the scotus tariff case is going to be interesting because we'll finally learn if the supreme court is more beholden to its authoritarian backers or its corporate benefactors

Do you use Spotify Premium? Cancel your subscription until Spotify stops running ICE ads. There are other streaming options that donβt profit from exploiting artists while recruiting for ICE:

I listened to the Reagan speech the Ontario government quoted, and no honest person could claim it was taken out of context. But what interested me more was the next clip that autoplayed, where he connects the American founding to the rejection of tariffs. π₯π₯π₯

Historic deal has begun for Europe, Sweden and Ukraine have signed a letter of intent to buy 100-150 JAS 39 Gripen E jets for the Ukrainian Air Force. Once the funds and delivery structure is established the deal can be brought to fruition. This will help Europe wean from US registries and ware.

The "drill, baby, drill" slogan belies the relatively small role of *all* mining, quarrying, O&G extraction activities in the Canadian economy. It's hugely capital intensive (only 1.2% of all jobs) but rip, strip and ship activities contribute just 5.1% to GDP... not even in the top 10 sectors.

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened. This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

this is one of the problem with ideologies which rationalize the routine use of violence: you think you are attracting where violence is the means and the ideology is the ends. you are actually attracting people for whom the violence is the ends and the ideology is the means.
