Kaine: "I'd like to talk about the complete weakness of the legal rationale about the strikes on boats, but I can't because the administration has only shared it in a classified setting. I can't tell you why the rationale for attacking VZ is hollow because again it was shared in a closed setting"

When we learned last year that Bessent got in a shoving match with Elon Musk in the White House, I'm sure some people said "Huh, maybe he's an okay guy" but in actuality Bessent is a smug asshole, and he just happened to get in a fight with another smug asshole

Stand With Minnesota Donation Directory Stand With Minnesota is a hub for supporting, learning, and taking action to support Minnesotans impacted by ICE and federal enforcement.

Thx for the support last Friday for the MN General Strike

Public Notice subscriptions raised $14,314, which we rounded up to $5k each for Midway-Hamline Diaper Fund, Every Meal, & People Over Papers

If you’re looking to help, check out Stand With MN. As my dad used to say, take care of each other

What a fantastic lady Britt Allcroft was! Mortgaging her own house to fund the Thomas & Friends television series! And even managing to convince The Beatles drummer Sir Ringo Starr to narrate the first and second series of the show. Those two things take encouragement to do!

The local councillor is sure to foster a reasonable dialogue about all this since he has such a history of measured convo wait (finger to earpiece) wait one moment....

Harbord has a few Montreal moments. Not the house style but the balcony contraptions.

Always loved the former Royal Bank branch at Spadina & Harbord. Circa 1979 by Ernest Annau (he did a number of neat projects in this era - like the cool mod townhouses on Walker ave branchplant.com/news/globe-a...). Nods to the adjacent victorians, but it was its own thing.

Maybe I’m just a silly little layperson but imo we could be building subway stations that have revenue generators stacked on top. Ex. could student housing fit on top of here? A little dorm hat?

If you are a non-white registered voter and are reasonably worried about the prospect of voting in-person in 2026 (either early or on Election Day) due to threats from ICE at polling locations, consider looking into vote-by-mail options in your state that will not require your physical presence.
