one curious feature of our particular dismal political era: some people have gotten so addicted to the particular vice signaling around empathy / concern for other people that they seem to see evidence that something will benefit others as evidence that it will harm them

What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

Tucker Carlson is now repeating unfounded allegations that weapons sent to Ukraine are ending up with groups that include Hamas. The Hamas claim originated from a fake BBC-Bellingcat video created by a Russian disinformation campaign mimicking news organisations and was debunked months ago.

You can tell antivaxxers don’t actually care about children because a child died and these sickos are using it as an excuse to share juice recipes and promote their supplements. There’s more aluminum in a cup of carrot juice than in the two-dose MMR series. And carrot juice doesn’t prevent measles.

I wish more people understood that the anti-trans and anti-vaccine movements are deeply intertwined, and by allowing bigotry and conspiracies to supersede medical and scientific knowledge on the subject of trans healthcare, mainstream press paved the way for anti-vaccine rhetoric to flourish.

Your regular reminder the British Library remains unable to give access to the vast majority of its priceless & irreplaceable digital collection nearly 18 months after the cyberattack. And it suits our politicians & media to look the other way even as they spout nonsense about UK prowess in tech.

First, they said postponed; now the meeting is canceled. That means no flu shots next year. “'It’s a six-month production cycle,' Dr. Offit said. 'So one can only assume that we’re not picking flu strains this year.'" Fundamentally, that's a form of mass murder. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/u...

Pierre Poilievre named politician most likely to sell out Canada to Trump

How Elon Musk planned for DOGE: Our investigation found that he raised the idea in 2023, becoming fixated on gaining insider access to federal systems. By Dec., he chose USDS as a landing place, and future DOGE members began applying for jobs there. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/u...

Folks who think Poilievre would be smirking like Vance or shouting insulting questions like MTG's reporter boyfriend are imagining that Trump would position him in the in-group. No. Trump wants Canada in Ukraine's role. And just like Russia had puppets in Kyiv, Trump envisions puppets in Ottawa.

My latest: "The more often we have experienced true helplessness, the more likely we are to feel powerless in situations where action is possible. And the more we freeze or flail in response to threats, the more deeply ingrained those responses become."

We absolutely are doing things. Lawsuits, walkouts, protests, intimidating ICE just by watching them, spray-painting cybertrucks with swastikas (which honestly is just funny). But it can feel like it's not working. The firehose of monkeyshit just won't stop. Don't get fooled into giving up.

I know the “revoke Elon’s Canadian citizenship” movement fires up all the populist nerves which are legit raw right now but an approach that cuts off public funding for his companies is both more effective and sidesteps the ethical issues of whether a mob should decide who is a citizen

As an offshoot of this thread, let’s talk about what happens if federal, state, or local officials text, email, call, or show up at your door wanting to talk to you about what you said about the President. I have a theme, a thesis, a throughline, a leitmotif, which is SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH. /1

You think footage of Trump and Vance yelling at Zelensky and telling him to be thankful isn't gonna move the needle for them? well one needle it's moving is the stock market, which was rallying until the minute the video was released when all of the indexes turned down and erased the gains LMAO

How are we still getting articles like this? The "close cousin" of COVID that the Wuhan lab possessed wasn't particularly close! There's still no evidence that the lab had the virus it allegedly leaked.

not to pull the "i wrote a book about online activism" card but i did in fact write a book about online activism and biographical impact--making people feel like political activism is a thing they can do--is really important and a key purpose served by otherwise "low impact" actions

I got some controversial thoughts. I'm sure you're shocked and astonished. This one day boycott? Sure. I'm in. Do I think it'll do much? No. Do I think it's worth doing anyway? Yes. Why? Because people who don't usually are starting to think about what they can do. I'm not gonna rain on that.

There is certainly a debate to be had about Canadian supply management, and once upon a time, about allowing more US dairy. But when their cattle are infected with bird flu and they just gutted the USDA and FDA? Feels like a non-starter. www.realagriculture.com/2025/02/u-s-...
