NYT wanted to write a story about "moderate Dems go to war with DSA," looked around, and the best they could find was a *proposal* by Third Way to spend $15M against left candidates. The story is not evidence that *Democrats* and the left hate each other... it's evidence that the NYT hates both.

1/ More than 99% of CUPE cabin crew workers at WestJet voted in favour of a strike mandate. We've seen what Mark Carney does when workers legally exercise their rights. The Liberals have used Section 107 multiple times to stamp out worker power, forcing them back to work without a fair contract.

This Wikipedia page is so damn long, because irresponsibly initiating "regime changes" with no real contingency plan is as American as apple pie. To anyone espousing the idea that Maduro needed to go (he was, admittedly, a ghoul), countless examples prove this is not the right way to do it. 🗃️

This never has worked - not once. Once you concede the the far right's framing on immigration, you're dead, because you can never serve up as remedies as vile or extreme as they can, but you're also saying they have the right idea. And no one will vote for that dead dog in the middle of the road.

Meta is fundamentally evil company that deserves to be wiped off the face of the planet.
"Excerpt from an article published by The Intercept. The text discusses policies around allowing disparaging remarks about transgender individuals, including children. It mentions that the term 'tranny' is no longer considered a slur and provides examples of speech that should no longer be removed, such as statements using derogatory language against transgender individuals in various contexts."

I talked to 10 current and former Meta employees about the company's surrender to the right on speech issues. All were upset. One person called the changes "a precursor to genocide" www.platformer.news/meta-fact-ch...
But in its panicked retreat from the system it spent years building, Meta may now be putting billions of users at risk. Just because Meta deleted that line about hateful speech causing offline violence doesn't mean it isn't true. And now the company has all but declared open season on immigrants, transgender people and whatever other targets that Trump and his allies find useful in their fascist project.

"I can't tell you how much harm comes from non-illegal but harmful content," a longtime former trust and safety employee at the company told me. The classifiers that the company is now switching off meaningfully reduced the spread of hate movements on Meta's platforms, they said. "This is not the climate change debate, or pro-life vs. pro-choice. This is degrading, horrible content that leads to violence and that has the intent to harm other people."

Bezos is paying the Trumps $40 million (not a typo) to make a documentary about Melania that no one asked for or wants, and is certain to obscure any interesting fact—like her initial immigration status, whether her marriage is a sham, all Trump’s affairs—a viewer might want. Seems like... Bribery?
