this really is impeachable for any president, but really grotesque coming from a regime that cut life-saving development aid because they said it was not efficient

ahhhh INCREDIBLE!!!! what amazing news 🖤 if you haven't already, read dustin's great accounting from yesterday of how VPD turned against DULF and turned DULF towards this constitutional challenge: www.defactomedia.ca/how-vancouve...

How Vancouver police turned against DULF

Court records show the same inspector who encouraged the compassion club’s founders also approved the investigation that led to raids on their homes

Honestly, I think the funniest thing about a snap provincial election being called, at least for the residents of Vancouver-Quilchena, is that we just did a whole fucking recall campaign for Dallas Brodie, and now we're getting rid of her anyways, with no additional work on our end lol.

NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.

F.B.I. Shut Down Inquiry Into Top Ally of Senator Susan Collins

The inquiry was closed last year because senior bureau officials questioned the veracity of a campaign donor’s account, according to current and former officials.

The Liberals’ new bill allows the Minister to violate workers’ right to strike based solely on her opinion after taking into account any consideration she wants. That’s not guardrails at all - it’s pure discretion.

Now if this were a rcv ballot and I was looking for a #2 — there is a councillor running who believes in a yes-and approach to housing, who showed real moral courage on supportive housing, who's engaged on governance, and who took action on safer streets. Her name is Rebecca Bligh!

✋ i think william azaroff would be a good mayor. in fact, a better mayor than anyone else who's running. i think he's got a great policy book, i think he understands the pressures on creatives and young families in this city, i think he's got a great track record of leadership on important problems

I wrote this in Jan 2025; I think it holds up www.lawfaremedia.org/article/how-...

With this in mind, the unwillingness or inability of America’s governing institutions to make use of the available constitutional tools takes on an additional significance. It is asking too much to hope that everyday citizens will be able to, on their own, closely track the decay of democratic norms and protections and formulate well-thought-through opinions on which presidential candidate is best positioned to protect them. It may be asking too much to expect that voters will choose rationally at all. (Readers may be familiar with a paper by Bartels and his co-author Christopher Achen arguing that Woodrow Wilson lost his home state of New Jersey in his 1916 reelection campaign not because of disagreement with Wilson’s policies among the state’s residents, but because of a spate of shark attacks along the Jersey Shore.)

Rather, it is the responsibility of politicians and other powerful actors—like attorneys general and Supreme Court justices—to use their knowledge and influence to maintain the integrity of the constitutional structure. That responsibility will weigh heavier during Trump’s second term. Whether these institutions can measure up to it this time around is a different question.

I believe the best way to fight fascism is to reject its principal mechanisms even when it is emotionally inconvenient, or rather, especially when it is emotionally inconvenient. There is no justice or equilibrium in a world of retribution, murder, and dehumanization.
