You've all heard of the Resource Curse: countries are impoverished by rich resources in their territories, as these trigger colonial looting.
Now we see the Base Curse: if you host a US base, you don't enhance your security. You make yourself a target.
In 2010, an undocumented farmworker from Mexico received a misdemeanor citation for leaving his two young kids alone to buy them pajamas at Walmart.

UBC hosted Rachel Maddow to discuss extremism and American global collapse. She brought two decades of research on a man picking trade wars with allies, threatening Greenland, and feuding with Canada’s Prime Minister. The Chan Centre was full. The irony was fuller.
I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.
This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.
I don't often say something is a must-listen but if you want to be able to have any convos about women in sports, regardless of your current stance, this is a must-listen www.cbc.ca/listen/cbc-p...
Yes! I had listened when it came out. So good and enlightening!!!!!
Leaders of Australia’s capital cities have issued a stark warning to Labor over the dangers posed to the nation’s energy grid by power-hungry data centres, which they say will drive up electricity bills without decisive commonwealth intervention www.theaustralian.com.au/nation/polit...
Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.
OpenAI head of robotics just resigned over company deal with the Pentagon saying…

Judge orders refunds after Supreme Court strikes down Trump’s tariffs
I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

Of course. No one wanted this war. They wanted food and health care and energy prices to go down. Now all those things will cost more.
It's a war of folly by a doddering old man who likes when things blow up and needs to distract us from the child sex ring he's connected to.
somehow had not ever ridden in a Tesla until last night and wow what a hunka junk!! everything feels a little thin and flimsy. it's like a fake car. i needed to be told how to open the door when entering and exiting lol just a real symphony of industrial design and engineering

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

This is still worth saying for the record.
No one who is opposed to the US bombing of Iran is actually SUPPORTIVE of the repressive regime currently in Iran.
This is not a case of choosing one evil over another. Rather, it's choosing a universal principle, that unprovoked murder is always wrong.

If someone with a Canadian flag in his name posts about "the Prime Minister", why on Earth would you assume he's talking about the British PM?

A PSA from Thomas Massie:
100 accounts are behind majority of conspiracy theory content in Canada www.nationalobserver.com/2026/02/25/n...
"...analyzed over 14 million social media posts from accounts in Canada, and found that 87% of conspiratorial claims come from influencers."
Those on "X were the biggest culprits."
