When the government turns punishment into a public spectacle, it's worth asking why. Intimidation? Desensitization? Political theater? Whatever the answer, this is being done with the full support of the president. Pay attention.

The Feds will subsidize a $100 billion pipeline after paying $34bil for the last one. But the PM signs on with Trump to fight subsidized EV technology. This has nothing to do with jobs. It is about blocking the expansion of cheap/accessible alternatives. www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

I’m increasingly convinced, watching his politics, that what motivates Carney the most isn’t brutally ~pragmatic~ economics. The pipeline shows he’s willing to make moves with no economic case, seemingly to be popular in Alberta. I think he’s motivated by his own legacy.

The fallout wasn't just diplomatic—it was physical. Within weeks of Oct 7, the US had to redirect tens of thousands of 155mm artillery shells to Israel that were originally bound for Ukraine. It triggered an immediate supply drop on Ukraine's front lines.

The timing immediately drained the political "oxygen" and media attention from Ukraine. As a European diplomat told POLITICO, it was "the best birthday gift for Putin" because it forced the West to split its intelligence, diplomatic focus, and military aid.

Was the October 7 attack on Israel a geopolitical "birthday gift" to Vladimir Putin? While there's no smoking gun proving Moscow ordered it, the date alignment and strategic fallout make it a highly credible theory among intelligence experts. Let’s break down why 👇

100% endorse this thread. I teach consent, violence prevention & bystander intervention for a living - It is my area of expertise. There is *no* evidence of the existence of an "Oops, my bad!" rapist. "Sexual assault is a miscommunication" is a myth without any evidence. It is an intentional act.

The two places where adult men experience the highest rates of sexual assault are in the military and while incarcerated. That fact alone proves that sexual assault is about power, domination and humiliation. It's about making someone "your bitch" - proving the inherent misogyny involved.
