This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

On World Rabies Day, we want to share two important pieces of information: 1. Cats are NOT a major rabies threat. They rarely contract rabies, let alone transmit it to people, and cat-to-human rabies transmission is exceedingly unlikely. Community cats are safe members of our communities.

John Roberts has spent his entire career trying to kill the Voting Rights Act. Now his Republican-appointed majority is dusting off arguments once used to destroy Reconstruction to roll back the gains made during the civil rights era. The latest from @AriBerman & @pemalevy: tinyurl.com/3m6nawpj
Mother Jones magazine cover linking the Roberts Supreme Court to a revival of Jim Crow: a black judicial robe hangs next to a white KKK hooded robe with a hand reaching toward it; headline "The Southern Strategy" and subhead "Jim Crow was dead and buried. Then came the Roberts court."

Framed print on a woodland wall, black frame with white boarder - a beautiful and colorful image that looks like a book cover: titled The Hobbit, JRR Tolkein at the bottom, magentas and various blues, lush greens, vibrant yellow. The fireworks is a lawn at the edge of a first looking out over the Mirkwood and over the Lonely Lake, with the yellow lights of Laketown, and beyond the Lonely Mountain. Framed image of the Barad Dur, all in blacks, whites and reds, the flaming Eye, ringed with the ring poem inscription in some sort of elvish.

“Competent white men must be in charge if you want things to work,” Beattie once wrote on X. “Unfortunately, our entire national ideology is predicated on coddling the feelings of women and minorities, and demoralizing competent white men.” An amazing article by @anneapplebaum.wsocial.eu💙⭐️
Alberta is in the middle of Canada. If the province were to detach itself, eastern Canada could be physically cut off from western Canada, the country would lose a substantial portion of its oil and natural-gas production, and the provinces important contributions to the national budget would vanish.
Canada might cease to be a viable country, especially if other provinces started to question the union. That may be the point: In 1990, Pat Buchanan, the intellectual grandfather of the MAGA movement, declared that if Quebec ever broke off from Canada, America should "pick up the pieces." This now seems to be, if not the publicly stated U.S. policy toward Canada, then at least the predator clan's policy: pressure the economy, break up the federation, pick up the pieces. And no, it is not a joke.
THE IDEA THAT a dedicated group of Americans has a plan to dismantle Canada, or that businessmen with opaque links to the U.S. government might want to create political conditions for a U.S. takeover of Greenland, may surprise Americans. It shouldn't. Every single tactic used against Brazil, Canada, or Denmark has also been deployed elsewhere—not to support democracy, not to build American prosperity, but to spread the illiberal revolution and make money for the predators who support it. Here is a partial list.
