The future of Ontario looms frighteningly in the atrocity of this legislation. If we sit by the consequences will be dire, but do enough care for future generations to make the waves that will be required…. open.substack.com/pub/billkell...

It’s entirely reasonable to worry that this is the US’ direction (to be fair, it has been increasingly so since Reagan): www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

We still can’t get straight answers on why ICE agents are masked and refusing to ID themselves. On top of all that they appear to be lying about cause. Congress, do you see what’s happening? Don’t be silent! Call your Senators & Reps. Demand an investigation. ☎️ Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

According to AP, the typical pay package for S&P 500 CEOs rose to $17M last year — an increase of 9.7%. At half of the companies surveyed, it would take the median worker 192 years to make what the CEO did in one year.  This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Excellent example of identifying the solution to a problem and only then finding a way to rationalize the choice. It’s a backward, foolish approach to good governance. Unfortunately, this is not an unusual approach from Ontario’s Premier. www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/arti...

Typical @maxfawcett.bsky.social essay; fact-reliant, historically knowledgeable, and fair to all. He could perhaps be criticized for not emphasizing the ignorance of the AB Premier.

Astonishing that this will shock people. It is a genocide.

I thoroughly enjoy @radiofreetom.bsky.social 's postings and writing. This is a worthy and perceptive read on the failures of this administration. I especially enjoyed the description of the current national security "team" in the penultimate paragraph. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...
