It didn't cool off last night. The heat is going to break on Sat. when it will be hot and muggy but in the 80s Also every climate denier should have their a/c taken away.

Early reports suggest Global Affairs Canada has withdrawn sponsorship of a disinformation conference over a panel discussing the U.S. as a threat vector. If true, this is utterly embarrassing, and a sign Global Affairs is woefully unprepared to engage with the geopolitical context we are in.

It's not really fair that I blame her more than anyone else for Roe v Wade because 50 other senators helped... But she is the only one who got on the senate floor and gave a defensive angry gaslighting speech chiding us for daring to think Kavanaugh would do what we all knew he would do.

Person one: Taught my kids how socialism works. Let them trick or treat while I stayed home. Then took all their candy. Socialism 101.

Person two : The socialism part is where the community came together and fed your kids for free. The capitalism part is where you made them do all the work and stole from them.

a little louder for the cheap seats in the back
One of the biggest myths is that men rape by mistake. Like, "Oh, they need consent training." But research is very clear: Sexual violence is not a mistake. It is an intentionally made decision by people who know they don't have consent. They just don't prioritize consent over things like status, power, domination, and sexual gratification.
For my research, I got a certificate of confidentiality from the National Institutes of Health, so my notes couldn't be subpoenaed. One of the reasons I call them perpetrators in my work is because every single person I interviewed confessed in that context. The first question I would ask them was, "When you received that email from Title IX that you were under investigation, did you know what it was about?" Every perpetrator I interviewed said "yes." If sexual assault were a miscommunication, you would be wondering, What have I possibly done wrong? That is not the way that any of them reacted because they knew.

3/ Petro also accused Israeli firm BlackCore of deploying 500,000 fake accounts against him & his chosen successor.
