I want the next Democratic president, on Day One, to arrest Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth, put them in a C-130 to The Netherlands, and tells the Hague to do its worst. I don't care if it upends their first 100 days agenda. We never get the Rule of Law back without enforcing laws.
by the way, when I say Elon's mom was raised by Nazis I don't mean that as some throwaway generic insult... I mean her father was literally a Hitler supporter who moved to South Africa in 1948 specifically for Apartheid
she coincidentally left just as Apartheid was falling

the senate needs to haul hegseth in for hearings, because he will crack under detailed questioning about the rank and deadly incompetence of his leadership of the DOD
Every political party except the Greens chose on Thursday to grant themselves an indefinite exemption from laws protecting the privacy of Canadians, rejecting Senate concerns about Bill C-4.
Last year's Cowichan decision and the recent rights agreement with the Musqueam Nation has some Canadians worried -- and Conservative politicians, pundits and influencers actively trying to amplify their fears.
We can, and should, do better. #cdnpoli

BYD, China’s largest car manufacturer, is actively considering building a plant in Canada while also keeping its options open to acquire a more established global automaker.
I am begging my fellow Canadians to take a break for a second from obsessing about American corruption to focus on our home grown versions.
Ford is a corrupt crony goon who has done countless shady backroom deals. He wants to remove one of our most powerful tools to hold him accountable. Fuck that!
To be frank, Thomas Mulcair was never a real NDPer, he was from the right-wing of the Charest Liberals in Québec, and he took the NDP the furthest it has ever been from it's socialist roots, all to get outflanked on the left by the Liberals and do no better than Ed Broadbent did at his peak.
Need a bit of good news to end the work week? I cover economic growth spurred by climate solutions in China, legacy PFAS levels declining in North Atlantic Pilot whales, and more!
And then, of course, the greatest example is the money printing. It’s the most complicated one for anyone to understand. I don’t think there are 10 Members of Parliament who even understand how government is creating inflation by printing money. But the reality is, we’ve been creating cash about seven times faster than we build homes. So the result is that housing costs continually inflate.
Just complete fabrications from Poilievre, and nobody challenges him on it. Too many people believe that he knows what he's talking about, and it's all just bullshit.
(This from the interview he did with Wells).

Out of all the stories on the lawful access bill being tabled, the CBC's is by far the most supine. Just full-on stenography of the government's talking points and justification, with zero interviews with anyone concerned with the massive surveillance provisions in the bill.
An effective long term strategy for those who care about independent and credible news would be to fund nonprofits to enable nonpartisan journalism. We can see where CNN is going, we need more ProPublicias.
Screenshot from 1960s Japanese movie Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster. A serious-looking man in a suit is explaining his latest idea. Subtitle reads 'It may sound primitive and unscientific, but through the fairies, we could ask Mothra to help.'

I'm gonna need some rich people who aren't crazy to get in front of a camera before the world economy is completely upended.
Americans are about to learn one of the things I was yelling about during the campaign: the US cannot produce enough oil to keep us from feeling the global shocks of oil prices, because oil is produced by companies who will just charge us more money if the supply goes down elsewhere.
A still from a video of a tiny white horse the size of a large dog. Its forelock is braided. It's wearing a little blue vest/cape. It has tiny black booties on it's itty bitty hooves.
I just want to make sure everyone knows Mayo Clinic has a therapy miniature horse named Blue Sky
anyway the for-profit prison system is about as unambiguously evil of an institution as I can comprehend, even the ones that aren’t related to ICE at all
another shady as hell “he mysteriously had a seizure and ICE disclosed nothing” case today - Huabing Xie of China, who died in California last September, in a for-profit facility that apparently hadn’t been able to fill their medical director position and which no county officials ever inspected
Steve Mnuchin and his Bond villain wife holding a sheet of dollar bills
somehow, unironically: just want him back
The goal here is that poor children will be deliberately raised wrong, deskilled from square one.
The exact same goal that animated making it a crime for a slave to be literate, the same goal that animated banning women from education, etc.
It's the modern version of raising a serf.
Founders don't waste time with "maybe this hasn't been tried because it's obviously a bad idea," they go straight for "I came up with a genius solution no one else thought of because I am special and all my thoughts are prophecies"
What I find interesting about this line is that it’s an admission in order for this to happen, they need you to lose your ordinary intelligence that you already have.
This is why they want to get into schools. They want kids to lose basic capacity so that they have to rent it forever.
@TheChiefNerd SAM ALTMAN: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."
i don’t know how this is supposed to work in terms of intelligence but whatever these guys do is taking stuff that is not theirs to take and then sell it for the highest possible price
electricity water clean air knowledge
you name it
they should be treated like the common thieves they are
i feel like if i was tasked with not starting a war and bringing back US manufacturing jobs, i could have done a better job than this
"Renewables are not vulnerable to these oil spike market disruptions. They’re good business. Cheaper than fossils, quicker to build, more reliable," says IEEFA's Mark Kalegha
