America is not Russia and any comparisons risk going too far. But for those of us who reported there, Trump’s Washington is bringing back memories of Putin’s Moscow in the early days. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/u...

In this complex world, science is safety. Dismantle science - eliminate vaccines and environmental protections, ignore the overheating of the Earth - and we stand to lose everything

The strongest rebuke of Trump’s 51st state rhetoric from a Canadian sports figure comes from the American coach of our men’s national soccer team. www.tsn.ca/soccer/jesse...

In the White House briefing room Tuesday, the Trump administration announced its latest steps to tighten its grip on the message it sends out and the news coverage it receives. By @davidfolkenflik.bsky.social

In a seemingly AI-generated video that the president posted on social media, images of destruction due to the war in Gaza are transformed into a glitzy resort called "TRUMP GAZA."

WTAF??

Brave to @jeffstein.bsky.social, WaPo's chief economics correspondent, for not wasting any time in stating what must be stated. Hopefully the first of many.

More than 20 civil service employees are resigning from Elon Musk’s DOGE, saying they refuse to “dismantle critical public services.”

Operatives working for Elon Musk’s DOGE appear to be editing the code of AutoRIF—software designed by the Defense Department that could assist in mass firings of federal workers, sources tell WIRED.

Here is my latest on Putin's man in Washington. This is not about making America "great again" it is about leaving America isolated and undermined on the world stage. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Back to the earthquakes the recent felt earthquakes in southwest British Columbia are not so unusual. 1245 earthquakes (mostly offshore or smaller) have occurred in this region during the past year. The latest felt earthquakes don't tell us that a larger earthquake is more likely (or less likely) ⚒️🧪

Since Jan 6 our world has turned upside down. Canada is under threat like never before. There are still 8 months left in this parliament. We can put aside our fights and come together for Canada. These are my thoughts on how normal politics is no more. charlieangus.substack.com/p/no-return-...

NEW: An email sent to several US agencies this evening—including those handling classified work—demands workers send 5 accomplishments from the past week. “The memo…closely resembles a note Musk sent to Twitter staff in June 2023” @zoeschiffer.bsky.social has the scoop: www.wired.com/story/doge-e...

This is how you do it. Other news agencies like Axios and CBS, stop rolling over! Grow a spine, stand up straight and fight!
