This morning, the federal government turned the full force of the Department of Homeland Security against a sitting member of Congress for the offense of disagreeing with the White House.

The path to citizenship should not be weaponized against anyone, including Rep. Ilhan Omar, a naturalized American who swore an oath to this country — the same one that I took.

The promise of citizenship should not be contingent on someone agreeing with the federal government.

I truly don’t believe there’s any meaningful coming back from this without destroying the current system. Wealth is too concentrated and psychopathy is incentivized monetarily. It goes beyond punishment, we need to alter how our societal reward structure functions and level the field.

In #Canada, foreign interference comes only from Russia & China, and the only frontier we’re allowed to defend is the Arctic Does that sound like a sovereign foreign & military policy to you? Or does that sound like the foreign & military policy another country allows us to have? #cdnpoli

I feel this in my bones 💙
HOW WE DISAPPEAR

I am in the store touching things.
Linen napkins, a blue bowl.
The world is on fire and I am choosing between two kinds of soap.

Everyone here is doing this, filling carts with small comforts while somewhere a child goes to bed hungty, while the earth heats, while men make decisions about who gets to live.

I know what this is, this careful arranging while everything collapses.
This is how we survive.
And also how we disappear.

Debating the Cold War allows anticommunists to recite their favourite mantra indefinitely. Note: you might start hearing me use more of the language of Anton Jäger’s “hyperpolitics” going forward because as I get to know that analysis I find it pretty clarifying.

Liberal MPs have been playing playing passive, coy & cagey w their real island airport feelings, but they’re deeply implicated - even making concrete expansion plans! I go thru some of them in my @thestar.com column today & why they owe Torontonians some honest loyalty. They could stop it today.

Shawn Micallef: Toronto’s Liberal MPs have a duty to defend the city’s stake in the future of Billy Bishop airport. So why aren’t they
Billy Bishop is owned and operated by the Toronto Port Authority, a federally regulated agency, which gives Liberal MPs authority over any airport plans.

Tip for hockey media folks claiming to have even a shred of dignity left: Instead of asking US players what they think of Canadian fans booing their anthem, ask them how they feel about their president repeatedly suggesting that Canada should cease to even fucking exist. Try that just once.
