The Liberals Who Can’t Stop Winning Trump isn’t the only reason Canada’s center-left has stayed in power.

“Whatever adjectives American progressives might use to describe Democrats—feckless, weak, pathetic—the Canadian Liberals are the opposite. In fact, they may be the most successful left-of-center party on the planet,” Daniel Block writes:

AOC and Bernie in front of the rally crowd in Denver

Zoomed out crowd shot of 34,000 people in downtown Denver with Colorado mountains in the background

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

10 years ago, when I introduced a bill to make public colleges & universities tuition free, it was called "radical." Not today. Over 100 colleges & universities now offer free tuition to working class students.

Now, we must expand that idea to all public colleges & universities.

Musk is a deranged, sick person who put out a tweet defending Hitler. Running interference for genocidal dictators who ordered mass murder is beyond the pale. Someone should educate him on the evils of the Holocaust. In the meantime he should be removed from his role—now!

Why is Donald Trump crashing the US economy? Because he’s high on his own supply of fake news | Jonathan Freedland

"Donald Trump is seemingly set on destroying the US economy. And he’s doing it because he, and the American right, have lost their ability to grasp reality," writes Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland.

Invading Canada Is Not Advisable We’ve tried before. It didn’t work out.

America has tried to annex Canada before. It didn't go well then, @eliotacohen.bsky.social writes, and it probably won't go well now.

Trump’s Attempts to Muzzle the Press Look Familiar Much of what the U.S. president has done to curb independent media echoes the Hungarian autocrat Viktor Orbán’s playbook.

Trump’s moves to curb independent media look familiar to the Hungarian journalist András Pethő: “The MAGA authorities have learned Orbán's lessons well.” theatln.tc/VlZjD1iB

Invading Canada Is Not Advisable We’ve tried before. It didn’t work out.

“There are, as Donald Trump and Don Corleone might put it, two ways of doing this: the easy way and the hard way,” writes @eliotacohen.bsky.social.

When it comes to making Canada the 51st state, neither is advisable: theatln.tc/6oAICykE

A small sparrow looks up into the bare branches of a tree where a distant crow is perched. "Crows are so creepy," it says, "ominously perched in a dead tree...". The sparrow starts to see the crow with glowing eyes and jagged teeth, "who knows what they're up to...". The crow is now seen wearing strange occult symbols, a strange liquid drips from its eye, it is muttering something in an eerie and unknown language. "Conjuring demons?" the sparrow continues postulating, "Human worship? Rodent necromancy?" The crow is now seen as a normal crow, and the sparrow is right beside it, looking at it, and says: "Teach me your ways"

The terrible CR Budget bill — written by right-wing House Republicans with no input from anybody but themselves — was passed tonight with the support of 10 Democrats.
 
An absolute failure of Democratic leadership. NOBODY in the Senate should have voted for this dangerous bill.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN.

☎️: (202) 224-3121

Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.

The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING.

Call retiring Senators too!

Why 70 Percent of Israelis Want Netanyahu to Resign The Israeli prime minister ignores the views of the majority of his people.

“The war has sublimated the rage seething beneath the surface to the needs of national security. But once Israelis stop fighting Hamas in Gaza, they will inevitably turn their sights on their own leadership,” @yair-rosenberg.bsky.social writes:

There’s Nothing Else Like Netflix’s 'Mo' The Palestinian American sitcom is the first of its kind—and takes its humor very seriously.

The television show “Mo” tells an honest, complicated, and, most important, funny story about a Palestinian American family, writes Hannah Giorgis:

‘I feel utter anger’: From Canada to Europe, a movement to boycott US goods is spreading

While Canada and Mexico have been at the frontline of Trump’s trade war, the boycott movement is visible far beyond countries whose economies have been targeted.

Elon Musk Also Has a Problem with Wikipedia Lately, Musk’s beef has merged with a general conviction on the right that the site is biased against conservatives.

The thousands of volunteer editors who write, edit, and fact-check Wikipedia adhere remarkably well, over all, to one of its core values: the neutral point of view. But Elon Musk, like others on the right, insists the site is biased against conservatives.

The US Postal Service helped build the Black middle class. Trump could end that legacy

In recent weeks, the fate of the USPS, a vital public institution, has been uncertain.

Trump’s potential plans for the USPS could threaten the agency’s rich legacy of Black employment.
