Canada announced today it's supportive of efforts to artificially keep oil prices down. Oil prices rising is one of the only major levers creating pressure on Trump to stop the war. So, we're kinda already participating.

A cartoon by Ron Cobb (1975), showing a shadow of US B-52 bomber above cratered landscape. Two people who look like Vietnamese peasants look up; one says “they’re having problems with their economy again.”
This is from 1975.
This is clearly fine with the GOP.
As good a storytelling troubadour as we have around right now, Corb Lund introduces a whole cast of characters on El Viejo — aging fighters ("Out On A Win"), card sharps ("The Cardplayers," "When The Game Gets Hot"), soldiers in World War I ("Insha'Allah"), and of course, Lund himself, experimenting with edibles to ill effect, among other misadventures ("Old Familiar Drunken Feeling"). Lund wears the heavy role of singer-songwriter with welcome levity, blending more serious lyrics with self-deprecating ones. "I had it all and pissed it away," he sings on the song of the same title — but it's fun and catchy instead of overly dour. What put this loose, offbeat album over the top, though, was the release of its recent deluxe edition, which includes a song called "Police State": "I got me a badge, got me a gun/ Someday I'm gonna get to shoot someone," he sings in the potent and perfect protest song. —Natalie Weiner

I am always glad to see Black women being centered in our own stories about the workforce and the workplace.
One thing I want to note is that across multiple sectors, the net employment loss Black women have experienced is closer to 216,000 from 2024-2025 according to @epi.org.

Maybe the oil execs should drink it to show how safe it is.
"“I don’t care how many times they treat that contaminated water — it’s going to end up here,” said Alice Martin, a Mikisew Cree elder with feathery gray bangs who was pleading with others to help make a plan to fight the oil companies."
I love that Trump's toadies are wearing comically large shoes because the boss bought them and they're too chickenshit to mention that he guessed the wrong size.
In '07, we were working at PetroCanada (now Suncor) refinery, about a half mile from the flare. About 2pm it started burning something big off and we could literally feel the radiant heat, even though we were 20' off the ground, and the top of that stack is about 200'.

Their internal polling must be in the shitter because they're pivoting back to trans panic.
these weird dorks are always talking about what's in children's pants, seems sus
"Cuba is failing because of socialism," not because of nearly 70 years of embargoes, sanctions, and now an illegal American military blockade of any oil entering the country.
bringing up "children" and "Donald Trump" in the same sentence isn't even the weirdest part of his response
Correction: “This is what *morning looked like in Tehran.”
WH press secretary Karoline Leavitt tells Fox News that a military draft is on the table.
That's an electric cart. Alternative energy. And the caddie has work, maybe even a tip if he's on his toes. You libtards ruin everything good.
Her trip to Ireland was ruined by this one question?? Gee, I wonder why…
Personally, I think the presence of a pedophile makes the transfer less dignified, but maybe that’s just me
100' up on a structure at the refinery today in Edmonton and this wind is no fucking joke.
It was wrong and harmful - and quite possibly unlawful - to cut already approved NEH grants because Donald Trump hates "DEI."
But the way DOGE went about doing it was even dumber than you probably imagined.
They fed abstracts into ChatGPT and demanded an answer in fewer than 120 characters.

He has been attacking Allies all year, belittled their past war efforts, and did not engage in coalition building before the war. Then he whines when other sovereign countries refuse to join an ill-defined war.
I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.
