Dear US-based democracy scholars: We (UBC political science) are hiring an endowed chair in democracy — come to Canada: politics.ubc.ca/faculty-hiri...

White Supremacist Andy Barr's campaign is bankrolled by General Motors, State Farm, JPMorgan Chase, Delta, and Microsoft.

What's the chance we'll have another pandemic, right?

Why? Because Trump is *illegally* threatening to block all federal funding if the UPMC does not comply with his bigoted wishes.

Several things to note: 1. the treatment of trans women in detention 2. "antifa" crackdown by DHS Antifa is just private citizens who are against fascism.

This is not a 1A issue. These are employees or contractors of a corporation. Is this still a problem? Yes, of course. A massive, democracy-toppling one. But it is a far larger, more systemic problem regarding corporate power & propaganda.

Just say NO to AI data centers. They will kill us all.

This is NOT the case. We have colleagues and friends who were RIF'ed and let go in 2025. Budget is THERE. Experts are GONE! www.statnews.com/2026/02/16/c...

Don't let them use this tragedy for their hateful agenda.

It didn't even take a year ... for RFK jr to bring back diseases that had been statistically eradicated through vaccination www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Especially unions!

I was on the floor of the Moscone when he gave it. Silly high school kid from the 'burbs. No idea who I was yet, barely knew who he was, but I felt his speech. Then they chose dry, safe Walter Mondale and the moment was gone. Mondale won his home state of MN, and no others. 525-13 electoral count.

When people hear "it saved my life", there’s a presumption made that we mean without it we would quite literally die. And for many of us, that's absolutely true... But for those of us who rely upon it regularly.... it means our lives are made so much better now that they actually feel worth living."

Lesser evil is still evil. This is not a difficult concept, and one would think that the complacency of the Democrats would have made it clear to all voters by now.

I would so relate to an ADHD or AuDHD vampire novel.

Would anyone be the least bit surprised if he had said it?

You have to think about who else routinely changes their names - trans people, queer couples, and immigrants. The impetus becomes clearer.

Anyone still pushing AI, you know their agenda at this point. Only the worst people push it. Only the worst.

The state of professional journalism in 2026

I realized the trans flag might be throwing some people off, so I made a version in a flag you are more familiar with.

Didn't a typical office work day used to be 9-5 including an hour for lunch? You know, like the movie from 1980? When did it creep up to 8-5?

We all agree that "prediction markets" is just old fashioned gambling on stupid things, right?

I'm not sure it's fair to present this as shocking. This is exactly what American style capitalists do. This is the basis of our economic system. Profit from need. We were built on enslaving other humans for profit. We broke away from England b/c the founders wanted more profit. This is America.

Since Cass is again making the rounds for expounding on all the ways we might make fewer trans kids, here’s a piece on how this discourse erases the lives of trans people doing extraordinary specifically because they embraced who they are. Whose rich lives wouldn’t have happened in the closet.

UK. #CoalMineCanaries

why isn't the left engaging seriously with the fascist imaginary machine, people love the fascist imaginary machine, the left is clearly wrong about this, like they were wrong about crypto and NFTs and the metaverse

It's a good question to ask anyone who says this early out to vote blue no matter who.

THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT. ...so long as it's enforced and shut down when they move in anyway.

Why wait for the SAFE act? The federal government is already building out that voter purge list.

It’s day 76 of the ICE occupation of MSP. ICE is still here - we still have vastly more agents on the ground than we did in late November. And those agents are still kidnapping our neighbors and terrorizing neighborhoods. Stay vigilant, and let’s pay rent for March 1 for everyone who needs it.

we have to do this because a dozen or so people are hoarding most of the wealth on the planet

When a Hallmark show, western Canada set When Calls the Heart, is more WOKE than everything on network TV we have a fucking problem. The show has been on the air for 13 seasons & is currently set in 1922 with a multi-racial cast & women characters of all racial backgrounds in leadership positions.

Every state and local government have so many bureaucratic tools against ICE if they would only use them. Bog them down! Block road and power connections. Make sure every electrical outlet is certified, even if that means delays. Red tag any building not up to code for habitation.

This flew under the radar, but it shouldn’t have. When senator Alex Padilla was tackled by DHS, Kristi Noem’s side piece, Corey Lewandowski, was orchestrating the situation in the hall.

Why am I so not surprise that being Bi is framed as a social contagion?

Have you ever read a post that you feel so deeply you think it might hit your resonant frequency and you'll shake apart?

"Vote Blue No Matter Who" is how we got here. Cause we're constantly forced to accept Democrats who are also pro-billionaire, pro-ICE, anti-trans, and pro-war but since they're "blue" that's automatically better than what we have. It's vote blue when the candidate actually aligns with the people.

Calling it the, "Epstein Administration" is pure genius and something we should all do when it fits the context.

Chuck Shumer is not actually useless, he's just not useful to our side in fighting fascism.

In a similar vein, the right are the first to scream about anyone interfering with how they raise their kids, yet are first in line to stop parents of trans kids from being supportive. It's like there's a pattern, or something.

We have one that fully understands door, who will lead us to door and meow until we operate door. The other one, well. She'll meow at door that's open a foot b/c she's seen the other one yell at door. Some days she won't go through door until a hooman closes and then opens door for her.

I mean, come on. Like anyone is going to think Lindsey Graham was even the slightest bit interested in underaged girls? This list is truly useless, and that was intentional.

Gavin Newsom, on trans girls and women in women's sports: "It is an issue of fairness, it's deeply unfair." And people wonder why trans people keep saying he's not the man for the job to save America.

👇 this is a very good summary of all the anti-trans positions Newsom has taken:

The only reason "AI will replace journalism" is a thing is because we're at the end of a 30 year project to turn journalism from a job where you physically had to go places, see things, talk to people, and build up knowledge of your beat, to reprinting press releases and deliberately idiotic op eds

Often lost in the discussion is the fact that even immigration infractions are civil in nature as opposed to criminal.

man its like you shouldnt fuckin rely on a machine that just makes shit up all the time.

I have yet to see AI code longer than a handful of lines that did not require reworking.

40% of 60-year-old men loose Y chromosomes, increasing to 57% of 90-year-old men. So, according to conservatives and the laws they write that posit "man" and "women" being based on chromosomes...? theconversation.com/men-lose-the...
