Another year, another record high for Canadian oil and gas production. At some point, the oil and gas industry and its various proxies might want to face up to the fact that Liberal governments are actually good for their business, @maxfawcett.bsky.social writes.

Layoffs just hit their highest start-of-year total since January 2009 — the height of the Great Recession — according to data tracking firm Challenger.

Meanwhile, CEO pay and corporate profits continue to hit record highs.

Does anyone still believe that trickle-down tax cuts create jobs?

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.

What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?

I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

'My own government attempted to execute me,' Chicago woman shot by Border Patrol testifies Marimar Martinez said she believes that she survived her encounter with Border Patrol agents so she could share her story.

JUST IN: A federal judge has barred ICE and DHS from using taxpayer information provided by the IRS.

Judge Talwani says that DHS' view that noncitizens lack 4th amendment rights — combined with ICE use of administrative warrants — is a recipe for abuse.

In the historically anti-union South, the UAW just secured a landmark contract with Volkswagen.

The workers won major wage increases, job security against outsourcing, and higher-quality healthcare.

Congratulations to these workers, and remember: there is always hope in labor.

A Secret Oil Cartel Might Have Killed Our Clean-Energy Future In a landmark antitrust case, Michigan alleges oil companies colluded to “capture and kill” clean-energy and electric-vehicle efforts.

Big Oil "purchased solar and EV patents to ensure others couldn’t use them, solicited control of renewable markets and then abandoned them, and funded powerful institutions to promote false solutions, all while using trade groups to downplay the harms of fossil fuels, according to the complaint." 😠

Thanks for the giggles

ICE claim that a man shattered his skull running into wall triggers tension at a Minnesota hospital Nurses in Minneapolis doubted federal immigration officers' claims about a Mexican immigrant's severe injuries.

Law enforcement cannot be lawless.

Thousands of aggressive, untrained agents of the federal government continue to injure and terrorize Minnesotans. This must end.

In modern history, there's never been a bigger threat to our Constitution and our way of life than and his enablers.

Wow! Just wow.
I continue to question how ICE continues to reign terror on the States.

Remember the hypocrisy of Danielle Smith telling Albertans we can't afford net zero and the power grid would be at risk if forced to adopt EV's. A year later she's building out and pushing data centres which would consume more power than any EV's ever sold and used in Alberta. #abpoli

Billie Eilish: "No one is illegal on stolen land"

I am grateful that the judge recognized the moral and legal incorrectness of Liam and his father’s detention, but we must dismantle the system that allowed this to happen.
