The inevitable response will not be gun control, increased funding for mental health services, or any effort to cool tensions and “lower the temperature” It will be more ICE raids, national guard deployed to Democratic cities, and a further erosion of civil rights

Six months of congestion pricing in NYC has produced “perhaps the fastest ever environmental improvement from any policy in US history,” @us.theguardian.com’s Oliver Milman reports. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

New York City’s congestion pricing has cut pollution and traffic – but Trump still wants to kill it

When it comes to lying, Poilievre won’t be able to match Trump — if only because that’s not humanly possible. His lies are appropriately Canadian, by comparison: more modest in scale, less adventurous...

"Crucially, a skeptic actually questions, as in seeks answers. A person who merely refuses to learn what can be known is not a skeptic, but rather an ignoramus; a person who raises questions but does not seek their answers is not a skeptic, but a bullshitter." 👏👏👏

a big & fascinating feature on @thenarwhal.ca today about how BC gave away around 20% of Vancouver Island's land mass to pay for a rail line — a 137-year-old transaction that is continuing to stymy negotiations for the First Nations whose homelands were sold without their consent

Here’s a few things you can expect temporarily when there’s an outage: - “Invalid Handle” everywhere - Likes don’t seem to work (they’re just being slow) - Your post isn’t showing up (same, just being slow) - Random errors or blank screens, the usual app broken stuff
