This is like when Russian oligarchs and, more recently, Chinese tech billionaires learned the difference between being a fantastically rich person and being in direct personal control of the state and its powers.

The Washington Post, which silenced its Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist and reduced its opinion pages to a defense of “free markets and democracy” alone, would like to lecture other people on the importance of a free and full exchange of all ideas.

Rewording my earlier post. RFK Jr will be testifying before Congress. I am interested in what experts and others think would be the best way to leverage this time and opportunity for the public good. If you were behind the dais for this hearing, what would you do? What do you want to see asked?

Carney & the Liberal govt’s new border bill is tightening immigration laws, expanding security enforcement powers & limits refugee rights. Critics say it also risks violating Charter protections. Are we following the U.S.–Trump playbook on immigration? We tackle this on This Matters @thestar.com

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

“‘If a fire occurs in the cabin, if we land on water, don’t check on the immigrants. Just make sure that you and the guards and the people that work for the government get off," one flight attendant was told. “It was as if the detainees’ lives were worthless,” said another. (Published April 2025)

The mainstream/centrist punditocracy seems to exist in an alternate universe around discussing protests where 1) BLM happened while Joe Biden was President and 2) it resulted in an electoral wipeout for Dems

Maddow: I also feel like there’s not very much about that that I don’t understand. Like, it’s the same everywhere. This is blond Berlusconi, you know what I mean? This is inarticulate Viktor Orbán, right? These guys are all the same. The authoritarian playbook is the same everywhere

Billionaires are consolidating around Cuomo because they know he will preserve the broken status quo. New Yorkers are rallying behind our campaign because they're ready for change. In two weeks, we will shock the political establishment and win a city we can all afford.

This is an incredibly stupid way to interpret what happened. Twitter was bought by a fascist with the express purpose of crippling it as a tool for movements. He tweaked let neo-Nazis back on the site, tweaked the algorithm to suppress viewpoints and threw off critics.

When I was homeless a long time ago, I was able to occasionally rent a shower at truck stops but nowadays those are only allowed for people with CDLs. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: y’all can’t complain that unhoused people smell bad if you won’t let them clean themselves anywhere.

this speaks a bit to my argument about leaving twitter. it's not about ideological purity, it is about the fact that it's been turned into a political weapon for people who wish to use it to harm others. it's not the marketplace of ideas - you do not have to participate in this project! very simple!

Last night, I reached out to Canada’s foreign affairs department, our prime minister’s office, and the French government (half of those on the Madleen are from France) to see if they’re going to do literally anything after Israel’s abduction of those aboard the Madleen. I’ll keep you all posted.

Looked to me like Israeli drones sprayed the boat with some white paint-looking substance and then the IDF surrounded it, kidnapped the people on it and cut off their communications with the world. “Diverted” doing a lot of work here
