Know what would be great counterprotesting on Thursday when Kash wants a perp walk? Adelita Grijalva and some Epstein survivors talking about the lengths Trump is going to cover up the Epstein files.

On this day in 1911, Mary Two-Axe Earley was born in Kahnawake, Quebec. For two decades, she fought to remove gender-discrimination in the Indian Act. Learn more in my Deep Dive 👇 canadaehx.com/2021/09/11/m...

I am just so fucking proud of her.

Taylor Swift is a business genius.

this fucking business

Mario Guevara, an Emmy-award winning reporter, was deported to El Salvador — a nation he fled more than two decades ago. He was arrested while covering a protest of the Trump administration in a case that has alarmed free speech groups.

What an utter disgrace. Noem's actions to "vacate" Secretary Mayorkas' grant of TPS over the direct command in the statute that no early termination can be done was flagrantly unlawful. And yet the majority offers not a SINGLE word of explanation for why they think she could do that. Shameless!

Rule of the internet: if they can use the information you provide to dell you stuff, they will.

Due to southwest and west winds, significant smoke is expected to be pushed into communities east of the Lake George wildfire tonight.

BREAKING: Judge Subramanian announces he will sentence Sean “Diddy” Combs to 50 months in federal prison (~4 years) for transporting women and male escorts across the U.S. to engage in morbidly relentless sexual performances marred by violence and drug use for more than a decade.

Final 🧵 Combs ⬇️ Time is up. Judge begins sentencing remarks.

NEW: Judge Crenshaw finds that the Trump admin's criminal prosecution of Kilmar Abrego Garcia may well be vindictive—and greenlights discovery and an evidentiary hearing. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

1. This is one of the most insane statements ever delivered by a presidential spokesperson in U.S. history. Totally disconnected from reality. 2. There is either going to be a civil war or abject Democratic surrender to autocracy. They are telling this you, to your face, in explicit terms.

Obviously, this is loser shit, but I think AI has really cemented itself as the visual language of fascism. It's anti-human, flattened, uninteresting, and cheap. It's like looking at a Potemkin Village and thinking that's the same as architecture.

Other countries are finding such neat ways to modernize their postal services. I wish the Canadian government would take note.

Stephen Miller told police they are now “unleashed.”

really seems like @govpritzker.illinois.gov is talking out of both sides of his mouth. either step in or stop pretending.

Coverage of Mario's case needs to give the context of *where* he's being deported to. At least 40 journos have fled El Salvador in 2025. There were 789 attacks against the press in 2024. @elfaro.net moved its offices to Costa Rica in 2023. We don't know what will happen to Mario in ES.

Gov. Pritzker has said all the right things, but now he needs to act and get these state troopers out of there.

Imagine being involved in the planning or executing something called "Operation Freaky Friday" to target minors with threats to them and their parents.

I get a lot of stuff wrong but my early call on all of this was that it's simply wrong to engage in this as an argument over congestion policy. I said on the podcast that it is, instead, an argument over who has the right to public space — and the Premier has decided the allocation.

As the fox runs slavering through the henhouse, some leading foxologists express doubts about aspects of its approach to indiscriminate hen-murder.

“Every right wing accusation is a confession” is the theory that should be elevated to a law. The hypothesis has never been refuted.

Killing journalists is killing the truth. If we accept that reporters die in Gaza, we pave the way for other regimes to consider the murder of journalists a normal instrument of war, by @abellanger.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... via @ifjglobal.bsky.social #journalism

One driver had been granted asylum and another has a pending asylum case.

18:12: The Lake George wildfire remains out of control, currently estimated at 245 ha. There are no reports of structural damage at this time. Efforts to construct fire breaks around the perimeter are ongoing. Three additional contracted helicopters arrived today and will begin operations tomorrow.

FYI if anyone is displaced by the Lake George (Kings Co) fire -- evacuation order was expanded again this morning. Victory Doggy Daycare & Boarding (in Coldbrook) is offering free spots for those in need. My own pups used to attend there in years past. Can recommend. 🐕🔥👍

Huge opportunity for a progressive politician to come out and promise real, strict rules on sports better. (No advertising, for sure. No apps could work.) Inviting the ire of the lecherous sports betting companies would probably be a good profile-building exercise.

Seven years ago today, Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi was tortured, murdered and then dismembered. And any so-called comedian who can't stand up tonight in Riyadh and do ten minutes on that kind of hijinx and horseplay just isn't worth the Saudi blood money he's being paid.

I was told on here recently that we would just have to get used to sports betting and honestly i dont think thats true

I’m at Foley Square for the Journalism is not a Crime rally. A very funny dynamic is that this rally is to support us but we can’t help but be in coverage mode. (The support means the world.)

RIP Jane Goodall, who inspired so many people to appreciate, understand, and protect animals and the environments in which they live.

I had the gift of truly incredible English teachers in high school, including American expat Mr Ted Wholey who made sure we had a deep understanding of Orwell. It helped prepare me for life far more than one would hope.

The people at this ostrich farm are the same gang that opposed M-103, co-opted yellow vests, push UN / WEF conspiracies, opposed lockdowns, face masks and vaccines, occupied Ottawa, harassed people at drag story time events etc It’s all the same far-right influencers and content creators every time

The Prospect has obtained through a state FOIA request thousands of pages of documents related to a little-known investigation of Jeffrey Epstein by the New Mexico attorney general in 2019, related to his 8,000-acre Zorro Ranch near Stanley, NM that he bought from a former governor.

We also celebrate the beginning of Mi’kmaq History Month! This year's theme, A’tukwemk aq A’tukowinu’k – Storytelling and Storytellers, is a special chance to learn about and experience the power of stories in Mi'kmaw culture. We are all Treaty People.

Treaty Day marks an important opportunity to recommit to the Peace and Friendship Treaties that form the foundation of the nation-to-nation relationship of everyone living in our province.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

The thing about oilsands companies is that over the past decade they have focused on cutting as many jobs as possible in the name of efficiency while paying as little as possible for the pollution they cause.

Spent the last decade reading conservative blogs use the word "Orwellian" more than they used the word "the" and now they're literally just saying "War is Peace" out loud in front of everybody.

I have never seen such a blistering rebuke of a President by a federal judge. He is telling us clearly to stand up for our liberty against a dictator. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
