"The pursuit of greater profits cannot justify choices that systematically sacrifice jobs, because the human person is an end, not a means, and the economic order must remain subordinate to human dignity and the common good." —Pope Leo XIV

"The nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, but he has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them." ~ George Orwell

The NYT is obsessed with the fantasy that that there is a political center. That's what explains its tongue baths for Rahm Emanuel, who is NOT a contender, and who speaks for NO ONE. He is, rather, a Democrat who talks like a Republican. They love that! www.nytimes.com/2026/05/26/u...

The NYT article on prosecutors "struggling" with grand juries is a typically lame, misbegotten take that whiffs on the real news. The real news is that prosecutors are committing gross misconduct in an attempt to get grand juries to indict bullshit political cases. presswatchers.org/2026/05/pros...

Ever wonder what’s four billion light-years away? NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope recently captured a stunning view of the galaxy cluster MACS J1141.6-1905, located in the constellation Crater. A cosmic reminder of how vast and beautiful our universe really is. 🌌 #Hubble #NASA #Space 1/3

Mr Rocky had his first ever T-bone streak today. He said it was the best day of his life. It’s only 3 weeks since he came in so close to death and plenty of people said he should be put to sleep. Unbelievable scenes ❤️

Premier Danielle Smith was offered a get-out-of-jail-free card by the court, but won’t use it, David J. Climenhaga writes. thetyee.ca/Opinion/2026...

The body of another child was found under the debris. Russia killed two kids and 14 adults in #Kyiv today. It injured 57 more. I can't find words. I am aching and sorry for everyone whose lives were ruined by Russia. RIP.

I’m a broken record, but it’s facially insane that the SCOTUS’s position is that the interest of a political party—an entity with no special constitutional protection—in gerrymandering is more important than black people’s right to vote, which we have several constitutional amendments addressing

😓 18 apartments destroyed in a nine-story panel building in the Darnytskyi district, — Mayor Klitschko ‼️ The number of injured has increased to 33 people. Among them is a one-month-old baby who was poisoned by carbon monoxide.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Rather than being on the verge of a “massive energy and economic boom not seen since the early 2000s,” as Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s chief of staff wrote on social media, the industry is in the midst of the last oil boom any of us will ever see, @maxfawcett.bsky.social writes.

BREAKING! Today the UCP not only voted to circumvent the Chief Justice of Alberta, but they also voted to hide the letter the Chief Justice wrote raising concerns about the UCP's boundary process! We have the text of the letter in our new Substack! #abpoli open.substack.com/pub/thebreak...

The Russians have built a museum of "Polish Russophobia" at the site of the Katyn massacre, where Stalin murdered tens of thousands of Polish officers. This is all part of a campaign to erase the memory of Stalin's crimes, writes @elpais.com elpais.com/internaciona...

It’s been 11 days since Albertans learned their voter data was breached — and Danielle Smith remains silent. No public address. No accountability. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #VoterDataBreach #UCPCorruption #LeadershipFail

"And a referendum like the one in Alberta, that may have a divisive effect on society, is rife for amplification or for the sort of disinformation or foreign interference that we've seen from players like Russia in the past," he told host Catherine Cullen.  www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

I’m fighting misinformation online. False hantavirus claims follow a now-familiar playbook www.statnews.com/2026/05/08/h... via @statnews.com "...every outbreak now also functions as an opportunity to monetize on viral misinformation." Yep.

Hot off the press. A well referenced high quality statement from the International Hantavirus Society. High level: - Andes strain is different - some spread will occur - pandemic potential is tremendously low - lots to learn - what happens next is up to us zenodo.org/records/2007...

So… Pretty much every heavy hitter in political science academia has signed a letter calling for a public inquiry into the catastrophic data breach that continues to unfold in Alberta. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/05/07/o...
