I'm not sure why my cats decided this year to be murderous jerks, but parts of my garden are in protective custody now ... 😆

This is how we do it. More sports teams, more influencers, more celebrities and musicians need to be using their platforms and massive wealth to fight the cruelty of ICE.

Just an appreciation post for Jacob being on the scene. In the absence of this reporting it would have been he-said/she-said. The sheriffs attacked peaceful protestors including kids with flashbangs, tear gas, and rubber bullets. We need more peaceful protest and more documentation on the ground.

This. What are we doing Mayors and Governors, allowing masked men who won't identify themselves to snatch people off the street, out of hospitals, from their work, from their homes and schools? Why are we tolerating this?

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

The weird mix of bits of uniforms, backward baseball caps and jeans reminds me of the PJ O’Rourke account of the Balkan civil war: The least dangerous people are the ones in uniform. The people wearing bits of uniform are more dangerous. The most dangerous people are the ones in track suits

Over and over again Trump tells us that he thinks the Nazis were the good guys in the story.

No. Hells to the no. Some things you just can't trust to a profit-driven environment. Governments run postal services so that remote communities can be served, even at a financial loss. It's service, not a business. It's supposed to cost money, not make money.

A great reminder that science is powerful, and a threat to authoritarians, because it’s a toolbox (admittedly imperfect) for identifying truth

The cops are defunding your communities and some of you get furious at abolitionists who have been pointing this out for decades.

There should be a GLOBAL response to this. The completely avoidable 2008 crash caused by U.S. banks was a GLOBAL crash, and the global community expected the U.S. to put in place (and KEEP in place) rules that would keep it from happening again. Removing such guardrails should have consequences.

It's amazing how normalized hospital acquired infections have become. We don't even expect infection prevention and control to be able to get the job done anymore.

We should not parse words. The Trump administration is engaged in a slave trade.

Many respirators available in Canada are certified by NIOSH and automatically approved by Health Canada. Manufacturers may have to look at certifying under CSA Z94.4.1:21 for the North American standard.

“…this morning, from a war zone half a world away, I was reading about your election. And for the first time in days, I exhaled. A small, almost invisible breath. Relief. And then came gratitude… You didn’t just choose kindness or experience… You chose not to flirt with fascism.” From Ukraine.

We all have a say in how true this is. No matter how hard it seems, keep fighting every day to make it wrong.

I’m often surprised at how people want to dismiss the role of media and info environment, and use class as an explanation for politics. Marx was smart and forward-thinking. But too many today are still locked in his class-first analysis. We need more information-first analysis.

An underrated driver of all the reactionary nonsense of the last decade: wealthy tech bosses deciding that their workers have become too uppity. That's a big reason the elite class didn't celebrate Biden's full-employment economy -- they don't like empowered workers! www.wsj.com/tech/tech-ca...

I'm sorry but people really have to stop pretending that individuals being mean to other individuals "causes" fascism. NO. Oppressors have oppress marginalized people AS A KEY COMPONENT OF FASCISM. There's just a lot of confusion in the land and we need clarity.

The face of the Conservative party: vote for our candidate or we will break up the country. Poilievre's closer pitch really sucks. Preston Manning and his quislings can either respect Canadian democracy or move to the US. www.ctvnews.ca/federal-elec...

This is what happens when you let extremists and fanatics get a foot in the door - they try to grab it all. "And I think the church is called to be the authoritative word over the land and carry authority so that when we speak, the world listens and the world obeys." We do NOT want this in Canada.
