The government legislation affirms they know they’ll kill these orcas. Why else would they need ministerial abilities to ignore laws that prevent projects from driving a species to extinction/extirpation AND to ignore conditions put in place to protect these orcas from this specific port expansion?

Personally I think it’s great that Carney wants to force feed us more American groceries at the exact moment that their food safety infrastructure is very publicly collapsing! At least it’s all in the service of a trade agreement that THEY’LL NEVER EVEN PRETEND TO HONOUR ANYWAY
Tweet from @AshleyBurkeCBC: An industry source said a gov't official confirmed Canada's potential deal with the U.S. includes a change to the way dairy import licenses are allocated by the gov't. It could mean an increase in the supply of U.S. dairy products in Canadian retail stores, the source said.

That's what taxes are, man. That's the definition of taxes. "You are subsidizing things you might never use" man shut the fuck up. My taxes currently subsidize like oil company exec private jets, you think I'm upset at low-income people eating inexpensive bananas?

Very cool that Shopify’s CEO thinks the poor should have far less of a vote than the rich. Still worth that ad read money, folks?
Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke says “good system.” In response to the following proposal: 

“Interesting... what about weighted voting proportional to the level of income tax you pay? (no income tax paid - O vote, $1-100k - 1 vote, $100-200k 2 votes and so on... cap it at 5 votes for $500k+. For those that constantly complain about the wealthy not paying tax/fair share they'd have nothing to worry about right? Why not reward representation of taxation and build a democracy around those that foot the bill?”

Race (and ethnicity) are social constructions that have no genetic basis. When you give students better scientific lessons about how genetics actually work, it reduces racism. So the Trump admin ended the career of the scientist leading the fight to make that education possible.

A star scientist showed that better genetics lessons could reduce racism. It was the death knell for his career
Brian Donovan had persuaded high school teachers and education researchers that prejudice might be ended by changing how genetics is taught.

It perpetually impresses/amazes me how easily the punditocracy ignores the impact of cutting taxes on deficits/debt. The only thing anyone ever seems to discuss with regularity is *spending* - as if that captures the entire problem (on either side of the political spectrum).

The feds had to scrape, claw, cut programs & slash budgets just to get to this (completely arbitrary) 2% target. Our reward is that in 2035, NATO targets for defense spending balloon to 5%. We're in for a long decade of austerity but, boy, will we have several more useless shiny fighter jets.

Sure, US airports are so understaffed on security that some 19-year-old recruit from the Special Racism Unit will leave you waiting 5 hours while they figure out how to work the conveyor belt, but at least they're also so understaffed on air traffic controllers that your plane might just blow up

If your soldiers are sexually assaulting prisoners with knives, and the footage AIRS ON TV, and the government comes out and says that investigating these soldiers for crimes is "an affront to their service", uhh QUESTION for you: what "service" is it that you think these soldiers are providing
A video of the alleged assault, which was aired by Israeli news, shows soldiers taking a detainee into an area they cordoned off with shields in an apparent attempt to hide their actions. The indictment said the soldiers assaulted the Palestinian prisoner and sodomized him with a knife, causing multiple injuries.

A medical staffer familiar with the case who spoke on condition of anonymity out of fear for his safety said the detainee arrived at a civilian hospital in life-threatening condition with blunt trauma to the abdomen and the chest and fractured ribs.

He said the detainee underwent surgery for a perforated rectum and was released back to Sde Teiman days later.

The arrest of the soldiers prompted fury from hard-line ultranationalists who violently overran the prison in protest. Members of Israel’s far-right government called the investigation into their conduct an affront to their service.

After sexual violence, it's victims who get punished the most. Victims who lose their jobs and have to leave their industries. Victims who lose their friends and support systems. Victims who lose their health and sanity. Perpetrators might lie low, sometimes, before being handed it all back.

I hope I understand this correctly. SCOTUS announces the tariffs are illegal. This means importers can sue for refunds of the tariffs they paid. But about 90% of those tariff costs were passed on to consumers in the form of higher prices. So importers get the refund plus the higher prices?
