Alberta First Nations issue cease and desist order against Danielle Smith's attempt to create a national unity crisis. Alberta is on treaty lands. Those treaties were signed 30 years before Alberta became a province.

If your vote threatens someone's right to exist, then yeah I judge you based on your vote.

Anyone find it funny how when the UK releases the Cass review to ban trans care, we get everything ranging from New York Times push notifs to op-eds in every major US paper... But when Germany, Switzerland, and Austria release pro-trans youth care guidelines, not a single article anywhere but mine?

old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

In her profound and thoughtful book “Ordinary Vices”, Judith Shklar discusses political vices. One of her central themes is that we pay too much attention to hypocrisy as a political vice, and that cruelty is the worst of all political vices.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

I haven’t seen this said nearly enough. It is not charity, it is a legal obligation. What America is doing will ensure no nation ever again voluntarily gets rid of their nukes, and they have guaranteed a future where they will be used.

My whole childhood, my dad was obsessed with the third reich bc his dad fought them. I remember this, specifically scared the hell out of me. People think it won’t be their kids, their kids will not be brainwashed, and I can’t tell you how wrong that is to think. But history can.

hello cis friends this is what people mean by trans genocide if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

Feels like we all need to add as much pro-social, Mr Rogers like activity as possible just as a homeostatic response to all the ambient evil floating around right now. Anyway I just signed up to read with little kids on Wednesday mornings before work.

It is always shocking to me that anyone gives a shit what the pope thinks. Going to call up Jim Bob Duggar next and ask him for morality opinions? I know this reads like edgy atheist but they literally raped children, protected the rapists, funded the rapists move so they could do more raping.

Perhaps it is worth saying that the difference between $5M and $500B is $500B.
