I'm not the first to say it, but: police & military are the hearts and minds we need to persuade.

This, over and over again: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

@tps.ca Question: on Dupont around Christie this morning there is road construction going on -- fenced off by pylons declaring "Police Emergency". Real emergency?

Every Trump supporter needs to hear these words: Americans and Canadians fought side by side in WWII *against* leaders like Trump. And we won.

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

I’m generally quite fond of @viarailcanada.bsky.social But it’s 2025. How is wifi on the train still so bad? Is it some sort of insurmountable technological problem?

Now, more than ever, we need political leaders who are willing to champion the truth. We can't let lies and spin win. My take: thewalrus.ca/poilievre-co... via @thewalrus.ca

I honestly think a big part of the problem is that not enough Americans are paying attention.

When you’re spotted walking down the street with your eight year-old, and you start a sentence with the phrase “Going forward…” you might well have spent too long working in a corporate context

If you have any identifiable connection to Pete Hegseth - same college, same dentist, same bartender- then you should now assume that several nations' intelligence services are spending huge resources to plant spyware on your phone, personally. You should assume they will succeed.

"The Last of Us" star Pedro Pascal is exactly right: You can't claim to stand for freedom while tearing it away from others 🤷

We are at the point where if I read a headline that says, “Trump installs new puppy torture wing on the White House” I legit wouldn’t be all that surprised. Totally tracks.

Dear Canada & Mexico: You have no reason whatsoever to help the United States out, but it would be EPIC if you cut off diplomatic ties with El Salvador in response to their very obvious human rights abuses. It would certainly sting Trump and Bukele both, if the rest of the world called them

The Trump regime is now using US Attorneys to intimidate academic journals by sending them letters demanding they explain how they ensure ‘viewpoint diversity.’ Journal editors should be public about this and coordinate to refuse to comply with these fascist tactics.

I can't watch an episode of Season 2 of The Handmaid's Tale without thinking that JD Vance would see himself as one of the 'heroic' Commanders.

So how many *white* criminals/terrorists did Trump send to El Salvador this week? Just asking.

Someone recently asked me -- as an ethicist -- about the ethics of something Trump did. The problem with Trump is that just about everything he does is so OBVIOUSLY wrong -- it feels redundant to try to use one's expertise to point it out.

"What Mr. Poilievre really wants is an unassailably popular test case for the first federal use of the notwithstanding clause, with which to accelerate the project begun at the provincial level – of normalizing the clause, and eviscerating the Charter." www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Currently reading @mark-carney.bsky.social 's book, "Value(s)." It's terrific. I don't agree with every word (duh!) but it's nuanced and smart, and sensible. And it was written BEFORE he ran for office, so we have all the more reason to value it. @markcarneyforpm.bsky.social
