The Liquor Control Board of Ontario is the single largest purchaser of alcohol in the world. The Premier of Ontario ordered them to stop purchasing American products. No restaurant, no grocery store, no one anywhere in Ontario, can find American booze. FAFO, MAGAts. 🇨🇦

So it goes without saying, but let's say it anyway: the concentration of attacks on trans people isn't because trans people are the only people fascists hate (although they absolutely do hate them). It's because they're the people they think non-fascists are least likely to defend.

Ok people, I know I’ve shared this before but we haven’t had quite as many responses as we hoped. If you work in the UK legal sector, in a law firm or in-house, in any role, please consider taking part. If you can help us spread the word, that would be amazing ❤️ #LawCare #LawSky #Lawyers #Wellbeing

I didn't realize until now that ABC isn't just closing down 538 they're doing it like as of today. Full stop. No more data collection. As of right now. That's fucked up. Businesses have their own realities (support genuinely independent media). But that's an extra layer of fucked up.

Men just need to advocate for themselves more! Lean in guys! Ask for that pay rise! Smile more. Be more flexible! Have you tried a power pose? Go on assertiveness training! If you think you should be paid more, maybe work harder?

So, wait. For basically ever, men were earning way more than their female counterparts, and the messaging was that women were "too emotional" or whatever. And the second women start earning more than men, men completely lose their shit and it's a "crisis" "gripping" them? What a bunch of losers.

Good night, dear friends. See you tomorrow. 📹 This is the man they attempted to humiliate in the Oval office. Zelenskyy will be remembered as a leader of resilience and honor, who stood firm in the face of his country’s darkest hours. His courage and dedication will leave a lasting mark on history.

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

The central fact about Zelenskyy is this: He is very good at killing fascists. That is why Trump and Vance despise him. They recognise the ideological enemy when they see him iandunt.substack.com/p/some-dispa...

This is so fucking depressing. Ten @nytopinion columnists rate which of Trump's actions have been most consequential so far, and his destruction of climate policy and climate science doesn't even make it on the grid. The world is insane. Clinical levels of denial everywhere.

During yesterday’s Oval Office meeting, Trump and Vance revealed to Americans and to America’s allies their alignment with Russia, and their animosity toward Ukraine in general and its president in particular. The truth is ugly, but it’s necessary to face it.

Rieckhoff: He's losing his women and children. His cities are being bombed, and we're talking about his clothes? It was victim shaming, which is what trump has been doing to Zelenskyy and Ukraine since before he got elected. It's unacceptable.
