me in 2025: Jurassic Park is unrealistic because the rich CEO of the dinosaur park is not immediately handed complete control of the US National Park Service

Kill the bird. Save the world.

Wow…

YouTube video by Justin Trudeau Why Won’t Pierre Poilievre Get His Security Clearance?

Trudeau makes the most of his last day as Prime Minister to call out Pierre Poilievre’s refusal to get security clearance or even receive security briefings. What his game? Every journalist should be asking him this question and keep asking until he gives an answer. #CdnPoli youtu.be/RvVDFdvaO3Y?...

I dint think Trump thought Canada would have the backbone to stand up to him.

Legal counsel representing federal employees is now being targeted by the Trump administration. Law firms are receiving a clear message that retaliation is possible for those advocating on behalf of individuals or groups opposing the administration’s agenda.

I Could Have Been a Christian Nationalist A reflection on how easily good people lose the plot

I could so easily have learned to be afraid of diversity, too.
I could have believed the lie that my whiteness is better.
I could have been polluted by toxic religion enough to hate queer people.
an nationalist, instead of someone who opposes them.

I see tomorrow is Friday.

Is Friday going a tariff day, or a some-tariffs day, or a no-tariffs day?

Or will it be some other kind of day, like an annex-Greenland day, or a Hannibal-Lecter-wants-to-have-you-for-dinner day, or an Arnold-Palmer-size day, or something else?

I just can’t keep track.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

There were certainly signs

If you blame Ukraine for the war, you're standing with Russia. If you think Ukraine should cede land, you're standing with Russia. If you believe anything but a Ukrainian victory brings lasting peace, you're standing with Russia. If you don’t stand with Ukraine, you're standing with Russia.

Canadian here, wondering if we’ll be the next Ukraine. While this was a rhetorical question, the answer is yes. Yes, you are.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

Donald Trump is threatening our democratic right and values.
The boycott grows and goes international.
Everyone can play their part.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

At the NATO meeting a loud US republican saw my CDN flag pin on my lapel and reached for it saying, "Hey Canada."
I stopped him.
"Don't touch the Canadian flag."
"Just joking," he said.
"You'll die before you touch our flag," I said, "not joking."
He scrambled out of there.

Last night Canadians again booed the US anthem and they were right to do so.

She's not wrong......

Wow

Absolutely, and @nationalobserver.com.

Accurate.

YouTube video by CBC News Trudeau: Canada will retaliate with 25% tariffs on $155B of U.S. goods

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

TikTok took it down, so let’s share the shit out of this reading list. #HolocaustRemembranceDay #NeverAgainIsNow #BookSky
