The College Republicans of America have named Kai Schwemmer as the organization's political director. Schwemmer is an avowed and overt supporter of racist antisemitic white nationalist Nick Fuentes. www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwat...

Starting to think there might be a reason that previous administrations tried very hard to avoid war with Iran

That really captures the essence of MAGA: A movement at war with the reality of American life and a large portion of the population.

And it also points to one of the regime’s key weaknesses: They have fully bought into their own white nationalist propaganda.

Again, Dhanraj appears to be complaining that he had to work in the existing heirarchy of a newsroom

10.03.2026 16:51 πŸ‘ 26 πŸ” 1 πŸ’¬ 3 πŸ“Œ 0

Dhanraj is now reading anonymous allegations about people unhappy within the CBC, with no context, no proof, nothing. And he just alleged that David Cochrane was racist. This is a farce.

Honest Reporting Canada is now testifying, which is ... one way to look at the state of media coverage in Canada

Mamdani Chooses His Words Carefully After Alleged Terror Attack

Is the premise of this story that the mayor should make lighthearted video content about an ongoing criminal investigation www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...

He seems to be alleging they were, an incredibly shocking thing to happen in any workplace, especially if you don't seem to follow established internal protocols

The risk for babies who get measles under the age of 6 months to develop this within 10 years is 1 in 600.

Travis Dhanraj appears to be testifying that the CBC had chief political correspondents who got to be senior political correspondents, and that he more or less kept trying to ignore that internal heirarchy in order to do a job they didn't seem to think he had, from what I can tell

Every day of life under Trump is waking up to a headline like, β€œWyoming is missing”

This dead-eyed cretin is effectively illiterate, but if anyone ever pressed Donald Trump or Elon Musk like this in an interview, they would sound exactly the same

But also, look at how radicalized these people are. It becomes almost room temperature, but the American right is frothing mad

"AI will let us turn PhDs from 4 year degrees into 6 month degrees!"

Literally shitting on the part that makes it intellectual development. It requires things like *reading* for yourself and *writing* for yourself. Those aren't chores, they're part of skills acquisition and critical development.

Not gonna link to the rage-bait Kevin Roose slopaganda "which is better, human or AI writing". But after picking all human... how does this man continue to embarrass himself this much?

The McCarthy sentence is neither clunky, nor a mistake... NOR does it have anything to do with punctuation???

Matt Gurney: The gutless abandonment of Jewish Canadians will get much worse Giving them the protection they deserve and have a right to expect is simply too inconvenient and controversial.

I am not sure anything could have diverted what seems to be fanatical and poisonous anti-Semitism - shooting at synagogues can't be anything else - and I don't know how you staunch this. But I hate that Jews have to live in fear in Toronto, and in Canada. www.readtheline.ca/p/matt-gurne...

One of my Trump theories is that every single act by him or under his presidency, especially in the second term, is a scandal and possibly a crime. Everything.

Video appears to show U.S. cruise missile striking Iranian school compound The seven-second video was released by Iranian state media and directly contradicts statements made by President Trump, who said Iran was responsible for the strike.

The Iranian girls’ school was hit by a US tomahawk cruise missile. NPR has confirmed the footage.
