Admittedly "how do you feel about Trump's threat to invade", is better than "a polite conversation about what being forcibly invaded by a hostile power wouldmean to you"

@ianhanomansing.bsky.social & the CBC: Who is making you think this is the most responsible way to address a threat to Canada’s existence as we know it? Why are you not instead doing a show on the reality of what that might mean and all the reasons we DON’T want to be 51? My dudes 🤦🏼‍♀️.

Again: tech journalism is meeting this moment in a way the mainstream establishment newspapers and cable channels just aren’t. I can’t emphasize enough what a big deal this is.

"Many workers say they live in a constant state of fear, unable to trust their colleagues... reflexively engaging in self-censorship ... One team that works on issues related to climate change has gone so far as to seal itself off in a completely technology-sanitized room for in-person meetings."

another great example along with Wired and Teen Vogue of how real journalism these days can be a lot braver at outlets where no one is trying to get in good with the White House press secretary they’re out here with us, reporting on what’s happening to us all, instead of trying to get inside access

NEW: The Energy Department tried to spin its DOGE-directed firing of nuclear-safety officials as affecting just non-critical staff. But this wasn’t close to true. In fact, one of the officials locked out of his work accounts was the top authority for all nuclear-safety matters in the agency.

If Russia hasn’t been able to occupy more than 19% of Ukraine since 2014, how can it defeat NATO or seize Europe? It’s impossible. Their plans are failing, their army is weakening. It’s time to stop Moscow in Ukraine. Ukraine’s victory is Europe’s security. The time to act is NOW

⚡️US threatens to shut off Starlink if Ukraine won't sign minerals deal, sources tell Reuters. The U.S. first raised the prospect of shutting off Starlink after Zelensky rejected the deal presented on Feb. 12. Starlink terminals are critical in securing Ukraine's battlefield communications.

I think the most wrong I have ever been as a political scientist was when I said in a public forum in 2020 that there would not be political violence in the US (Jan 6 was 2 mos later). Tonight’s purges are a clear precursor to more future such violence. This is textbook authoritarian abuse stuff.

A good time to write to your MPs and reinforce that Canada's Starlink contract can, and should, be cancelled with just 30 days notice. Our own constellation of telesats, built by a Quebec aerospace company, begins launching next year.

If you're in a foreign country, you can no longer treat Starlink as a private service. Any dependence on Starlink by your people or government will be leveraged against you by the Trump Administration. The only solution is to do away with it and find an alternative.

Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position. www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

Very much like the Iraq War, somehow "I thought Elon Musk was a genius until a couple years ago" is now considered the more respectable and serious opinion than "I knew he was a fraud for a decade and was never fooled by him."

btw, i will tell you this - i have been talking to people all day, and the media is missing, whether intentionally or not, how absolutely, volcanically angry the people who have been fired are, not because they lost their jobs, but because their jobs matter, to us

submitted 16 hours ago • 55 comments

This is key to understanding the building outrage & backlash that extends way beyond the hurt of those fired. Firing people for no reason is brutal & loathsome but the even larger overall offense is wiping out all the fired people’s jobs with them, all the purposes & needs & value those jobs serve.

This is very, very bad. Am working on a write-up, but let’s just say that firing military leaders for blatantly political reasons is wildly inappropriate; firing all the too lawyers is ominous; firing them all at the same time is a terrifying five-alarm fire

Really enjoying the stories about congressmen getting yelled at about DOGE shit in their town halls. Not because I feel like it's necessarily going to move things in the right direction in the next election cycle or two, really. I just like stories about congressmen getting yelled at I think.

As others have mentioned, the framing is the problem. But the scope is also way too imprecise. Because a legitimate answer to the question, as posed, is "indefinite guerilla warfare" and, uh, I doubt Ian and the CBC really wants to go THERE.
