The sheer galactic racism of Stephen Miller, which is powering so much of this stuff, is almost hard to comprehend. He’s so unbelievably, madly racist. He really is the kind of man who could put death camps into practice.

As some NIMBY opposition to NYC’s IBX project heats up, some are claiming it just duplicates the G train. As @shabazzstuart.bsky.social notes, it’s not really the same thing, at all…

📣 OK, as promised, here's my *deeper* dive into how 14 states have instituted #ACA pricing policy which will *dramatically* mitigate the expiring tax credits for a significant portion of enrollees...IF enrollees take advantage of it: acasignups.net/25/11/11/the...

I work for an organization called The Vigilance Project; we log news stories about *actual* groomers into a database. Our profile pic is a bronze statue of Justice. It's bait for people with white marble statue profile pics...who get horrified that all the perps are Christian White Dudes.

This is your occasional reminder that provinces have the ability to raise their own revenues to fund the services in their fucking jurisdictions, but we have normalized letting them cry poor and blaming the federal government.

These are the same people who say Muslim countries want to implement Sharia law. However they want to do a Christian version. Asylum seekers fleeing persecution should avoid the US.

Great piece by Zadie Smith. When the right talks about classics or "Western" culture, these works are only important to the extent that it demonstrates their superiority, they have no interest in art in and of itself beyond that www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The letter the BBC could send back to Trump #USpol open.substack.com/pub/emptycit...

The Conservatives did everything the wrong way in handling d’Entremont’s floor-crossing — handing opponents a win, and reinforcing the leader’s worst public image: mean, brutish, short-sighted.” — Tim Powers, former adviser to Conservative political leaders. #cdnpoli #NeverPP #CPC

NEW: ProPublica examined months of Fox News’ coverage and reviewed over 700 videos posted on social media. The network used five-year-old footage, mislabeled other dates and implied footage from elsewhere was in Portland.

Another sign that the United States of America no longer represents, and is no longer trusted by, the free world. www.cnn.com/2025/11/11/p...

When people fall for #DougFord’s expensively coached con jobs, they need to know the reality of Ford’s mishandling of Ontario, his wealthy real estate backers writing policy that exclusively benefits themselves and why there is unnecessary poverty in such a wealthy province. #Onpoli #cdnpoli

A further motive for suing the BBC?

Nothing. Absolutely NOTHING. In America is sacred anymore. #cdnpoli

This is great piece by Nadir Jeevanjee (NOAA GFDL) that summarizes five of the fundamental and accurate model-based climate predictions made by Suki Manabe and colleagues at GFDL over the past half century+. 🧪⚒️ theconversation.com/5-forecasts-...

Reminder to myself:

Trump’s Solicitor General: “The tariffs don’t raise revenue.” Trump: “They raised trillions!” Reality: Americans are the ones paying the bill. Republicans are selling delusion; Democrats are offering arithmetic.

"House Democrats on Wednesday released emails in which Jeffrey Epstein wrote that President Trump had “spent hours at my house” with one of Epstein’s victims, among other messages that suggested that the convicted sex offender believed Mr. Trump knew more about his abuse than he has acknowledged."

All too real, I fear. And it may be continuing elsewhere now.

There are two more stories still being coloured. I'll post some more art once they're wrapped.

When we talk about antisemitism in America, we almost exclusively discuss it in relation to Israel, and thus to the left. That has only started to change as Nick Fuentes has become more openly embraced by people like Tucker Carlson. But we still aren't at the point of facing the enormity of it.

Just like accusing the left of supporting "groomers" and being anti-free speech, the accusations the right makes of the left being antisemitic are largely either projection or purposeful misdirection. And unfortunately, it has worked. Liberals & the left have trouble seeing it on the right.

I wrote a piece a few weeks ago claiming antisemitism was on the verge of going mainstream. It was clear to me that most people had trouble buying it. That's understandable. But it's happening. Example: Conservatives themselves are now saying that 30 to 40% of Zoomers in Washington are Groypers.
