Carney carefully weaves in his shock doctrine narrative, telling us why we have to do this NOW so “we can continue to live our lives as we choose.” The implication being: no oil pipeline, no sovereignty. Which is an unhinged thing to say, actually!

I read a couple hundred death penalty cases for a case once and I think you’d all be shocked at how often this happens. The death penalty is one of the cruelest things in our system, an obvious violation of the 8th amendment cruel and unusual punishment clause, but we just love to kill.

About 50 people crammed into the court room to hear the decision, which took Murray 10 minutes to deliver. Applause broke out as she stood, with people openly crying from relief, from happiness, from feeling like someone in power understood the urgency of the crisis.

I dream of someday having the space to report on how David Eby went from telling NDP supporters BC could not afford to keep approving fossil fuel projects to being one of LNG's biggest boosters He made that shift in less than 4 years

Elite universities mea culpas about the “loss of trust” in higher education so often fail to consider the force of the longterm propagandistic attack on universities, given extensive play in conservative media, that long preceded Trump, but which he has massively accelerated.

Trump is doing his best to weaken and undermine higher education, an area in which the United States has been a global leader since World War II, with economic and other benefits that extend far beyond the students, staff, and faculty at universities.

AI-policing may sometimes be necessary, but I suspect it’s much less effective than simply trying to engage with someone’s work. Academia already has a lot of practices designed to tell whether an idea is mushy or shallow or derivative, many of which involve talking to a human being in real time.

I have no idea how many scholars are trying to pass AI-generated articles off as their own work. But I do know that a scholar who participates in an intellectual community won’t be able to sustain it for long. What do you do at the workshop when people ask you to defend something Claude “wrote”?

this administration illegally shut down federal agencies, impounded money from Congress, set up for-profit concentration camps and sent children there. They dismantled our public health infrastructure and children died of measles. Doing accountability for crimes against our Constitution is the work.

Trump likes tarrifs because he thinks it's free money, and because people react to it, and because - we might as well believe him - he just randomly likes the word. There's never any hint that economic analysis has anything to do with it.

A Twitter post from Jas Johal:

BREAKING: Health Minister Ravi Kahlon will not be seeking re-election. The Delta North MLA was first elected in 2017, joined cabinet in 2020 and was one of Eby's most capable ministers and closest allies. A big loss for the NDP on day one of the campaign. #bcpoli #cdnpoli

This is corruption of the highest order. Susan Collins delivered millions in taxpayer dollars for a corrupt donor bankrolling her campaign, and then Donald Trump helped her cover it up. No wonder she voted with him 96% of the time and has rubberstamped his agenda to hurt Maine.

Susan Collins doesn’t care that we’re losing our health care, that ICE is killing people on the streets, and that we’ve been dragged into a pointless war — as long as her donors get their contracts and her coffers get filled.

Marcy Kaptur is the incumbent with a 5 point polling lead so I must assume she put out this ad because this is what she believes.
Tweet from Medium Buying covering a new ad:

#OH09: Incumbent Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D) is up on TV with this response spot --

Kaptur to camera:

"We're stuck in another unnecessary war and inflation is making everything worse. But, my opponent won't talk about all that. He'd rather lie about my record"

"Well, here's the truth. I voted with Republicans to keep transgender ideology out of our schools"

There is a screen shot of a white woman in a light blue business suit speaking to two other white people.
