Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.

This is fucking epic and actually made me burst into tears. Fight fire with fire. youtu.be/EtvKvmTIaQU?...

I think Colbert has been using music in one of the most personal ways to engage with art, which is to allow it to reflect back your own feelings in a way that clarifies them. Your circumstances are new, but—in this case—your defiant frustration mixed with exuberance is legible to other people.

It’s funny because it’s not true

The movie cost Amazon $75 million and it made $16.3 million at the box office, plummeting 67% in its second weekend after all the MAGA fans already made their pilgrimage to see it. Meanwhile, in this same interview, Bezos insists that the Washington Post must be profitable.

Trump is back to threatening Canada. He has been undermining NATO now he is turning on the North American defence agreements. Eighty-six years of cooperation and mutual support is being threatened. My latest on the intimidation coming from Washington. charlieangus.substack.com/p/the-end-of...

So the president’s personal attorney, who’s acting like the DOJ, just gave him immunity from any tax audits in perpetuity. SCOTUS gave him immunity from any act that he does while he is regime leader. What the actual fuck? Epstein files coverup is huge…

Journo asked for my take on Pu’s Beijing visit but interview slot didn’t work so here it is: It’s an annual visit— Russia has essentially become China’s junior partner and Putin has to go and pay homage to Xi. Putin has no leverage, especially because he’s looking at increasing losses in Ukraine.

"Eccentricity has always abounded when and where strength of character had abounded; and the amount of eccentricity in a society has generally been proportional to the amount of genius, mental vigor, and courage which it contained." --John Stuart Mill, born #OTD 1806

Trump announces a purge of DOJ and FBI officials deemed disloyal: We're going to seek them out. We'll get rid of them. You have scum in every agency. We will prevail.

Trump: "If we had Jesus Christ come down and count the votes, I would've won California. But it's a rigged vote."

one of my favorite facts about the US coal industry is that it employs less people than Broadway

Friendly reminder that Putin has now arrived in China for a meeting with Chairman Xi, just a few days after someone else visited him.

They attack Canada. We respond. Then they play the victim & attack again. Rinse. Repeat ad nauseam. 🙄 How I wish we could ...

what do you call it when the president steals an unfathomable amount of wealth from the treasury and then declares it illegal to investigate him

𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 - Sobeys has removed the maple leaf symbols from its store shelves, according to a CBC investigation. Those symbols helped us all find and support Canadian brands. Sobeys either supports this country or it doesn’t. Seems it’s made its choice. Now we'll make ours.

The revelation that the DOJ settled despite being provided legal defenses to fight the lawsuit is likely to fan accusations that the arrangement amounts to a corrupt giveaway of taxpayer money to the president’s allies.

CARNEY: We will be cooperating with other partners in critical areas like Ukraine, where it's outside of direct NATO responsibility but consistent with our values as Canada. We stand there, Ukraine is going to triumph, and we're going to be on the right side of history for that.

It's outrageous to have unclear, inconsistent definitions across the statute book for terms we all the understand, which is why 'child' means under 18 for voting, 16 for sex, 18 but sometimes 16 to marry, 10 or 12 or 14 or 16 depending on ~stuff~ for criminal responsibility & 17 to join the army.

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

However appalled you are by this, it’s not enough. It’s a frank statement that Trump and Trumpists are above the law and need not even plausible excuses to loot your tax dollars. It’s a total failure of our civic institutions.

A story about KY GOP Senate nominee Andy Barr: In 2019 he got mad at AOC and demanded she come to his district to visit a coal mine. She said yes, which he didn't expect, so he withdrew the invitation. Then it turned out there were no working coal mines in his district. Because he's an idiot. 1/3

Oopsie. Naval blockades won't stop a train. Part of the Belt and Road Initiative. I read somewhere that the cost to build the railway was the same as what's been spent to bomb Iran thus far. Cannot verify but seems plausible. youtu.be/anwPDivFvI0
