"The activity Toronto police are accused of is not so different from what was meant to frighten Torontonians into supporting the budget increase two years ago"

Such intricate beauty.

Good thread.

Among the batch of newly released emails from Jeffrey Epstein: Epstein telling Peter Thiel he would “gladly share…expenses for the Gawker suit.”

This was sent the day after @rmac.bsky.social and @mattdrange.bsky.social reported in Forbes that Thiel was behind the lawsuit that would bankrupt Gawker

6. Weiss presents her mission at CBS as restoring trust by elevating centrist voices, which is accurate enough if we understand "centrist voices" to mean "the type of men likely to hang out with Jeffrey Epstein."

Unfortunately the RCAF has a big hard on for the F-35. They want to play with the same toys the big brother USAF has. I suspect the F-35 will prove to be a hangar queen or too expensive to operate. Most hours will be flown on the sim. And why use Joint Strike Fighter as interceptor?

TRUMP & GREENLAND ….and much more

The speech at the first inauguration was the vision of what he wants “American carnage” Violence just for the sake of violence.

Dearest MAGA men,
No matter how painful it is, having your feelings hurt for being a POS is NOT, in fact, internal bleeding.

As in any Greek tragedy it’s the hubris that comes before the fall.

The sad thing is that your comment applies to just about every situation out there right now.

Right.

If you want a good explanation of why the American system of government worked well enough for 200 years and then suddenly stopped, it's because Republicans in Congress suddenly started letting their partisan interests COMPLETELY override their institutional interests

Possibly an insult to the intelligence of gorillas.

If you care about the values of liberal democracy or the rule of law, you don't celebrate this the way Pierre Poilievre just did. You deplore it.

As people like Poilievre, Kenney and Chong line up to praise Trump.

Screenshot of an archived tweet from Donald J. Trump dated October 9, 2012. The tweet claims that President Obama might launch military strikes in Libya or Iran due to falling poll numbers and describes him as desperate. The image shows the tweet in the older Twitter Web Client interface, with the timestamp visible at the bottom.

There’s always a tweet.

Your so-called great experiment in democracy is over. It has not ended well. No American should be lecturing anyone about democracy and freedom for decades to come.

Venezuela - The Lesson for Canada Make no mistake, the attack on Venezuela by the Trump regime is not about removing a rogue leader; it is a deliberate attack on international law.

Canada needs to take see the invasion of Venezuela for what it is - a deliberate attack on the international rules based order. We have a bandit nation on our border and we need to be ready for whatever comes next.

Steve Bannon being friends with Jeffrey Epstein after spending years doing his whole populist, “down with the elites” bullshit is so funny.

These entire movement is just criminals, liars, and sex offenders.

AMERICA’S PROBLEM WITH EUROPE IS THEY DON’T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COMMUNISM & SOCIALISM

In simple terms the right wing of American politics - and this even colludes many Democrats, simply do not understand the difference between Soviet communism and its one party dictatorship by commitee,

So bloody stupid. Is America ever going to recover from this epidemic of idiocy.

Excellent point re Donald Trump.

One way to think of this, of course, is that American collapse didn't happen quickly at all. The decade-long paralysis of the Senate, the 40-year court project to strip the constitution like a burlesque show: by the time the fascists moved into the house, the gut renovation was almost done.

Sedation, sedition or both?

I will be blunt: the path to autocracy is paved with at least as many bricks laid by cowards and those unwilling to protect democratic institutions as it is by the actions of autocrats.

This is shameful.
