Over the last free months Canada has upped its border security, agreed to participate in the Golden Dome, and spend 5% of GDP on defence and it basically all means nothing. No agreement will be stable or secure, even if we can eventually reach one. The new normal in Canada-US relations.

This is an assault on the Reconstruction Amendments by a Neo-Confederate Court wedded to the far-right argument that those amendments were illegitimate and destroyed the original intent of the Founders, which was to create a white man's country

Don't forget that the Supreme Court has undertaken this radical expansion of executive power and personal immunity not for some ordinary Republican but for the most corrupt president In American history. They're doing it for THIS GUY, who is guaranteed to abuse every ounce of power he's given.

I laugh when I see a company like Swift Hockey saying their sticks are affordable and yet their youth sticks alone are $129 each. Maybe I don’t know what things cost these days but when a budget stick costs that much you know there are a lot of people that can’t afford to play.

Merely confirmation of what was clearly happening. Palestinians on the ground have repeatedly described these aid distribution sites as "traps". This is what happens when armed forces steeped in racist ideology are sent on a mission of vengeance, and granted months of absolute impunity.

I like Carney. He certainly has some good & thoughtful things to say, and does all the functional things well that you would want from a leader. But the Liberal Party can cut both ways, and (regarding last reposts) without a strong voice from the left it will drift right. Especially these days.

I’ve been thinking alot about the NYC mayoral race & Mamdani (apparently so has everyone). Not only b/c his dad’s book was one I gifted to my own, or that his mom’s film on identity helped shaped mine, but because he seemingly came out of nowhere - & what lessons that has for 🇨🇦. 1/2

As Canada's Senate debates whether to give Cabinet the power to decide how and whether certain laws apply to selected projects, thinking about this from @ecojusticecanada.bsky.social's Joshua Ginsberg.

Rep. Andy Ogles -- who lied about his college major, who lied about graduate work at Dartmouth, who lied about his financial disclosures, who lied that he had been a cop, who lied he was an international sex crimes expert, and who knows what else -- is now spreading lies about other politicians too.

We've reached a point in the Upside Down where the white Christian nationalists are threatening to strip citizenship status from ethnic minorities and political opponents and claim it's FOR JEWS. These tactics have been used against Jews by fascists and authoritarians countless times in the past.

Let’s be clear that abortion can be effectively banned in this country without Congress passing a law but as a result of multiple moves that make it impossible to access. The intent of today’s Supreme Court ruling—and of Trump’s budget bill—is to shutter as many abortion clinics as possible
