Most of Ontario is done counting, and Pierre Poilievre (leader of the Conservatives, the one who vowed to "end woke" if he won) is still behind by over 4% in his own incumbent riding.

The straight line from screaming "Hope you die of AIDS!" on the Stanford campus in the name of making a point about how people need to face rough-and-tumble discourse to flouncing out of the billionaires groupchat for a more private one because someone suggested Donald Trump isn't doing the best job

Not a single international cargo ship at the Port of Seattle. The port is dead. The last ship from China will dock at a West coast port on the 29th, and the last Chinese ship will dock on the East coast around May 10th. After that, there will be no more shipments arriving from China. We’re screwed.

This feels a lot like that early period of Covid when some people were shouting about how bad it was going to be while guys like Trump and Musk were predicting it would be over by April.

Sen. Kennedy: "I don't think President Trump has defied any federal orders. I don't know what these judges expect the federal government to do. Bukele has said he's not returning Mr. Garcia. Mr. Garcia is not coming back to the United States. Ever."

How about the US stop paying El Salvador to imprison people grabbed in the US and rendered to El Salvador without due process? That’d be an easily doable first step. Sen. Kennedy must know this. So he’s lying to the American people in order to help violate both rights and explicit court orders.

Listen I'm no lawyer but generally speaking Lawyers love when you talk about your criminal court cases before they're over. They love when you post about things you're accused of doing as an admission and love when you post about your defense to score brownie points on twitter.

The President said of the U.S. economy: "We are a department store, and we set the price. I meet with the companies, and then I set a fair price, what I consider to be a fair price, and they can pay it, or they don't have to pay it." And then... I lost it.

Funny how folks like to say that humanities degrees are “useless” while the world is being actively destroyed by people not knowing about history, ethics, media literacy, or how to think critically. But sure, tell me again how STEM alone will save us.

I have gotten confirmation from sources inside the Coast Guard that this is in fact true and happened in Key West. ICE went into military housing and took the spouse of a USCG member who is currently out to sea.

Reminder that words matter. You can’t “deport” a US citizen. You might be kidnapping, disappearing, exiling, expelling, illegally removing, etc., but you’re not “deporting” a US citizen.

It's still pretty wild that the Administration has announced its intention to overturn a hundred and fifty years of law and strip citizenship from tens of millions of people and the main controversy over this has been legal academics complaining that people got mad at them for supporting it.

i think you cannot understand how capitalists in the tech industry got their brains broken in a very specifics way without grasping that in terms of popular visions of how the future could be different that could be enacted, The Californian Ideology has had almost no competitors

there is I think a reasonably straightforward rule that the closer you are to an election, the more you should take the electorate's issue positions as a fixed material fact to be managed and the further you are away from one, the more you should think about shaping the eventual issue environment

this is why that "weak and woke" framing is so noxious. it's a statement that the party's own values are effeminate and that it would be weak to stand by them. a total moral inversion.

Extremely real. A lot of chaos right now, but one thing to know is even giant automakers right now do not know how much tariffs they owe on the cars they are bringing in. And if they get it wrong (ie bureaucrats reinterpret the rules in future) they have to pay up

Really need journalists to push back on this bullshit. When they say this, just ask them point blank: "Are you saying that because one Latino man committed a murder, another Latino man deserves a life sentence? Do you think all Latino men interchangeable?"

It's funny how when you ask them why they think Pope Francis was "too woke" and request specific examples, they always wound up describing Christ's teachings without a hint of self-awareness.

this is basically my thinking too at this point; the PRC is much more insulated from this than the US is, and Xi is basically going to wait until there's so much blood here that trump either unilaterally backs down or has the US offer the PRC everything & the kitchen sink to get a "deal"
