"Fearing another coup, Traore is now cracking down on any form of opposition or perceived threat to an extent never seen in Burkina Faso." This one, by Tangi Bihan, is worth a read for anyone interested in what's going on in the Sahel.

Bannon is "peak r*tard," wrote Elon Musk.

Phang: There’s a Texas Tribune article that reveals that the Trump administration knew the vast majority of the 238 Venezuelan immigrants sent to CECOT in mid-March had not been convicted of crimes in the U.S.—even though the administration wanted to label them as terrorists before deporting them.

A small archipelago near the Caribbean wants to join Canada? @markcarney.bsky.social There was talk in the Paul Martin days of adding a Caribbean country to Canada but it went nowhere. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3J0m...

Great article on how a German court has ruled that private companies can be held liable for their share in causing climate damages. It's the polluter pays principle, and as such should be a no-brainer. But the fossil fuel industry has so far thought to be exempt. theconversation.com/one-lawsuit-...

Didn’t realize this was a prophecy.

We must sustain the ocean that sustains us. Climate change, pollution, overexploitation, and geopolitical tensions continue to pose a threat to our ocean, and we need to step up efforts to protect it. A unified approach is essential for success. 🧵1/3

Liberalizing trade within Canada has long been a challenge. But recent moves by governments right across Canada are making big improvements, led by Atlantic Canada. My new report with PPF explores some the potential gains: ppforum.ca/policy-spea... #cdnecon #cdnpoli

From @nytopinion.nytimes.com “Too many Christians are transforming Christianity into a vertical faith, one that focuses on your personal relationship with God at the expense of the horizontal relationship you have with your neighbors,” writes our columnist David French.

Just gonna leave this here...

The Florida Bar has filed misconduct charges against Attorney General Pam Bondi. She has been in violation of multiple ethics rules since being sworn in.

Multiple Republican members of the House admitted they "didn't know" part of what was in the House spending bill, according to a NOTUS report.

Remember: If unions didn’t matter, powerful corporations wouldn’t spend millions of dollars every year to stop workers from organizing. Keep up the fight.

Ah, the golden age.

We need details on this.

As I predicted, we are now entering an era where we cannot necessarily trust data coming from the federal govt on things like inflation. Something to watch VERY closely for GDP, unemployment, everything. www.wsj.com/economy/cpi-...

Trump is banning people from 19 countries after the Boulder attack… but not the country the attacker came from (Egypt). Same broken logic as the 2017 Muslim ban.

Companies that spinelessly follow Trump's cuts to DEI will pay a heavy price | Miriam González Durántez

WATCH: “It's totally unconscionable,” says Sen. Bernie Sanders on the GOP bill that would kick 11 million Americans off health care. “And to do that in order to give massive tax breaks to people today on the top—who have never ever had it so good—is beyond cruel.”

Alex Hemingway: Under threat from a volatile United States, Canada needs to chart its own path to a more self-reliant, just and equitable economy. We can’t afford austerity or cuts. Or to let the super-rich call the shots on economic and social policy. #uspoli #cdnpoli

A recent study found that for every $1 invested in the National Weather Service, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Not only is the NWS a life-saving government resource, it's actually quite efficient.

Privatisation has been theft on a grand scale. Renationalise everything without any compensation.

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

"In 'real' tribalism Carol’s friends would vote Democrat for the rest of their lives. Instead, we have symbolic tribalism, in which the fate of the literal member of their tribe is of secondary importance to the perceived solidarity with the hosts of Fox."

There's obviously a direct line from the Abu Ghraib and GITMO photos to Kristi Noem doing photo ops at CECOT. But I can't help but think we're living in the online world that ISIS created. From radicalization to the violence of the snuff videos, everything that was once shocking is now mainstream.

Promoting bad development by allowing the easy destruction of our last patches of nature is wrong. It is not necessary for dealing with the real need for housing and infrastructures.

Fascinating account of trying to find normalcy between the two Trump presidencies by Sarah Kendzior, one of our most astute observers on how authoritarianism is strangling our democracy. This is at always free, and ad-free, DCREPORT. www.dcreport.org/2025/06/04/l...

The Medicaid cuts proposed by the GOP are awful on their own. But they could also reduce economic activity — resulting in a loss of 850,000 jobs across the country in both the healthcare industry and beyond. All for tax cuts that will mostly benefit the richest Americans.

It's been over 20 years since this clip from Michael Moore's 'Fahrenheit 9/11,' and members of Congress still aren't reading bills before voting for them.

Donald Trump was up in the wee hours of the morning and fired off three posts on Truth Social that included complaining about having to deal with China and then attacking former President Joe Biden.
