I wonder if the New York Times will go after any of the prominent academics in the Epstein files for being rapists as hard as they went after Claudine Gay for being kind of sloppy with citations in her graduate thesis.

If not, why not?

How can anyone take seriously the claims of national "taxpayer federation" with 5-6 members, does not disclose its finances/donors, and has zero transparency - yet demands transparency from others. It is time to investigate the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

A modern-day Conservative politician's primary function is to convince you you're living in a dystopian hellscape and promise you they are the only one who can save you from the dystopia they've convinced you is real by offering you a tax credit for your kids' private school tuition.

U.S. ambassador says Washington has to 'take a look' at airport pre-clearance, citing drop in Canadian tourism | CBC News U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra said Washington may need to reassess airport pre-clearance as part of an at-times tense exchangeΒ duringΒ a forum withΒ Canadian business leadersΒ in Banff, Alta., ...

Can we all just stop listening to this guy? He’s a goombah.

Pre-clearance was originally put in place at the request of the USA, to protect the USA and prevent asylum claims on their soil.

Who keeps inviting him to speak? Just stop attending and reporting on his events.

Trump's big week:

Puts escalators on official list of terrorist organizations

Says we're putting to much liquids in babies

Indicts former FBI Director because

Gets lost in an IKEA and puts tariffs on them to punish it

Makes frenemies with Ukraine

Stops war between Magicland and Pretendville

What are you suggesting, that he is acting under Presidential Orders to hide Donny's involvement in a high profile assassination in order to fire up his base while lending a pretext to further dictorial measures & distracting the country from the Epstein files which would prove he is a pedophile?

An important detail of today's shooting is that Utah is one of only two states in the country that allow campus carry. I hope that this decision is revisited.

In a metaphor that was too on-the-nose, there was a military flyover in Washington, D.C. that drowned out Epstein survivors who were speaking out.

I'm happy to report they persisted.

As a survivor, I can't think of a more fitting metaphor than a rapist creating loud noises with planes as a survivor tries to tell her story. I mean... just wow. Nevertheless, she persisted.

The United States could have great things like this. But we like to spend our money on kidnapping people and trafficking them to concentration camps instead. #Priorities

The President of Ireland is famous not just for his speeches or his warm smile, but also for never being without his dog. Michael D. Higgins is often seen with his beloved St. Bernard–Bernese Mountain Dog mix, BrΓ³d, whose name means β€œpride” in Irish.

Federal agents violently detained a food delivery driver as he emerged from a D.C. coffee shop Saturday morning.

The incident captured on video showed the officers throwing him to the ground and beating him before sweeping him away in an unmarked vehicle. wapo.st/45Egtkc

This is a common tactic of the fascist. Their enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak. In the same way, he would talk about Biden being a mastermind and also a doddering old man.

Myth of the big, bad megacity What the right feels about metropoles isn’t physical fear. It’s discomfort

This recent article is HUGELY relevant now.

β€œWhat the far right feels about cities isn’t physical fear. It’s discomfort. Canadian city planner @brenttoderian.bsky.social decodes this feeling as: β€œI’m not the majority anymore, it isn’t my city anymore.” @simonkuper.bsky.social in @financialtimes.com
