands has curtailed intelligence co-operation with the US over fears the Trump administration could use it to violate human rights or assist Russia.” on.ft.com/47mhAGl

This is likely to end badly. If people fear they'll lose their homes to indigenous land claims, we'll have wall-to-wall MAGA-style governments in Canada. www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

There is nothing in the world - not a religion, not a political ideology, not a game, not a sport, not a technology - that can't be completely corrupted by throwing enough money at it.

Every time Trump talks to Putin, he starts repeating Russian talking points. www.ft.com/content/7960...

Pathetic.

@sarahkendzior.bsky.social is a contemporary sage. Read her story of how the Uzbek government imagined a "terrorist" organization and used it as an excuse to squash protest; and how similar this is to antifa now. sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/inventing-...

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

they blame immigrants so you don’t blame billionaires

When reality reads like satire. "They say they're referring to me as a king. I'm not a king," Trump said in a Fox News interview that aired Friday, before he departed for a $1 million-per-plate MAGA Inc. super PAC fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago. www.cbc.ca/news/world/n...

The US is embroiled in a "Stockholm Syndrome" relationship with Trump and this explains why almost all the best analysis is coming from outside the country. Vlad is brilliant and deserves a fat larger audience than he has. youtu.be/OVmzpnmjg1E?...

Turn off your Face ID and Touch ID if you are taking your phones to the protests. Keep it in airplane mode and use encrypted apps where possible. Protect yourself. #3E #NoKings #50501Movement #indivisible #wearetheflood

We must continue demanding complete transparency for survivors. Release the files, subpoena them all, hold public hearings. Enough.

The best politician in the US right now.

The more people show up at tomorrow's protest, the less likely it will be the last protest allowed in the US.

If Trump succeeds in forcing automakers to move production to the US, he will hasten the demise of the US auto industry. Canada will drop the tariffs on Chinese cars and we will be driving cheap high quality Chinese EVs instead of expensive American cars. globalnews.ca/news/1147890...

@chrisworswick.bsky.social I heard you on CBCs The Current. Thanks, man. All we need right now is some guy in an ivory tower announce to Trump that we're going to give up without a fight. Oh, and we're going to be Singapore.

Reading Thiel, Yarvin, Peterson et al. makes you realise what passes for intellectual iconoclasm these days is all absolute bollocks. Why anyone gives any of these people the time of day let alone credibility is baffling.

Banana republic corruption, American style.

Peter Thiel is a poster child for wealth taxes. He thinks Greta Thunberg is an anti-Christ legionnaire and world organizations like the United Nations hasten the apocalypse. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I think we've hit peak clickbait.

This guy could go a long way. This is the type of moral clarity needed in this moment.

The origins of the term "ANTIFA" go back to at least 1932. So, when Stephen Miller claims they have the girlfriend of ANTIFA's founder, I can only assume she's dating a 120 year old man. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifa_...

It badly sullied the reputation of the Nobel committee when they gave Barrack "Drone Strike" Obama the peace prize. Hopefully, the current award and more like it will restore that reputation.

There's nothing inherently wrong with conspiracy theories - it's conspiracy beliefs that are problematic. The odds that the official story on Epstein is correct and complete is very low - less than 25% IMV. But the odds that some Youtube rando has the truth are vanishingly small. Demand answers.

Ardent Trumpists believe he is some kind of agent or forbear of a benevolent world transformation, political, economic or mystical. Since nothing is impossible, I asked 3 AI engines to assign a probability to this being true. Co-Pilot - 0.5% Google AI - refused ChatGPT - 1 in 10M - 100M

Here come the recriminations.

Netanyahu chose to have the hostages held longer or killed by Hamas or Israeli bombing. The destruction of Gaza was never about October 7 or the people held in captivity. Hamas attempted multiple times to hand them over or produce a ceasefire it was Netanyahu that turned it down every time.

‘Shameless’: How the Alberta Next Panel Blamed Immigrants Divisive scapegoating, including showing a slanted video, fits the populist playbook. #cdnpoli thetyee.ca/News/2025/10...

An under-reported story in Canada is how Alberta has lagged the federal govt and other provinces in requiring corporations to report beneficial owners. This is critical to fighting money laundering and central to Trump's complaints about cartels controlling Canada.
