TULSI GABBARD?

In the wake of the 5th Estate documentary about the political operatives attacking Valleyview, Alberta's library, local residents turned up for tonight's 5 pm town council meeting. It's a fully packed house. The outcry on social media over the weekend has turned into real action.

"Unemployment rate isn't so bad if you don't count the jobless people."

I dedicated years of my life to reporting on January 6 and exposing what happened. I was there that day, co-wrote a book, and published a series of major stories on my own, for Rolling Stone, and for TPM. I hope it mattered. I hope history will remember and understand what happened.

Just incredible things from the VLC folks

Trump unable to pursue military invasion of Canada due to bone spurs

Oh sure, if only President Harry S. Truman had just waited for society to "debate it out" instead of signing Execuntive Order 9981 on July 26, 1948 to end racial segregation in the military, American society would be so better off today. Says no one ever.

400,000 more people rode the NYC subways in a single day and it was barely noticeable. the equivalent population of Tampa piled into transit and it was a blip. almost like transit is a more efficient mode of conveyance than automobiles

Vader knows what's up.

Jimmy Carter, a visionary on ending fossil fuels, put solar panels on the White House. Big Oil-backed Ronald Reagan ousted Carter in 1980 and ripped them out Tonight, as Carter lies in in state in the Capitol, a climate-fueled wildfire is destroying Reagan's former hometown of Pacific Palisades

Paris urban biking DOUBLED in just one year. “Cycling in Paris has transcended mere trendiness; it’s become a fundamental aspect of the city’s identity. Despite challenges like inclement weather, cyclists continue to flock to the streets, setting new records and reshaping the urban landscape.”

No matter what happens with the Canadian Federal election, one thing will be true — a significant % of Canadian voters & media will have been successfully manipulated to oppose a beneficial carbon pricing approach that was either revenue-neutral or financially beneficial to almost all Canadians…1/2

UNFUN FACT: The is the first incoming Congress to have fewer woman than the one before it.

Me agreeing to circle back in the new year: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!! Me when they circle back in the new year: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

🤯 Damascus, Syria tonight. 2025 will be the first year free of Assad tyranny since 1971 — more than half a century.

Time zones are fascinating. Australia is already in 2025, Europe is still 2024, and the USA is currently in 1939.

for the potato fears not death

There’s plenty to criticize with this government but it’s hard to take the “F🇨🇦CK TRUDEAU” crowd seriously given that so many of them are foaming at the mouth bigots.

Just going to leave this here.

Me, a public health person, just sitting over here reflecting on the fact that the US has experienced a 7% increase in infant mortality post-Dobbs. Like, do you realize what that says about this society from an ethical perspective? That we made policy choices that caused this? #PHEthx

F-150s can't spend money. And with payments *starting* at $800/mth @ 7% APR - it's gonna be hard for their owners to spend locally either.

Paris definitely wasn’t always this way. This is very recent. It wasn’t magic. It just took vision and leadership. Your city could choose leadership too. Great pic via @JBPssx
