It’s deeply disorienting to watch the media establishment advocate for leaders to be Chamberlain instead of Churchill in the face of fascists, like I guess everyone needs to stop making fun of ol’ Neville from here on out.

The best way to confront a bully about the misinformation he is spreading is to confront him in front of everyone. Macron just did that.

True story: a few years ago, I was being interviewed by a reporter for the New York Times. I mentioned the history of eviction statutes and how they tied into Jim Crow. The reporter asked "what's Jim Crow?" When I explained, the reporter didn't believe me and said the US wouldn't do that.

I've built a machine that can be Confidently Wrong. It can also make pictures that all look a bit the same, as well as make a video of you kissing any celebrity or person you know. In payment, I'd like to boil the world's oceans dry, & steal all literature. For some reason, my head is not on a spike

Ok but we had an economic union with the United States called NAFTA for 25 years, and Donald Trump demanded that we renegotiate it. And then we had an economic union with the United States called USMCA and Donald Trump's word isn't worth the paper it's printed on. So why would we trust him now...?

The Canadian government is threatening to reassess its contracts with Amazon unless the company reverses its decision to close all its warehouses in Quebec, not long after workers formed a union at one of the facilities.

These emails, sent across agencies, compel all federal employees to snitch on any colleague whose work might have some vague DEIA inflection. Those who refuse to snitch will be disciplined. Seems designed to put all workers who aren’t white men under a cloud of suspicion. Truly vile stuff.

"He's autistic" has been used for a couple of decades now to excuse reprehensible behavior from men. Hell, Gaiman used it as part of his attempt to gaslight one of his victims. DO NOT fall for this excuse, and do not slander autistic people by using or repeating it.

I would caution people to stop relying on the Constitution as written to have any meaning other than what the people Trump put on the Supreme Court says it means. "He can't do that" is not a useful response to the things he's going to do. The correct response is "Will the Court uphold that?"

Don't let Donald Trump extending the TikTok ban distract you from the fact that his Administration is about to conduct mass deportations across America in a matter of days.

The real impact of the TikTok ban is skewing the political discourse further to the right. And that is extremely dangerous. Via @taylorlorenz.bsky.social www.usermag.co/p/the-great-...
