"The right has constructed its own information ecosystem, of podcasts, news channels, and social media accounts, that relentlessly defends Trump and prevents counter-narratives, or even basic reality, from penetrating through to voters. Democrats have constructed no such counter-system."

You Can't Build a Better Politics on Bad History
Sarah Longwell's "How to Eat an Elephant" offers useful advice for Democratic politics. Yet it is also based on a false history of the GOP.

Truth and reconciliation cannot be confined to September 30. For those of us in healthcare, part of the work is listening to Indigenous voices, recognizing the limits of our own knowledge, and allowing what we learn to shape the care we provide. Some reflections:

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is walking around and encounters an unexpected persimmon on the floor. As he goes on, he passes a larger pile of the fruit, and then arrives at a persimmon pile that's twice the size of a fox. On the centre of it is Green, serenely basking in the presence of ripe persimmon with his eyes closed.
Blue: It's persimmon season?
Green: It's persimmon season.

Harper said, 'Canada is a Northern European welfare state in the worst sense of the term, and very proud of it.' Like Harper, Pierre Poilievre is also no economist, certainly no statesman, not trustworthy, and not somebody who I would ever want running our country.

Only about 17% of gasoline consumed in Canada is imported. Mostly from the EU. There are 14 Canadian refineries that process *light crude* into gasoline. 48% of that crude is imported. From roughly 10 countries. The Irving refinery in NB imports light crude from Saudi Arabia.

Why in hell would Quebec separatists meet with MAGA, who wants to annex them?? MAGA would only hack to bits their language and culture. If the US won't tolerate Spanish you can bet they won't accept French as a language. Everything Quebec has done to preserve their French heritage would disappear.
