Trump promised to end the war in 24 hours. He lied. Again.

A military judge on Friday threw out the confession that a man accused of conspiring in the Sept. 11 attacks made to federal agents in 2007 at Guantánamo Bay, ruling the statements were the product of a campaign of torture and isolation carried out by the CIA.

If I light your house on fire and then douse the flames halfway through it burning down, I shouldn’t be praised for my firefighting skills

Great interview on @majorityreport.bsky.social today @equalityalec.bsky.social. @emmavigeland.bsky.social @mattlech.bsky.social. Canada has very similar problems. Our mainstream news just print police press releases, no questions, no pushback.

We found the voter fraud!!!!!

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.  You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

My partner froze this and then fell over laughing.

NEW: British lawyers representing Hamas just filed a legal case challenging its UK designation as a terror group. They charge the UK is aiding the Gaza genocide, undermining the right to armed resistance & stifling debate in the UK about Hamas’s aims and actions. www.dropsitenews.com/p/hamas-terr...

The construction industry has developed a series of schemes to deny workers pay and benefits, while shielding everyone up the contracting chain. Infuriating piece from @sarahlazare.bsky.social and @workdaymagazine.bsky.social: prospect.org/labor/2025-0...

Ok what’s going on here? Yields are going up which means bond prices are going down. Fewer buyers of the world’s safest asset. Normally when the economy slows, there’s a flight to safety, not away from it. Means the world may be abandoning America. We are flirting with a true crisis.

I will keep repeating myself until it becomes accepted fact in The Discourse: Elon Musk is a eugenicist and has repeatedly demonstrated this with what he has said and what he has done

A lot of freedumb convoy supporters show this hypocrisy. They threaten to run over or lock up environmental protestors or first nations' protestors. #cdnpoli #pierrepoilievre #election #canada #freedumb #convoy

But hey at least trans kids might be more afraid to go to school now

Both Tamara Lich & Chris Barber were members of the secret group chat, despite bail conditions ordering they have no contact with each other I asked a criminal lawyer if this could represent a breach of their bail conditions – the lawyer said it could: “There’s definitely grounds to lay a charge”

Trump just pardoned crypto firm BitMex for violating money laundering laws — making him potentially the first president in American history to pardon a corporation. It's truly a new Golden Age for corporate crime.

I was so happy to have @js-tan.bsky.social back on the show to discuss what he saw at Microsoft and the wider ties between tech and the oil industry that too often get ignored. Once again, the tech companies are not our friends.

It really needs to be the goal of every democracy to destroy X by any legal and regulatory means necessary

Israel has killed at least 62 Palestinians today alone in Gaza. 37 of them were killed in Gaza City, according to medical sources speaking to Al Jazeera Arabic. The death toll continues to rise.

Great interview on @majorityreport.bsky.social with @emmavigeland.bsky.social and @mattlech.bsky.social today @parismarx.com #tesla #byd #politics #news #podcast ##cdnpoli

SCOOP: YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy. "YouTube quietly removing ‘gender identity and expression’ from its list of protected groups is a major radical shift away from best practices in the field of trust and safety."

So @ctvnewsottawa.bsky.social @ctvnews-rss.bsky.social you stop doing proper journalism and cancel @rachelgilmore.bsky.social because you get pushback from from a bunch of weirdos and dweebs? Seriously?

uh oh

Of course

The RCMP are the most organized and well funded paramilitary terrorist gang in Canada. They regularly beat and kill Indigenous people with impunity and get protection from any consequences. Their crimes are well documented and they need to be abolished www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TtE...

I've been speaking with Palestinian negotiators on the ceasefire/exchange of captives deal framework. It is very clear that the narrative being promoted by the US and Israel that everyone is waiting for Hamas to accept the deal is false. There is an ongoing back and forth.
