You live in a country where wealth has been concentrating for 50 years and the most leftist mainstream-accepted political opinion is that we should make our tax policies resemble the mid-20th century, a time historians call "the golden age of capitalism." Shut up!

when you want something you keep putting up votes for it. and you say "those fuckers dont want it. remove those fuckers so we can get the thing." and you keep doing it. over and over. until the public gets behind it. until there's no more fuckers left. then you do the thing.

"but republicans will never vote for impeachment" is a sign you just don't understand this shit. democrats need to fucking fight for what is right. what is right is removing a criminal corrupt president and his cronies. if the gop wants to go on the record backing this, LET THEM. over and over.

As someone who was also born in the USSR, and whose family also immigrated to America when I was a child, I can confidently tell you my background makes me no more qualified than the average moron to believe that a billionaire tax will cause communism

You have people on the right calling for genocide and actively engaging in oppression of the innocent but then leftists are annoying and insufferable so it all evens out I guess.

"University bans teaching, research in general" is pretty much where the US is headed. #uspoli

I don't ever want to hear some anti trans person say they're being silenced and canceled ever again while this is going on. www.advocate.com/news/texas-t...

"Triggering the libs" is basically this administration's reason for getting up in the morning and now that the libs are triggered you're gonna shake your head somberly like it's someone else's fault? Give me a break

Trump: Whether it's fishermen or foreign leaders I simply love killing. It's easy and it's fun! Chuck Schumer (barely audible): How does this help affordability Me: I am now radicalized by The Left

If you're wondering just how out of touch Dem leaders are, well. If he wants to bring down the cost of living, stopping the guy who's causing it to skyrocket might be a priority.

Impeachment of a corrupt add criminal president is not optional, it is a duty of the office. Any Congressperson who refuses should be expelled.

This is a position that should lead to expulsion in a Democratic majority

You’re asking us to essentially help fund large private companies?! Are you out of your mind lol. These should be publicly built and publicly owned projects, not PPP’s where wealthy private interests are getting even more of our money.

It sounds like this isn't actually a sovereign wealth fund, it's a subsidy to asset managers dressed up in Norwegian clothing. But I hope I'm wrong.

A sovereign wealth fund isn't a bad idea in itself. But the intention to invest in "conventional energy" (ie. fossil fuels) is pretty bad for something that purports to be forward-looking. The future is in renewables, not fossil fuels. #ClimateCrisis #cdnpoli

I love this essay very much!!!!

Some brain-rotten economics guy I had the displeasure of sharing a ride with told me that the more people that are born, the bigger the chance someone will save our world from itself I replied that such a person has been born infinite times and died of something we could easily cure all of them

Were they tipped off by the fact that trans athletes weren't a problem for all of human history until conservatives started purchasing every major media institution in 2013 or so

The United States now has the most government restrictions on academic freedom of any high-income country. www.chemistryworld.com/news/academi... Raw data from @vdeminstitute.bsky.social —> academic-freedom-index.net/research/Aca...

I saw very little Neo Geo+ coverage this week bothering to mention the man who owns SNK, and I think that is a failing. The retro gaming scene continues to shy away from any uncomfortable realities that get in the way of nostalgic good times. It can and should be better than that

lol the shooter has a BLUE SKY ACCOUNT, well here’s one excuse that won’t work:

Don't wanna work tomorrow. Or this week in general. Just want to focus on learning Godot and porting my code over. 8)

Here comes team normalization.

Even in terms of pure rhetoric I think the story of the year is that ordinary people--many of whom weren't previously very politically engaged--are furious, while professional politicians very much aren't. Just listen to basically anyone who lives in Minneapolis for 5 minutes

Carney's appeals to nostalgia are apt, because none of his ideas are about a Canada of the future. It's all about a return to the past. Fossil fuels, big army, powerful corporations. It's all more of the same but worse. That's the Canada he's selling.

Carney is a 20th century leader. And not one of the transformational ones who took big swings to build things, one of the neoliberal late stage ones that tore society down. His vision is of a Canada that doesn't do big things, it has more soldiers and fewer of everything else.

Buy Canadian! And, yes, Guelph counts.

It's been clear for a hot minute an anti-autism diagnosis campaign is in the works but I am truly stunned they are literally just going for the Detransitioner playbook

Ah yes. The military threat from Lebanese solar PV that could not be tolerated. aje.news/4jyo2u

Disturbing: it seems the would-be assassin was radicalized by reading accurate descriptions of the president's deeds

Russia applying Israeli strategies for population replacement and ethnic cleansing in Ukraine is horrifying. This is exactly how Israel steals land: destroy, murder, replace, and then keep. kyivindependent.com/russians-buy...

Re the whole ~heated rhetoric~ stuff, Trump calls for the execution of his political enemies so often that it doesn’t even get reported as news anymore. This was two days ago.

Trump: I'm going to destroy an entire civilization. We're going to keep killing people in boats. Senator Kelly should be executed. ICE protesters are domestic terrorists. Immigrants are vermin. Raskin: Donald Trump is bad for this country. Bash: Do you regret your heated rhetoric, Rep. Raskin?

Not getting any personal projects done today it seems. Down in Niagara checking in on the partner's mom, doing stuff around her house instead. :P

Add to the fact that he flat-out cheats at the game. www.theguardian.com/sport/2019/d...

Billionaires shouldn't exist for many reasons, but perhaps chief among them is they wield tremendous power while losing the ability to empathize.

Just had to double-check, but yeah... "Donald Trump’s 110 golf trips in 14 months have cost taxpayers $100,000,000" The US is screwed up. :/ metro.co.uk/2026/03/30/d...

Trump and Elon Musk destroyed most of the global H.I.V. program that saved hundreds of thousands of lives in Zambia. Now the US is threatening to cut remaining support, unless Zambia gives access to the country’s mineral resources. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/25/h...

Yeah that didn't take long

He honestly thinks we're stupid.

I really think it’s important to underline that there was apparently no security breach. The gunman was confronted and stopped where he should have been according to the design—at the magnetometer perimeter. What this piece argues for is an *expansion* of the security perimeter in time and space.

Seems they got their marching orders 🫡 👇🏽

This is excellent. “It’s not that the wealthy become evil; it’s that their environment stops teaching them the things that nonwealthy people are forced to learn simply by living in a world that pushes back.”
