I feel like I'm starting to understand what has happened to the American right now that I'm half-way through this book: www.amazon.ca/Hayeks-Basta...

Three rules in FBI firearm training:

1. Always point your weapon downrange
2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot
3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot

Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like

I guess you don't *have* to be a racist to support the Trump regime, but it sure must help.

Two kinds of Americans right now. Ones who are collaborating with the racists, and the ones who are resisting.

Those folks oughta read Exit, Voice, and Loyalty, the classic by Albert O. Hirschman. "Exit" is pretty clearly not the answer in this case.

Just sat in on a webinar by some insurance analysts -- you know, the folks that earn their living by being right about risks. They said "You won't find climate change deniers working at insurance companies." That should mean something to folks. #climatechange

Yup, cancelled. And I *normally* think boycotts are misguided.

I mostly think boycotts are misguided. But I just cancelled our Disney+ account.

When you publish a website that posts the names and photos of scholars who have written or said things you disagree with and encourage people to surveil and harass them, you are not, in fact, a “free speech” organization.

I'm not the first to say it, but: police & military are the hearts and minds we need to persuade.

Whether it's Twitter or Trump 2.0, Elon's real talent is to trash things he overpaid for

I don't understand any parent who would say otherwise. But it's nice to see someone with a big name say it. :-)

@tps.ca Question: on Dupont around Christie this morning there is road construction going on -- fenced off by pylons declaring "Police Emergency". Real emergency?

“The grass is greener…”. I get your point but in fact no reason to think that conservatives have any solutions to this (nor to think that there is anything like a true epidemic of crime)

Every Trump supporter needs to hear these words: Americans and Canadians fought side by side in WWII *against* leaders like Trump. And we won.
