covid threw into high relief how many working class people are absolutely necessary to keeping society functional, and rather than that sparking a renewed commitment to an economy that rewards such workers, we've seen an elite backlash against even modest increases in their market power

Self-identifying as a centrist is perhaps the most cynical and amoral political identity you can have because you're just openly admitting your beliefs aren't really beliefs they're just strategic positions that only exist relative to others in the room you happen to be in

The US Embassy in Stockholm threatened the city that any contractors fire their DEI employees. Stockholm blew them off: “If the U.S.A. terminates its acquaintance with the City Planning Office, the embassy will have a hard time with building permits." www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Stockholm rejects ‘bizarre’ US demand that city and embassy contractors be anti-DEI
France was also hit with the demand. ‘France and Europe will defend their companies, their consumers, but also their values,’ said the French Foreign Trade Ministry

Under Trump, Americans are relearning the lesson we learned about the oligarchy during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good.

Make no mistake Canada, this isn't as much a victory as just avoiding the worst option. 20 years ago Carney would have been a contender to lead the Conservatives. That's just how far Canada has shifted in the Harper and on period. Carney is a further push *right* from Trudeau. #cdnpoli #canada

It's election day in Canada, and I know some people are pretty apathetic about voting. But today is a rare opportunity to make Pierre Poilievre—who is, by all reports, a giant asshole on every single level—profoundly unhappy. How often in life do you get the chance to make a shitweasel bully cry?

“It’s no secret that Pierre Poilievre hates journalists, particularly anyone who’s going to scrutinize his policies. That is, quite frankly, an unforgivable sin for any politician.“ Poilievre’s disdain for the institution of journalism is shameful. An editorial by @taylornoakes.com.

I feel like there's a serious cognitive dissonance when liberals accuse leftists and their convictions for Trump getting elected. Leftists knew from the jump the two parties were indistinguishable. Figuring that shit out is kind of the left's whole deal.

You want to know the truth about why there are so many cases of autism, ADD, ADHD today? It's the same reason why there are more planets and stars today compared to decades ago. You're all caught up now. Leave the kids alone.

Guys, I love all of you, but the answer to RFK, Jr. is not that autistic adults hold jobs, pay taxes, and get laid, it's that everyone deserves to live even if they can't work, pay taxes, or get laid.

Really proud of this girl. 2.5 weeks ago this stray girl named Mia was eating ICE, and weighed 27 lbs. She spent her first 4 nights in rescue at the vet getting fluids and a full workup. The vet said she should be 50-60 lbs... #dogsky
Mia, very malnourished stray dog from rural Manitoba in late March, 27 lbs on intake.

Vaccinations are (at least partially) why I've lived to the ripe old age of 48, not why I'm autistic. And the suggestion that people are better off dead than autistic is doing no favors to a group with a disturbingly high suicide rate. #autistic

$5,000 fine, 6 months in jail, or both. That's what could happen if you're a Canadian that unfortunately finds yourself in the USA for more than 30 days and haven't submitted a G-325R form to the US government. 🇨🇦, it's just not worth traveling to the USA.

Maybe I'm just super sensitive to the misconstrued science thing with the wolves because I'm autistic and the reason we've got measles outbreaks and kids dying is because bullshit science was used to "explain" how you got people like me by preventing your kids from getting plagued.

Americans take note... Quotes from Lady Death herself, 309 confirmed kills, all Nazis.
If you don't kill them (fascists) at once, you'll have no end of trouble.Every fascist who remains alive will kill women, children, and old folks. Dead fascists are harmless. Therefore, if I kill a fascist, I'm saving lives.

Lots to process right now, but rather than tariffs or trade war, I think it's more accurate to say that the US and China are imposing mutual blockades on each other's goods. One underpriced scenario is the return of smuggling as a major component of trade, as during Napoleon's Continental System.

Visits to the U.S. from overseas fell 11.6% in March compared to the same month last year, according to preliminary government data released Tuesday.

This is the first piece of policy out of the Carney campaign that is explicitly for the people. I'm still concerned that developers will have their greedy little paws in on the action, which means wasted tax dollars in profits for them. But I'll give it the benefit of the doubt...for now.

"Capitalism in its imperialist stage leads directly to the most comprehensive socialisation of production; it, so to speak, drags the capitalists, against their will and consciousness, into some sort of a new social order, a transitional one from complete free competition to complete socialisation."
