Canadians will vote tomorrow in the most emotional election since 1988. I have my own preference. But I note: no one doubts that the vote will be free and fair - or that the loser will peacefully accept the voters' decision. That may not sound much. It's more than others have.

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

One thing that most people are missing in the group text scandal: The Trump officials don’t appear clear on what exactly Trump approved, which is a huge problem in using military force. Stephen Miller says “as I heard it … green light.” 😱😬 www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/six-short-...

What you have to understand about Pete Hegseth copying and pasting war plans into Signal is that it almost certainly means he’s got classified documents on his personal UNSECURE devices. Signal isn't on a secure device...are our war plans on his personal devices? @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social

This is a real Truth Social post from Trump sharing a screenshot of an Elon Musk tweet. So if you were wondering, this is what they’ve decided to go with regarding today’s debacle🙃

Trump is using the Alien Enemies Act to deport any immigrant he chooses And his lawyers claim nobody can even question his decisions Since this law was used to put Americans in concentration camps in WW2 And Trump claims he can apply it with absolute impunity This is a particularly chilling post

What a gift to be in community today. There was such diversity of backgrounds and perspectives, but we all stood strong in our shared values. And what an incredible honor to be lead by my amazing priest in this moment for justice. #freespeech #immigrantrights #knowyourrights

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

You’ve heard of dictators “disappearing” persons with legal status in their countries because the tyrant disagreed with their political views It looks like that’s perilously close to what is starting to happen here

Congress was denied entry to both the U.S. Department of Education and the Treasury, where Musk staffers blocked the doors. Along with its appropriations responsibilities, Congress holds oversight authority over federal agencies. Blocking congressional access to these agencies is illegal.

Last night, President Biden signed the Social Security Fairness Act, the biggest expansion of Social Security in decades and a huge win for teachers, firefighters, and cops! Next up we expand benefits for everyone and pay for it by making the ultra-wealthy pay the same rate as the rest of us.

Exactly. SCOTUS created a “tails I win, heads you lose” environment. Flipping coins earlier, or flipping more of them, is a fool’s errand in that situation. But we didn’t know that was the situation until the immunity ruling.

Millionaires and billionaires would be perfectly FINE not getting salary for 33 days, or even 333 days. The average American, folks like you and me working paycheck to paycheck, would not. Do NOT let billionaires make decisions for US. PASS IT ON.

When they talk about privatizing Veterans’ care and Medicare, they mean allowing companies to provide healthcare for a profit. But how do companies make those profits? By denying care to many who need it. Don’t get fooled by the “privatization” label. It means “for profit” and YOU are the cost.

Racial/class privilege was as much the villain as anything else. Ariana’s take on Glinda was fascinating: she showed the limits of kindness and of superficial allyship when not backed by action and self-sacrifice, and understood how manipulative someone will be to maintain status. Loved it!
